Time-varying Graph Representation Learning via Higher-Order Skip-Gram with Negative Sampling

Simone Piaggesi, André Panisson

Representation learning models for graphs are a successful family of techniques that project nodes into feature spaces that can be exploited by other machine learning algorithms. S…

Gender gaps in urban mobility

Laetitia Gauvin, Michele Tizzoni, Simone Piaggesi +5

The use of public transportation or simply moving about in streets are gendered issues. Women and girls often engage in multi-purpose, multi-stop trips in order to do household cho…

Disentangled and Self-Explainable Node Representation Learning

Simone Piaggesi, André Panisson, Megha Khosla

Node representations, or embeddings, are low-dimensional vectors that capture node properties, typically learned through unsupervised structural similarity objectives or supervised…

Explanations Go Linear: Post-hoc Explainability for Tabular Data with Interpretable Meta-Encoding

Simone Piaggesi, Riccardo Guidotti, Fosca Giannotti +1

Post-hoc explainability is essential for understanding black-box machine learning models. Surrogate-based techniques are widely used for local and global model-agnostic explanation…
