The quest for algorithms that enable cognitive abilities is an important part of machine learning. A common trait in many recently investigated cognitive-like tasks is that they take into account different data modalities, such as visual and textual input. In this paper we propose a novel and generally applicable form of attention mechanism that learns high-order correlations between various data modalities. We show that high-order correlations effectively direct the appropriate attention to the relevant elements in the different data modalities that are required to solve the joint task. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our high-order attention mechanism on the task of visual question answering (VQA), where we achieve state-of-the-art performance on the standard VQA dataset.

Synthcity is an open-source software package for innovative use cases of synthetic data in ML fairness, privacy and augmentation across diverse tabular data modalities, including static data, regular and irregular time series, data with censoring, multi-source data, composite data, and more. Synthcity provides the practitioners with a single access point to cutting edge research and tools in synthetic data. It also offers the community a playground for rapid experimentation and prototyping, a one-stop-shop for SOTA benchmarks, and an opportunity for extending research impact. The library can be accessed on GitHub and pip. We warmly invite the community to join the development effort by providing feedback, reporting bugs, and contributing code.

Knowledge graphs and knowledge bases are forms of symbolic knowledge representations used across AI applications. Both refer to a set of technologies that organise data for easier access, capture information about people, places, events, and other entities of interest, and forge connections between them. As AI (re-)conquered the world, symbolic knowledge representations became ubiquitous, and are now extensively used in everything from search engines and chatbots to product recommenders and autonomous systems, especially in the context of neuro-symbolic approaches. Knowledge engineering is the field that encompasses technical and social aspects related to building knowledge-based AI systems. In its most recent manifestation, it involves complex, human-machine workflows including knowledge acqusition from experts, crowdsourced entity typing and reconciliation, argumentation and discussion support, information extraction algorithms across different data modalities, and database lifting.

Learning social media data embedding by deep models has attracted extensive research interest as well as boomed a lot of applications, such as link prediction, classification, and cross-modal search. However, for social images which contain both link information and multimodal contents (e.g., text description, and visual content), simply employing the embedding learnt from network structure or data content results in sub-optimal social image representation. In this paper, we propose a novel social image embedding approach called Deep Multimodal Attention Networks (DMAN), which employs a deep model to jointly embed multimodal contents and link information. Specifically, to effectively capture the correlations between multimodal contents, we propose a multimodal attention network to encode the fine-granularity relation between image regions and textual words. To leverage the network structure for embedding learning, a novel Siamese-Triplet neural network is proposed to model the links among images. With the joint deep model, the learnt embedding can capture both the multimodal contents and the nonlinear network information. Extensive experiments are conducted to investigate the effectiveness of our approach in the applications of multi-label classification and cross-modal search. Compared to state-of-the-art image embeddings, our proposed DMAN achieves significant improvement in the tasks of multi-label classification and cross-modal search.
