RESEARCH WATCH: 05.26.19

Over the past week, 915 new papers were published in "Computer Science".

Over the past week, 89 new papers were published in "Computer Science - Artificial Intelligence".

  • The paper discussed most in the news over the past week was "Survival of the Fittest in PlayerUnknown BattleGround" by Brij Rokad et al (May 2019), which was referenced 8 times, including in the article AI Predicts Survival of The Fittest in PUBG in IGN India. The paper got social media traction with 6 shares.

  • Leading researcher Yoshua Bengio (Université de Montréal) came out with "The Journey is the Reward: Unsupervised Learning of Influential Trajectories" @gastronomy tweeted "> Unsupervised exploration and representation learning become increasingly important when learning in diverse and sparse environments. T".

  • The paper shared the most on social media this week is by a team at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute: "PaperRobot: Incremental Draft Generation of Scientific Ideas" by Qingyun Wang et al (May 2019) with 228 shares. The investigators present a PaperRobot who performs as an automatic research assistant by (1) conducting deep understanding of a large collection of human - written papers in a target domain and constructing comprehensive background knowledge graphs (KGs); (2) creating new ideas by predicting links from the background KGs, by combining graph attention and contextual text attention; (3) incrementally writing some key elements of a new paper based on memory - attention networks : from the input title along with predicted related entities to generate a paper abstract, from the abstract to generate conclusion and future work, and finally from future work to generate a title for a follow - on paper. @mandubian (mandubianhotep) tweeted ""60% of 6.4 million papers in biomedic & chemistry are about incremental work" Paperbot builds graph knowledge from existing papers, then generate new incremental ideas and their abstract/conclusion and finally title for future follow-on papers... Whoaa :D".

Over the past week, 166 new papers were published in "Computer Science - Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition".

Over the past week, 20 new papers were published in "Computer Science - Computers and Society".

Over the past week, 20 new papers were published in "Computer Science - Human-Computer Interaction".

  • The paper discussed most in the news over the past week was by a team at University of Pennsylvania: "What Twitter Profile and Posted Images Reveal About Depression and Anxiety" by Sharath Chandra Guntuku et al (Apr 2019), which was referenced 23 times, including in the article Twitter photos may help detect users with depression, anxiety in The Inquirer. The paper author, Sharath Guntuku, was quoted saying "It is challenging to transform pixels that form the images to interpretable features, but with the advances in computer vision algorithms, we are now attempting to uncover another dimension of the condition as it manifests online." The paper got social media traction with 9 shares. The investigators examine which attributes of profile and posted images are associated with depression and anxiety of Twitter users.
