Context Retrieval via Normalized Contextual Latent Interaction for Conversational Agent

Liu, J., Mei, Z., Peng, K., & Vatsavai, R. R. (2023, December 4). 2023 23RD IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DATA MINING WORKSHOPS, ICDMW 2023, pp. 1543–1550.

By: J. Liu n, Z. Mei n, K. Peng n & R. Vatsavai n 

topics (OpenAlex): Topic Modeling; Speech and dialogue systems; Multimodal Machine Learning Applications
TL;DR: A novel method is presented, PK-NCLI, that is able to accurately and efficiently identify relevant auxiliary information to improve the quality of conversational responses by learning the relevance among persona, chat history, and knowledge background through lowlevel normalized contextual latent interaction.

VEER: enhancing the interpretability of model-based optimizations

Peng, K., Kaltenecker, C., Siegmund, N., Apel, S., & Menzies, T. (2023, April 4). Empirical Software Engineering, Vol. 28.

By: K. Peng n, C. Kaltenecker *, N. Siegmund *, S. Apel * & T. Menzies n 

author keywords: Software analytics; Multi-objective optimization; Disagreement; Interpretable AI
topics (OpenAlex): Software Engineering Research; Advanced Multi-Objective Optimization Algorithms; Software Reliability and Analysis Research
TL;DR: A dimension reduction method called VEER is proposed that builds a useful one-dimensional approximation to the original N-objective space that improves the execution time, but also resolves the potential model disagreement problem. (via Semantic Scholar)

FairMask: Better Fairness via Model-Based Rebalancing of Protected Attributes

Peng, K., Chakraborty, J., & Menzies, T. (2022, November 15). IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, Vol. 49, pp. 2426–2439.

By: K. Peng n, J. Chakraborty n & T. Menzies n 

author keywords: Software fairness; explanation; bias mitigation
topics (OpenAlex): Ethics and Social Impacts of AI; Adversarial Robustness in Machine Learning; Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI)
TL;DR: This work proposes a model-based extrapolation method that corrects the misleading latent correlation between the protected attributes and other non-protected ones and achieves significantly better group and individual fairness than benchmark methods. (via Semantic Scholar)

Peng, K., & Menzies, T. (2021, August 18). Documenting evidence of a reuse of ‘“why should I trust you?”: explaining the predictions of any classifier.’ PROCEEDINGS OF THE 29TH ACM JOINT MEETING ON EUROPEAN SOFTWARE ENGINEERING CONFERENCE AND SYMPOSIUM ON THE FOUNDATIONS OF SOFTWARE ENGINEERING (ESEC/FSE '21), pp. 1600–1600.

By: K. Peng n & T. Menzies n 

author keywords: Software analytics; Actionable analysis
topics (OpenAlex): Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI); Topic Modeling; Imbalanced Data Classification Techniques
TL;DR: The framework LIME, a local instance-based explanation generation framework that was originally proposed by Ribeiro et al. in their paper "'Why Should I Trust You?': Explaining the Predictions of Any Classifier", was reused by Peng et al.'s paper "Defect Reduction Planning (using TimeLIME).
