Many annotation tasks in natural language processing are highly subjective in that there can be different valid and justified perspectives on what is a proper label for a given example. This also applies to the judgment of argument quality, where the assignment of a single ground truth is often questionable. At the same time, there are generally accepted concepts behind argumentation that form a common ground. To best represent the interplay of individual and shared perspectives, we consider a continuum of approaches ranging from models that fully aggregate perspectives into a majority label to "share nothing"-architectures in which each annotator is considered in isolation from all other annotators. In between these extremes, inspired by models used in the field of recommender systems, we investigate the extent to which architectures that include layers to model the relations between different annotators are beneficial for predicting single-annotator labels. By means of two tasks of argument quality classification (argument concreteness and validity/novelty of conclusions), we show that recommender architectures increase the averaged annotator-individual F$_1$-scores up to $43\%$ over a majority label model. Our findings indicate that approaches to subjectivity can benefit from relating individual perspectives.

Social intelligence manifests the capability, often referred to as the Theory of Mind (ToM), to discern others' behavioral intentions, beliefs, and other mental states. ToM is especially important in multi-agent and human-machine interaction environments because each agent needs to understand the mental states of other agents in order to better respond, interact, and collaborate. Recent research indicates that the ToM model possesses the capability to infer beliefs, intentions, and anticipate future observations and actions; nonetheless, its deployment in tackling intricate tasks remains notably limited. The challenges arise when the number of agents increases, the environment becomes more complex, and interacting with the environment and predicting the mental state of each other becomes difficult and time consuming. To overcome such limits, we take inspiration from the Theory of Collective Mind (ToCM) mechanism, predicting observations of all other agents into a unified but plural representation and discerning how our own actions affect this mental state representation. Based on this foundation, we construct an imaginative space to simulate the multi-agent interaction process, thus improving the efficiency of cooperation among multiple agents in complex decision-making environments. In various cooperative tasks with different numbers of agents, the experimental results highlight the superior cooperative efficiency and performance of our approach compared to the Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) baselines. We achieve consistent boost on SNN- and DNN-based decision networks, and demonstrate that ToCM's inferences about others' mental states can be transferred to new tasks for quickly and flexible adaptation.

Pneunets are the primary form of soft robotic grippers. A key limitation to their wider adoption is their inability to grasp larger payloads due to objects slipping out of grasps. We have overcome this limitation by introducing a torsionally rigid strain limiting layer (TRL). This reduces out-of-plane bending while maintaining the gripper's softness and in-plane flexibility. We characterize the design space of the strain limiting layer for a Pneu-net gripper using simulation and experiment and map bending angle and relative grip strength. We found that the use of our TRL reduced out-of-plane bending by up to 97.7% in testing compared to a benchmark Pneu-net gripper from the Soft Robotics Toolkit. We demonstrate a lifting capacity of 5kg when loading using the TRL. We also see a relative improvement in peak grip force of 3N and stiffness of 1200N/m compared to 1N and 150N/m for a Pneu-net gripper without our TRL at equal pressures. Finally, we test the TRL gripper on a suite of six YCB objects above the demonstrated capability of a traditional Pneu-net gripper. We show success on all but one demonstrating significant increased capabilities.

One of the most famous conjectures in combinatorial optimization is the four-thirds conjecture, which states that the integrality gap of the subtour LP relaxation of the TSP is equal to $\frac43$. For 40 years, the best known upper bound was 1.5, due to Wolsey (1980). Recently, Karlin, Klein, and Oveis Gharan (2022) showed that the max entropy algorithm for the TSP gives an improved bound of $1.5 - 10^{-36}$. In this paper, we show that the approximation ratio of the max entropy algorithm is at least 1.375, even for graphic TSP. Thus the max entropy algorithm does not appear to be the algorithm that will ultimately resolve the four-thirds conjecture in the affirmative, should that be possible.

Fairness is an emerging and challenging topic in recommender systems. In recent years, various ways of evaluating and therefore improving fairness have emerged. In this study, we examine existing evaluation measures of fairness in recommender systems. Specifically, we focus solely on exposure-based fairness measures of individual items that aim to quantify the disparity in how individual items are recommended to users, separate from item relevance to users. We gather all such measures and we critically analyse their theoretical properties. We identify a series of limitations in each of them, which collectively may render the affected measures hard or impossible to interpret, to compute, or to use for comparing recommendations. We resolve these limitations by redefining or correcting the affected measures, or we argue why certain limitations cannot be resolved. We further perform a comprehensive empirical analysis of both the original and our corrected versions of these fairness measures, using real-world and synthetic datasets. Our analysis provides novel insights into the relationship between measures based on different fairness concepts, and different levels of measure sensitivity and strictness. We conclude with practical suggestions of which fairness measures should be used and when. Our code is publicly available. To our knowledge, this is the first critical comparison of individual item fairness measures in recommender systems.

Continuous monitoring and patient acuity assessments are key aspects of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) practice, but both are limited by time constraints imposed on healthcare providers. Moreover, anticipating clinical trajectories remains imprecise. The objectives of this study are to (1) develop an electronic phenotype of acuity using automated variable retrieval within the electronic health records and (2) describe transitions between acuity states that illustrate the clinical trajectories of ICU patients. We gathered two single-center, longitudinal electronic health record datasets for 51,372 adult ICU patients admitted to the University of Florida Health (UFH) Gainesville (GNV) and Jacksonville (JAX). We developed algorithms to quantify acuity status at four-hour intervals for each ICU admission and identify acuity phenotypes using continuous acuity status and k-means clustering approach. 51,073 admissions for 38,749 patients in the UFH GNV dataset and 22,219 admissions for 12,623 patients in the UFH JAX dataset had at least one ICU stay lasting more than four hours. There were three phenotypes: persistently stable, persistently unstable, and transitioning from unstable to stable. For stable patients, approximately 0.7%-1.7% would transition to unstable, 0.02%-0.1% would expire, 1.2%-3.4% would be discharged, and the remaining 96%-97% would remain stable in the ICU every four hours. For unstable patients, approximately 6%-10% would transition to stable, 0.4%-0.5% would expire, and the remaining 89%-93% would remain unstable in the ICU in the next four hours. We developed phenotyping algorithms for patient acuity status every four hours while admitted to the ICU. This approach may be useful in developing prognostic and clinical decision-support tools to aid patients, caregivers, and providers in shared decision-making processes regarding escalation of care and patient values.

In pace with developments in the research field of artificial intelligence, knowledge graphs (KGs) have attracted a surge of interest from both academia and industry. As a representation of semantic relations between entities, KGs have proven to be particularly relevant for natural language processing (NLP), experiencing a rapid spread and wide adoption within recent years. Given the increasing amount of research work in this area, several KG-related approaches have been surveyed in the NLP research community. However, a comprehensive study that categorizes established topics and reviews the maturity of individual research streams remains absent to this day. Contributing to closing this gap, we systematically analyzed 507 papers from the literature on KGs in NLP. Our survey encompasses a multifaceted review of tasks, research types, and contributions. As a result, we present a structured overview of the research landscape, provide a taxonomy of tasks, summarize our findings, and highlight directions for future work.

Commonsense knowledge and commonsense reasoning are some of the main bottlenecks in machine intelligence. In the NLP community, many benchmark datasets and tasks have been created to address commonsense reasoning for language understanding. These tasks are designed to assess machines' ability to acquire and learn commonsense knowledge in order to reason and understand natural language text. As these tasks become instrumental and a driving force for commonsense research, this paper aims to provide an overview of existing tasks and benchmarks, knowledge resources, and learning and inference approaches toward commonsense reasoning for natural language understanding. Through this, our goal is to support a better understanding of the state of the art, its limitations, and future challenges.

Many natural language processing tasks solely rely on sparse dependencies between a few tokens in a sentence. Soft attention mechanisms show promising performance in modeling local/global dependencies by soft probabilities between every two tokens, but they are not effective and efficient when applied to long sentences. By contrast, hard attention mechanisms directly select a subset of tokens but are difficult and inefficient to train due to their combinatorial nature. In this paper, we integrate both soft and hard attention into one context fusion model, "reinforced self-attention (ReSA)", for the mutual benefit of each other. In ReSA, a hard attention trims a sequence for a soft self-attention to process, while the soft attention feeds reward signals back to facilitate the training of the hard one. For this purpose, we develop a novel hard attention called "reinforced sequence sampling (RSS)", selecting tokens in parallel and trained via policy gradient. Using two RSS modules, ReSA efficiently extracts the sparse dependencies between each pair of selected tokens. We finally propose an RNN/CNN-free sentence-encoding model, "reinforced self-attention network (ReSAN)", solely based on ReSA. It achieves state-of-the-art performance on both Stanford Natural Language Inference (SNLI) and Sentences Involving Compositional Knowledge (SICK) datasets.

Image segmentation is still an open problem especially when intensities of the interested objects are overlapped due to the presence of intensity inhomogeneity (also known as bias field). To segment images with intensity inhomogeneities, a bias correction embedded level set model is proposed where Inhomogeneities are Estimated by Orthogonal Primary Functions (IEOPF). In the proposed model, the smoothly varying bias is estimated by a linear combination of a given set of orthogonal primary functions. An inhomogeneous intensity clustering energy is then defined and membership functions of the clusters described by the level set function are introduced to rewrite the energy as a data term of the proposed model. Similar to popular level set methods, a regularization term and an arc length term are also included to regularize and smooth the level set function, respectively. The proposed model is then extended to multichannel and multiphase patterns to segment colourful images and images with multiple objects, respectively. It has been extensively tested on both synthetic and real images that are widely used in the literature and public BrainWeb and IBSR datasets. Experimental results and comparison with state-of-the-art methods demonstrate that advantages of the proposed model in terms of bias correction and segmentation accuracy.
