    Artificial General Intelligence: Why Aren't We There Yet?

    November 6, 2017  |  Gary Marcus
    All purpose, all-powerful AI systems, capable of catering to our every intellectual need, have been promised for six decades, but thus far still not arrived. What will it take to bring AI to something like human-level intelligence? And why haven't we gotten there already? Scientist, author, and entrepreneur Gary…

    Text Summarization and Categorization for Scientific and Health-Related Data

    October 30, 2017  |  Arman Cohan
    The rapid growth of scientific literature has created a challenge for researchers to remain current with new developments. Existence of surveys summarizing the latest state of the field shows that such information is desirable, yet obtaining such summaries requires painstaking manual efforts. Scientific document…

    Video Understanding: From Tags to Language

    October 16, 2017  |  Chuang Gan
    The increasing ubiquity of devices capable of capturing videos has led to an explosion in the amount of recorded video content. Instead of “eyeballing” the videos for potentially useful information, it has therefore been a pressing need to develop automatic video analysis and understanding algorithms for various…

    Stevens Institute of Technology: President's Distinguished Lecture with Oren Etzioni

    October 4, 2017  |  Oren Etzioni
    Does Artificial Intelligence (AI) research result in threats to society, or will it yield beneficial technology? The talk will address these issues by describing the projects and perspective at the Allen Institute for AI (AI2) in Seattle. AI2's mission is "AI for the Common Good," as exemplified by Semantic…

    Mining and Enriching Scientific Text Collections

    September 15, 2017  |  Horacio Saggion
    In the current online Open Science context, scientific data-sets and tools for deep text analysis, visualization and exploitation play a major role. I will present a system developed over the past three years for “deep” analysis and annotation of scientific text collections. After a brief overview of the…

    Off the Beaten Path: Let’s Replace Term-Based Retrieval with k-NN Search

    August 16, 2017  |  Leo Boytsov
    We explore alternatives to classic term-based retrieval. The ultimate objective is to develop a smarter candidate generation component for question answering (QA) and information retrieval (IR), which can employ similarities that are more expressive than the commonly used TF-IDF ranking function. Achieving this…

    Proposition Extraction: Formulation, Crowd-sourcing and Prediction

    August 9, 2017  |  Gabi Stanovsky
    Propositions are statements for which a truth value can be assigned (e.g., “Bob loves Mary”). Since they constitute the primary unit of information conveyed in texts, proposition extraction is often used in NLP algorithms such as question answering, summarization, or recognizing textual entailment. I will begin…
  • Moving Beyond the Turing Test with the Allen AI Science Challenge

    July 25, 2017  |  Oren Etzioni
    This video discusses the paper: Moving Beyond the Turing Test with the Allen AI Science Challenge. The field of Artificial Intelligence has made great strides forward recently, for example AlphaGo's recent victory against the world champion Lee Sedol in the game of Go, leading to great optimism about the field…

    Knowledge Representation And Reasoning With Deep Neural Networks

    June 22, 2017  |  Arvind Neelakantan
    Knowledge representation and reasoning is one of the central challenges of artificial intelligence, and has important implications in many fields including natural language understanding and robotics. Representing knowledge with symbols, and reasoning via search and logic has been the dominant paradigm for many…
