Title: Extracting actionable information from microtexts
Authors: Ali H\"urriyeto\u{g}lu
Abstract summary: This dissertation proposes a semi-automatic method for extracting actionable information. We show that predicting time to event is possible for both in-domain and cross-domain scenarios. We propose a method to integrate the machine learning based relevant information classification method with a rule-based information classification technique to classify microtexts.

Abstract: Microblogs such as Twitter represent a powerful source of information. Part of this information can be aggregated beyond the level of individual posts. Some of this aggregated information is referring to events that could or should be acted upon in the interest of e-governance, public safety, or other levels of public interest. Moreover, a significant amount of this information, if aggregated, could complement existing information networks in a non-trivial way. This dissertation proposes a semi-automatic method for extracting actionable information that serves this purpose. First, we show that predicting time to event is possible for both in-domain and cross-domain scenarios. Second, we suggest a method which facilitates the definition of relevance for an analyst's context and the use of this definition to analyze new data. Finally, we propose a method to integrate the machine learning based relevant information classification method with a rule-based information classification technique to classify microtexts. Fully automatizing microtext analysis has been our goal since the first day of this research project. Our efforts in this direction informed us about the extent this automation can be realized. We mostly first developed an automated approach, then we extended and improved it by integrating human intervention at various steps of the automated approach. Our experience confirms previous work that states that a well-designed human intervention or contribution in design, realization, or evaluation of an information system either improves its performance or enables its realization. As our studies and results directed us toward its necessity and value, we were inspired from previous studies in designing human involvement and customized our approaches to benefit from human input.

Time Series Analysis of Key Societal Events as Reflected in Complex Social Media Data Streams [0.9790236766474201]
This study investigates narrative evolution on a niche social media platform GAB and an established messaging service Telegram. Our approach is a novel mode to study multiple social media domains to distil key information which may be obscured otherwise. The main findings are: (1) the time line can be deconstructed to provide useful data features allowing for improved interpretation; (2) a methodology is applied which provides a basis for generalization.

Revisiting Self-supervised Learning of Speech Representation from a Mutual Information Perspective [68.20531518525273]
We take a closer look into existing self-supervised methods of speech from an information-theoretic perspective. We use linear probes to estimate the mutual information between the target information and learned representations. We explore the potential of evaluating representations in a self-supervised fashion, where we estimate the mutual information between different parts of the data without using any labels.

Learning active tactile perception through belief-space control [21.708391958446274]
We propose a method that autonomously learns tactile exploration policies by developing a generative world model. We evaluate our method on three simulated tasks where the goal is to estimate a desired object property. We find that our method is able to discover policies that efficiently gather information about the desired property in an intuitive manner.

End-to-end Autonomous Driving using Deep Learning: A Systematic Review [0.0]
End-to-end autonomous driving is a fully differentiable machine learning system that takes raw sensor input data and other metadata as prior information and directly outputs the ego vehicle's control signals or planned trajectories. This paper attempts to systematically review all recent Machine Learning-based techniques to perform this end-to-end task, including, but not limited to, object detection, semantic scene understanding, object tracking, trajectory predictions, trajectory planning, vehicle control, social behavior, and communications.

Human-Centric Multimodal Machine Learning: Recent Advances and Testbed on AI-based Recruitment [66.91538273487379]
There is a certain consensus about the need to develop AI applications with a Human-Centric approach. Human-Centric Machine Learning needs to be developed based on four main requirements: (i) utility and social good; (ii) privacy and data ownership; (iii) transparency and accountability; and (iv) fairness in AI-driven decision-making processes. We study how current multimodal algorithms based on heterogeneous sources of information are affected by sensitive elements and inner biases in the data.

Human-in-the-Loop Disinformation Detection: Stance, Sentiment, or Something Else? [93.91375268580806]
Both politics and pandemics have recently provided ample motivation for the development of machine learning-enabled disinformation (a.k.a. fake news) detection algorithms. Existing literature has focused primarily on the fully-automated case, but the resulting techniques cannot reliably detect disinformation on the varied topics, sources, and time scales required for military applications. By leveraging an already-available analyst as a human-in-the-loop, canonical machine learning techniques of sentiment analysis, aspect-based sentiment analysis, and stance detection become plausible methods to use for a partially-automated disinformation detection system.

Human Activity Recognition using Attribute-Based Neural Networks and Context Information [61.67246055629366]
We consider human activity recognition (HAR) from wearable sensor data in manual-work processes. We show how context information can be integrated systematically into a deep neural network-based HAR system. We empirically show that our proposed architecture increases HAR performance, compared to state-of-the-art methods.
