In this work, we study the effects of feature-based explanations on distributive fairness of AI-assisted decisions, specifically focusing on the task of predicting occupations from short textual bios. We also investigate how any effects are mediated by humans' fairness perceptions and their reliance on AI recommendations. Our findings show that explanations influence fairness perceptions, which, in turn, relate to humans' tendency to adhere to AI recommendations. However, we see that such explanations do not enable humans to discern correct and incorrect AI recommendations. Instead, we show that they may affect reliance irrespective of the correctness of AI recommendations. Depending on which features an explanation highlights, this can foster or hinder distributive fairness: when explanations highlight features that are task-irrelevant and evidently associated with the sensitive attribute, this prompts overrides that counter AI recommendations that align with gender stereotypes. Meanwhile, if explanations appear task-relevant, this induces reliance behavior that reinforces stereotype-aligned errors. These results imply that feature-based explanations are not a reliable mechanism to improve distributive fairness.

The reliability of the outcome of a quantum circuit in near-term noisy quantum computers depends on the gate count and depth for a given problem. Circuits with a short depth and lower gate count can yield the correct solution more often than the variant with a higher gate count and depth. To work successfully for Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) computers, quantum circuits need to be optimized efficiently using a compiler that decomposes high-level gates to native gates of the hardware. Many 3rd party compilers are being developed for lower compilation time, reduced circuit depth, and lower gate count for large quantum circuits. Such compilers, or even a specific release version of a compiler that is otherwise trustworthy, may be unreliable and give rise to security risks such as insertion of a quantum trojan during compilation that evades detection due to the lack of a golden/Oracle model in quantum computing. Trojans may corrupt the functionality to give flipped probabilities of basis states, or result in a lower probability of correct basis states in the output. In this paper, we investigate and discuss the impact of a single qubit Trojan (we have chosen a Hadamard gate and a NOT gate) inserted one at a time at various locations in benchmark quantum circuits without changing the the depth of the circuit. Results indicate an average of 16.18% degradation for the Hadamard Trojan without noise, and 7.78% with noise. For the NOT Trojan (with noise) there is 14.6% degradation over all possible inputs. We then discuss the detection of such Trojans in a quantum circuit using CNN-based classifier achieving an accuracy of 90%.

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues advancing, ensuring positive societal impacts becomes critical, especially as AI systems become increasingly ubiquitous in various aspects of life. However, developing "AI for good" poses substantial challenges around aligning systems with complex human values. Presently, we lack mature methods for addressing these challenges. This article presents and evaluates the Positive AI design method aimed at addressing this gap. The method provides a human-centered process to translate wellbeing aspirations into concrete practices. First, we explain the method's four key steps: contextualizing, operationalizing, optimizing, and implementing wellbeing supported by continuous measurement for feedback cycles. We then present a multiple case study where novice designers applied the method, revealing strengths and weaknesses related to efficacy and usability. Next, an expert evaluation study assessed the quality of the resulting concepts, rating them moderately high for feasibility, desirability, and plausibility of achieving intended wellbeing benefits. Together, these studies provide preliminary validation of the method's ability to improve AI design, while surfacing areas needing refinement like developing support for complex steps. Proposed adaptations such as examples and evaluation heuristics could address weaknesses. Further research should examine sustained application over multiple projects. This human-centered approach shows promise for realizing the vision of 'AI for Wellbeing' that does not just avoid harm, but actively benefits humanity.

We develop a family of distributed clustering algorithms that work over networks of users. In the proposed scenario, users contain a local dataset and communicate only with their immediate neighbours, with the aim of finding a clustering of the full, joint data. The proposed family, termed Distributed Gradient Clustering (DGC-$\mathcal{F}_\rho$), is parametrized by $\rho \geq 1$, controling the proximity of users' center estimates, with $\mathcal{F}$ determining the clustering loss. Specialized to popular clustering losses like $K$-means and Huber loss, DGC-$\mathcal{F}_\rho$ gives rise to novel distributed clustering algorithms DGC-KM$_\rho$ and DGC-HL$_\rho$, while a novel clustering loss based on the logistic function leads to DGC-LL$_\rho$. We provide a unified analysis and establish several strong results, under mild assumptions. First, the sequence of centers generated by the methods converges to a well-defined notion of fixed point, under any center initialization and value of $\rho$. Second, as $\rho$ increases, the family of fixed points produced by DGC-$\mathcal{F}_\rho$ converges to a notion of consensus fixed points. We show that consensus fixed points of DGC-$\mathcal{F}_{\rho}$ are equivalent to fixed points of gradient clustering over the full data, guaranteeing a clustering of the full data is produced. For the special case of Bregman losses, we show that our fixed points converge to the set of Lloyd points. Numerical experiments on real data confirm our theoretical findings and demonstrate strong performance of the methods.

Community management is critical for stakeholders to collaboratively build and sustain communities with socio-technical support. However, most of the existing research has mainly focused on the community members and the platform, with little attention given to the developers who act as intermediaries between the platform and community members and develop tools to support community management. This study focuses on third-party developers (TPDs) for the live streaming platform Twitch and explores their tool development practices. Using a mixed method with in-depth qualitative analysis, we found that TPDs maintain complex relationships with different stakeholders (streamers, viewers, platform, professional developers), and the multi-layered policy restricts their agency regarding idea innovation and tool development. We argue that HCI research should shift its focus from tool users to tool developers with regard to community management. We propose designs to support closer collaboration between TPDS and the platform and professional developers and streamline TPDs' development process with unified toolkits and policy documentation.

We propose a new multi-agent task grammar to encode collaborative tasks for a team of heterogeneous agents that can have overlapping capabilities. The grammar allows users to specify the relationship between agents and parts of the task without providing explicit assignments or constraints on the number of agents required. We develop a method to automatically find a team of agents and synthesize correct-by-construction control with synchronization policies to satisfy the task. We demonstrate the scalability of our approach through simulation and compare our method to existing task grammars that encode multi-agent tasks.

Amidst the growing interest in nonparametric regression, we address a significant challenge in Gaussian processes(GP) applied to manifold-based predictors. Existing methods primarily focus on low dimensional constrained domains for heat kernel estimation, limiting their effectiveness in higher-dimensional manifolds. Our research proposes an intrinsic approach for constructing GP on general manifolds such as orthogonal groups, unitary groups, Stiefel manifolds and Grassmannian manifolds. Our methodology estimates the heat kernel by simulating Brownian motion sample paths using the exponential map, ensuring independence from the manifold's embedding. The introduction of our strip algorithm, tailored for manifolds with extra symmetries, and the ball algorithm, designed for arbitrary manifolds, constitutes our significant contribution. Both algorithms are rigorously substantiated through theoretical proofs and numerical testing, with the strip algorithm showcasing remarkable efficiency gains over traditional methods. This intrinsic approach delivers several key advantages, including applicability to high dimensional manifolds, eliminating the requirement for global parametrization or embedding. We demonstrate its practicality through regression case studies (torus knots and eight dimensional projective spaces) and by developing binary classifiers for real world datasets (gorilla skulls planar images and diffusion tensor images). These classifiers outperform traditional methods, particularly in limited data scenarios.

The new era of technology has brought us to the point where it is convenient for people to share their opinions over an abundance of platforms. These platforms have a provision for the users to express themselves in multiple forms of representations, including text, images, videos, and audio. This, however, makes it difficult for users to obtain all the key information about a topic, making the task of automatic multi-modal summarization (MMS) essential. In this paper, we present a comprehensive survey of the existing research in the area of MMS.

Graph neural networks (GNNs) is widely used to learn a powerful representation of graph-structured data. Recent work demonstrates that transferring knowledge from self-supervised tasks to downstream tasks could further improve graph representation. However, there is an inherent gap between self-supervised tasks and downstream tasks in terms of optimization objective and training data. Conventional pre-training methods may be not effective enough on knowledge transfer since they do not make any adaptation for downstream tasks. To solve such problems, we propose a new transfer learning paradigm on GNNs which could effectively leverage self-supervised tasks as auxiliary tasks to help the target task. Our methods would adaptively select and combine different auxiliary tasks with the target task in the fine-tuning stage. We design an adaptive auxiliary loss weighting model to learn the weights of auxiliary tasks by quantifying the consistency between auxiliary tasks and the target task. In addition, we learn the weighting model through meta-learning. Our methods can be applied to various transfer learning approaches, it performs well not only in multi-task learning but also in pre-training and fine-tuning. Comprehensive experiments on multiple downstream tasks demonstrate that the proposed methods can effectively combine auxiliary tasks with the target task and significantly improve the performance compared to state-of-the-art methods.

This work considers the question of how convenient access to copious data impacts our ability to learn causal effects and relations. In what ways is learning causality in the era of big data different from -- or the same as -- the traditional one? To answer this question, this survey provides a comprehensive and structured review of both traditional and frontier methods in learning causality and relations along with the connections between causality and machine learning. This work points out on a case-by-case basis how big data facilitates, complicates, or motivates each approach.
