As AI models grow larger, they become less insightful, not more. To ensure that they continue to learn, we need to reduce their inference time.
How do you match AI warnings about future events with what actually happens? A KDD test-of-time award recognizes a 2014 approach that modern systems still need.
In-context learning enables a model that can solve forecasting tasks with an arbitrary number of dimensions in a zero-shot manner.

ECAI 2023 Workshop on Perspectivist Approaches to NLP2023In the framework of perspectivism, analyzing how people perceive pragmatic phenomena, like irony, is relevant for deeply understanding the different points of view, and for creating more robust perspective-aware models. This paper presents a linguistic analysis of irony perception in 11 perspectivist models. Each model is trained on annotations by crowd-sourcing workers different in gender, age, and nationalities

IJCNLP-AACL 20232023Modern virtual assistants are trained to classify customer requests into a taxonomy of predesigned intents. Requests that fall outside of this taxonomy, however, are often unhandled and need to be clustered to define new experiences. Recently, state-of-the-art results in intent clustering were achieved by training a neural network with a latent structured prediction loss. Unfortunately, though, this new

IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Microarchitecture (MICRO ’23)2023Achieving high performance in machine learning workloads is a crucial yet difficult task. To achieve high runtime performance on hardware platforms such as GPUs, graph-based executions such as CUDA graphs are often used to eliminate CPU runtime overheads by submitting jobs in the granularity of multiple kernels. However, many machine learning workloads, especially dynamic deep neural networks (DNNs) with

ICCV 20232023Multi-turn textual feedback-based fashion image retrieval focuses on a real-world setting, where users can iteratively provide information to refine retrieval results until they find an item that fits all their requirements. In this work, we present a novel memory-based method, called FashionNTM, for such a multi-turn system. Our framework incorporates a new Cascaded Memory Neural Turing Machine (CM-NTM

ICCV 20232023We present the first active learning tool for fine-grained 3D part labeling, a problem which challenges even the most advanced deep learning (DL) methods due to the significant structural variations among the intricate parts. For the same reason, the necessary effort to annotate training data is tremendous, motivating approaches to minimize human involvement. Our labeling tool iteratively verifies or modifies
