The study proposes and tests a technique for automated emotion recognition through mouth detection via Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), meant to be applied for supporting people with health disorders with communication skills issues (e.g. muscle wasting, stroke, autism, or, more simply, pain) in order to recognize emotions and generate real-time feedback, or data feeding supporting systems. The software system starts the computation identifying if a face is present on the acquired image, then it looks for the mouth location and extracts the corresponding features. Both tasks are carried out using Haar Feature-based Classifiers, which guarantee fast execution and promising performance. If our previous works focused on visual micro-expressions for personalized training on a single user, this strategy aims to train the system also on generalized faces data sets.

In this work, a re-design of the Moodledata module functionalities is presented to share learning objects between e-learning content platforms, e.g., Moodle and G-Lorep, in a linkable object format. The e-learning courses content of the Drupal-based Content Management System G-Lorep for academic learning is exchanged designing an object incorporating metadata to support the reuse and the classification in its context. In such an Artificial Intelligence environment, the exchange of Linkable Learning Objects can be used for dialogue between Learning Systems to obtain information, especially with the use of semantic or structural similarity measures to enhance the existent Taxonomy Assistant for advanced automated classification.

Influenced mixed moving average fields are a versatile modeling class for spatio-temporal data. However, their predictive distribution is not generally accessible. Under this modeling assumption, we define a novel theory-guided machine learning approach that employs a generalized Bayesian algorithm to make predictions. We employ a Lipschitz predictor, for example, a linear model or a feed-forward neural network, and determine a randomized estimator by minimizing a novel PAC Bayesian bound for data serially correlated along a spatial and temporal dimension. Performing causal future predictions is a highlight of our methodology as its potential application to data with short and long-range dependence. We conclude by showing the performance of the learning methodology in an example with linear predictors and simulated spatio-temporal data from an STOU process.

G-Enum histograms are a new fast and fully automated method for irregular histogram construction. By framing histogram construction as a density estimation problem and its automation as a model selection task, these histograms leverage the Minimum Description Length principle (MDL) to derive two different model selection criteria. Several proven theoretical results about these criteria give insights about their asymptotic behavior and are used to speed up their optimisation. These insights, combined to a greedy search heuristic, are used to construct histograms in linearithmic time rather than the polynomial time incurred by previous works. The capabilities of the proposed MDL density estimation method are illustrated with reference to other fully automated methods in the literature, both on synthetic and large real-world data sets.

Context is vital for commonsense moral reasoning. "Lying to a friend" is wrong if it is meant to deceive them, but may be morally okay if it is intended to protect them. Such nuanced but salient contextual information can potentially flip the moral judgment of an action. Thus, we present ClarifyDelphi, an interactive system that elicits missing contexts of a moral situation by generating clarification questions such as "Why did you lie to your friend?". Our approach is inspired by the observation that questions whose potential answers lead to diverging moral judgments are the most informative. We learn to generate questions using Reinforcement Learning, by maximizing the divergence between moral judgements of hypothetical answers to a question. Human evaluation shows that our system generates more relevant, informative and defeasible questions compared to other question generation baselines. ClarifyDelphi assists informed moral reasoning processes by seeking additional morally consequential context to disambiguate social and moral situations.

With the increasing use of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) in critical real-world applications, several post hoc explanation methods have been proposed to understand their predictions. However, there has been no work in generating explanations on the fly during model training and utilizing them to improve the expressive power of the underlying GNN models. In this work, we introduce a novel explanation-directed neural message passing framework for GNNs, EXPASS (EXplainable message PASSing), which aggregates only embeddings from nodes and edges identified as important by a GNN explanation method. EXPASS can be used with any existing GNN architecture and subgraph-optimizing explainer to learn accurate graph embeddings. We theoretically show that EXPASS alleviates the oversmoothing problem in GNNs by slowing the layer wise loss of Dirichlet energy and that the embedding difference between the vanilla message passing and EXPASS framework can be upper bounded by the difference of their respective model weights. Our empirical results show that graph embeddings learned using EXPASS improve the predictive performance and alleviate the oversmoothing problems of GNNs, opening up new frontiers in graph machine learning to develop explanation-based training frameworks.

太阳能动力学天文台（SDO）是NASA多光谱十年的长达任务，每天都在日常产生来自Sun的观测数据的trabytes，以证明机器学习方法的潜力并铺路未来深空任务计划的方式。特别是，在最近的几项研究中提出了使用图像到图像翻译实际上产生极端超紫罗兰通道的想法，这是一种增强任务较少通道的提高任务的方法，并且由于低下链接而减轻了挑战。深空的速率。本文通过关注四个通道和基于编码器的建筑的排列来研究这种深度学习方法的潜力和局限性，并特别注意太阳表面的形态特征和亮度如何影响神经网络预测。在这项工作中，我们想回答以下问题：可以将通过图像到图像翻译产生的太阳电晕的合成图像用于太阳的科学研究吗？分析强调，神经网络在计数率（像素强度）上产生高质量的图像，通常可以在1％误差范围内跨通道跨通道重现协方差。但是，模型性能在极高的能量事件（如耀斑）的对应关系中大大减少，我们认为原因与此类事件的稀有性有关，这对模型训练构成了挑战。

在这项工作中，我们提出了一种有效的方法，用于通道状态信息（CSI）自适应量化和频划分双工（FDD）系统中的反馈。现有作品主要集中于实施自动编码器（AE）神经网络（NNS）进行CSI压缩，并考虑直接的量化方法，例如统一量化，通常不是最佳的。通过这种策略，很难达到较低的重建误差，尤其是当为潜在空间量化保留的可用位数很小时。为了解决此问题，我们建议两种不同的方法：一种基于培训后量化的方法，以及在AE培训期间找到代码手册的第二个方法。与标准量化技术相比，这两种策略都具有更好的重建精度。

我们研究了对分类器的有限集合的多数投票的概括特性，通过PAC-Bayes理论证明了基于利润的概括界。这些为许多分类任务提供了最先进的保证。我们的中心结果利用了Zantedeschi等人最近研究的Dirichlet后期。[2021]用于培训投票分类器；与这项工作相反，我们的界限适用于通过利润率使用的非随机票。我们的贡献使Schapire等人提出的“边缘理论”的辩论增加了观点。[1998]用于集合分类器的概括。

两区图像分割是将图像分为两个感兴趣的区域，即前景和背景的过程。为此，Chan等人。[Chan，Esedo \ = Glu，Nikolova，Siam on Applied Mathematics 66（5），1632-1648，2006]设计了一个非常适合平滑图像的模型。该模型的一个缺点是，当图像包含振荡组件时，它可能会产生不良的分割。基于要分割的图像的卡通文本分解，我们提出了一个新模型，该模型能够对图像进行准确的分割，其中还包含噪声或振荡信息（例如纹理）。新型模型导致了一个非平滑约束优化问题，我们通过ADMM方法解决了该问题。还证明了数值方案的收敛性。关于平滑，嘈杂和纹理图像的几项实验显示了所提出的模型的有效性。
