Exploring the tremendous amount of data efficiently to make a decision, similar to answering a complicated question, is challenging with many real-world application scenarios. In this context, automatic summarization has substantial importance as it will provide the foundation for big data analytic. Traditional summarization approaches optimize the system to produce a short static summary that fits all users that do not consider the subjectivity aspect of summarization, i.e., what is deemed valuable for different users, making these approaches impractical in real-world use cases. This paper proposes an interactive concept-based summarization model, called Adaptive Summaries, that helps users make their desired summary instead of producing a single inflexible summary. The system learns from users provided information gradually while interacting with the system by giving feedback in an iterative loop. Users can choose either reject or accept action for selecting a concept being included in the summary with the importance of that concept from users perspectives and confidence level of their feedback. The proposed approach can guarantee interactive speed to keep the user engaged in the process. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for reference summaries, which is a challenging issue for summarization tasks. Evaluations show that Adaptive Summaries helps users make high-quality summaries based on their preferences by maximizing the user-desired content in the generated summaries.

Machine learning models that first learn a representation of a domain in terms of human-understandable concepts, then use it to make predictions, have been proposed to facilitate interpretation and interaction with models trained on high-dimensional data. However these methods have important limitations: the way they define concepts are not inherently interpretable, and they assume that concept labels either exist for individual instances or can easily be acquired from users. These limitations are particularly acute for high-dimensional tabular features. We propose an approach for learning a set of transparent concept definitions in high-dimensional tabular data that relies on users labeling concept features instead of individual instances. Our method produces concepts that both align with users intuitive sense of what a concept means, and facilitate prediction of the downstream label by a transparent machine learning model. This ensures that the full model is transparent and intuitive, and as predictive as possible given this constraint. We demonstrate with simulated user feedback on real prediction problems, including one in a clinical domain, that this kind of direct feedback is much more efficient at learning solutions that align with ground truth concept definitions than alternative transparent approaches that rely on labeling instances or other existing interaction mechanisms, while maintaining similar predictive performance.
This paper proposes a novel solution to spam detection inspired by a model of the adaptive immune system known as the crossregulation model. We report on the testing of a preliminary algorithm on six e-mail corpora. We also compare our results statically and dynamically with those obtained by the Naive Bayes classifier and another binary classification method we developed previously for biomedical text-mining applications. We show that the cross-regulation model is competitive against those and thus promising as a bio-inspired algorithm for spam detection in particular, and binary classification in general.
Federated learning is an appealing framework for analyzing sensitive data from distributed health data networks. Under this framework, data partners at local sites collaboratively build an analytical model under the orchestration of a coordinating site, while keeping the data decentralized. While integrating information from multiple sources may boost statistical efficiency, existing federated learning methods mainly assume data across sites are homogeneous samples of the global population, failing to properly account for the extra variability across sites in estimation and inference. Drawing on a multi-hospital electronic health records network, we develop an efficient and interpretable tree-based ensemble of personalized treatment effect estimators to join results across hospital sites, while actively modeling for the heterogeneity in data sources through site partitioning. The efficiency of this approach is demonstrated by a study of causal effects of oxygen saturation on hospital mortality and backed up by comprehensive numerical results.
Symbolic control techniques aim to satisfy complex logic specifications. A critical step in these techniques is the construction of a symbolic (discrete) abstraction, a finite-state system whose behaviour mimics that of a given continuous-state system. The methods used to compute symbolic abstractions, however, require knowledge of an accurate closed-form model. To generalize them to systems with unknown dynamics, we present a new data-driven approach that does not require closed-form dynamics, instead relying only the ability to evaluate successors of each state under given inputs. To provide guarantees for the learned abstraction, we use the Probably Approximately Correct (PAC) statistical framework. We first introduce a PAC-style behavioural relationship and an appropriate refinement procedure. We then show how the symbolic abstraction can be constructed to satisfy this new behavioural relationship. Moreover, we provide PAC bounds that dictate the number of data required to guarantee a prescribed level of accuracy and confidence. Finally, we present an illustrative example.
Federated Learning, a new machine learning paradigm enhancing the use of edge devices, is receiving a lot of attention in the pervasive community to support the development of smart services. Nevertheless, this approach still needs to be adapted to the specificity of the pervasive domain. In particular, issues related to continual learning need to be addressed. In this paper, we present a distillation-based approach dealing with catastrophic forgetting in federated learning scenario. Specifically, Human Activity Recognition tasks are used as a demonstration domain.
