Cluster-DAGs improve causal discovery with prior knowledge.
One of the key advantages of Inductive Logic Programming systems is the ability of the domain experts to provide background knowledge as modes that allow for efficient search through the space of hypotheses. However, there is an inherent assumption that this expert should also be an ILP expert to provide effective mode…
The paper improves Gaussian processes by adding sum constraints, enhancing prediction accuracy.
Assessing the quality of discovered results is an important open problem in data mining. Such assessment is particularly vital when mining itemsets, since commonly many of the discovered patterns can be easily explained by background knowledge. The simplest approach to screen uninteresting patterns is to compare the ob…

Paper proposes a novel RRL framework that learns from images and incorporates expert knowledge.
Enhances machine learning with background knowledge through feature generation.
Knowledge graphs are used to represent relational information in terms of triples. To enable learning about domains, embedding models, such as tensor factorization models, can be used to make predictions of new triples. Often there is background taxonomic information (in terms of subclasses and subproperties) that shou…
Most work in machine reading focuses on question answering problems where the answer is directly expressed in the text to read. However, many real-world question answering problems require the reading of text not because it contains the literal answer, but because it contains a recipe to derive an answer together with …

New algorithm improves causal discovery in biomedical data.
This paper integrates LLMs into SCD to improve causal inference accuracy.
The paper improves neural network predictions by integrating process knowledge.
Adversarial examples are inputs to machine learning models designed to cause the model to make a mistake. They are useful for understanding the shortcomings of machine learning models, interpreting their results, and for regularisation. In NLP, however, most example generation strategies produce input text by using kno…
New method finds ideal circle patterns on spheres.
Semantic Image Interpretation is the task of extracting a structured semantic description from images. This requires the detection of visual relationships: triples (subject,relation,object) describing a semantic relation between a subject and an object. A pure supervised approach to visual relationship detection requir…
Study infinite combinatorial Ricci flow on spherical surfaces.
Paper introduces combinatorial Ricci flows on infinite disk triangulations.
Although we have tons of machine learning tools to analyze data, most of them require users have some programming backgrounds. Here we introduce a SaaS application which allows users analyze their data without any coding and even without any knowledge of machine learning. Users can upload, train, predict and download t…

The recent advances in computer-assisted learning systems and the availability of open educational resources today promise a pathway to providing cost-efficient, high-quality education to large masses of learners. One of the most ambitious use cases of computer-assisted learning is to build a lifelong learning recommen…
An explorative data analysis system should be aware of what the user already knows and what the user wants to know of the data: otherwise the system cannot provide the user with the most informative and useful views of the data. We propose a principled way to do exploratory data analysis, where the user's background kn…
The aim of this paper is to provide a gentle introduction to Chabauty topology, while very little background knowledge is assumed. As an example, we provide pictures for the Chabauty space of C*. Note that the description of this space is not new; however the pictures are novel.
Defines explainability as reasoning under background knowledge.
We present a family of novel methods for embedding knowledge graphs into real-valued tensors. These tensor-based embeddings capture the ordered relations that are typical in the knowledge graphs represented by semantic web languages like RDF. Unlike many previous models, our methods can easily use prior background know…
Class lecture notes at a beginning graduate level on the mathematical background needed to understand classical gauge theory. Covers group actions, fiber bundles, principal bundles, connections, gauge transformations, parallel transport, curvature, covariant derivatives, pseudo-riemannian manifolds, lagrangians, cliffo…
We consider learning ancestral causal relationships in high dimensions. Our approach is driven by a supervised learning perspective, with discrete indicators of causal relationships treated as labels to be learned from available data. We focus on the setting in which some causal (ancestral) relationships are known (via…
Two methods factor out prior knowledge from low-dimensional embeddings.
New formalism solves kinematical constraints in curved backgrounds and non-trivial states.
Knowledge graphs contain knowledge about the world and provide a structured representation of this knowledge. Current knowledge graphs contain only a small subset of what is true in the world. Link prediction approaches aim at predicting new links for a knowledge graph given the existing links among the entities. Tenso…
Constraint-based clustering algorithms exploit background knowledge to construct clusterings that are aligned with the interests of a particular user. This background knowledge is often obtained by allowing the clustering system to pose pairwise queries to the user: should these two elements be in the same cluster or n…
Releasing full data records is one of the most challenging problems in data privacy. On the one hand, many of the popular techniques such as data de-identification are problematic because of their dependence on the background knowledge of adversaries. On the other hand, rigorous methods such as the exponential mechanis…
One of the most ambitious use cases of computer-assisted learning is to build a recommendation system for lifelong learning. Most recommender algorithms exploit similarities between content and users, overseeing the necessity to leverage sensible learning trajectories for the learner. Lifelong learning thus presents un…

In particular, the paper proposes to use a first-order-logic language grounded in deep neural …
