Is Unimodal Bias Always Bad for Visual Question Answering? A Medical Domain Study with Dynamic Attention (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sun, Z., Harit, A., Cristea, A. I., Yu, J., Al Moubayed, N., & Shi, L. (2022, December). Is Unimodal Bias Always Bad for Visual Question Answering? A Medical Domain Study with Dynamic Attention. Presented at IEEE Big Data, Osaka, Japan

Medical visual question answering (Med-VQA) is to answer medical questions based on clinical images provided. This field is still in its infancy due to the complexity of the trio formed of questions, multimodal features and expert knowledge. In this...

Using Model Explanations to Guide Deep Learning Models Towards Consistent Explanations for EHR Data (2022)
Journal Article
Watson, M., Awwad Shekh Hasan, B., & Al Moubayed, N. (2022). Using Model Explanations to Guide Deep Learning Models Towards Consistent Explanations for EHR Data. Scientific Reports, 12(19899), Article 19899. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-24356-6

It has been shown that identical Deep Learning (DL) architectures will produce distinct explanations when trained with different hyperparameters that are orthogonal to the task (e.g. random seed, training set order). In domains such as healthcare and... Read More about Using Model Explanations to Guide Deep Learning Models Towards Consistent Explanations for EHR Data.

Towards Graph Representation Learning Based Surgical Workflow Anticipation (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zhang, X., Al Moubayed, N., & Shum, H. P. (2022, September). Towards Graph Representation Learning Based Surgical Workflow Anticipation. Presented at 2022 IEEE-EMBS International Conference on Biomedical and Health Informatics (BHI), Ioannina, Greece

Surgical workflow anticipation can give predictions on what steps to conduct or what instruments to use next, which is an essential part of the computer-assisted intervention system for surgery, e.g. workflow reasoning in robotic surgery. However, cu... Read More about Towards Graph Representation Learning Based Surgical Workflow Anticipation.

Does lossy image compression affect racial bias within face recognition? (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Yucer, S., Poyser, M., Al Moubayed, N., & Breckon, T. (2022, October). Does lossy image compression affect racial bias within face recognition?. Presented at International Joint Conference on Biometrics (IJCB 2022), Abu Dhabi, UAE

This study investigates the impact of commonplace lossy image compression on face recognition algorithms with regard to the racial characteristics of the subject. We adopt a recently proposed racial phenotype-based bias analysis methodology to measur... Read More about Does lossy image compression affect racial bias within face recognition?.

INTERACTION: A Generative XAI Framework for Natural Language Inference Explanations (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Yu, J., Cristea, A. I., Harit, A., Sun, Z., Aduragba, O. T., Shi, L., & Al Moubayed, N. (2022, July). INTERACTION: A Generative XAI Framework for Natural Language Inference Explanations. Presented at 2022 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN), Padova, Italy

XAI with natural language processing aims to produce human-readable explanations as evidence for AI decisionmaking, which addresses explainability and transparency. However, from an HCI perspective, the current approaches only focus on delivering a s... Read More about INTERACTION: A Generative XAI Framework for Natural Language Inference Explanations.
