Learning Nonlinear Waves in Plasmon-induced Transparency
Cheng, Jiaxi, Cen, Zhenhao, Xu, Siliu
Plasmon-induced transparency (PIT) displays complex nonlinear dynamics that find critical phenomena in areas such as nonlinear waves. However, such a nonlinear solution depends sensitively on the selection of parameters and different potentials in the Schr\"odinger equation. Despite this complexity, the machine learning community has developed remarkable efficiencies in predicting complicated datasets by regression. Here, we consider a recurrent neural network (RNN) approach to predict the complex propagation of nonlinear solitons in plasmon-induced transparency metamaterial systems with applied potentials bypassing the need for analytical and numerical approaches of a guiding model. We demonstrate the success of this scheme on the prediction of the propagation of the nonlinear solitons solely from a given initial condition and potential. We prove the prominent agreement of results in simulation and prediction by long short-term memory (LSTM) artificial neural networks. The framework presented in this work opens up a new perspective for the application of RNN in quantum systems and nonlinear waves using Schr\"odinger-type equations, for example, the nonlinear dynamics in cold-atom systems and nonlinear fiber optics.
The Interview: Ryan Fairclough, Briefcam
JA: Would you agree that there are tens of millions of CCTV cameras around the world delivering practically no return on investment? RF: Certainly, I'm not sure you can go as far as to say they have no return on investment but certainly they aren't being utilised to their fullest. By complementing the initial surveillance system investment with comprehensive video analytics, you transform the massive amounts of video data that normally goes untouched, into valuable insights for safety, security and operational efficiency. JA: Is it fair to say that these cameras have considerable potential when it comes to automating searches, reporting events? The better we can extract and manage events and data from cameras the more we can start to have great effect on not only the traditional safety and security applications but also expand to operational decision making, customer experience and the overall optimization of a physical space.

Team Power and Hierarchy: Understanding Team Success
Xu, Huimin, Bu, Yi, Liu, Meijun, Zhang, Chenwei, Sun, Mengyi, Zhang, Yi, Meyer, Eric, Salas, Eduardo, Ding, Ying
Teamwork is cooperative, participative and power sharing. In science of science, few studies have looked at the impact of team collaboration from the perspective of team power and hierarchy. This research examines in depth the relationships between team power and team success in the field of Computer Science (CS) using the DBLP dataset. Team power and hierarchy are measured using academic age and team success is quantified by citation. By analyzing 4,106,995 CS teams, we find that high power teams with flat structure have the best performance. On the contrary, low-power teams with hierarchical structure is a facilitator of team performance. These results are consistent across different time periods and team sizes.
Spatial-Temporal Deep Intention Destination Networks for Online Travel Planning
Li, Yu, Xiong, Fei, Wang, Ziyi, Chen, Zulong, Xu, Chuanfei, Yin, Yuyu, Zhou, Li
Nowadays, artificial neural networks are widely used for users' online travel planning. Personalized travel planning has many real applications and is affected by various factors, such as transportation type, intention destination estimation, budget limit and crowdness prediction. Among those factors, users' intention destination prediction is an essential task in online travel platforms. The reason is that, the user may be interested in the travel plan only when the plan matches his real intention destination. Therefore, in this paper, we focus on predicting users' intention destinations in online travel platforms. In detail, we act as online travel platforms (such as Fliggy and Airbnb) to recommend travel plans for users, and the plan consists of various vacation items including hotel package, scenic packages and so on. Predicting the actual intention destination in travel planning is challenging. Firstly, users' intention destination is highly related to their travel status (e.g., planning for a trip or finishing a trip). Secondly, users' actions (e.g. clicking, searching) over different product types (e.g. train tickets, visa application) have different indications in destination prediction. Thirdly, users may mostly visit the travel platforms just before public holidays, and thus user behaviors in online travel platforms are more sparse, low-frequency and long-period. Therefore, we propose a Deep Multi-Sequences fused neural Networks (DMSN) to predict intention destinations from fused multi-behavior sequences. Real datasets are used to evaluate the performance of our proposed DMSN models. Experimental results indicate that the proposed DMSN models can achieve high intention destination prediction accuracy.
A Neural Approach for Detecting Morphological Analogies
Alsaidi, Safa, Decker, Amandine, Lay, Puthineath, Marquer, Esteban, Murena, Pierre-Alexandre, Couceiro, Miguel
Analogical proportions are statements of the form "A is to B as C is to D" that are used for several reasoning and classification tasks in artificial intelligence and natural language processing (NLP). For instance, there are analogy based approaches to semantics as well as to morphology. In fact, symbolic approaches were developed to solve or to detect analogies between character strings, e.g., the axiomatic approach as well as that based on Kolmogorov complexity. In this paper, we propose a deep learning approach to detect morphological analogies, for instance, with reinflexion or conjugation. We present empirical results that show that our framework is competitive with the above-mentioned state of the art symbolic approaches. We also explore empirically its transferability capacity across languages, which highlights interesting similarities between them.
Encoding Heterogeneous Social and Political Context for Entity Stance Prediction
Feng, Shangbin, Chen, Zilong, Yu, Peisheng, Luo, Minnan
Political stance detection has become an important task due to the increasingly polarized political ideologies. Most existing works focus on identifying perspectives in news articles or social media posts, while social entities, such as individuals and organizations, produce these texts and actually take stances. In this paper, we propose the novel task of entity stance prediction, which aims to predict entities' stances given their social and political context. Specifically, we retrieve facts from Wikipedia about social entities regarding contemporary U.S. politics. We then annotate social entities' stances towards political ideologies with the help of domain experts. After defining the task of entity stance prediction, we propose a graph-based solution, which constructs a heterogeneous information network from collected facts and adopts gated relational graph convolutional networks for representation learning. Our model is then trained with a combination of supervised, self-supervised and unsupervised loss functions, which are motivated by multiple social and political phenomenons. We conduct extensive experiments to compare our method with existing text and graph analysis baselines. Our model achieves highest stance detection accuracy and yields inspiring insights regarding social entity stances. We further conduct ablation study and parameter analysis to study the mechanism and effectiveness of our proposed approach.
Knowledge Graph Augmented Political Perspective Detection in News Media
Feng, Shangbin, Chen, Zilong, Li, Qingyao, Luo, Minnan
Identifying political perspective in news media has become an important task due to the rapid growth of political commentary and the increasingly polarized ideologies. Previous approaches only focus on leveraging the semantic information and leaves out the rich social and political context that helps individuals understand political stances. In this paper, we propose a perspective detection method that incorporates external knowledge of real-world politics. Specifically, we construct a contemporary political knowledge graph with 1,071 entities and 10,703 triples. We then build a heterogeneous information network for each news document that jointly models article semantics and external knowledge in knowledge graphs. Finally, we apply gated relational graph convolutional networks and conduct political perspective detection as graph-level classification. Extensive experiments show that our method achieves the best performance and outperforms state-of-the-art methods by 5.49\%. Numerous ablation studies further bear out the necessity of external knowledge and the effectiveness of our graph-based approach.
A Machine learning approach for rapid disaster response based on multi-modal data. The case of housing & shelter needs
Ochoa, Karla Saldana, Comes, Tina
Along with climate change, more frequent extreme events, such as flooding and tropical cyclones, threaten the livelihoods and wellbeing of poor and vulnerable populations. One of the most immediate needs of people affected by a disaster is finding shelter. While the proliferation of data on disasters is already helping to save lives, identifying damages in buildings, assessing shelter needs, and finding appropriate places to establish emergency shelters or settlements require a wide range of data to be combined rapidly. To address this gap and make a headway in comprehensive assessments, this paper proposes a machine learning workflow that aims to fuse and rapidly analyse multimodal data. This workflow is built around open and online data to ensure scalability and broad accessibility. Based on a database of 19 characteristics for more than 200 disasters worldwide, a fusion approach at the decision level was used. This technique allows the collected multimodal data to share a common semantic space that facilitates the prediction of individual variables. Each fused numerical vector was fed into an unsupervised clustering algorithm called Self-Organizing-Maps (SOM). The trained SOM serves as a predictor for future cases, allowing predicting consequences such as total deaths, total people affected, and total damage, and provides specific recommendations for assessments in the shelter and housing sector. To achieve such prediction, a satellite image from before the disaster and the geographic and demographic conditions are shown to the trained model, which achieved a prediction accuracy of 62 %
Don't Take It Literally: An Edit-Invariant Sequence Loss for Text Generation
Liu, Guangyi, Yang, Zichao, Tao, Tianhua, Liang, Xiaodan, Li, Zhen, Zhou, Bowen, Cui, Shuguang, Hu, Zhiting
Neural text generation models are typically trained by maximizing log-likelihood with the sequence cross entropy loss, which encourages an exact token-by-token match between a target sequence with a generated sequence. Such training objective is sub-optimal when the target sequence not perfect, e.g., when the target sequence is corrupted with noises, or when only weak sequence supervision is available. To address this challenge, we propose a novel Edit-Invariant Sequence Loss (EISL), which computes the matching loss of a target n-gram with all n-grams in the generated sequence. EISL draws inspirations from convolutional networks (ConvNets) which are shift-invariant to images, hence is robust to the shift of n-grams to tolerate edits in the target sequences. Moreover, the computation of EISL is essentially a convolution operation with target n-grams as kernels, which is easy to implement with existing libraries. To demonstrate the effectiveness of EISL, we conduct experiments on three tasks: machine translation with noisy target sequences, unsupervised text style transfer, and non-autoregressive machine translation. Experimental results show our method significantly outperforms cross entropy loss on these three tasks.
