Cluster-Guided Label Generation in Extreme Multi-Label Classification

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

For extreme multi-label classification (XMC), existing classification-based models poorly perform for tail labels and often ignore the semantic relations among labels, like treating "Wikipedia" and "Wiki" as independent and separate labels. In this paper, we cast XMC as a generation task (XLGen), where we benefit from pre-trained text-to-text models. However, generating labels from the extremely large label space is challenging without any constraints or guidance. We, therefore, propose to guide label generation using label cluster information to hierarchically generate lower-level labels. We also find that frequency-based label ordering and using decoding ensemble methods are critical factors for the improvements in XLGen. XLGen with cluster guidance significantly outperforms the classification and generation baselines on tail labels, and also generally improves the overall performance in four popular XMC benchmarks. In human evaluation, we also find XLGen generates unseen but plausible labels. Our code is now available at https://github.com/alexa/xlgen-eacl-2023.


A Survey of Knowledge Tracing

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

High-quality education is one of the keys to achieving a more sustainable world. In contrast to traditional face-to-face classroom education, online education enables us to record and research a large amount of learning data for offering intelligent educational services. Knowledge Tracing (KT), which aims to monitor students' evolving knowledge state in learning, is the fundamental task to support these intelligent services. In recent years, an increasing amount of research is focused on this emerging field and considerable progress has been made. In this survey, we categorize existing KT models from a technical perspective and investigate these models in a systematic manner. Subsequently, we review abundant variants of KT models that consider more strict learning assumptions from three phases: before, during, and after learning. To better facilitate researchers and practitioners working on this field, we open source two algorithm libraries: EduData for downloading and preprocessing KT-related datasets, and EduKTM with extensible and unified implementation of existing mainstream KT models. Moreover, the development of KT cannot be separated from its applications, therefore we further present typical KT applications in different scenarios. Finally, we discuss some potential directions for future research in this fast-growing field.


World University Law School - World University and School Wiki

#artificialintelligence

Welcome to World University and School Wiki which anyone can add to or edit. WUaS would like to offer online CLE credits with these great universities, anticipating accrediting WUaS Law Schools in 204 countries. California, the state in which WUaS is incorporated, has 12 online law schools (none of these are ABA approved, but anyone can sit the California Bar exam, regardless of such approval, as I understand it), at present, and WUaS would like to develop another online MIT OCW/Harvard-centric law school, and eventually accredit in all 204 countries in the world, in main languages in those countries, beginning with the 6 United Nations' languages. Online Law Schools Have Yet to Pass the Bar: Many argue that fully online programs aren't the path to a traditional legal career]. WUaS is planning for a "Admitted Students' Day" for the first, matriculating Bachelor's degree class, on or around Saturday, April 14th, 2014, and the second Saturday of April for other degrees in the future.


iiot bigdata, Twitter, 2/3/2023 12:09:04 PM, 288439

#artificialintelligence

The graph represents a network of 1,053 Twitter users whose recent tweets contained "iiot bigdata", or who were replied to, mentioned, retweeted or quoted in those tweets, taken from a data set limited to a maximum of 5,000 tweets, tweeted between 3/26/2006 12:00:00 AM and 2/2/2023 5:00:34 PM. The network was obtained from Twitter on Friday, 03 February 2023 at 12:04 UTC. The tweets in the network were tweeted over the 1763-day, 16-hour, 6-minute period from Friday, 06 April 2018 at 08:52 UTC to Friday, 03 February 2023 at 00:58 UTC. There is an edge for each "replies-to" relationship in a tweet, an edge for each "mentions" relationship in a tweet, an edge for each "retweet" relationship in a tweet, an edge for each "quote" relationship in a tweet, an edge for each "mention in retweet" relationship in a tweet, an edge for each "mention in reply-to" relationship in a tweet, an edge for each "mention in quote" relationship in a tweet, an edge for each "mention in quote reply-to" relationship in a tweet, and a self-loop edge for each tweet that is not from above. The graph's vertices were grouped by cluster using the Clauset-Newman-Moore cluster algorithm.

Proactive and Reactive Engagement of Artificial Intelligence Methods for Education: A Review

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Quality education, one of the seventeen sustainable development goals (SDGs) identified by the United Nations General Assembly, stands to benefit enormously from the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) driven tools and technologies. The concurrent boom of necessary infrastructure, digitized data and general social awareness has propelled massive research and development efforts in the artificial intelligence for education (AIEd) sector. In this review article, we investigate how artificial intelligence, machine learning and deep learning methods are being utilized to support students, educators and administrative staff. We do this through the lens of a novel categorization approach. We consider the involvement of AI-driven methods in the education process in its entirety - from students admissions, course scheduling etc. in the proactive planning phase to knowledge delivery, performance assessment etc. in the reactive execution phase. We outline and analyze the major research directions under proactive and reactive engagement of AI in education using a representative group of 194 original research articles published in the past two decades i.e., 2003 - 2022. We discuss the paradigm shifts in the solution approaches proposed, i.e., in the choice of data and algorithms used over this time. We further dive into how the COVID-19 pandemic challenged and reshaped the education landscape at the fag end of this time period. Finally, we pinpoint existing limitations in adopting artificial intelligence for education and reflect on the path forward.

User-Centered Security in Natural Language Processing

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

This dissertation proposes a framework of user-centered security in Natural Language Processing (NLP), and demonstrates how it can improve the accessibility of related research. Accordingly, it focuses on two security domains within NLP with great public interest. First, that of author profiling, which can be employed to compromise online privacy through invasive inferences. Without access and detailed insight into these models' predictions, there is no reasonable heuristic by which Internet users might defend themselves from such inferences. Secondly, that of cyberbullying detection, which by default presupposes a centralized implementation; i.e., content moderation across social platforms. As access to appropriate data is restricted, and the nature of the task rapidly evolves (both through lexical variation, and cultural shifts), the effectiveness of its classifiers is greatly diminished and thereby often misrepresented. Under the proposed framework, we predominantly investigate the use of adversarial attacks on language; i.e., changing a given input (generating adversarial samples) such that a given model does not function as intended. These attacks form a common thread between our user-centered security problems; they are highly relevant for privacy-preserving obfuscation methods against author profiling, and adversarial samples might also prove useful to assess the influence of lexical variation and augmentation on cyberbullying detection.
