Causal Investigation of Public Opinion during the COVID-19 Pandemic via Social Media Text

no code implementations LREC 2022 Michael Jantscher, Roman Kern

Understanding the needs and fears of citizens, especially during a pandemic such as COVID-19, is essential for any government or legislative entity.

Recommendation Fairness in Social Networks Over Time

no code implementations5 Feb 2024 Meng Cao, Hussain Hussain, Sandipan Sikdar, Denis Helic, Markus Strohmaier, Roman Kern

We further study how interventions on network properties influence fairness by examining counterfactual scenarios with alternative evolution outcomes and differing network properties.

Recent Advances of Differential Privacy in Centralized Deep Learning: A Systematic Survey

no code implementations28 Sep 2023 Lea Demelius, Roman Kern, Andreas Trügler

Differential Privacy has become a widely popular method for data protection in machine learning, especially since it allows formulating strict mathematical privacy guarantees.

Cluster Purging: Efficient Outlier Detection based on Rate-Distortion Theory

no code implementations22 Feb 2023 Maximilian B. Toller, Bernhard C. Geiger, Roman Kern

Rate-distortion theory-based outlier detection builds upon the rationale that a good data compression will encode outliers with unique symbols.

Adversarial Inter-Group Link Injection Degrades the Fairness of Graph Neural Networks

1 code implementation13 Sep 2022 Hussain Hussain, Meng Cao, Sandipan Sikdar, Denis Helic, Elisabeth Lex, Markus Strohmaier, Roman Kern

We hope our findings raise awareness about this issue in our community and lay a foundation for the future development of GNN models that are more robust to such attacks.

How to keep text private? A systematic review of deep learning methods for privacy-preserving natural language processing

no code implementations20 May 2022 Samuel Sousa, Roman Kern

Deep learning (DL) models for natural language processing (NLP) tasks often handle private data, demanding protection against breaches and disclosures.

State-Space Constraints Improve the Generalization of the Differentiable Neural Computer in some Algorithmic Tasks

no code implementations18 Oct 2021 Patrick Ofner, Roman Kern

We show that both approaches can improve the generalization capability of a particular type of MANN, the differentiable neural computer (DNC), and compare our approaches to a stateful and a stateless controller on a set of algorithmic tasks.

Structack: Structure-based Adversarial Attacks on Graph Neural Networks

1 code implementation23 Jul 2021 Hussain Hussain, Tomislav Duricic, Elisabeth Lex, Denis Helic, Markus Strohmaier, Roman Kern

In this work, we study adversarial attacks that are uninformed, where an attacker only has access to the graph structure, but no information about node attributes.

Towards a General Framework to Embed Advanced Machine Learning in Process Control Systems

no code implementations24 Mar 2021 Stefan Schrunner, Michael Scheiber, Anna Jenul, Anja Zernig, Andre Kästner, Roman Kern

Since high data volume and complex data formats delivered in modern high-end production environments go beyond the scope of classical process control systems, more advanced tools involving machine learning are required to reliably recognize failure patterns.

Deep Learning -- A first Meta-Survey of selected Reviews across Scientific Disciplines, their Commonalities, Challenges and Research Impact

no code implementations16 Nov 2020 Jan Egger, Antonio Pepe, Christina Gsaxner, Yuan Jin, Jianning Li, Roman Kern

These networks outperform the state-of-the-art methods in different tasks and, because of this, the whole field saw an exponential growth during the last years.

On the Impact of Communities on Semi-supervised Classification Using Graph Neural Networks

1 code implementation30 Oct 2020 Hussain Hussain, Tomislav Duricic, Elisabeth Lex, Roman Kern, Denis Helic

In this work, we systematically study the impact of community structure on the performance of GNNs in semi-supervised node classification on graphs.

Robust Parameter-Free Season Length Detection in Time Series

1 code implementation14 Nov 2019 Maximilian Toller, Roman Kern

Many of the methods for identifying periodic patterns require time series' season length as input parameter.

Using the Open Meta Kaggle Dataset to Evaluate Tripartite Recommendations in Data Markets

no code implementations12 Aug 2019 Dominik Kowald, Matthias Traub, Dieter Theiler, Heimo Gursch, Emanuel Lacic, Stefanie Lindstaedt, Roman Kern, Elisabeth Lex

The presented work contributes to the tripartite recommendation problem in general and to the under-researched portfolio of evaluating recommender systems for data markets in particular.

Know-Center at SemEval-2017 Task 10: Sequence Classification with the CODE Annotator

no code implementations SEMEVAL 2017 Roman Kern, Stefan Falk, Andi Rexha

We competed in Subtask 1 and 2 which consist respectively in identifying all the key phrases in scientific publications and label them with one of the three categories: Task, Process, and Material.
