Evaluating style modification in text
… to obtain more reliable measures of them from human evaluation than in previous work. We also demonstrate stronger correlation between human judgment and a new set of automated metrics: the Wasserstein distance, word mover's distance on texts with style masked out, and adversarial …

An Optimization-Based Qualitative/Algorithmic Approach to Transit Service Planning: Addressing the MBTA Green Line Extension
… from such a large set is a difficult task. While human judgment is a critical part of the process, particularly in the analysis of the most promising solutions, subjectivity from human judgment introduced too early on in the alternative identification process can lead to a suboptimal selection of …

Evaluation of Automatic Text Summarization Using Synthetic Facts
… benchmark datasets. It can generate fluent, human-like summaries. However, the unreliability of the existing evaluation metrics hinders its practical usage and slows down its progress. To address this issue, we propose an automatic reference-less text summarization evaluation system with …

Product perceptual mapping on fashion designs with Gaussian mixture variational autoencoder and triplet loss
… a 2D perceptual map able to be interpreted by human judgment. We test the GMVAE approach on three datasets: (1) a dataset of simple generated data; (2) the MNIST dataset, a dataset of handwritten digits; and (3) the Amazon Fashion dataset, a dataset of product images, product categories, and …

Supporting rational decision-making in civil engineering
… it is a two-step process, which includes the judgment of the structural state based on the SHM information, and the decision about the optimal action based on the knowledge of the structural state. When engineering knowledge concerning the state of the system is uncertain, as the monitoring …
