“Modeling Conditional Dependencies in Multiagent Trajectories
”We study modeling joint densities over sets of random variables (next-step movements of multiple agents) which are conditioned on aligned observations (past trajectories). For this setting, we propose an autoregressive approach to model intra-timestep dependencies, where distributions over joint movements are represented by autoregressive factorizations. In our approach, factors are randomly ordered and estimated with a graph neural network to account for permutation equivariance, while a recurrent neural network encodes past trajectories. We further propose a conditional two-stream attention mechanism, to allow for efficient training of random factorizations. We experiment on trajectory data from professional soccer matches and find that we model low frequency trajectories better than variational approaches.

Like other disciplines, Information Systems is experiencing a growing volume of scholarly publications. This development exacerbates the threat of conceptual fragmentation. Previously, solutions based on repositories and databases were suggested to combat this issue, but the effort needed to build and maintain these solutions has impeded their widespread adoption. In response, the literature is exploring machine- learning-based approaches. We join this exploration proposing a computer vision approach to detecting conceptual models and extracting their constituents. The developed tool can serve as a foundation for automating the population of scientific databases describing theoretical models. We evaluate our deep learning approach against a sample of papers containing graphical theoretical models, and show that 81.5% of all constructs, items, and path coefficients can be correctly classified. This has the potential to significantly reduce manual efforts to populate scientific databases and can be an important step towards the augmentation of the work of theorists.
