Improving Peer Assessment with Graph Convolutional Networks

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Peer assessment systems are emerging in many social and multi-agent settings, such as peer grading in large (online) classes, peer review in conferences, peer art evaluation, etc. However, peer assessments might not be as accurate as expert evaluations, thus rendering these systems unreliable. The reliability of peer assessment systems is influenced by various factors such as assessment ability of peers, their strategic assessment behaviors, and the peer assessment setup (e.g., peer evaluating group work or individual work of others). In this work, we first model peer assessment as multi-relational weighted networks that can express a variety of peer assessment setups, plus capture conflicts of interest and strategic behaviors. Leveraging our peer assessment network model, we introduce a graph convolutional network which can learn assessment patterns and user behaviors to more accurately predict expert evaluations. Our extensive experiments on real and synthetic datasets demonstrate the efficacy of our proposed approach, which outperforms existing peer assessment methods.


Predicting the future of the Earth with artificial intelligence

#artificialintelligence

Computer simulations that scientists use to understand the evolution of the Earth's climate offer a wealth of information to public officials and corporations planning for the future. However, climate models -- no matter how complex or computationally intensive -- do contain some degree of uncertainty. Addressing this uncertainty is proving increasingly important as decision makers are asking more complex questions and looking to smaller scales. To improve climate simulations, scientists are looking to the potential of artificial intelligence (AI). AI has offered profound insights in fields from materials science to manufacturing, and climate researchers are excited to explore how AI can be used to revolutionize how the Earth system, and especially its water cycle, can be simulated in order to dramatically improve our understanding and representation of the real world.


3 Questions: Blending computing with other disciplines at MIT

#artificialintelligence

The demand for computing-related training is at an all-time high. At MIT, there has been a remarkable tide of interest in computer science programs, with heavy enrollment from students studying everything from economics to life sciences eager to learn how computational techniques and methodologies can be used and applied within their primary field. Launched in 2020, the Common Ground for Computing Education was created through the MIT Stephen A. Schwarzman College of Computing to meet the growing need for enhanced curricula that connect computer science and artificial intelligence with different domains. In order to advance this mission, the Common Ground is bringing experts across MIT together and facilitating collaborations among multiple departments to develop new classes and approaches that blend computing topics with other disciplines. Dan Huttenlocher, dean of the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing, and the chairs of the Common Ground Standing Committee -- Jeff Grossman, head of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and the Morton and Claire Goulder and Family Professor of Environmental Systems; and Asu Ozdaglar, deputy dean of academics for the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing, head of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and the MathWorks Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science -- discuss here the objectives of the Common Ground, pilot subjects that are underway, and ways they're engaging faculty to create new curricula for MIT's class of "computing bilinguals."


We are delighted to announce the launch of Scicomm – a joint science communication project from Robohub and AIhub

Robohub

Scicomm.io is a science communication project which aims to empower people to share stories about their robotics and AI work. The project is a joint effort from Robohub and AIhub, both of which are educational platforms dedicated to connecting the robotics and AI communities to the rest of the world. This project focuses on training the next generation of communicators in robotics and AI to build a strong connection with the outside world, by providing effective communication tools. People working in the field are developing an enormous array of systems and technologies. However, due to a relative lack of high quality, impartial information in the mainstream media, the general public receive a lot hyped news which ends up causing fear and / or unrealistic expectations surrounding these technologies.


Improve Score on Kaggle's Titanic Competition

#artificialintelligence

I am preparing my very first Kaggle submission, which will be for the Titanic competition, and was wondering what a respectable or even good score would be? This course is designed to teach the student advanced classification techniques that will enable him to enter Kaggle's Titanic competition and achieve an improved score by using standard machine learning methods. After the student is introduced to the course, he will receive an introduction to Python's machine learning library, sklearn. The student will also be introduced to the website, OpenML, which is a repository of a multitude of datasets. The Titanic dataset in the OpenML website is used in the lessons in this course all the way up to the point that the student is invited to enter the Kaggle Titanic competition and employ all of the advanced classification techniques that he has learned in the course.

MBZUAI welcomes business leaders to first artificial intelligence course

#artificialintelligence

Abu Dhabi's artificial intelligence university welcomed 42 business and government leaders into its new executive programme on Sunday, as the UAE aims to be at the forefront of AI development. The 12-week programme at Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) aims to offer practical training on AI and build connections between the public and private sectors and the scientific community. Instructors have been brought from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, the University of Oxford and Carnegie Mellon University to teach course content. "AI is proving to be the single most important economic accelerator of our time and it is central to the UAE's national and economic growth agenda," Dr Sultan Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, managing director and group chief executive of Adnoc and chairman of the MBZUAI Board of Trustees, said at the opening ceremony. "The MBZUAI Executive Programme was designed to take the latest AI methodologies from the classroom to the workplace, where they can make a practical difference. This is a real-world, tailored programme that focuses on tangible results."
