Discourse & Dialogue
La veille de la cybersécurité
For too many organizations, the intertwined technologies of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have been long on promise but short on delivery. Increasingly, however, the fault lies not in these advanced technologies themselves, but in the challenges associated with deploying them easily and effectively to support everyday business processes. True, some AI proponents did over-promise on the field's capabilities and timetable in past decades. But a number of AI disciplines – everything from natural language processing to computer vision – have become incredibly sophisticated and powerful in recent years. AI technologies, in turn, are now powering object recognition, language translation, sentiment analysis, and a host of other use cases.

This is a hands on project where I will teach you the step by step process in creating and evaluating a machine learning model and finally deploying the same on Cloud platforms to let your customers interact with your model via an user interface. This course will walk you through the initial data exploration and understanding, data analysis, data pre-processing, data preparation, model building, evaluation and deployment techniques. We will explore NLP concepts and then use multiple ML algorithms to create our model and finally focus into one which performs the best on the given dataset. At the end we will learn to create an User Interface to interact with our created model and finally deploy the same on Cloud.
Learning Topic Models: Identifiability and Finite-Sample Analysis
Chen, Yinyin, He, Shishuang, Yang, Yun, Liang, Feng
Topic models provide a useful text-mining tool for learning, extracting and discovering latent structures in large text corpora. Although a plethora of methods have been proposed for topic modeling, a formal theoretical investigation on the statistical identifiability and accuracy of latent topic estimation is lacking in the literature. In this paper, we propose a maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of latent topics based on a specific integrated likelihood, which is naturally connected to the concept of volume minimization in computational geometry. Theoretically, we introduce a new set of geometric conditions for topic model identifiability, which are weaker than conventional separability conditions relying on the existence of anchor words or pure topic documents. We conduct finite-sample error analysis for the proposed estimator and discuss the connection of our results with existing ones. We conclude with empirical studies on both simulated and real datasets.
Situated Dialogue Learning through Procedural Environment Generation
Ammanabrolu, Prithviraj, Jia, Renee, Riedl, Mark O.
We teach goal-driven agents to interactively act and speak in situated environments by training on generated curriculums. Our agents operate in LIGHT (Urbanek et al., 2019)--a large-scale crowd-sourced fantasy text adventure game wherein an agent perceives and interacts with the world through textual natural language. Goals in this environment take the form of character-based quests, consisting of personas and motivations. We augment LIGHT by learning to procedurally generate additional novel textual worlds and quests to create a curriculum of steadily increasing difficulty for training agents to achieve such goals. In particular, we measure curriculum difficulty in terms of the rarity of the quest in the original training distribution--an easier environment is one that is more likely to have been found in the unaugmented dataset. An ablation study shows that this method of learning from the tail of a distribution results in significantly higher generalization abilities as measured by zeroshot performance on never-before-seen quests.

Exploring Conditional Text Generation for Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis
Chebolu, Siva Uday Sampreeth, Dernoncourt, Franck, Lipka, Nedim, Solorio, Thamar
Aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA) is an NLP task that entails processing user-generated reviews to determine (i) the target being evaluated, (ii) the aspect category to which it belongs, and (iii) the sentiment expressed towards the target and aspect pair. In this article, we propose transforming ABSA into an abstract summary-like conditional text generation task that uses targets, aspects, and polarities to generate auxiliary statements. To demonstrate the efficacy of our task formulation and a proposed system, we fine-tune a pre-trained model for conditional text generation tasks to get new state-of-the-art results on a few restaurant domains and urban neighborhoods domain benchmark datasets.
Twitter Sentiment Analysis with Python
Since the feud between James and Tati took place in 2019, we will scrape Tweets from that time. We can do this with the help of a library called Twint. First, install this library with a simple pip intall twint . Now, let's run the following lines of code: The above lines of code will scrape 50K Tweets with the hashtag #jamescharles from January 2019. Let's now take a look at some of the variables present in the data frame: The data frame has 35 columns, and I've only attached a screenshot of half of them.
Beyond Topics: Discovering Latent Healthcare Objectives from Event Sequences
Caruana, Adrian, Bandara, Madhushi, Catchpoole, Daniel, Kennedy, Paul J
A meaningful understanding of clinical protocols and patient pathways helps improve healthcare outcomes. Electronic health records (EHR) reflect real-world treatment behaviours that are used to enhance healthcare management but present challenges; protocols and pathways are often loosely defined and with elements frequently not recorded in EHRs, complicating the enhancement. To solve this challenge, healthcare objectives associated with healthcare management activities can be indirectly observed in EHRs as latent topics. Topic models, such as Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), are used to identify latent patterns in EHR data. However, they do not examine the ordered nature of EHR sequences, nor do they appraise individual events in isolation. Our novel approach, the Categorical Sequence Encoder (CaSE) addresses these shortcomings. The sequential nature of EHRs is captured by CaSE's event-level representations, revealing latent healthcare objectives. In synthetic EHR sequences, CaSE outperforms LDA by up to 37% at identifying healthcare objectives. In the real-world MIMIC-III dataset, CaSE identifies meaningful representations that could critically enhance protocol and pathway development.
A Comparative Study of Sentiment Analysis Using NLP and Different Machine Learning Techniques on US Airline Twitter Data
Tusar, Md. Taufiqul Haque Khan, Islam, Md. Touhidul
Today's business ecosystem has become very competitive. Customer satisfaction has become a major focus for business growth. Business organizations are spending a lot of money and human resources on various strategies to understand and fulfill their customer's needs. But, because of defective manual analysis on multifarious needs of customers, many organizations are failing to achieve customer satisfaction. As a result, they are losing customer's loyalty and spending extra money on marketing. We can solve the problems by implementing Sentiment Analysis. It is a combined technique of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML). Sentiment Analysis is broadly used to extract insights from wider public opinion behind certain topics, products, and services. We can do it from any online available data. In this paper, we have introduced two NLP techniques (Bag-of-Words and TF-IDF) and various ML classification algorithms (Support Vector Machine, Logistic Regression, Multinomial Naive Bayes, Random Forest) to find an effective approach for Sentiment Analysis on a large, imbalanced, and multi-classed dataset. Our best approaches provide 77% accuracy using Support Vector Machine and Logistic Regression with Bag-of-Words technique.
UserIdentifier: Implicit User Representations for Simple and Effective Personalized Sentiment Analysis
Mireshghallah, Fatemehsadat, Shrivastava, Vaishnavi, Shokouhi, Milad, Berg-Kirkpatrick, Taylor, Sim, Robert, Dimitriadis, Dimitrios
Global models are trained to be as generalizable as possible, with user invariance considered desirable since the models are shared across multitudes of users. As such, these models are often unable to produce personalized responses for individual users, based on their data. Contrary to widely-used personalization techniques based on few-shot learning, we propose UserIdentifier, a novel scheme for training a single shared model for all users. Our approach produces personalized responses by adding fixed, non-trainable user identifiers to the input data. We empirically demonstrate that this proposed method outperforms the prefix-tuning based state-of-the-art approach by up to 13%, on a suite of sentiment analysis datasets. We also show that, unlike prior work, this method needs neither any additional model parameters nor any extra rounds of few-shot fine-tuning.
