To safely and rationally participate in dense and heterogeneous traffic, autonomous vehicles require to sufficiently analyze the motion patterns of surrounding traffic-agents and accurately predict their future trajectories. This is…
In this paper we present the Process-To-Text (P2T) framework for the automatic generation of textual descriptive explanations of processes. P2T integrates three AI paradigms: process mining for extracting temporal and structural information…
Text classification is a fundamental problem in information retrieval with many real-world applications, such as predicting the topics of online articles and the categories of e-commerce product descriptions. However, low-resource text…
As language technologies become more ubiquitous, there are increasing efforts towards expanding the language diversity and coverage of natural language processing (NLP) systems. Arguably, the most important factor influencing the quality of…
Occurrence reporting is a commonly used method in safety management systems to obtain insight in the prevalence of hazards and accident scenarios. In support of safety data analysis, reports are often categorized according to a taxonomy.…
Human trafficking is a heartless crime that represents the second most profitable crime in the world. Mexico's geographical position makes it a country with high levels of human trafficking. Using the snowball sampling method, the major…
Previous studies on sequence-based extraction of human movement trajectories have an issue of inadequate trajectory representation. Specifically, a pair of locations may not be lined up in a sequence especially when one location includes…
Real-world problems are very difficult to optimize. However, many researchers have been solving benchmark problems that have been extensively investigated for the last decades even if they have very few direct applications. The Traveling…
Human trafficking is a challenging law enforcement problem, and a large amount of such activity manifests itself on various online forums. Given the large, heterogeneous and noisy structure of this data, building models to predict instances…
As robots increasingly enter human-centered environments, they must not only be able to navigate safely around humans, but also adhere to complex social norms. Humans often rely on non-verbal communication through gestures and facial…
Urban trajectories play a crucial role in modeling urban dynamics and supporting various smart city applications. However, privacy concerns restrict access to large-scale and high-quality trajectory datasets. Trajectory generation provides…
Understanding and replicating human mobility requires not only spatial-temporal accuracy but also an awareness of the cognitive hierarchy underlying real-world travel decisions. Traditional agent-based or deep learning models can reproduce…
Objective: To develop a natural language processing (NLP) system to extract medications and contextual information that help understand drug changes. This project is part of the 2022 n2c2 challenge. Materials and methods: We developed NLP…
We study a trajectory analysis problem we call the Trajectory Capture Problem (TCP), in which, for a given input set ${\cal T}$ of trajectories in the plane, and an integer $k\geq 2$, we seek to compute a set of $k$ points (``portals'') to…
Investigations of sex trafficking sometimes have access to photographs of victims in hotel rooms. These images directly link victims to places, which can help verify where victims have been trafficked or where traffickers might operate in…
The importance of systems that can extract structured information from textual data becomes increasingly pronounced given the ever-increasing volume of text produced on a daily basis. Having a system that can effectively extract such…
Automatic reasoning about textual information is a challenging task in modern Natural Language Processing (NLP) systems. In this work we describe our proposal for representing and reasoning about Portuguese documents by means of Linked Data…
[Abridged Abstract] Recent technological advances underscore labor market dynamics, yielding significant consequences for employment prospects and increasing job vacancy data across platforms and languages. Aggregating such data holds…
Undermining the impact of hateful content with informed and non-aggressive responses, called counter narratives, has emerged as a possible solution for having healthier online communities. Thus, some NLP studies have started addressing the…
The steady growth of digitized historical information is continuously stimulating new different approaches to the fields of Digital Humanities and Computational Social Science. In this work, we use Natural Language Processing techniques to…
