The Facets of Intangible Heritage in Southern Chinese Martial Arts: Applying a Knowledge-Driven Cultural Contact Detection Approach

Investigating the intangible nature of a cultural domain can take multiple forms, addressing for example the aesthetic, epistemic and social dimensions of its phenomenology. The context of Southern Chinese martial arts is of particular significance as it c ...

Analytical Engines With Context-Rich Processing: Towards Efficient Next-Generation Analytics

Anastasia Ailamaki, Viktor Sanca

As modern data pipelines continue to collect, produce, and store a variety of data formats, extracting and combining value from traditional and context-rich sources such as strings, text, video, audio, and logs becomes a manual process where such formats a ...

GenIE: Generative Information Extraction

Robert West, Maxime Jean Julien Peyrard, Martin Josifoski

Structured and grounded representation of text is typically formalized by closed information extraction, the problem of extracting an exhaustive set of (subject, relation, object) triplets that are consistent with a predefined set of entities and relations ...

Conversational Multi-Hop Reasoning with Neural Commonsense Knowledge and Symbolic Logic Rules

Antoine Bosselut

One of the challenges faced by conversational agents is their inability to identify unstated presumptions of their users' commands, a task trivial for humans due to their common sense. In this paper, we propose a zeroshot commonsense reasoning system for c ...

Efficient Text-based Reinforcement Learning by Jointly Leveraging State and Commonsense Graph Representations

Mattia Atzeni

Text-based games (TBGs) have emerged as useful benchmarks for evaluating progress at the intersection of grounded language understanding and reinforcement learning (RL). Recent work has proposed the use of external knowledge to improve the efficiency of RL ...

Crosslingual Topic Modeling with WikiPDA

Robert West, Tiziano Piccardi

We present Wikipedia-based Polyglot Dirichlet Allocation (WikiPDA), a crosslingual topic model that learns to represent Wikipedia articles written in any language as distributions over a common set of language-independent topics. It leverages the fact that ...

Approaching Ontology Alignment through Representation Learning to Bridge the Semantic Gap in Engineering Applications

Prodromos Kolyvakis

The current information landscape is characterised by a vast amount of relatively semantically homogeneous, when observed in isolation, data silos that are, however, drastically semantically fragmented when considered as a whole. Within each data silo, inf ...

Broadening artificial intelligence education in K-12: Where to Start?

Pierre Dillenbourg

Moving from steam and waterpower, electricity and assembly lines, and computerization, to the adoption of cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things and the Internet of Systems executed as intelligent machines, the world now dives into a new era called ...

Oxidation Processes in Water Treatment: Are We on Track?

Urs von Gunten

Chemical oxidants have been applied in water treatment for more than a century, first as disinfectants and later to abate inorganic and organic contaminants. The challenge of oxidative abatement of organic micropollutants is the formation of transformation ...

Building a Question-Answering Chatbot using Forum Data in the Semantic Space

Pierre Dillenbourg, Marc Laperrouza, Khalil Mrini

We build a conversational agent which knowledge base is an online forum for parents of autistic children. We collect about 35,000 threads totalling some 600,000 replies, and label 1% of them for usefulness using Amazon Mechanical Turk. We train a Random Fo ...

Using Linked Open Data to Bootstrap a Knowledge Base of Classical Texts

Matteo Romanello

We describe a domain-specific knowledge base aimed at supporting the extraction of bibliographic references in the domain of Classics. In particular, we deal with references to canonical works of the Greek and Latin literature by providing a model that rep ...

Event-driven Human Based Evolutionary Knowledge Base for Smart Buildings

Maher Kayal, Nastaran Asadi Zanjani

This paper presents an approach to automatically create a knowledge base for smart buildings and let it dynamically evolve based on the behaviors of the occupants inside. Such a knowledge base compromises all life-style experiences and intelligent building ...

Circulation of Opinions in Visualization Reading

Dario Rodighiero

Visualizations need interpretation as a way to grasp the meaning of visual representation. They are complex, and often the process of creation is hidden to the public. Because of this, the following text illustrates a way to read the visual representation ...
