This article is a commentary on remarks made in a recent book [12] that perpetuate several myths about Brouwer and intuitionism. The footnote on page 279 of [12] is an unfortunate, historically and factually inaccurate, blemish on an otherwise remarkable book. In that footnote, in which Ok discusses Brouwer (who, incidentally, was normally known not as “Jan” but as “Bertus”, a shortening of his...

Grad-CAM: Why did you say that?

We propose a technique for making Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based models more transparent by visualizing input regions that are ‘important’ for predictions – producing visual explanations. Our approach, called Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping (Grad-CAM), uses class-specific gradient information to localize important regions. These localizations are combined with existing pixe...

Did I Really Say That? - Combining Machine Learning and Dependency Relations to Extract Statements from German News Articles

We present a system to extract statements of public figures from unstructured German news articles. We first motivate and define statements as a temporally-aware extension of quotations and present the three categories of statements: (1) direct, (2) indirect, and (3) mixed-style statements. We use a combination of machine learning and heuristics based on dependency parses to tackle all three ty...
