ECAI 2020

Cross-Border Medical Research using Multi-Layered and Distributed Knowledge

The purpose of the AAAI conference series is to promote research in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and foster scientific exchange between researchers, practitioners, scientists, students, and engineers across the entirety of AI and its affiliated disciplines. AAAI-23 is the Thirty-Seventh AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence. The theme of this conference is to create collaborative bridges within and beyond AI. Like previous AAAI conferences, AAAI-23 will feature technical paper presentations, special tracks, invited speakers, workshops, tutorials, poster sessions, senior member presentations, competitions, and exhibit programs, and two new activities: a Bridge Program and a Lab Program. Many of these activities are tailored to the theme of bridges and all are selected according to the highest standards, with additional programs for students and young researchers. 
AAAI is providing you with a conference planner, which you can use to help organize your itinerary of activities. This includes talks to attend in person, talks to attend remotely, breaks with colleagues and your site seeing activities.

KnowledgeCheckeR: Intelligent Techniques for Counteracting Forgetting

FishNet: A Unified Embedding for Salmon Recognition

In this work we consider optimization problems that require to make interdependent offline and online decisions under uncertainty. We broadly refer to long-term strategic decisions as offline and to short-term operational decisions as online. For example, in Distributed Energy Management Systems we may need to define (offline) a daily production schedule for an industrial plant, and then manage (online) its power supply on a hour by hour basis. Traditionally offline and online phases are tackled in isolation, leading to some drawbacks: offline decisions are taken without regard for the capabilities of the downstream online solver; while the applicability of the best approaches for online decisions (e.g. anticipatory algorithms) is limited by the need to provide high responsiveness. Starting from a (literature-based) baseline, we define general methods for leading to significant quality improvements, at the cost of an increased computation effort either in the offline or the online phase. All our methods have broad applicability, and provide multiple options to balance the solution quality/time trade-off, suiting a variety of practical application scenarios with both offline and online decisions and featuring continuous and discrete decisions. An extensive analysis of the experimental results shows that offline/online integration may lead to substantial benefits.

Hybrid Offline/Online Optimization Under Uncertainty

In the field of Information Retrieval, word embedding models have shown to be effective in several tasks. In this paper, we show how one of these neural embedding techniques can be adapted to the recommendation task. This adaptation only makes use of collaborative filtering information, and the results show that it is able to produce effective recommendations efficiently.

Shallow Neural Models for Top-N Recommendation

Sketches have been employed since the ancient era of cave paintings for simple illustrations to represent real-world entities. The abstract nature and varied artistic styling make automatic recognition of drawings more challenging than other areas of image classification. Moreover, the representation of sketches as a sequence of strokes instead of raster images introduces them at the correct abstract level. However, dealing with images as a sequence of small information makes it challenging. In this paper, we propose a Transformer-based network, dubbed as TransSketchNet, for sketch recognition. This architecture incorporates ordinal information to perform the classification task in real-time through vector images.

TransSketchNet: Attention-based Sketch Recognition using Transformers

The next technological revolution will be interwoven to the proliferation of intelligent systems. As we bridge the gap between physical and cyber worlds, we will give rise to large-scale, multi-agent based technologies. A key challenge that cities of the future will have to face is coordination in the use of limited resources, central to which is finding an optimal allocation between agents. To truly allow for scalable solutions, we need to shift from traditional approaches, to multi-agent solutions, ideally run on-device. We highlight a novel heuristic (ALMA), which exhibits such properties, for solving the assignment problem. ALMA is decentralized, requires only partial feedback, and has constant in the total problem size running time, under reasonable assumptions on the preference domain of the agents, making it ideal for an on-device implementation. We have evaluated ALMA in a variety of scenarios including synthetic and real data, time constraints, and on-line settings. In all of the cases, ALMA was able to reach high social welfare, while being orders of magnitude faster than the centralized, optimal algorithm.

Efficient Allocations in Constant Time: Towards Scalable Solutions in the Era of Large Scale Intelligent Systems

This paper highlights a new learning model that introduces a contextual dimension to the well-known Q-Learning algorithm. Through the identification of different contexts, the learning process is adapted accordingly, thus converging to enhanced results. The proposed learning model includes a simulated annealing (SA) process that accelerates the convergence process. The model is integrated in a multi-agent decision support system for electricity market players negotiations, enabling the experimentation of results using real electricity market data

Contextual Q-Learning

"How can Artificial Intelligence help a stateless minority from online abuse? Research efforts in hate speech detection thus far have largely focused on identifying and subsequently filtering out negative content that specifically targets them. In this paper, we highlight a recent work that tackles a different aspect of web-vulnerability of marginalized communities: sparsity of pro-minority voices championing their cause. The highlighted paper advocates that blocking hate alone may not be sufficient in these cases as the internet shapes community perception to a great extent in modern times and supportive comments to a vulnerable community serve
 a different purpose. Using an Active Sampling approach, the paper constructs a nuanced voice-for-the-voiceless classifier that automatically discovers comments supporting an (allegedly) persecuted minority. In the context of the Rohingya refugee crisis, one of the biggest humanitarian crises of modern times, the paper presents promising results that can substantially aid content moderation efforts in finding positive content supporting the Rohingyas."

The Refugee Experience Online: Surfacing Positivity Amidst Hate

Modelling a problem as finding a shortest path in a graph has been successful in many AI problems. However, the classical shortest path framework might not be suitable for domains such as planning a career pathway optimized to the skills needed along the way. To address this gap, we introduce graphs with item sets, where each node has a set of items from a finite, global set. We define a cost function for paths in graphs with item sets and show that it lacks the prefix optimality property. We further define two decision problems inspired from career planning. We show that these are NP-complete, unlike the traditional shortest path problem, which is solved in polynomial time. Our study gives a theoretical understanding that could be used as a basis for designing efficient solving approaches to the problems studied.
