Intelligent Traffic Monitoring with Hybrid AI

no code implementations31 Aug 2022 Ehsan Qasemi, Alessandro Oltramari

Challenges in Intelligent Traffic Monitoring (ITMo) are exacerbated by the large quantity and modalities of data and the need for the utilization of state-of-the-art (SOTA) reasoners.

Coalescing Global and Local Information for Procedural Text Understanding

1 code implementation COLING 2022 Kaixin Ma, Filip Ilievski, Jonathan Francis, Eric Nyberg, Alessandro Oltramari

In this paper, we propose Coalescing Global and Local Information (CGLI), a new model that builds entity- and timestep-aware input representations (local input) considering the whole context (global input), and we jointly model the entity states with a structured prediction objective (global output).

Dimensions of Commonsense Knowledge

no code implementations12 Jan 2021 Filip Ilievski, Alessandro Oltramari, Kaixin Ma, Bin Zhang, Deborah L. McGuinness, Pedro Szekely

Recently, the focus has been on large text-based sources, which facilitate easier integration with neural (language) models and application to textual tasks, typically at the expense of the semantics of the sources and their harmonization.

Knowledge-driven Data Construction for Zero-shot Evaluation in Commonsense Question Answering

1 code implementation7 Nov 2020 Kaixin Ma, Filip Ilievski, Jonathan Francis, Yonatan Bisk, Eric Nyberg, Alessandro Oltramari

Guided by a set of hypotheses, the framework studies how to transform various pre-existing knowledge resources into a form that is most effective for pre-training models.

Neuro-symbolic Architectures for Context Understanding

no code implementations9 Mar 2020 Alessandro Oltramari, Jonathan Francis, Cory Henson, Kaixin Ma, Ruwan Wickramarachchi

Computational context understanding refers to an agent's ability to fuse disparate sources of information for decision-making and is, therefore, generally regarded as a prerequisite for sophisticated machine reasoning capabilities, such as in artificial intelligence (AI).

Towards Generalizable Neuro-Symbolic Systems for Commonsense Question Answering

no code implementations WS 2019 Kaixin Ma, Jonathan Francis, Quanyang Lu, Eric Nyberg, Alessandro Oltramari

Non-extractive commonsense QA remains a challenging AI task, as it requires systems to reason about, synthesize, and gather disparate pieces of information, in order to generate responses to queries.
