With the fast-growing GUI development workload in the Internet industry, some work on intelligent methods attempted to generate maintainable front-end code from UI screenshots. It can be more suitable for utilizing UI design drafts that contain UI metadata. However, fragmented layers inevitably appear in the UI design drafts which greatly reduces the quality of code generation. None of the existing GUI automated techniques detects and merges the fragmented layers to improve the accessibility of generated code. In this paper, we propose UI Layers Merger (UILM), a vision-based method, which can automatically detect and merge fragmented layers into UI components. Our UILM contains Merging Area Detector (MAD) and a layers merging algorithm. MAD incorporates the boundary prior knowledge to accurately detect the boundaries of UI components. Then, the layers merging algorithm can search out the associated layers within the components' boundaries and merge them into a whole part. We present a dynamic data augmentation approach to boost the performance of MAD. We also construct a large-scale UI dataset for training the MAD and testing the performance of UILM. The experiment shows that the proposed method outperforms the best baseline regarding merging area detection and achieves a decent accuracy regarding layers merging.

Inductive link prediction (ILP) is to predict links for unseen entities in emerging knowledge graphs (KGs), considering the evolving nature of KGs. A more challenging scenario is that emerging KGs consist of only unseen entities, called as disconnected emerging KGs (DEKGs). Existing studies for DEKGs only focus on predicting enclosing links, i.e., predicting links inside the emerging KG. The bridging links, which carry the evolutionary information from the original KG to DEKG, have not been investigated by previous work so far. To fill in the gap, we propose a novel model entitled DEKG-ILP (Disconnected Emerging Knowledge Graph Oriented Inductive Link Prediction) that consists of the following two components. (1) The module CLRM (Contrastive Learning-based Relation-specific Feature Modeling) is developed to extract global relation-based semantic features that are shared between original KGs and DEKGs with a novel sampling strategy. (2) The module GSM (GNN-based Subgraph Modeling) is proposed to extract the local subgraph topological information around each link in KGs. The extensive experiments conducted on several benchmark datasets demonstrate that DEKG-ILP has obvious performance improvements compared with state-of-the-art methods for both enclosing and bridging link prediction. The source code is available online.

An international study led by Monash University has done what could be the world's first demonstration of an AI model that can predict the optimal anti-seizure medication for newly diagnosed epilepsy patients. The research team has trained a deep-learning prediction model using clinical information from around 1,800 patients in five health care centres in Australia, Malaysia, China and the United Kingdom. The model is designed by the Monash Medical AI Group and is trained using Monash's MASSIVE computing facility. Findings from the study, which was published in the journal JAMA Neurology, showed that the AI model has a "modest" 65% accuracy in predicting the best anti-seizure medication. The research team is still improving the model by employing more complex information.

In recent years, a growing body of work has emerged on how to learn machine learning models under fairness constraints, often expressed with respect to some sensitive attributes. In this work, we consider the setting in which an adversary has black-box access to a target model and show that information about this model's fairness can be exploited by the adversary to enhance his reconstruction of the sensitive attributes of the training data. More precisely, we propose a generic reconstruction correction method, which takes as input an initial guess made by the adversary and corrects it to comply with some user-defined constraints (such as the fairness information) while minimizing the changes in the adversary's guess. The proposed method is agnostic to the type of target model, the fairness-aware learning method as well as the auxiliary knowledge of the adversary. To assess the applicability of our approach, we have conducted a thorough experimental evaluation on two state-of-the-art fair learning methods, using four different fairness metrics with a wide range of tolerances and with three datasets of diverse sizes and sensitive attributes. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach to improve the reconstruction of the sensitive attributes of the training set.

This study presents our approach on the automatic Vietnamese image captioning for healthcare domain in text processing tasks of Vietnamese Language and Speech Processing (VLSP) Challenge 2021, as shown in Figure 1. In recent years, image captioning often employs a convolutional neural network-based architecture as an encoder and a long short-term memory (LSTM) as a decoder to generate sentences. These models perform remarkably well in different datasets. Our proposed model also has an encoder and a decoder, but we instead use a Swin Transformer in the encoder, and a LSTM combined with an attention module in the decoder. The study presents our training experiments and techniques used during the competition. Our model achieves a BLEU4 score of 0.293 on the vietCap4H dataset, and the score is ranked the 3$^{rd}$ place on the private leaderboard. Our code can be found at \url{https://git.io/JDdJm}.

Supply Chain Platforms (SCPs) provide downstream industries with numerous raw materials. Compared with traditional e-commerce platforms, data in SCPs is more sparse due to limited user interests. To tackle the data sparsity problem, one can apply Cross-Domain Recommendation (CDR) which improves the recommendation performance of the target domain with the source domain information. However, applying CDR to SCPs directly ignores the hierarchical structure of commodities in SCPs, which reduce the recommendation performance. To leverage this feature, in this paper, we take the catering platform as an example and propose GReS, a graphical cross-domain recommendation model. The model first constructs a tree-shaped graph to represent the hierarchy of different nodes of dishes and ingredients, and then applies our proposed Tree2vec method combining GCN and BERT models to embed the graph for recommendations. Experimental results on a commercial dataset show that GReS significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods in Cross-Domain Recommendation for Supply Chain Platforms.

Classifications organize entities into categories that identify similarities within a category and discern dissimilarities among categories, and they powerfully classify information in support of analysis. We propose a new classification scheme premised on the reality of imperfect data. Our computational model uses uncertain data envelopment analysis to define a classification's proximity to equitable efficiency, which is an aggregate measure of intra-similarity within a classification's categories. Our classification process has two overriding computational challenges, those being a loss of convexity and a combinatorially explosive search space. We overcome the first by establishing lower and upper bounds on the proximity value, and then by searching this range with a first-order algorithm. We overcome the second by adapting the p-median problem to initiate our exploration, and by then employing an iterative neighborhood search to finalize a classification. We conclude by classifying the thirty stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial average into performant tiers and by classifying prostate treatments into clinically effectual categories.

Databases covering all individuals of a population are increasingly used for research and decision-making. The massive size of such databases is often mistaken as a guarantee for valid inferences. However, population data have characteristics that make them challenging to use. Various assumptions on population coverage and data quality are commonly made, including how such data were captured and what types of processing have been applied to them. Furthermore, the full potential of population data can often only be unlocked when such data are linked to other databases. Record linkage often implies subtle technical problems, which are easily missed. We discuss a diverse range of misconceptions relevant for anybody capturing, processing, linking, or analysing population data. Remarkably many of these misconceptions are due to the social nature of data collections and are therefore missed by purely technical accounts of data processing. Many of these misconceptions are also not well documented in scientific publications. We conclude with a set of recommendations for using population data.
