• Abstract: Human knowledge is largely implicit and relational -- do we have a friend in common? can I walk from here to there? In this work, we leverage the combinatorial structure of graphs to quantify human priors over such relational data. Our experiments focus on two domains that have been continuously relevant over evolutionary timescales: social interaction and spatial navigation. We find that some features of the inferred priors are remarkably consistent, such as the tendency for sparsity as a function of graph size. Other features are domain-specific, such as the propensity for triadic closure in social interactions. More broadly, our work demonstrates how nonclassical statistical analysis of indirect behavioral experiments can be used to efficiently model latent biases in the data.

  Social robot navigation can be helpful in various contexts of daily life but requires safe human-robot interactions and efficient trajectory planning. We propose a systematic relational reasoning approach with explicit inference of the underlying dynamically evolving relational structures. We demonstrate its effectiveness for multi-agent trajectory prediction and social robot navigation.

  We propose a set of visual analytics methods that allow humans to participate in the discovery of causal relations associated with windows of time delay. Specifically, we leverage a well-established method, logic-based causality, to enable analysts to test the significance of potential causes. Since an effect can be a cause of other effects, we allow users to aggregate different temporal cause-effect relations found with our method into a visual flow diagram.

• Modeling Memory Imprints Induced by Interactions in Social Networks [0.0]
  Despite the importance of relationships in social networks, there is little work exploring how interactions over extended periods correlate with people's memory imprints of relationship importance. In this paper, we represent memory dynamics by adapting a well-known cognitive science model. We find that this model, trained on one population, predicts not only on this population but also on a different one, suggesting the universality of memory imprints of social interactions among unrelated individuals.

  We aim to identify the nonverbal cues and computational methodologies resulting in effective performance. This survey differs from its counterparts by involving the widest spectrum of social phenomena and interaction settings. Some major observations are: the most often used nonverbal cue, computational method, interaction environment, and sensing approach are speaking activity, support vector machines, and meetings composed of 3-4 persons equipped with microphones and cameras, respectively.

  We present the first systematic comparison of state-of-the-art approaches for behavior forecasting. Our best attention-based approaches achieve state-of-the-art performance in UDIVA v0.5. We show that by autoregressively predicting the future with methods trained for the short-term future, we outperform the baselines even for a considerably longer-term future.
