From Shallow to Deep Interactions Between Knowledge Representation, Reasoning and Machine Learning (Kay R. Amel group)
Bouraoui, Zied, Cornuéjols, Antoine, Denœux, Thierry, Destercke, Sébastien, Dubois, Didier, Guillaume, Romain, Marques-Silva, João, Mengin, Jérôme, Prade, Henri, Schockaert, Steven, Serrurier, Mathieu, Vrain, Christel
This paper proposes a tentative and original survey of meeting points between Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KRR) and Machine Learning (ML), two areas which have been developing quite separately in the last three decades. Some common concerns are identified and discussed such as the types of used representation, the roles of knowledge and data, the lack or the excess of information, or the need for explanations and causal understanding. Then some methodologies combining reasoning and learning are reviewed (such as inductive logic programming, neuro-symbolic reasoning, formal concept analysis, rule-based representations and ML, uncertainty in ML, or case-based reasoning and analogical reasoning), before discussing examples of synergies between KRR and ML (including topics such as belief functions on regression, EM algorithm versus revision, the semantic description of vector representations, the combination of deep learning with high level inference, knowledge graph completion, declarative frameworks for data mining, or preferences and recommendation). This paper is the first step of a work in progress aiming at a better mutual understanding of research in KRR and ML, and how they could cooperate.
A Bayesian Approach to Rule Mining
González, Luis Ignacio Lopera, Derungs, Adrian, Amft, Oliver
In this paper, we introduce the increasing belief criterion in association rule mining. The criterion uses a recursive application of Bayes' theorem to compute a rule's belief. Extracted rules are required to have their belief increase with their last observation. We extend the taxonomy of association rule mining algorithms with a new branch for Bayesian rule mining~(BRM), which uses increasing belief as the rule selection criterion. In contrast, the well-established frequent association rule mining~(FRM) branch relies on the minimum-support concept to extract rules. We derive properties of the increasing belief criterion, such as the increasing belief boundary, no-prior-worries, and conjunctive premises. Subsequently, we implement a BRM algorithm using the increasing belief criterion, and illustrate its functionality in three experiments: (1)~a proof-of-concept to illustrate BRM properties, (2)~an analysis relating socioeconomic information and chemical exposure data, and (3)~mining behaviour routines in patients undergoing neurological rehabilitation. We illustrate how BRM is capable of extracting rare rules and does not suffer from support dilution. Furthermore, we show that BRM focuses on the individual event generating processes, while FRM focuses on their commonalities. We consider BRM's increasing belief as an alternative criterion to thresholds on rule support, as often applied in FRM, to determine rule usefulness.
Breakthrough Research In Reinforcement Learning From 2019
Reinforcement learning (RL) continues to be less valuable for business applications than supervised learning, and even unsupervised learning. It is successfully applied only in areas where huge amounts of simulated data can be generated, like robotics and games. However, many experts recognize RL as a promising path towards Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), or true intelligence. Thus, research teams from top institutions and tech leaders are seeking ways to make RL algorithms more sample-efficient and stable. We've selected and summarized 10 research papers that we think are representative of the latest research trends in reinforcement learning. The papers explore, among others, the interaction of multiple agents, off-policy learning, and more efficient exploration.
Call for Participation - Catch the Wave
You are invited to submit papers for the PEARC20 Conference – Catch the wave that will be held in Portland, July 26–30, 2020.

Proposals may take several forms as indicated below. Advanced research computing environments – systems and system software: Practice and experience relating to the system (computing hardware, storage hardware, visualization hardware, and network hardware) and system software that drives the "hardware" side of cyberinfrastructure and research computing environments. Examples of relevant topics: GPUs, CPUs, and FPGAs as computational environments; experience with advanced storage systems; hardware and systems for data-centric computing; networking challenges; design and use of visualization environments; funding and operating of advanced research computing facilities (including considerations of cost of locally-sited hardware vs remote hardware such as cloud facilities), systems procurement, systems administration, cybersecurity, practice and experience in facilitating the acquisition, operation, and use of advanced hardware, software, networks and services to securely and sustainably advance research, scholarship, and creativity; performance comparisons and performance aspects of cloud environments.
Facebook, Microsoft, and others launch Deepfake Detection Challenge
Deepfakes, or media that takes a person in an existing image, audio recording, or video and replaces them with someone else's likeness using AI algorithms, are multiplying quickly. Amsterdam-based cybersecurity startup Deeptrace found 14,698 deepfake videos on the internet during its most recent tally in June and July, up from 7,964 last December -- an 84% increase within only seven months. That's troublesome not only because deepfakes might be used to sway public opinion during, say, an election, or to implicate someone in a crime they didn't commit, but because the technology has already generated pornographic material and swindled firms out of hundreds of millions of dollars. In an effort to fight deepfakes' spread, Facebook -- along with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft, the Partnership on AI, Microsoft, and academics from Cornell Tech, MIT, University of Oxford, UC Berkeley; University of Maryland, College Park; and State University of New York at Albany -- are spearheading the Deepfake Detection Challenge, which was announced in September. It's launching globally at the NeurIPS 2019 conference in Vancouver this week, with the goal of catalyzing research to ensure the development of open source detection tools.
