A Dataset Independent Set of Baselines for Relation Prediction in Argument Mining
Cocarascu, Oana, Cabrio, Elena, Villata, Serena, Toni, Francesca
Argument Mining is the research area which aims at extracting argument components and predicting argumentative relations (i.e., support and attack) from text. In particular, numerous approaches have been proposed in the literature to predict the relations holding between the arguments, and application-specific annotated resources were built for this purpose. Despite the fact that these resources have been created to experiment on the same task, the definition of a single relation prediction method to be successfully applied to a significant portion of these datasets is an open research problem in Argument Mining. This means that none of the methods proposed in the literature can be easily ported from one resource to another. In this paper, we address this problem by proposing a set of dataset independent strong neural baselines which obtain homogeneous results on all the datasets proposed in the literature for the argumentative relation prediction task. Thus, our baselines can be employed by the Argument Mining community to compare more effectively how well a method performs on the argumentative relation prediction task.
The 2020 Top Retention Leaders - Workforce Logiq
The Workforce Logiq WORKING BEST AWARD โ EMPLOYEE RETENTION LEADER is based on our proprietary Talent Retention Risk (TRR) ScoreSM. TRRSM Scores use multiple AI techniques and patent-pending models to calculate industry, company, and candidate-specific benchmarks to predict how various factors contribute to employment stability and volatility, critical factors in determining retention statistics. TRR Scores are used to predict how likely an organization's professional and knowledge worker candidates are to be interested in exploring external job opportunities โ and be open to unsolicited recruiting messages. A recent article in Harvard Business Review, Better Ways to Predict Who's Going to Quit, validated that candidates with scores indicating a high likelihood of receptivity to external job opportunities were twice as open to unsolicited recruitment messages and 63% more likely to change jobs, as compared to those who were predicted "unlikely" to be receptive. TRR scores are calculated and updated daily for over 6 million organizations in Workforce Logiq's proprietary database.
Artificial intelligence: Tackling the risks for consumers
Artificial intelligence and automated decision making processes can pose certain threats to consumers. Find out how the European Parliament wants to protect them. What is artificial intelligence and why can it be dangerous? As learning algorithms can process data sets with precision and speed beyond human capacity, artificial intelligence (AI) applications have become increasingly common in finance, healthcare, education, the legal system and beyond. However, reliance on AI also carries risks, especially where decisions are made without human oversight.
An Emerging Model for Ethical AI: Jessica Fjeld - Workflow
Businesses and governments around the world face a complex challenge: How should they implement artificial intelligence (AI) in ways that respect human rights, avoid bias, incorporate diverse perspectives, and yield safe, socially beneficial products? In recent years, numerous AI "principles documents" have emerged from governments, private companies, and advocacy groups. Researchers at Harvard's Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society studied 36 of these documents. They found significant consensus around core issues such as privacy, transparency, and bias. In January they published their findings in a white paper and in a graphic model of ethical AI principles.
Artificial intelligence: MEPs want to ensure a fair and safe use for consumers News European Parliament
The resolution addresses several challenges arising from the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) and automated decision-making (ADM) technologies, with a special focus on consumer protection. Parliament welcomes the potential of ADM to deliver innovative and improved services to consumers, including new digital services such as virtual assistants and chatbots. However, when interacting with a system that automates decision-making, one should be "properly informed about how it functions, about how to reach a human with decision-making powers, and about how the system's decisions can be checked and corrected", it adds. Those systems should only use high-quality and unbiased data sets and "explainable and unbiased algorithms", states the resolution. Review structures should be set up to remedy possible mistakes in automated decisions.
What's In the Box? AI Will Need to Explain its Decisions Before We Can Trust It.
Early last December I found myself back in the job market searching for some temporary seasonal work during the Christmas break from university. My requirements for the role were not demanding: start time preferably post 8 a.m. Other than that I was game for anything. I responded to an online posting for an entry-level retail assistant position in a prominent high street fashion retailer. Without any unreasonable or immodest expectations about getting called for an interview, I began the application process in good faith.
EU backs away from proposed five-year facial recognition ban
The European Union won't issue a ban on facial recognition tech, as it once proposed, the Financial Times reports. In a previous draft of a paper on artificial intelligence, the European Commission suggested a five-year moratorium on facial recognition, so that the technology's impact could be studied, noting that it can be inaccurate, used to breach privacy laws and facilitate identity fraud. In a new draft, seen by the Financial Times, that moratorium has been removed. Instead, it seems the European Commission will encourage individual member states to set their own facial recognition rules. The latest draft suggests that independent groups assess each proposed public use of the technology.
