Entropy-Informed Weighting Channel Normalizing Flow

Entropy-Informed Weighting Channel Normalizing Flow

arXiv:2407.04958v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Normalizing Flows (NFs) have gained popularity among deep generative models due to their ability to provide exact likelihood estimation and efficient sampling. However, a crucial limitation of NFs is their substantial memory requirements, arising from maintaining the dimension of the latent space equal to that of the input space. Multi-scale architectures bypass this limitation by progressively reducing the dimension of latent variables while ensuring reversibility. Existing multi-scale architectures split the latent variables in a simple, static manner at the channel level, compromising NFs' expressive power. To address this issue, we propose a regularized and feature-dependent…

qlty: handling large tensors in scientific imaging

qlty: handling large tensors in scientific imaging

arXiv:2407.04920v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In scientific imaging, deep learning has become a pivotal tool for image analytics. However, handling large volumetric datasets, which often exceed the memory capacity of standard GPUs, require special attention when subjected to deep learning efforts. This paper introduces qlty, a toolkit designed to address these challenges through tensor management techniques. qlty offers robust methods for subsampling, cleaning, and stitching of large-scale spatial data, enabling effective training and inference even in resource-limited environments.

Former employee accuses Davos summit organizers of pregnancy and race discrimination

Former employee accuses Davos summit organizers of pregnancy and race discrimination

A former employee at the World Economic Forum — the organizer of the illustrious Davos summit in the Swiss Alps — has accused the NGO and its founder, Klaus Schwab, in a lawsuit of pregnancy and race discrimination.In her lawsuit, Topaz Smith, a Black woman who worked as community lead for aviation, travel, and tourism, said she was not given the same opportunities as white colleagues — including not being invited to attend Davos in person.Smith also said in the lawsuit she was told by one of her supervisors — who is a white South African woman — to consider…

Recent Advancements and Challenges of Turkic Central Asian Language Processing

Recent Advancements and Challenges of Turkic Central Asian Language Processing

arXiv:2407.05006v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Research in the NLP sphere of the Turkic counterparts of Central Asian languages, namely Kazakh, Uzbek, Kyrgyz, and Turkmen, comes with the typical challenges of low-resource languages, like data scarcity and a general lack of linguistic resources. However, in the recent years research has greatly advanced via collection of language-specific datasets and development of downstream task technologies. Aiming to summarize this research up until May 2024, this paper also seeks to identify potential areas of future work. To achieve this, the paper gives a broad, high-level overview of the linguistic properties of the languages, the…

Early Prime Day deals bring the Fire Max 11 tablet down to $140

Early Prime Day deals bring the Fire Max 11 tablet down to $140

Amazon Prime Day will officially arrive next week on July 16, but we're already starting to see good deals pop up. Amazon's Fire Max 11 tablet has fallen back down to $140 as part of the company's Prime Day deals. Normally $230, the large slate is now $90 off — precisely what you'd need to spend for Amazon's Fire Max 11 Keyboard Case.The Fire Max 11 features, you guessed it, an 11-inch screen with a sharp 2,000 by 1,200 pixel resolution. Its octa-core CPU should be plenty for streaming media and browsing maps, and it also features 4GB of RAM.…

Headless UI alternatives: Radix Primitives, React Aria, Ark UI

Headless UI alternatives: Radix Primitives, React Aria, Ark UI

Written by Amazing Enyichi Agu✏️ Using React component libraries is a popular way to quickly build React applications. Components from this type of library have many benefits. Firstly, they follow accessibility guidelines like WAI-ARIA, ensuring everyone will find them easy to use. Secondly, they come with styling and design so developers can focus on other aspects of their applications. Thirdly, many of them have pre-defined behaviors — for example, an autocomplete component filtering options based on the user’s input — that save time and effort compared to building from scratch. Components from React component libraries are also optimized for performance.…

Beyond the Federation: Topology-aware Federated Learning for Generalization to Unseen Clients

Beyond the Federation: Topology-aware Federated Learning for Generalization to Unseen Clients

arXiv:2407.04949v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated Learning is widely employed to tackle distributed sensitive data. Existing methods primarily focus on addressing in-federation data heterogeneity. However, we observed that they suffer from significant performance degradation when applied to unseen clients for out-of-federation (OOF) generalization. The recent attempts to address generalization to unseen clients generally struggle to scale up to large-scale distributed settings due to high communication or computation costs. Moreover, methods that scale well often demonstrate poor generalization capability. To achieve OOF-resiliency in a scalable manner, we propose Topology-aware Federated Learning (TFL) that leverages client topology - a graph representing client…
