Why some users "lie" to an interactive AI and even achieve better results?🤔 Watch our presentation at @UMAPconf to discover the answer and its implications! 🤯

@elisamekler For me it was the longest journey (1999) where I met my first crush April Ryan.

Users are not passive feedback sources, rather they are in control, actively steering the system towards their goal. This behaviour violates system's assumptions about the user and suggests the need for novel types of user models. Demo: https://t.co/BgkkdXIqkt

How users collaborate with an intelligent system? We designed a function optimization task where a human and an optimization algorithm collaborate to find the max of a 1-d function. With @fcole90 Jussi Jokinen @oulasvirta @samikaski. preprint: https://t.co/qbqtyHsGfM @UMAPconf

I just gave a remote keynote on "Data analysis with humans" in PAKDD 2020 and thought to share the recording. Abstract: https://t.co/UsmVoYvtz9 slides: https://t.co/UsmVoYvtz9 recording: https://t.co/YySgjGiAcr @pakdd_social @FCAI_fi @AaltoPML

And the final question in the form is ...

[Pedram Daee @ped_ram]

The attached requirement is from ...

A) US visa application form.
B) Github appeal form regarding my account being restricted due to interacting with github while being in Iran (https://t.co/bxK9VbXfBp).

[Pedram Daee @ped_ram]

"Due to U.S. trade controls law restrictions, your GitHub account has been restricted."

The correct answer is B.

Our researchers have done very exciting work designing #AI that understands humans' goals better. This is a crucial step towards making truly helpful AI assistants. @samikaski @tomi_peltola @mert_celikok @ped_ram #NeurIPS

(1/2) Ever tried to get an AI system to actually do stuff? That would work much better if it understood that you do have a goal. In our NeurIPS paper with @tomi_peltola, @ped_ram and @mert_celikok we give the AI learner the capability to understand that, by learning a user model

What if the oracle (here teacher) in active learning is allowed to lie about data labels to a machine learning algorithm?
