Human annotations serve an important role in computational models where the target constructs under study are hidden, such as dimensions of affect. This is especially relevant in machine learning, where subjective labels derived from related observable signals (e.g., audio, video, text) are needed to support model training and testing. Current research trends focus on correcting artifacts and biases introduced by annotators during the annotation process while fusing them into a single annotation. In this work, we propose a novel annotation approach using triplet embeddings. By lifting the absolute annotation process to relative annotations where the annotator compares individual target constructs in triplets, we leverage the accuracy of comparisons over absolute ratings by human annotators. We then build a 1-dimensional embedding in Euclidean space that is indexed in time and serves as a label for regression. In this setting, the annotation fusion occurs naturally as a union of sets of sampled triplet comparisons among different annotators. We show that by using our proposed sampling method to find an embedding, we are able to accurately represent synthetic hidden constructs in time under noisy sampling conditions. We further validate this approach using human annotations collected from Mechanical Turk and show that we can recover the underlying structure of the hidden construct up to bias and scaling factors.
A significant challenge for a supervised learning approach to inertial human activity recognition is the heterogeneity of data between individual users, resulting in very poor performance of impersonal algorithms for some subjects. We present an appr
For many analytical problems the challenge is to handle huge amounts of available data. However, there are data science application areas where collecting information is difficult and costly, e.g., in the study of geological phenomena, rare diseases,
We propose to analyse the conditional distributional treatment effect (CoDiTE), which, in contrast to the more common conditional average treatment effect (CATE), is designed to encode a treatments distributional aspects beyond the mean. We first int
We propose a novel method, termed SuMo-net, that uses partially monotonic neural networks to learn a time-to-event distribution from a sample of covariates and right-censored times. SuMo-net models the survival function and the density jointly, and o
Depending on the application, radiological diagnoses can be associated with high inter- and intra-rater variabilities. Most computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) solutions treat such data as incontrovertible, exposing learning algorithms to considerable and
