TACIT: A Target-Agnostic Feature Disentanglement Framework for Cross-Domain Text Classification
Rui Song, Fausto Giunchiglia, Yingji Li +2
Cross-domain text classification aims to transfer models from label-rich source domains to label-poor target domains, giving it a wide range of practical applications. Many approac…
Towards a Gateway for Knowledge Graph Schemas Collection, Analysis, and Embedding
Mattia Fumagalli, Marco Boffo, Daqian Shi +2
One of the significant barriers to the training of statistical models on knowledge graphs is the difficulty that scientists have in finding the best input data to address their pre…
Social Interactions Mediated by the Internet and the Big- Five: a Cross-Country Analysis
Andrea Mercado, Alethia Hume, Ivanno Bison +3
This study analyzes the possible relationship between personality traits, in terms of Big Five (extraversion, agreeableness, responsibility, emotional stability and openness to exp…
Lexical Diversity in Kinship Across Languages and Dialects
Hadi Khalilia, Gábor Bella, Abed Alhakim Freihat +2
Languages are known to describe the world in diverse ways. Across lexicons, diversity is pervasive, appearing through phenomena such as lexical gaps and untranslatability. However,…
A semantics-driven methodology for high-quality image annotation
Fausto Giunchiglia, Mayukh Bagchi, Xiaolei Diao
Recent work in Machine Learning and Computer Vision has highlighted the presence of various types of systematic flaws inside ground truth object recognition benchmark datasets. Our…
Diversity and Language Technology: How Techno-Linguistic Bias Can Cause Epistemic Injustice
Paula Helm, Gábor Bella, Gertraud Koch +1
It is well known that AI-based language technology -- large language models, machine translation systems, multilingual dictionaries, and corpora -- is currently limited to 2 to 3 p…
Towards Bridging the Digital Language Divide
Gábor Bella, Paula Helm, Gertraud Koch +1
It is a well-known fact that current AI-based language technology -- language models, machine translation systems, multilingual dictionaries and corpora -- focuses on the world's 2…
Automatic Counterfactual Augmentation for Robust Text Classification Based on Word-Group Search
Rui Song, Fausto Giunchiglia, Yingji Li +1
Despite large-scale pre-trained language models have achieved striking results for text classificaion, recent work has raised concerns about the challenge of shortcut learning. In…
Adaptation of Student Behavioural Routines during COVID-19: A Multimodal Approach
Nicolò A. Girardini, Simone Centellegher, Andrea Passerini +3
One population group that had to significantly adapt and change their behaviour during the COVID-19 pandemic is students. While previous studies have extensively investigated the i…
Social interactions mediated by the Internet and the Big-Five: a cross-country analysis
Andrea Mercado, Alethia Hume, Ivano Bison +3
This study analyzes the possible relationship between personality traits, in terms of Big Five (extraversion, agreeableness, responsibility, emotional stability and openness to exp…
Building Interoperable Electronic Health Records as Purpose-Driven Knowledge Graphs
Simone Bocca, Alessio Zamboni, Gabor Bella +5
When building a new application we are increasingly confronted with the need of reusing and integrating pre-existing knowledge. Nevertheless, it is a fact that this prior knowledge…
Egocentric Hierarchical Visual Semantics
Luca Erculiani, Andrea Bontempelli, Andrea Passerini +1
We are interested in aligning how people think about objects and what machines perceive, meaning by this the fact that object recognition, as performed by a machine, should follow…
Recognizing Entity Types via Properties
Daqian Shi, Fausto Giunchiglia
The mainstream approach to the development of ontologies is merging ontologies encoding different information, where one of the major difficulties is that the heterogeneity motivat…
Incremental Image Labeling via Iterative Refinement
Fausto Giunchiglia, Xiaolei Diao, Mayukh Bagchi
Data quality is critical for multimedia tasks, while various types of systematic flaws are found in image benchmark datasets, as discussed in recent work. In particular, the existe…
Towards Ranking Schemas by Focus
Mattia Fumagalli, Daqian Shi, Fausto Giunchiglia
The main goal of this paper is to evaluate knowledge base schemas, modeled as a set of entity types, each such type being associated with a set of properties, according to their fo…
Complex Daily Activities, Country-Level Diversity, and Smartphone Sensing: A Study in Denmark, Italy, Mongolia, Paraguay, and UK
Karim Assi, Lakmal Meegahapola, William Droz +19
Smartphones enable understanding human behavior with activity recognition to support people's daily lives. Prior studies focused on using inertial sensors to detect simple activiti…
Representing Interlingual Meaning in Lexical Databases
Fausto Giunchiglia, Gabor Bella, Nandu Chandran Nair +2
In today's multilingual lexical databases, the majority of the world's languages are under-represented. Beyond a mere issue of resource incompleteness, we show that existing lexica…
