Modern society devotes a significant amount of time to digital interaction. Many of our daily actions are carried out through digital means. This has led to the emergence of numerous Artificial Intelligence tools that assist us in various aspects of our lives. One key tool for the digital society is Recommender Systems, intelligent systems that learn from our past actions to propose new ones that align with our interests. Some of these systems have specialized in learning from the behavior of user groups to make recommendations to a group of individuals who want to perform a joint task. In this article, we analyze the current state of Group Recommender Systems and propose two new models that use emerging Deep Learning architectures. Experimental results demonstrate the improvement achieved by employing the proposed models compared to the state-of-the-art models using four different datasets. The source code of the models, as well as that of all the experiments conducted, is available in a public repository.

Recent research shows that Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit a compelling level of proficiency in Theory of Mind (ToM) tasks. This ability to impute unobservable mental states to others is vital to human social cognition and may prove equally important in principal-agent relations between individual humans and Artificial Intelligences (AIs). In this paper, we explore how a mechanism studied in developmental psychology known as Violation of Expectation (VoE) can be implemented to reduce errors in LLM prediction about users by leveraging emergent ToM affordances. And we introduce a \textit{metacognitive prompting} framework to apply VoE in the context of an AI tutor. By storing and retrieving facts derived in cases where LLM expectation about the user was violated, we find that LLMs are able to learn about users in ways that echo theories of human learning. Finally, we discuss latent hazards and augmentative opportunities associated with modeling user psychology and propose ways to mitigate risk along with possible directions for future inquiry.

This work considers a rather general and broad class of Markov chains, Ito chains that look like Euler-Maryama discretization of some Stochastic Differential Equation. The chain we study is a unified framework for theoretical analysis. It comes with almost arbitrary isotropic and state-dependent noise instead of normal and state-independent one, as in most related papers. Moreover, our chain's drift and diffusion coefficient can be inexact to cover a wide range of applications such as Stochastic Gradient Langevin Dynamics, sampling, Stochastic Gradient Descent, or Stochastic Gradient Boosting. We prove an upper bound for $W_{2}$-distance between laws of the Ito chain and the corresponding Stochastic Differential Equation. These results improve or cover most of the known estimates. Moreover, for some particular cases, our analysis is the first.

Charts are used to communicate data visually, but designing an effective chart that a broad set of people can understand is challenging. Usually, we do not know whether a chart's intended message aligns with the message readers perceive. In this mixed-methods study, we investigate how data journalists encode data and how a broad audience engages with, experiences, and understands these data visualizations. We conducted a series of workshops and interviews with school students, university students, job seekers, designers, and senior citizens to collect perceived messages and subjective feedback on a sample of eight real-world charts. We analyzed these messages and compared them to the intended message of the chart producer. Four of the collected messages from consumers were then provided to data journalists (including the ones that created the original charts) as a starting point to re-design the charts accordingly. The results from our work underline the difficulty of complex charts such as stacked bar charts and Sankey diagrams. Consumers are often overwhelmed with the amount of data provided and are easily confused with terms (as text) not well known. Chart producers tend to be faithful with data but are willing to abstract further when asked to transport particular messages visually. There are strong conventions on how to visually encode particular information that might not be to the benefit of many consumers.

Cooking is a vital yet challenging activity for people with visual impairments (PVI). It involves tasks that can be dangerous or difficult without vision, such as handling a knife or adding a suitable amount of salt. A better understanding of these challenges can inform the design of technologies that mitigate safety hazards and improve the quality of the lives of PVI. Furthermore, there is a need to understand the effects of different visual abilities, including low vision and blindness, and the role of rehabilitation training where PVI learn cooking skills and assistive technologies. In this paper, we aim to comprehensively characterize PVI's challenges, strategies, and needs in the kitchen from the perspectives of both PVI and rehabilitation professionals. Through a contextual inquiry study, we observed 10 PVI, including six low vision and four blind participants, when they cooked dishes of their choices in their own kitchens. We then interviewed six rehabilitation professionals to explore their training strategies and technology recommendations. Our findings revealed the differences between low vision and blind people during cooking as well as the gaps between training and reality. We suggest improvements for rehabilitation training and distill design considerations for future assistive technology in the kitchen.

Expressive human speech generally abounds with rich and flexible speech prosody variations. The speech prosody predictors in existing expressive speech synthesis methods mostly produce deterministic predictions, which are learned by directly minimizing the norm of prosody prediction error. Its unimodal nature leads to a mismatch with ground truth distribution and harms the model's ability in making diverse predictions. Thus, we propose a novel prosody predictor based on the denoising diffusion probabilistic model to take advantage of its high-quality generative modeling and training stability. Experiment results confirm that the proposed prosody predictor outperforms the deterministic baseline on both the expressiveness and diversity of prediction results with even fewer network parameters.

Deep neural networks (DNNs) are successful in many computer vision tasks. However, the most accurate DNNs require millions of parameters and operations, making them energy, computation and memory intensive. This impedes the deployment of large DNNs in low-power devices with limited compute resources. Recent research improves DNN models by reducing the memory requirement, energy consumption, and number of operations without significantly decreasing the accuracy. This paper surveys the progress of low-power deep learning and computer vision, specifically in regards to inference, and discusses the methods for compacting and accelerating DNN models. The techniques can be divided into four major categories: (1) parameter quantization and pruning, (2) compressed convolutional filters and matrix factorization, (3) network architecture search, and (4) knowledge distillation. We analyze the accuracy, advantages, disadvantages, and potential solutions to the problems with the techniques in each category. We also discuss new evaluation metrics as a guideline for future research.

This work addresses a novel and challenging problem of estimating the full 3D hand shape and pose from a single RGB image. Most current methods in 3D hand analysis from monocular RGB images only focus on estimating the 3D locations of hand keypoints, which cannot fully express the 3D shape of hand. In contrast, we propose a Graph Convolutional Neural Network (Graph CNN) based method to reconstruct a full 3D mesh of hand surface that contains richer information of both 3D hand shape and pose. To train networks with full supervision, we create a large-scale synthetic dataset containing both ground truth 3D meshes and 3D poses. When fine-tuning the networks on real-world datasets without 3D ground truth, we propose a weakly-supervised approach by leveraging the depth map as a weak supervision in training. Through extensive evaluations on our proposed new datasets and two public datasets, we show that our proposed method can produce accurate and reasonable 3D hand mesh, and can achieve superior 3D hand pose estimation accuracy when compared with state-of-the-art methods.

Convolutional networks (ConvNets) have achieved great successes in various challenging vision tasks. However, the performance of ConvNets would degrade when encountering the domain shift. The domain adaptation is more significant while challenging in the field of biomedical image analysis, where cross-modality data have largely different distributions. Given that annotating the medical data is especially expensive, the supervised transfer learning approaches are not quite optimal. In this paper, we propose an unsupervised domain adaptation framework with adversarial learning for cross-modality biomedical image segmentations. Specifically, our model is based on a dilated fully convolutional network for pixel-wise prediction. Moreover, we build a plug-and-play domain adaptation module (DAM) to map the target input to features which are aligned with source domain feature space. A domain critic module (DCM) is set up for discriminating the feature space of both domains. We optimize the DAM and DCM via an adversarial loss without using any target domain label. Our proposed method is validated by adapting a ConvNet trained with MRI images to unpaired CT data for cardiac structures segmentations, and achieved very promising results.
