Data-driven algorithms for human-centered autonomy use observed data to compute models of human behavior in order to ensure safety, correctness, and to avoid potential errors that arise at runtime. However, such algorithms often neglect…
Order is one of the main instruments to measure the relationship between objects in (empirical) data. However, compared to methods that use numerical properties of objects, the amount of ordinal methods developed is rather small. One reason…
Hierarchical tables are an important structure for organizing data with inherent hierarchical relationships. Existing studies have extensively explored methods for data fact exploration from tabular data. In particular, some studies have…

Ontologies have been widely used in numerous and varied applications, e.g., to support data modeling, information integration, and knowledge management. With the increasing size of ontologies, ontology understanding, which is playing an…
The skip-gram (SG) model learns word representation by predicting the words surrounding a center word from unstructured text data. However, not all words in the context window contribute to the meaning of the center word. For example, less…
The central nervous system is composed of many individual units -- from cells to areas -- that are connected with one another in a complex pattern of functional interactions that supports perception, action, and cognition. One natural and…
Events in natural videos typically arise from spatio-temporal interactions between actors and objects and involve multiple co-occurring activities and object classes. To capture this rich visual and semantic context, we propose using two…
Natural language definitions of terms can serve as a rich source of knowledge, but structuring them into a comprehensible semantic model is essential to enable them to be used in semantic interpretation tasks. We propose a method and…
Symbolic data analysis (SDA) aggregates large individual-level datasets into a small number of distributional summaries, such as random rectangles or random histograms. The inference is carried out using these summaries in place of the…
The Self-Organizing Map (SOM) is a brain-inspired neural model that is very promising for unsupervised learning, especially in embedded applications. However, it is unable to learn efficient prototypes when dealing with complex datasets. We…
A data graph is a convenient paradigm for supporting keyword search that takes into account available semantic structure and not just textual relevance. However, the problem of constructing data graphs that facilitate both efficiency and…
Knowledge graphs and ontologies are becoming increasingly important as technical solutions for Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable data and metadata (FAIR Guiding Principles). We discuss four challenges that impede the use of…
