Private international law (PIL) addresses overlaps and conflicts between legal systems by distributing cases between the authorities of such systems (jurisdiction) and establishing what rules these authorities have to apply to each case(choice of law). A modular argumentation tool, Arg-tuProlog, is here presented that enables reasoning with rules and interpretations of multiple legal systems.

Enhancing Telepresence Robots with AI: Combining Services to Personalize and React

NeuroEvolution Strategies (NES) are a subclass of Evolution Strategies (ES). While their application to games and board games have been studied in the past [11], current state of the art in most of the games is still held by classic RL models, such as AlphaGo Zero [16]. This is despite recent work showing their desirable properties [12]. In this paper we use NES applied to the board game Hnefatafl, a known hard environment given its asymmetrical nature. In the experiment we set up we coevolve two populations of intelligent agents. With results collected thus far we show the validity of this approach and useful techniques to overcome its large computation resource and time requirements.

Tafl-ES: Exploring Evolution Strategies for Asymmetrical Board Games

In this paper we present a novel mechanism to get explanations that allow to better understand network predictions when dealing with sequential data. Specifically, we adopt memory-based networks — Differential Neural Computers — to exploit their capability of storing data in memory and reusing it for inference. By tracking both the memory access at prediction time, and the information stored by the network at each step of the input sequence, we can retrieve the most relevant input steps associated to each prediction. We validate our approach (1) on a modified T-maze, which is a non-Markovian discrete control task evaluating an algorithm’s ability to correlate events far apart in history, and (2) on the Story Cloze Test, which is a commonsense reasoning framework for evaluating story understanding that requires a system to choose the correct ending to a four-sentence story. Our results show that we are able to explain agent’s decisions in (1) and to reconstruct the most relevant sentences used by the network to select the story ending in (2). Additionally, we show not only that by removing those sentences the network prediction changes, but also that the same are sufficient to reproduce the inference.

Image recognition systems have evolved so much that they can actually be exploited to solve significant challenges today, such as facilitating communication for people with hearing impairments relying on sign languages. This project aims to apply deep learning and fine-tuning techniques to build an automatic recognition system for the Italian Sign Language (LIS). More specifically, our goal is a real-time image recognition system capable of accurately identifying the letters of the LIS alphabet provided by a user in a Human Computer Interaction (HCI) framework by means of Python’s Open Source Computer Vision (OpenCV) library and two models based on convolutional neural networks, namely CNN and VGG19, applied for large-scale image and video recognition. In addition to testing the performance of different architectures, our work constitutes a novel step towards the application of automatic image recognition techniques with the recently acknowledged LIS and a lately released open-source dataset, also representing the only source available for this type of research on single-handed isolated signs. This project may not only play a role in the interpretation and learning of the Italian Sign Language, encouraging its spread and study, but also in the inclusion of hearing-impaired individuals in the language research domain.

Real-time Italian Sign Language Recognition with Deep Learning

In this paper we present ArabCeleb, a dataset collected in the wild that specifically focuses on arabic language. The proposed dataset contains utterances from 100 celebrities taken from video on YouTube.com. The dataset might be used for several speaker recognition tasks: identification, verification, gender recognition as well as multimodal recognition tasks thus integrating audio and video tracks. To complete our study, we evaluated the most recent state-of-the-art methods for speaker recognition by measuring robustness as the length of the utterances increases.

This paper describes an application of textual similarity techniques in the Legal Informatics domain. In European law, a relevant interest relates to the transposition of EU directives by the Member States, which can be complete, partial, or eventually absent. As part of an European project, legal experts annotated transpositions of six directives on a per-article basis. Following an established NLP pipeline, we explore a similarity-based technique to identify correspondences between transpositions of national implementations. Early results are promising and show the role that Artificial Intelligence may play within the process of harmonization and standardization of domestic legal systems as a result of the adoption of EU legislation.

Exploiting textual similarity techniques in harmonization of laws

Biological data and knowledge bases increasingly rely on Semantic Web technologies and the use of knowledge graphs for data integration, retrieval and federated queries. We propose a solution for automatically semantifying biological assays. Our solution contrasts the problem of automated semantification as labeling versus clustering where the two methods are on opposite ends of the method complexity spectrum. Characteristically modeling our problem, we find the clustering solution significantly outperforms a deep neural network state-of-the-art labeling approach. This novel contribution is based on two factors: 1) a learning objective closely modeled after the data outperforms an alternative approach with sophisticated semantic modeling; 2) automatically semantifying biological assays achieves a high performance F1 of nearly 83%, which to our knowledge is the first reported standardized evaluation of the task offering a strong benchmark model.
