Simplifying Multilingual News Clustering Through Projection From a Shared Space

The task of organizing and clustering multilingual news articles for media monitoring is essential to follow news stories in real time. Most approaches to this task focus on high-resource languages, with low-resource languages being disregarded. With that in mind, we … Read More

From Captions to Natural Language Explanations

The growing importance of the Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) field has resulted in the proposal of several methods for producing visual heatmaps of the classification decisions of deep learning models. However, visual explanations are not enough since different end-users have … Read More

Revealing semantic and emotional structure of suicide notes

Understanding how people who commit suicide perceive their cognitive states and emotions represents a crucially open scientific challenge. We build upon cognitive network science, psycholinguistics, and semantic frame theory to introduce a network representation of suicidal ideation as expressed in … Read More

NLP at Cleverly and Multilingual Email Zoning

Cleverly is an end-to-end AI layer for customer service platforms that provides intelligent automation and efficiency and unlike others is easy to use. We reduce the effort agents spend on repetitive tasks and searching for the right information, giving them … Read More

Fact-checking as a conversation

Misinformation is considered one of the major challenges of our times resulting in numerous efforts against it. Fact-checking, the task of assessing whether a claim is true or false, is considered a key weapon in reducing its impact. In the … Read More

Visual Attention with Sparse and Continuous Transformations

Visual attention mechanisms have become an important component of neural network models for Computer Vision applications, allowing them to attend to finite sets of objects or regions and identify relevant features. A key component of attention mechanisms is the differentiable … Read More

Explainability for Sequential Decision-Making

Machine learning has been used to aid decision-making in several domains, from healthcare to finance. Understanding the decision process of ML models is paramount in high-stakes decisions that impact people’s lives, otherwise, loss of control and lack of trust may … Read More

A brief history of Spoken Language Understanding

Spoken Language Understanding consists in extracting semantic information conveyed by speech signal in order to project it into a representation manageable by a software application. This research topic encompasses several tasks like domain classification, named entity recognition, slot filling… By … Read More
