Characterizing Common Quarterly Behaviors In DeFi Lending Protocols
(Springer, Cham., 2023-07)The emerging decentralized financial ecosystem (DeFi) is comprised of numerous protocols, one type being lending protocols. People make transactions in lending protocols, each of which is attributed to a specific blockchain ... -
Are Human Explanations Always Helpful? Towards Objective Evaluation of Human Natural Language Explanations
(Association for Computational Linguistics, 2023-07)Human-annotated labels and explanations are critical for training explainable NLP models. However, unlike human-annotated labels whose quality is easier to calibrate (e.g., with a majority vote), human-crafted free-form ... -
Beyond Labels: Empowering Human with Natural Language Explanations through a Novel Active-Learning Architecture
(arXiv, 2023-05-23)Data annotation is a costly task; thus, researchers have proposed low-scenario learning techniques like Active-Learning (AL) to support human annotators; Yet, existing AL works focus only on the label, but overlook the ... -
Facilitating Reuse of Mental Health Questionnaires via Knowledge Graphs
(The Healthcare and Life Sciences Symposium, 2023-05-08)Questionnaires are one of the most common instrument types for screening patients for mental disorders. They are composed of items whose answers are typically scored to determine the elevation on a specified dimension, and ... -

(Frontiers in Nutrition, 2023-05-04)Eat4Genes is a prototype diet recommendation web app for patients, healthcare providers, and researchers that aids in the selection of a healthy diet to help treat and prevent numerous health conditions. Our approach is ... -
Whyis 2: An Open Source Framework for Knowledge Graph Development and Research
(Springer, 2023-03-23)Whyis is the first open source framework for creating custom provenance-driven knowledge graph applications, or KGApps, support- ing three principal tasks: knowledge curation, inference, and interaction. It has been used ... -
RPIrates: Fun with OpenAI, GPTStudio and R!
(The Rensselaer IDEA, 2023-02-14)Seemingly everyone has been talking about the impact of OpenAI's ChatGPT on, well, everything, including writing code. In this very special RPIrates we talk specifically about generating great, and sometimes not-so-great, ... -
Understanding the limits of AI coding
(AAAS, 2023-02-09)In the 9 December 2022 issue, the Research Article “Competition-level code generation with AlphaCode” (Y. Li et al., p. 1092) and the accompanying Perspective, “AlphaCode and ‘datadriven’ programming” (J. Z. Kolter, p. ... -
Informing clinical assessment by contextualizing post-hoc explanations of risk prediction models in type-2 diabetes
(Elsevier, 2023-02)Medical experts may use Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems with greater trust if these are supported by ‘contextual explanations’ that let the practitioner connect system inferences to their context of use. However, their ... -
Analyzing and predicting success of professional musicians
(Scientific Reports, 2022-12-17)The emergence of streaming services, e.g., Spotify, has changed the way people listen to music and the way professional musicians achieve fame and success. Classical music has been the backbone of Western media for a long ... -
High-fidelity information extraction in future power grids
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2022-12)The recent decades have witnessed the rapid growth of the deployment of smart meters in power systems. The massive amount of data collected from smart meters provide rich information of power systems, such as system dynamics ... -
Novel imaging strategies illuminate selective trafficking pathways in neurons
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2022-12)The fundamental unit of the nervous system is the neuron. Neurons develop many anatomically and functionally distinct domains to fulfill their role in electrochemical signaling. These domains require different complements ... -
