• Abstract summary: Organizational knowledge bases are moving from passive archives to active entities in the flow of people's work. We pose a number of open questions that warrant attention and engagement across industry and academia. We wish to enter into the cross-disciplinary discussion we believe is required to tackle the challenge of developing recommender systems that respect social values.

• Abstract: Organizational knowledge bases are moving from passive archives to active entities in the flow of people's work. We are seeing machine learning used to enable systems that both collect and surface information as people are working, making it possible to bring out connections between people and content that were previously much less visible in order to automatically identify and highlight experts on a given topic. When these knowledge bases begin to actively bring attention to people and the content they work on, especially as that work is still ongoing, we run into important challenges at the intersection of work and the social. While such systems have the potential to make certain parts of people's work more productive or enjoyable, they may also introduce new workloads, for instance by putting people in the role of experts for others to reach out to. And these knowledge bases can also have profound social consequences by changing what parts of work are visible and, therefore, acknowledged. We pose a number of open questions that warrant attention and engagement across industry and academia. Addressing these questions is an essential step in ensuring that the future of work becomes a good future for those doing the work. With this position paper, we wish to enter into the cross-disciplinary discussion we believe is required to tackle the challenge of developing recommender systems that respect social values.

  Intrinsic motivations have proven to generate a task-agnostic signal to properly allocate the training time amongst goals. While the majority of works in the field of intrinsically motivated open-ended learning focus on scenarios where goals are independent from each other, only few of them studied the autonomous acquisition of interdependent tasks. In particular, we first deepen the analysis of a previous system, showing the importance of incorporating information about the relationships between tasks at a higher level of the architecture. Then we introduce H-GRAIL, a new system that extends the previous one by adding a new learning layer to store the autonomously acquired sequences
