Abstract We are interested in electricity price forecasting at the European scale. The electricity market is ruled by price regulation mechanisms that make it possible to adjust production to demand, as electricity is difficult to store. These mechanisms ensure the highest price for producers, the lowest price for consumers and a zero energy balance by setting day-ahead prices, i.e. prices for the next 24h. Most studies have focused on learning increasingly sophisticated models to predict the next day’s 24 hourly prices for a given zone.

Abstract Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) has received a lot of attention over the past decade, with the proposal of many methods explaining black box classifiers such as neural networks. Despite the ubiquity of recommender systems in the digital world, only few researchers have attempted to explain their functioning, whereas one major obstacle to their use is the problem of societal acceptability and trustworthiness. Indeed, recommender systems direct user choices to a large extent and their impact is important as they give access to only a small part of the range of items (e.

Abstract We consider the problem of explaining Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). While most attempts aim at explaining the final decision of the model, we focus on the hidden layers to examine what the GNN actually captures and shed light on the hidden features built by the GNN. To that end, we first extract activation rules that identify sets of exceptionally co-activated neurons when classifying graphs in the same category. These rules define internal representations having a strong impact in the classification process.

Abstract GNNs are powerful models based on node representation learning that perform particularly well in many machine learning problems related to graphs. The major obstacle to the deployment of GNNs is mostly a problem of societal acceptability and trustworthiness, properties which require making explicit the internal functioning of such models. Here, we propose to mine activation rules in the hidden layers to understand how the GNNs perceive the world. The problem is not to discover activation rules that are individually highly discriminating for an output of the model.

Abstract We report on preliminary results to automatically identify efficient tactics of elite players in table tennis games. We define such tactics as subgroups of winning strokes which table tennis experts sought to obtain to train players and adapt their strategy during games. We first report on the creation of such subgroups and their ranking by weighted relative accuracy measure (WRAcc). We then report on representation of the subgroups using visualizations that enabled our expert to provide rapid feedback and hence provided us with guidance towards further improvements of our discoveries

Abstract Recent works have proposed to explain GNNs using activation rules. Activation rules allow to capture specific configurations in the embedding space of a given layer that is discriminant for the GNN decision. These rules also catch hidden features of input graphs. This requires to associate these rules to representative graphs. In this paper, we propose on the one hand an analysis of heuristic-based algorithms to extract the activation rules, and on the other hand the use of transport-based optimal graph distances to associate each rule with the most specific graph that triggers them.

Using subgroup discovery to relate odor pleasantness and intensity to peripheral nervous system reactions

In IEEE Transactions on Affective Computing

Abstract Activation of the autonomic nervous system is a primary characteristic of human hedonic responses to sensory stimuli. For smells, general tendencies of physiological reactions have been described using classical statistics. However, these physiological variations are generally not quantified precisely; each psychophysiological parameter has very often been studied separately and individual variability was not systematically considered. The current study presents an innovative approach based on data mining, whose goal is to extract knowledge from a dataset.

What does my GNN really capture? On exploring internal GNN representations

Abstract GNNs are efficient for classifying graphs but their internal workings is opaque which limits their field of application. Existing methods for explaining GNN focus on disclosing the relationships between input graphs and the model’s decision. In contrary, the method we propose isolates internal features, hidden in the network layers, which are automatically identified by the GNN to classify graphs. We show that this method makes it possible to know the parts of the input graphs used by GNN with much less bias than the SOTA methods and therefore to provide confidence in the decision process.

Abstract While existing GNN’s explanation methods explain the decision by studying the output layer, we propose a method that analyzes the hidden layers to identify the neurons that are co-activated for a class. We associate to them a graph.

Electricity price forecasting on the day-ahead market using machine learning

Abstract The price of electricity on the European market is very volatile. This is due both to its mode of production by different sources, each with its own constraints (volume of production, dependence on the weather, or production inertia), and by the difficulty of its storage. Being able to predict the prices of the next day is an important issue, to allow the development of intelligent uses of electricity. In this article, we investigate the capabilities of different machine learning techniques to accurately predict electricity prices.
