Talk by David Cerna: Predicate invention in Popper - When what is known is not enough

26.06.2024 15:00

This talk will introduce Predicate Invention (PI) within inductive logic programming, explain why it is useful, and explain what types of predicate invention exist. This introduction is followed by a discussion of PI in Popper and David's work on extending the system by higher-order definitions and negated invented predicates. David will also cover current issues with PI and its use in applications. Speaker's academic bio: David Cerna is currently a Tenure-Track Researcher at the Czech Academy of Sciences Institute of Computer Science in the Department of Artificial Intelligence. He received his PhD in computer science from the Technical University of Vienna, and from 2015 to 2020, he worked as a postdoc on several projects at Johannes Kepler University. His research interests range from unification theory, automated reasoning, inductive synthesis, and proof theory.

Talk by Josef Kittler: Information theoretic approach to deep learning

11.06.2024 14:00

Information divergence, which measures the distance between two probability distributions, has been the workhorse underpinning most of the objective functions for training deep neural networks advocated in the literature. We argue that this information measure is unable to pick the most robust solution from a potential set of candidates, which may impact on its generalisation properties. To address this problem, we propose an entropy regularised divergence as a loss function for training. We will show that this leads to a solution akin to multiple classifier fusion. The intricacies of its implementation will be discussed, as well as its relationship to contrastive learning in general, and the Nearest Proxy Triplet learning in particular.

Přednáška proběhne před valnou hromadou ČSKI ve 14 hod. 11.6.2024, v budově ČVUT, CIIRC, (Jug. partyzánů 3, Praha 6 - Dejvice), Červená posluchárna (vstup do budovy B, doprava po skleněném schodišti, první dveře vlevo (2. patro), po směrových šipkách bude možné využít i výtah).

Announcement: The 17th International Rule Challenge, as part of DeclarativeAI, Oslo, Norway

08.09.2023

Rule Challenge je zavedená přátelská soutěž mezi inovativními systémy využívajícími pravidla, typicky se jedná o software, prototypy nebo aplikační výzkum ve vztahu k pravidlovým technologiím, jako je například učení pravidel (rule learning, ILP). Akceptovány jsou příspěvky ve dvou kategoriích: 1) samotné soutěžní články a 2) návrhy na specifické výzvy pro příští ročník. Kromě otevřené soutěže je tento rok vypsána výzva "Rule Engines Benchmarking, submitted by Kevin Angele, Semantic Technology Institute, University of Innsbruck, Austria". Minulé ročníky byly publikovány ve sbornících CEUR-WS (indexován Scopus).

Conference: The third International Workshop on Explainable and Interpretable Machine Learning (XI-ML) co-located with ECAI 2023, Krakow, Poland.

30.09.2023 - 01.10.2023

Tento workshop o vysvětlitelném strojovém učení se zaměřuje se na interpretovatelné metody a modely, které jsou schopny vysvětlit sebe a svůj výstup. Workshop si klade za cíl poskytnout interdisciplinární fórum pro zkoumání základních problémů vysvětlitelného a interpretovatelného strojového učení a také diskutovat o trendech a výzvách v této oblasti. Minulé ročníky byly publikovány ve sbornících CEUR-WS (indexován Scopus). U aktuálního ročníku je možné, že bude sborník společný s ostatními workshopy v rámci ECAI. Zde se uvažuje o řadě Springer CCIS (Communications in Computer and Information Science), jejíž minulé ročníky byly také indexované ve Scopusu.
