Improving Linear System Solvers for Hyperparameter Optimisation in Iterative Gaussian Processes

[Submitted on 28 May 2024] View a PDF of the paper titled Improving Linear System Solvers for Hyperparameter Optimisation in Iterative Gaussian Processes, by Jihao Andreas Lin and Shreyas Padhy and Bruno Mlodozeniec and Javier Antor'an and Jos'e Miguel Hern'andez-Lobato View PDF Abstract:Scaling hyperparameter optimisation to very large datasets remains an open problem in the Gaussian process community. This paper focuses on iterative methods, which use linear system solvers, like conjugate gradients, alternating projections or stochastic gradient descent, to construct an estimate of the marginal likelihood gradient. We discuss three key improvements which are applicable across solvers: (i) a pathwise…

Transductive Zero-Shot and Few-Shot CLIP

Transductive Zero-Shot and Few-Shot CLIP

arXiv:2405.18437v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transductive inference has been widely investigated in few-shot image classification, but completely overlooked in the recent, fast growing literature on adapting vision-langage models like CLIP. This paper addresses the transductive zero-shot and few-shot CLIP classification challenge, in which inference is performed jointly across a mini-batch of unlabeled query samples, rather than treating each instance independently. We initially construct informative vision-text probability features, leading to a classification problem on the unit simplex set. Inspired by Expectation-Maximization (EM), our optimization-based classification objective models the data probability distribution for each class using a Dirichlet law. The minimization problem…

Foreign Payments and AI Tools – Transforming Global Transactions

Foreign Payments and AI Tools – Transforming Global Transactions

In today's interconnected world, the ability to make and receive payments across borders is essential for businesses and individuals alike. Traditionally, foreign payments have been fraught with challenges, including high fees, long processing times, and complex regulatory requirements. However, the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing this landscape, making international transactions faster, cheaper, and more secure. The Evolution of Foreign Payments Traditional Methods and Challenges Historically, foreign payments have relied on a network of banks and financial institutions to process transactions. Methods such as wire transfers and correspondent banking systems have been the mainstay. These methods, however, come with…

Integrating Medical Imaging and Clinical Reports Using Multimodal Deep Learning for Advanced Disease Analysis

Integrating Medical Imaging and Clinical Reports Using Multimodal Deep Learning for Advanced Disease Analysis

arXiv:2405.17459v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, an innovative multi-modal deep learning model is proposed to deeply integrate heterogeneous information from medical images and clinical reports. First, for medical images, convolutional neural networks were used to extract high-dimensional features and capture key visual information such as focal details, texture and spatial distribution. Secondly, for clinical report text, a two-way long and short-term memory network combined with an attention mechanism is used for deep semantic understanding, and key statements related to the disease are accurately captured. The two features interact and integrate effectively through the designed multi-modal fusion layer to…

WeatherFormer: A Pretrained Encoder Model for Learning Robust Weather Representations from Small Datasets

WeatherFormer: A Pretrained Encoder Model for Learning Robust Weather Representations from Small Datasets

arXiv:2405.17455v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper introduces WeatherFormer, a transformer encoder-based model designed to learn robust weather features from minimal observations. It addresses the challenge of modeling complex weather dynamics from small datasets, a bottleneck for many prediction tasks in agriculture, epidemiology, and climate science. WeatherFormer was pretrained on a large pretraining dataset comprised of 39 years of satellite measurements across the Americas. With a novel pretraining task and fine-tuning, WeatherFormer achieves state-of-the-art performance in county-level soybean yield prediction and influenza forecasting. Technical innovations include a unique spatiotemporal encoding that captures geographical, annual, and seasonal variations, adapting the transformer…

Evaluating Large Language Models with Giskard in MLflow

Over the last few years, Large Language Models (LLMs) have been reshaping the field of natural language, thanks to their transformer-based architectures and their extensive training on massive datasets.In particular, Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) has experienced a notable rise, swiftly becoming the prevailing method for effectively exploring and retrieving enterprise data by combining vector databases and LLMs. Some of its common applications involve developing customer support bots, internal knowledge graphs, or Q&A systems.This tremendous progress, however, has also given rise to various challenges, with one of the most prominent being the complicated task of testing and validating their generated outputs.How…

Blood Glucose Control Via Pre-trained Counterfactual Invertible Neural Networks

Blood Glucose Control Via Pre-trained Counterfactual Invertible Neural Networks

arXiv:2405.17458v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is characterized by insulin deficiency and blood glucose (BG) control issues. The state-of-the-art solution for continuous BG control is reinforcement learning (RL), where an agent can dynamically adjust exogenous insulin doses in time to maintain BG levels within the target range. However, due to the lack of action guidance, the agent often needs to learn from randomized trials to understand misleading correlations between exogenous insulin doses and BG levels, which can lead to instability and unsafety. To address these challenges, we propose an introspective RL based on Counterfactual Invertible Neural…

The Power of Next-Frame Prediction for Learning Physical Laws

The Power of Next-Frame Prediction for Learning Physical Laws

arXiv:2405.17450v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Next-frame prediction is a useful and powerful method for modelling and understanding the dynamics of video data. Inspired by the empirical success of causal language modelling and next-token prediction in language modelling, we explore the extent to which next-frame prediction serves as a strong foundational learning strategy (analogous to language modelling) for inducing an understanding of the visual world. In order to quantify the specific visual understanding induced by next-frame prediction, we introduce six diagnostic simulation video datasets derived from fundamental physical laws created by varying physical constants such as gravity and mass. We demonstrate…
