Most prior work on generating this type of poetry uses existing poems for supervision, which are difficult to obtain for most languages and poetic forms. In this work, we propo…

Rethinking Evaluation Practices in Visual Question Answering: A Case Study on Out-of-Distribution Generalization
Aishwarya Agrawal, Ivana Kaji\'c, Emanuele Bugliarello, Elnaz Davoodi, Anita Gergely, Phil Blunsom, Aida NematzadehAbstractVision-and-language (V&L) models pretrained on large-scale multimodal data have demonstrated strong performance on various tasks such as image captioning and visual question answering (VQA). The quality of such models is common…

Xueying Bai, Jinghuan Shang, Yifan Sun, Niranjan BalasubramanianAbstractNLP models learn sentence representations for downstream tasks by tuning a model which is pre-trained by masked language modeling. However, after tuning, the learned sentence representations may be skewed heavily toward label space and thus are not expressive enough to represen…

Jiaqian Ren, Lei Jiang, Hao Peng, Zhiwei Liu, Jia Wu, Philip S. YuAbstractThe rising popularity of online social network services has attracted lots of research on mining social media data, especially on mining social events. Social event detection, due to its wide applications, has now become a trivial task. State-of-the-art approaches exploiting …

Do it Like the Doctor: How We Can Design a Model That Uses Domain Knowledge to Diagnose Pneumothorax
Glen Smith, Qiao Zhang, Christopher MacLellanAbstractComputer-aided diagnosis for medical imaging is a well-studied field that aims to provide real-time decision support systems for physicians. These systems attempt to detect and diagnose a plethora of medical conditions across a variety of image diagnostic technologies including ultrasound, x-ray,…

Weiming Zhuang, Xin Gan, Yonggang Wen, Shuai ZhangAbstractThe increasingly stringent data privacy regulations limit the development of person re-identification (ReID) because person ReID training requires centralizing an enormous amount of data that contains sensitive personal information. To address this problem, we introduce federated person re-i…

Hanxu Zhou, Qixuan Zhou, Zhenyuan Jin, Tao Luo, Yaoyu Zhang, Zhi-Qin John XuAbstractSubstantial work indicates that the dynamics of neural networks (NNs) is closely related to their initialization of parameters. Inspired by the phase diagram for two-layer ReLU NNs with infinite width (Luo et al., 2021), we make a step towards drawing a phase diagra…
Pablo Mosteiro and Jesse Kuiper and Judith Masthoff and Floortje Scheepers and Marco SpruitAbstractFairness and bias are crucial concepts in artificial intelligence, yet they are relatively ignored in machine learning applications in clinical psychiatry. We computed fairness metrics and present bias mitigation strategies using a model trained on cl…

Georgios Tziafas, Hamidreza KasaeiAbstractService robots should be able to interact naturally with non-expert human users, not only to help them in various tasks but also to receive guidance in order to resolve ambiguities that might be present in the instruction. We consider the task of visual grounding, where the agent segments an object from a c…

Jenny Yang, Rasheed El-Bouri, Odhran O'Donoghue, Alexander S. Lachapelle, Andrew A. S. Soltan, David A. CliftonAbstractWith the rapid growth of memory and computing power, datasets are becoming increasingly complex and imbalanced. This is especially severe in the context of clinical data, where there may be one rare event for many cases in the majo…

HCFRec: Hash Collaborative Filtering via Normalized Flow with Structural Consensus for Efficient Recommendation
Fan Wang, Weiming Liu, Chaochao Chen, Mengying Zhu, Xiaolin ZhengAbstractThe ever-increasing data scale of user-item interactions makes it challenging for an effective and efficient recommender system. Recently, hash-based collaborative filtering (Hash-CF) approaches employ efficient Hamming distance of learned binary representations of users and i…
