Self-Adaptable Point Processes with Nonparametric Time Decays
Many applications involve multi-type event data. Understanding the complex influences of the events on each other is critical to discover useful knowledge and to predict future events and their types. Existing methods either ignore or partially account for these influences. Recent works use recurrent neural networks to model the event rate. While being highly expressive, they couple all the temporal dependencies in a black-box and can hardly extract meaningful knowledge. More important, most methods assume an exponential time decay of the influence strength, which is over-simplified and can miss many important strength varying patterns.
Cardinality-Regularized Hawkes-Granger Model
This section provides parameter estimation equations in the MM procedure Eq. (13) for the baseline intensity ยตand the decay parameter ฮฒ, which were omitted in the main text due to space limitations. Below, we provide results for the exponential and power distributions. This section describes the details of the experiments. We have included the Sparse5and Dense10 data sets and the Python code to generate those as part of the final submission. B.1 Data generation Sparse5 The Sparse5 benchmark dataset is designed to have a simplest but nontrivial kind of causal structure, which is supposed to be easily reproduced by any Granger-causal learning algorithms.
Ambiguous Images With Human Judgments for Robust Visual Event Classification
Contemporary vision benchmarks predominantly consider tasks on which humans can achieve near-perfect performance. However, humans are frequently presented with visual data that they cannot classify with 100% certainty, and models trained on standard vision benchmarks achieve low performance when evaluated on this data. To address this issue, we introduce a procedure for creating datasets of ambiguous images and use it to produce SQUID-E ("Squidy"), a collection of noisy images extracted from videos. All images are annotated with ground truth values and a test set is annotated with human uncertainty judgments. We use this dataset to characterize human uncertainty in vision tasks and evaluate existing visual event classification models. Experimental results suggest that existing vision models are not sufficiently equipped to provide meaningful outputs for ambiguous images and that datasets of this nature can be used to assess and improve such models through model training and direct evaluation of model calibration. These findings motivate large-scale ambiguous dataset creation and further research focusing on noisy visual data.1
A Simple yet Scalable Granger Causal Structural Learning Approach for Topological Event Sequences
Such causal graphs delineate the relations among alarms and can significantly aid engineers in identifying and rectifying faults. However, existing methods either ignore the topological relationships among devices or suffer from relatively low scalability and efficiency, failing to deliver high-quality responses in a timely manner.
