Improving Multi-agent Coordination by Learning to Estimate Contention

Boi Faltings, Panayiotis Danassis, Florian Wiedemair

We present a multi-agent learning algorithm, ALMA-Learning, for efficient and fair allocations in large-scale systems. We circumvent the traditional pitfalls of multi-agent learning (e.g., the moving target problem, the curse of dimensionality, or the need ...

Multi-Dimensional Explanation of Target Variables from Documents

Boi Faltings, Claudiu-Cristian Musat, Diego Matteo Antognini

Automated predictions require explanations to be interpretable by humans. Past work used attention and rationale mechanisms to find words that predict the target variable of a document. Often though, they result in a tradeoff between noisy explanations or ...

Addressing fairness in classification with a model-agnostic multi-objective algorithm

Boi Faltings, Claudiu-Cristian Musat, Diego Matteo Antognini

The goal of fairness in classification is to learn a classifier that does not discriminate against groups of individuals based on sensitive attributes, such as race and gender. One approach to designing fair algorithms is to use relaxations of fairness not ...

Rationalization through Concepts

Boi Faltings, Diego Matteo Antognini

Automated predictions require explanations to be interpretable by humans. One type of ex- planation is a rationale, i.e., a selection of in- put features such as relevant text snippets from which the model computes the outcome. How- ever, a single overall ...

Federated Generative Privacy

Boi Faltings, Aleksei Triastcyn

We propose FedGP, a framework for privacy-preserving data release in the federated learning setting. We use generative adversarial networks, generator components of which are trained by FedAvg algorithm, to draw private artificial data samples and empirica ...

HotelRec: a Novel Very Large-Scale Hotel Recommendation Dataset

Boi Faltings, Diego Matteo Antognini

Today, recommender systems are an inevitable part of everyone's daily digital routine and are present on most internet platforms. State-of-the-art deep learning-based models require a large number of data to achieve their best performance. Many datasets fu ...

Memory Augmented Neural Model for Incremental Session-based Recommendation

Boi Faltings, Fei Mi

Increasing concerns with privacy have stimulated interests in Session-based Recommendation (SR) using no personal data other than what is observed in the current browser session. Existing methods are evaluated in static settings which rarely occur in real- ...

GameWikiSum: a Novel Large Multi-Document Summarization Dataset

Boi Faltings, Diego Matteo Antognini

Today's research progress in the field of multi-document summarization is obstructed by the small number of available datasets. Since the acquisition of reference summaries is costly, existing datasets contain only hundreds of samples at most, resulting in ...

Continual Learning for Natural Language Generation in Task-oriented Dialog Systems

Boi Faltings, Fei Mi, Liangwei Chen, Mengjie Zhao

Natural language generation (NLG) is an essential component of task-oriented dialog systems. Despite the recent success of neural approaches for NLG, they are typically developed in an offline manner for particular domains. To better fit real-life applicat ...

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

Boi Faltings, Panayiotis Danassis

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 f ...

Mneme: A Mobile Distributed Ledger

Boi Faltings, Sujit Prakash Gujar, Dimitrios Chatzopoulos

Advances in mobile computing have paved the way for new types of distributed applications that can be executed solely by mobile devices on device-to-device (D2D) ecosystems (e.g., crowdsensing). More sophisticated applications, like cryptocurrencies, need ...

Personalized Peer Truth Serum for Eliciting Multi-Attribute Personal Data

Boi Faltings, Naman Goel

Several peer consistency mechanisms have been proposed to incentivize agents for honestly solving crowdsourcing tasks. These game-theoretic mechanisms evaluate the answers provided by an agent based on the correlation with answers provided by other agents ...

Anytime Heuristic for Weighted Matching Through Altruism-Inspired Behavior

Boi Faltings, Panayiotis Danassis, Aris Filos Ratsikas

We present a novel anytime heuristic (ALMA), inspired by the human principle of altruism, for solving the assignment problem. ALMA is decentralized, completely uncoupled, and requires no communication between the participants. We prove an upper bound on th ...
