When we interact with small screen devices, sometimes we make errors, due to our abilities/disabilities, contextual factors that distract our attention or problems related to the interface. Recovering from these errors may be time consuming…

Mechanism design is essentially reverse engineering of games and involves inducing a game among strategic agents in a way that the induced game satisfies a set of desired properties in an equilibrium of the game. Desirable properties for a…

As multimodal large language models (MLLMs) are increasingly integrated into early-stage design tools, it is important to understand how designers collaborate with AI during ideation. In a user study with 12 participants, we analysed…

Cross domain recommender systems have been increasingly valuable for helping consumers identify useful items in different applications. However, existing cross-domain models typically require large number of overlap users, which can be…

Recently, we have been witnessing an increasing use of machine learning methods in self-adaptive systems. Machine learning methods offer a variety of use cases for supporting self-adaptation, e.g., to keep runtime models up to date, reduce…

When evaluated in dynamic, open-world situations, neural networks struggle to detect unseen classes. This issue complicates the deployment of continual learners in realistic environments where agents are not explicitly informed when novel…

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used as automated judges to evaluate recommendation systems, search engines, and other subjective tasks, where relying on human evaluators can be costly, time-consuming, and unscalable. LLMs…

Large Transformer models achieved the state-of-the-art status for Natural Language Understanding tasks and are increasingly becoming the baseline model architecture for modeling source code. Transformers are usually pre-trained on large…

Monitoring Machine Learning (ML) models in production environments is crucial, yet traditional approaches often yield verbose, low-interpretability outputs that hinder effective decision-making. We propose a cognitive architecture for ML…

Adapting the User Interface (UI) of software systems to user requirements and the context of use is challenging. The main difficulty consists of suggesting the right adaptation at the right time in the right place in order to make it…

Reinforcement learning (RL) has shown great promise in optimizing long-term user interest in recommender systems. However, existing RL-based recommendation methods need a large number of interactions for each user to learn a robust…

Large language models (LLMs) often struggle to use tools reliably in domain-specific settings, where APIs may be idiosyncratic, under-documented, or tailored to private workflows. This highlights the need for effective adaptation to…

In sequential recommendation, models recommend items based on user's interaction history. To this end, current models usually incorporate information such as item descriptions and user intent or preferences. User preferences are usually not…

Vision-language retrieval is an important multi-modal learning topic, where the goal is to retrieve the most relevant visual candidate for a given text query. Recently, pre-trained models, e.g., CLIP, show great potential on retrieval…

Inspired by the exceptional general intelligence of Large Language Models (LLMs), researchers have begun to explore their application in pioneering the next generation of recommender systems - systems that are conversational, explainable,…

The proliferation of Large Language Models (LLMs) raises a critical question about what it means to be human when we share an increasingly symbiotic relationship with persuasive and creative machines. This paper examines patterns of…

Objective: To investigate whether performance (number of correct decisions) of humans supported by a computer alerting tool can be improved by tailoring the tool's alerting threshold (sensitivity/specificity combination) according to user…

Extensive efforts have been made to boost the performance in the domain of language models by introducing various attention-based transformers. However, the inclusion of linear layers with large dimensions contributes to significant…

This article proposes a methodology for the development of adaptive traffic signal controllers using reinforcement learning. Our methodology addresses the lack of standardization in the literature that renders the comparison of approaches…

Lack of diversity in data collection has caused significant failures in machine learning (ML) applications. While ML developers perform post-collection interventions, these are time intensive and rarely comprehensive. Thus, new methods to…
