Bayesian Optimization for Controlled Image Editing via LLMs
In the rapidly evolving field of image generation, achieving precise control over generated content and maintaining semantic consistency remain significant limitations, particularly concerning...
Traffic Control via Connected and Automated Vehicles: An Open-Road Field Experiment with 100 CAVs
The CIRCLES project aims to reduce instabilities in traffic flow, which are naturally occurring phenomena due to human driving behavior. These "phantom jams" or "stop-and-go waves,"are a...
SQuadMDS: a lean Stochastic Quartet MDS improving global structure preservation in neighbor embedding like t-SNE and UMAP
Multidimensional scaling is a statistical process that aims to embed high dimensional data into a lower-dimensional space; this process is often used for the purpose of data visualisation. Common...
Hierarchical Optimal Transport for Multimodal Distribution Alignment
In many machine learning applications, it is necessary to meaningfully aggregate, through alignment, different but related datasets. Optimal transport (OT)-based approaches pose alignment as a...
DICE: Deep Significance Clustering for Outcome-Aware Stratification
We present deep significance clustering (DICE), a framework for jointly performing representation learning and clustering for "outcome-aware" stratification. DICE is intended to generate cluster...
You can't always sketch what you want: Understanding Sensemaking in Visual Query Systems
Visual query systems (VQSs) empower users to interactively search for line charts with desired visual patterns, typically specified using intuitive sketch-based interfaces. Despite decades of past...
Blue Sky Ideas in Artificial Intelligence Education from the EAAI 2017 New and Future AI Educator Program
The 7th Symposium on Educational Advances in Artificial Intelligence (EAAI'17, co-chaired by Sven Koenig and Eric Eaton) launched the EAAI New and Future AI Educator Program to support the...
Characterizing Scalability Issues in Spreadsheet Software using Online Forums
In traditional usability studies, researchers talk to users of tools to understand their needs and challenges. Insights gained via such interviews offer context, detail, and background. Due to...
