Mining Semantic Knowledge Graphs To Add Explainability To Black Box Recommender Systems, Mohammed Alshammari, Olfa Nasraoui, Scott Sanders
Mining Semantic Knowledge Graphs To Add Explainability To Black Box Recommender Systems, Mohammed Alshammari, Olfa Nasraoui, Scott Sanders
Faculty Scholarship
Recommender systems are being increasingly used to predict the preferences of users on online platforms and recommend relevant options that help them cope with information overload. In particular, modern model-based collaborative filtering algorithms, such as latent factor models, are considered state-of-the-art in recommendation systems. Unfortunately, these black box systems lack transparency, as they provide little information about the reasoning behind their predictions. White box systems, in contrast, can, by nature, easily generate explanations. However, their predictions are less accurate than sophisticated black box models. Recent research has demonstrated that explanations are an essential component in bringing the powerful predictions of …

Exploring The Behavior Repertoire Of A Wireless Vibrationally Actuated Tensegrity Robot, Zongliang Ji
Honors Theses
Soft robotics is an emerging field of research due to its potential to explore and operate in unstructured, rugged, and dynamic environments. However, the properties that make soft robots compelling also make them difficult to robustly control. Here at Union, we developed the world’s first wireless soft tensegrity robot. The goal of my thesis is to explore effective and efficient methods to explore the diverse behavior our tensegrity robot. We will achieve that by applying state-of-art machine learning technique and a novelty search algorithm.

The accelerated digitalisation of both people and business around the world today is having a huge impact on the investment management and advisory space. The addition of new and vastly larger data sets, as well as exponentially more sophisticated analytical tools to turn that data into usable information is constantly changing the way investments are decided on, made and managed.
Research On Interaction Model Of Hand Tracking Based On Cognitive Theory, Shaobai Zhang, Zhang Teng
Research On Interaction Model Of Hand Tracking Based On Cognitive Theory, Shaobai Zhang, Zhang Teng
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: This paper aims to solve the problems in a vector integration to endpoint (VITE) model of human reaching and grasping under perturbations of object size, distance and orientation. We discuss how to reduce the numbers of disturbances of three main kinds of components: hand/wrist transport, grip aperture and hand orientation. Based on the achievements of cognitive psychology, and a tracking and cognitive model for operational 3D gestures, this paper proposes a new divide-and-conquer model that is used for indicating current grasping status and to trigger three main kinds of methods of when to start or stop working. The model …

From Situation Cognition Stepped Into Situation Intelligent Cognition, Zhu Feng, Xiaofeng Hu, Wu Lin, Xiaoyuan He, Xuezhi Lü, Liao Ying
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: Aimed at operational situation cognition and some relevant problems under the background of the Joint-Tactical, some deep researches are carried out in this paper. The concept models of combat situation cognition and situation intelligent cognition are proposed respectively, and some related concepts are clarified. The situation intelligent cognition technology framework is proposed, and five key problems which should be solved are analyzed, and the possible technical routes are given. These research contents and achievements build a foundation for stepping into the situation intelligent cognition from combat situation cognition.

Transparency And Algorithmic Governance, Cary Coglianese, David Lehr
Transparency And Algorithmic Governance, Cary Coglianese, David Lehr
All Faculty Scholarship
Machine-learning algorithms are improving and automating important functions in medicine, transportation, and business. Government officials have also started to take notice of the accuracy and speed that such algorithms provide, increasingly relying on them to aid with consequential public-sector functions, including tax administration, regulatory oversight, and benefits administration. Despite machine-learning algorithms’ superior predictive power over conventional analytic tools, algorithmic forecasts are difficult to understand and explain. Machine learning’s “black-box” nature has thus raised concern: Can algorithmic governance be squared with legal principles of governmental transparency? We analyze this question and conclude that machine-learning algorithms’ relative inscrutability does not pose a …
