Snowfall deposition in mountainous terrain: a statistical downscaling scheme from high-resolution model data on simulated topographies

One of the primary causes of non-uniform snowfall deposition on the ground in mountainous regions is the preferential deposition of snow, which results from the interaction of near-surface winds with topography and snow particles. However, producing high-r ...

Graph integration of structured, semistructured and unstructured data for data journalism

Angelos Christos Anadiotis, Jingmao You

Digital data is a gold mine for modern journalism. However, datasets which interest journalists are extremely heterogeneous, ranging from highly structured (relational databases), semi-structured (JSON, XML, HTML), graphs (e.g., RDF), and text. Journalists ...

Unsupervised Visual Entity Abstraction towards 2D and 3D Compositional Models

Beril Besbinar

Object-centric learning has gained significant attention over the last years as it can serve as a powerful tool to analyze complex scenes as a composition of simpler entities. Well-established tasks in computer vision, such as object detection or instance ...

Strong Heuristics for Named Entity Linking

Robert West, Akhil Arora, Andreas Oliver Spitz, Marko Culjak

Named entity linking (NEL) in news is a challenging endeavour due to the frequency of unseen and emerging entities, which necessitates the use of unsupervised or zero-shot methods. However, such methods tend to come with caveats, such as no integration of ...

WEBGRAPH: Capturing Advertising and Tracking Information Flows for Robust Blocking

Sandra Deepthy Siby, Carmela González Troncoso

Users rely on ad and tracker blocking tools to protect their privacy. Unfortunately, existing ad and tracker blocking tools are susceptible to mutable advertising and tracking content. In this paper, we first demonstrate that a state-of-the-art ad and trac ...

Representation Learning for Multi-relational Data

Eda Bayram

Recent years have witnessed a rise in real-world data captured with rich structural information that can be better depicted by multi-relational or heterogeneous graphs. However, research on relational representation learning has so far mostly focused on th ...

Low-Rank Subspaces for Unsupervised Entity Linking

Robert West, Akhil Arora, Alberto Garcia Duran

Entity linking is an important problem with many applications. Most previous solutions were designed for settings where annotated training data is available, which is, however, not the case in numerous domains. We propose a light-weight and scalable entity ...

On the Limitations of Cross-lingual Encoders as Exposed by Reference-Free Machine Translation Evaluation

Maxime Jean Julien Peyrard, Robert West, Wei Zhao, Yang Gao

Evaluation of cross-lingual encoders is usually performed either via zero-shot cross-lingual transfer in supervised downstream tasks or via unsupervised cross-lingual textual similarity. In this paper, we concern ourselves with reference-free machine trans ...
