It is now more than a half-century since the Physical Symbol Systems Hypothesis (PSSH) was first articulated as an empirical hypothesis. More recent evidence from work with neural networks and cognitive architectures has weakened it, but it has not yet been replaced in any satisfactory manner. Based on a rethinking of the nature of computational symbols - as atoms or placeholders - and thus also of the systems in which they participate, a hybrid approach is introduced that responds to these challenges while also helping to bridge the gap between symbolic and neural approaches, resulting in two new hypotheses, one that is to replace the PSSH and the other focused more directly on cognitive architectures.

Sleep stage scoring based on electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is a repetitive task required for basic and clinical sleep studies. Sleep stages are defined on 30 s EEG-epochs from brainwave patterns present in specific frequency bands. Time-frequency representations such as spectrograms can be used as input for deep learning methods. In this paper we compare different spectrograms, encoding multiple EEG channels, as input for a deep network devoted to the recognition of image's visual patterns. We further investigate how contextual input enhance the classification by using EEG-epoch sequences of increasing lengths. We also propose a common evaluation framework to allow a fair comparison between state-of-art methods. Evaluations performed on a standard dataset using this unified protocol show that our method outperforms four state-of-art methods.

Modal logics are widely used in multi-agent systems to reason about actions, abilities, norms, or epistemic states. Combined with description logic languages, they are also a powerful tool to formalise modal aspects of ontology-based reasoning over an object domain. However, the standard relational semantics for modalities is known to validate principles deemed problematic in agency, deontic, or epistemic applications. To overcome these difficulties, weaker systems of so-called non-normal modal logics, equipped with neighbourhood semantics that generalise the relational one, have been investigated both at the propositional and at the description logic level. We present here a family of non-normal modal description logics, obtained by extending ALC-based languages with non-normal modal operators. For formulas interpreted on neighbourhood models over varying domains, we provide a modular framework of terminating, correct, and complete tableau-based satisfiability checking algorithms in NExpTime. For a subset of these systems, we also consider a reduction to satisfiability on constant domain relational models. Moreover, we investigate the satisfiability problem in fragments obtained by disallowing the application of modal operators to description logic concepts, providing tight ExpTime complexity results.

Today, social media is accessible all around the world. It has become an online place for reviewing products or services. Social media is an appealing resource for enterprises looking to monitor user attitudes because of the massive volume of posts. It has gathered much attention in the field of sentiment analysis. Sentiment analysis models could be classified into three categories: Lexicon-based, classical Machine Learning, and Deep Learning model. The classification methods have received a lot of attention in the research area. Although supervised learning algorithms are crucial components, the preprocessing step greatly impacts the accuracy of the sentiment analysis task. In preprocessing, the negation handling method needs to get more attention as the most popular technique creates redundant features. This research proposes a negation handling method that utilizes the lexicon-model VADER (Valence Aware Dictionary for sEntiment Reasoning) for concentrating on high-sentiment words. The proposed negation handling method improves the accuracy of the classical machine learning algorithms Logistic Regression and Naive Bayes. In addition, the research proposes an approach to handling elongated words and emoji characters instead of removing them. An experiment is conducted for a comparison of the proposed methods and the chosen base techniques.

Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) have brought a lot of advancements in sequence labeling tasks and sequence data. However, their effectiveness is limited when the observations in the sequence are irregularly sampled, where the observations arrive at irregular time intervals. To address this, continuous time variants of the RNNs were introduced based on neural ordinary differential equations (NODE). They learn a better representation of the data using the continuous transformation of hidden states over time, taking into account the time interval between the observations. However, they are still limited in their capability as they use the discrete transformations and a fixed discrete number of layers (depth) over an input in the sequence to produce the output observation. We intend to address this limitation by proposing RNNs based on differential equations which model continuous transformations over both depth and time to predict an output for a given input in the sequence. Specifically, we propose continuous depth recurrent neural differential equations (CDR-NDE) which generalize RNN models by continuously evolving the hidden states in both the temporal and depth dimensions. CDR-NDE considers two separate differential equations over each of these dimensions and models the evolution in temporal and depth directions alternatively. We also propose the CDR-NDE-heat model based on partial differential equations which treats the computation of hidden states as solving a heat equation over time. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed models by comparing against the state-of-the-art RNN models on real world sequence labeling problems.

Presidential debates are one of the most salient moments of a presidential campaign, where candidates are challenged to discuss the main contemporary and historical issues in a country. These debates represent a natural ground for argumentative analysis, which has been always employed to investigate political discourse structure in philosophy and linguistics. In this paper, we take the challenge to analyse these debates from the topic modeling and framing perspective, to enrich the investigation of these data. Our contribution is threefold: first, we apply transformer-based language models (i.e., BERT and RoBERTa) to the classification of generic frames showing that these models improve the results presented in the literature for frame identification;second, we investigate the task of topic modelling in political arguments from the U.S. presidential campaign debates, applying an unsupervised machine learning approach;and finally, we discuss various visualisations of the identified topics and frames from these U.S. presidential election debates to allow a further interpretation of such data.

An implicit expectation of asking users to rate agents, such as an AI decision-aid, is that they will use only relevant information-ask them about an agent's benevolence, and they should consider whether or not it was kind. Behavioral science, however, suggests that people sometimes use irrelevant information. We identify an instance of this phenomenon, where users who experience better outcomes in a human-agent interaction systematically rated the agent as having better abilities, being more benevolent, and exhibiting greater integrity in a post hoc assessment than users who experienced worse outcomes-which were the result of their own behavior-with the same agent. Our analyses suggest the need for augmentation of models so they account for such biased perceptions as well as mechanisms so that agents can detect and even actively work to correct this and similar biases of users.

In this paper, we carefully revisit the issues of conventional few-shot learning: i) gaps in highlighted features between objects in support and query samples, and ii) losing the explicit local properties due to global pooled features. Motivated by them, we propose a novel method to enhance robustness in few-shot learning by aligning prototypes with abundantly informed ones. As a way of providing more information, we smoothly augment the support image by carefully manipulating the discriminative part corresponding to the highest attention score to consistently represent the object without distorting the original information. In addition, we leverage word embeddings of each class label to provide abundant feature information, serving as the basis for closing gaps between prototypes of different branches. The two parallel branches of explicit attention modules independently refine support prototypes and information-rich prototypes. Then, the support prototypes are aligned with superior prototypes to mimic rich knowledge of attention-based smooth augmentation and word embeddings. We transfer the imitated knowledge to queries in a task-adaptive manner and cross-adapt the queries and prototypes to generate crucial features for metric-based few-shot learning. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method consistently outperforms existing methods on four benchmark datasets.

Entity matching (EM) is a fundamental task in data integration, which involves identifying records that refer to the same real-world entity. Unsupervised EM is often preferred in real-world applications, as labeling data is often a labor-intensive process. However, existing unsupervised methods may not always perform well because the assumptions for these methods may not hold for tasks in different domains. In this paper, we propose QA-Matcher, an unsupervised EM model that is domain-agnostic and doesn't require any particular assumptions. Our idea is to frame EM as question answering (QA) by utilizing a trained QA model. Specifically, we generate a question that asks which record has the characteristics of a particular record and a passage that describes other records. We then use the trained QA model to predict the record pair that corresponds to the question-answer as a match. QA-Matcher leverages the power of a QA model to represent the semantics of various types of entities, allowing it to identify identical entities in a QA-like fashion. In extensive experiments on 16 real-world datasets, we demonstrate that QA-Matcher outperforms unsupervised EM methods and is competitive with supervised methods.

Goal recognition is an important problem in many application domains (e.g., pervasive computing, intrusion detection, computer games, etc.). In many application scenarios, it is important that goal recognition algorithms can recognize goals of an observed agent as fast as possible. However, many early approaches in the area of Plan Recognition As Planning, require quite large amounts of computation time to calculate a solution. Mainly to address this issue, recently, Pereira et al. developed an approach that is based on planning landmarks and is much more computationally efficient than previous approaches. However, the approach, as proposed by Pereira et al., considers trivial landmarks (i.e., facts that are part of the initial state and goal description are landmarks by definition) for goal recognition. In this paper, we show that it does not provide any benefit to use landmarks that are part of the initial state in a planning landmark based goal recognition approach. The empirical results show that omitting initial state landmarks for goal recognition improves goal recognition performance.
