Injecting Hierarchical Biological Priors into Graph Neural Networks for Flow Cytometry Prediction

arXiv:2405.18507v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In the complex landscape of hematologic samples such as peripheral blood or bone marrow derived from flow cytometry (FC) data, cell-level prediction presents profound challenges. This work explores injecting hierarchical prior knowledge into graph neural networks (GNNs) for single-cell multi-class classification of tabular cellular data. By representing the data as graphs and encoding hierarchical relationships between classes, we propose our hierarchical plug-in method to be applied to several GNN models, namely, FCHC-GNN, and effectively designed to capture neighborhood information crucial for single-cell FC domain. Extensive experiments on our cohort of 19 distinct patients, demonstrate that…

Salesforce plummets as weak forecast sparks concerns of AI competition

Salesforce shares slumped about 18% on Thursday, after its lowest-ever quarterly revenue growth forecast raised fears that high interest rates and rival AI offerings were hampering demand at the cloud-based software firm.The company could lose more than $48bn in market value if losses hold, as it also reported quarterly revenue that was below expectations for the first time since 2006.“Weak bookings in Q1 further test investor patience as the GenAI [generative AI] innovation cycle has yet to inflect top-line results and now increasingly becomes a point of competitive concern,” Morgan Stanley analysts said.Salesforce’s AI-focused data cloud business contributed to 25%…

WeWork Survived Bankruptcy. Now It Has to Make Coworking Pay Off

WeWork Survived Bankruptcy. Now It Has to Make Coworking Pay Off

WeWork is set to become a smaller—and potentially right-sized—company. Following a final hearing on its bankruptcy plan Thursday morning, the coworking pioneer will have fewer locations, a new influx of capital, and $4 billion in debt wiped from its books.In a packed courtroom in Newark, New Jersey, Judge John Sherwood approved WeWork’s restructuring plan. WeWork expects to finally exit bankruptcy in mid-June. The plan also staved off a bid by WeWork’s controversial founder Adam Neumann, who had sought to buy back the company he founded before he was infamously ousted.WeWork’s clean slate will coincide with a new era of working,…

Anomaly detection for the identification of volcanic unrest in satellite imagery

Anomaly detection for the identification of volcanic unrest in satellite imagery

[Submitted on 28 May 2024] View a PDF of the paper titled Anomaly detection for the identification of volcanic unrest in satellite imagery, by Robert Gabriel Popescu and 2 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:Satellite images have the potential to detect volcanic deformation prior to eruptions, but while a vast number of images are routinely acquired, only a small percentage contain volcanic deformation events. Manual inspection could miss these anomalies, and an automatic system modelled with supervised learning requires suitably labelled datasets. To tackle these issues, this paper explores the use of unsupervised deep learning on satellite data for…

Instagram makes its status update feature more interactive

Instagram makes its status update feature more interactive

Instagram launched Notes in December 2022 as a way for people to share statuses (not so dissimilar to Facebook) on the platform. Now, the Meta-owned app is taking inspiration from its sister site for more features, with the addition of Note Prompts.Instagram first experimented with Note Prompts earlier this year, and the feature allows users to share questions such as "What should I eat?" or "Who is going to be in X city this weekend?" Friends can then respond with tips, suggestions and random thoughts on the subject. It feels very Facebook circa 2012, as does another new feature, Mentions,…

AI is cracking a hard problem – giving computers a sense of smell

AI is cracking a hard problem – giving computers a sense of smell

Over 100 years ago, Alexander Graham Bell asked the readers of National Geographic to do something bold and fresh – “to found a new science.” He pointed out that sciences based on the measurements of sound and light already existed. But there was no science of odor. Bell asked his readers to “measure a smell.” Today, smartphones in most people’s pockets provide impressive built-in capabilities based on the sciences of sound and light: voice assistants, facial recognition and photo enhancement. The science of odor does not offer anything comparable. But that situation is changing, as advances in machine olfaction, also…

Tesla accuses advisory firm of ‘scaremongering’ after it urged investors to vote against Musk’s pay package

Tesla was quick to fire back at Glass Lewis after the advisory firm encouraged shareholders to vote against the company's $55 billion compensation plan for Elon Musk.In a letter to shareholders on Wednesday, Tesla slammed Glass Lewis, accusing the firm of "scaremongering" and faulty reasoning."In its report, Glass Lewis omits key consideration, uses faulty logic, and relies on speculation and hypotheticals," Tesla wrote in a letter to investors titled "What Glass Lewis Got Wrong About Tesla." The automaker hit back at multiple claims presented in Glass Lewis' 71-page report that was published Saturday and first reported by Bloomberg. Glass Lewis…

Learning diverse attacks on large language models for robust red-teaming and safety tuning

Learning diverse attacks on large language models for robust red-teaming and safety tuning

arXiv:2405.18540v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Red-teaming, or identifying prompts that elicit harmful responses, is a critical step in ensuring the safe and responsible deployment of large language models (LLMs). Developing effective protection against many modes of attack prompts requires discovering diverse attacks. Automated red-teaming typically uses reinforcement learning to fine-tune an attacker language model to generate prompts that elicit undesirable responses from a target LLM, as measured, for example, by an auxiliary toxicity classifier. We show that even with explicit regularization to favor novelty and diversity, existing approaches suffer from mode collapse or fail to generate effective attacks. As a…
