• Title: Fuzzy Temporal Protoforms for the Quantitative Description of Processes in Natural Language
• Authors: Yago Fontenla-Seco, Alberto Bugar\'in-Diz and Manuel Lama
• Abstract summary: The model includes temporal and causal information from processes and attributes, quantifies attributes in time during the process life-span and recalls causal relations and temporal distances between events. A real use-case in the cardiology domain is presented, showing the potential of our model for providing natural language explanations addressed to domain experts.

• Abstract: In this paper, we propose a series of fuzzy temporal protoforms in the framework of the automatic generation of quantitative and qualitative natural language descriptions of processes. The model includes temporal and causal information from processes and attributes, quantifies attributes in time during the process life-span and recalls causal relations and temporal distances between events, among other features. Through integrating process mining techniques and fuzzy sets within the usual Data-to-Text architecture, our framework is able to extract relevant quantitative temporal as well as structural information from a process and describe it in natural language involving uncertain terms. A real use-case in the cardiology domain is presented, showing the potential of our model for providing natural language explanations addressed to domain experts.

  Natural learning processes rely on mechanisms where data representation and learning are intertwined in such a way as to respect locality. We show that the algorithmic interpretation of the derived "laws of learning", which takes the structure of Hamiltonian equations, reduces to Backpropagation when the speed of propagation goes to infinity. This opens the doors to machine learning based on full on-line information that are based the replacement of Backpropagation with the proposed local algorithm.

  We analyze tasks covering syntax, semantics and reasoning, across 2M pre-training steps and five seeds. We identify critical learning phases across tasks and time, during which subspaces emerge, share information, and later disentangle to specialize. Our findings have implications for model interpretability, multi-task learning, and learning from limited data.

P2T integrates three AI paradigms: process mining for extracting temporal and structural information from a process, fuzzy linguistic protoforms for modelling uncertain terms, and natural language generation for building the explanations. A real use-case in the cardiology domain is presented, showing the potential of P2T for providing natural language explanations addressed to specialists.
