Generating Rules to Filter Candidate Triples for their Correctness Checking by Knowledge Graph Completion Techniques

Knowledge Graphs (KGs) contain large amounts of structured information. Due to their inherent incompleteness, a process known as KG completion is often carried out to find the missing triples in a KG, usually by training a fact checking model that is able to discern between correct and incorrect knowledge. After the fact checking model has been trained and evaluated, it has to be applied to a set of candidate triples, and those that are considered correct are added to the KG as new knowledge. However, this process needs a set of candidate triples of a reasonable size that represents possible new knowledge, in order to be evaluated by the fact checking task and, if considered to be correct, added to the KG, enriching it. Current approaches for selecting candidate triples for their correctness checking either use the full set possible missing candidate triples (and thus provide no filtering) or apply very basic rules to filter out unlikely candidates, which may have a negative effect on the completion performance as very few candidate triples are filtered out. In this paper we present CHAI, a method for producing more complex rules that are able to filter candidate triples by combining a set of criteria to optimize a fitness function. Our experiments show that CHAI is able to generate rules that, when applied, yield smaller candidate sets than similar proposals while still including promising candidate triples.Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad TIN2016-75394-

Multi-task Neural Network for Non-discrete Attribute Prediction in Knowledge Graphs

Many popular knowledge graphs such as Freebase, YAGO or DBPedia maintain a list of non-discrete attributes for each entity. Intuitively, these attributes such as height, price or population count are able to richly characterize entities in knowledge graphs. This additional source of information may help to alleviate the inherent sparsity and incompleteness problem that are prevalent in knowledge graphs. Unfortunately, many state-of-the-art relational learning models ignore this information due to the challenging nature of dealing with non-discrete data types in the inherently binary-natured knowledge graphs. In this paper, we propose a novel multi-task neural network approach for both encoding and prediction of non-discrete attribute information in a relational setting. Specifically, we train a neural network for triplet prediction along with a separate network for attribute value regression. Via multi-task learning, we are able to learn representations of entities, relations and attributes that encode information about both tasks. Moreover, such attributes are not only central to many predictive tasks as an information source but also as a prediction target. Therefore, models that are able to encode, incorporate and predict such information in a relational learning context are highly attractive as well. We show that our approach outperforms many state-of-the-art methods for the tasks of relational triplet classification and attribute value prediction.Comment: Accepted at CIKM 201

Meta-Learning with Dynamic-Memory-Based Prototypical Network for Few-Shot Event Detection

Event detection (ED), a sub-task of event extraction, involves identifying triggers and categorizing event mentions. Existing methods primarily rely upon supervised learning and require large-scale labeled event datasets which are unfortunately not readily available in many real-life applications. In this paper, we consider and reformulate the ED task with limited labeled data as a Few-Shot Learning problem. We propose a Dynamic-Memory-Based Prototypical Network (DMB-PN), which exploits Dynamic Memory Network (DMN) to not only learn better prototypes for event types, but also produce more robust sentence encodings for event mentions. Differing from vanilla prototypical networks simply computing event prototypes by averaging, which only consume event mentions once, our model is more robust and is capable of distilling contextual information from event mentions for multiple times due to the multi-hop mechanism of DMNs. The experiments show that DMB-PN not only deals with sample scarcity better than a series of baseline models but also performs more robustly when the variety of event types is relatively large and the instance quantity is extremely small.Comment: Accepted by WSDM 202

DMLR: Data-centric Machine Learning Research -- Past, Present and Future

Drawing from discussions at the inaugural DMLR workshop at ICML 2023 and meetings prior, in this report we outline the relevance of community engagement and infrastructure development for the creation of next-generation public datasets that will advance machine learning science. We chart a path forward as a collective effort to sustain the creation and maintenance of these datasets and methods towards positive scientific, societal and business impact.Comment: This editorial report accompanies the inaugural Data-centric Machine Learning Research (DMLR) Workshop that took place at ICML 2023 https://dmlr.ai

Introducing v0.5 of the AI Safety Benchmark from MLCommons

This paper introduces v0.5 of the AI Safety Benchmark, which has been created by the MLCommons AI Safety Working Group. The AI Safety Benchmark has been designed to assess the safety risks of AI systems that use chat-tuned language models. We introduce a principled approach to specifying and constructing the benchmark, which for v0.5 covers only a single use case (an adult chatting to a general-purpose assistant in English), and a limited set of personas (i.e., typical users, malicious users, and vulnerable users). We created a new taxonomy of 13 hazard categories, of which 7 have tests in the v0.5 benchmark. We plan to release version 1.0 of the AI Safety Benchmark by the end of 2024. The v1.0 benchmark will provide meaningful insights into the safety of AI systems. However, the v0.5 benchmark should not be used to assess the safety of AI systems. We have sought to fully document the limitations, flaws, and challenges of v0.5. This release of v0.5 of the AI Safety Benchmark includes (1) a principled approach to specifying and constructing the benchmark, which comprises use cases, types of systems under test (SUTs), language and context, personas, tests, and test items; (2) a taxonomy of 13 hazard categories with definitions and subcategories; (3) tests for seven of the hazard categories, each comprising a unique set of test items, i.e., prompts. There are 43,090 test items in total, which we created with templates; (4) a grading system for AI systems against the benchmark; (5) an openly available platform, and downloadable tool, called ModelBench that can be used to evaluate the safety of AI systems on the benchmark; (6) an example evaluation report which benchmarks the performance of over a dozen openly available chat-tuned language models; (7) a test specification for the benchmark

Linear Feature Extractors Based on Mutual Information

This paper presents and evaluates two linear feature extractors based on mutual information. These feature extractors consider general dependencies between features and class labels, as opposed to well known linear methods such as PCA which does not consider class labels and LDA, which uses only simple low order dependencies. As evidenced by several simulations on high dimensional data sets, the proposed techniques provide superior feature extraction and better dimensionality reduction while having similar computational requirements. 1. Introduction The capabilities of a classifier are ultimately limited by the quality of the features in each input vector. In particular, when the measurement space is highdimensional but the number of samples is limited, one is faced with the "curse of dimensionality" problem during training [3]. Feature extraction is often used to alleviate this problem. Although linear feature extractors are ultimately less flexible than the more general non-linear ..
