Advances in Automatically Rating the Trustworthiness of Text Processing Services

no code implementations4 Feb 2023 Biplav Srivastava, Kausik Lakkaraju, Mariana Bernagozzi, Marco Valtorta

Then, we will outline challenges and vision for a principled, multi-modal, causality-based rating methodologies and its implication for decision-support in real-world scenarios like health and food recommendation.

Rating Sentiment Analysis Systems for Bias through a Causal Lens

no code implementations4 Feb 2023 Kausik Lakkaraju, Biplav Srivastava, Marco Valtorta

Sentiment Analysis Systems (SASs) are data-driven Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems that, given a piece of text, assign one or more numbers conveying the polarity and emotional intensity expressed in the input.

Learning LWF Chain Graphs: A Markov Blanket Discovery Approach

1 code implementation29 May 2020 Mohammad Ali Javidian, Marco Valtorta, Pooyan Jamshidi

We provide a novel scalable and sound algorithm for Markov blanket discovery in LWF CGs and prove that the Grow-Shrink algorithm, the IAMB algorithm, and its variants are still correct for Markov blanket discovery in LWF CGs under the same assumptions as for Bayesian networks.

Learning LWF Chain Graphs: an Order Independent Algorithm

1 code implementation27 May 2020 Mohammad Ali Javidian, Marco Valtorta, Pooyan Jamshidi

We present a PC-like algorithm that finds the structure of chain graphs under the faithfulness assumption to resolve the problem of scalability of the proposed algorithm by Studeny (1997).

AMP Chain Graphs: Minimal Separators and Structure Learning Algorithms

1 code implementation24 Feb 2020 Mohammad Ali Javidian, Marco Valtorta, Pooyan Jamshidi

To address the problem of learning the structure of AMP CGs from data, we show that the PC-like algorithm (Pena, 2012) is order-dependent, in the sense that the output can depend on the order in which the variables are given.

Order-Independent Structure Learning of Multivariate Regression Chain Graphs

1 code implementation1 Oct 2019 Mohammad Ali Javidian, Marco Valtorta, Pooyan Jamshidi

We consider the PC-like algorithm for structure learning of MVR CGs, which is a constraint-based method proposed by Sonntag and Pe\~{n}a in [18].

Transfer Learning for Performance Modeling of Configurable Systems: A Causal Analysis

1 code implementation26 Feb 2019 Mohammad Ali Javidian, Pooyan Jamshidi, Marco Valtorta

We expect that the ability to carry over causal relations will enable effective performance analysis of highly-configurable systems.

On a hypergraph probabilistic graphical model

no code implementations20 Nov 2018 Mohammad Ali Javidian, Linyuan Lu, Marco Valtorta, Zhiyu Wang

We propose a directed acyclic hypergraph framework for a probabilistic graphical model that we call Bayesian hypergraphs.

Comment on: Decomposition of structural learning about directed acyclic graphs [1]

no code implementations27 Jun 2018 Mohammad Ali Javidian, Marco Valtorta

We propose an alternative proof concerning necessary and sufficient conditions to split the problem of searching for d-separators and building the skeleton of a DAG into small problems for every node of a separation tree T. The proof is simpler than the original [1].

A Proof of the Front-Door Adjustment Formula

We provide a proof of the the Front-Door adjustment formula using the do-calculus.

A New Result on the Complexity of Heuristic Estimates for the A* Algorithm

no code implementations16 Mar 2018 Othar Hansson, Andrew Mayer, Marco Valtorta

In this paper, we review the traditional definition of problem relaxation and show that searching in the abstraction hierarchy created by problem relaxation will not reduce the computational effort required to find optimal solutions to the base- level problem, unless the relaxed problem found in the hierarchy can be transformed by some optimization (e. g., subproblem factoring).

On the Properties of MVR Chain Graphs

no code implementations9 Mar 2018 Mohammad Ali Javidian, Marco Valtorta

Except for pairwise Markov properties, we show that for MVR chain graphs all Markov properties in the literature are equivalent for semi-graphoids.
