Causal Representation Learning with Generative Artificial Intelligence: Application to Texts as Treatments

[Submitted on 1 Oct 2024 (v1), last revised 22 Nov 2024 (this version, v2)] View a PDF of the paper titled Causal Representation Learning with Generative Artificial Intelligence: Application to Texts as Treatments, by Kosuke Imai and 1 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:In this paper, we demonstrate how to enhance the validity of causal inference with unstructured high-dimensional treatments like texts, by leveraging the power of generative Artificial Intelligence. Specifically, we propose to use a deep generative model such as large language models (LLMs) to efficiently generate treatments and use their internal representation for subsequent causal effect estimation.…

Bayesian dynamic mode decomposition for real-time ship motion digital twinning

Bayesian dynamic mode decomposition for real-time ship motion digital twinning

arXiv:2411.14839v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Digital twins are widely considered enablers of groundbreaking changes in the development, operation, and maintenance of novel generations of products. They are meant to provide reliable and timely predictions to inform decisions along the entire product life cycle. One of their most interesting applications in the naval field is the digital twinning of ship performances in waves, a crucial aspect in design and operation safety. In this paper, a Bayesian extension of the Hankel dynamic mode decomposition method is proposed for ship motion's nowcasting as a prediction tool for naval digital twins. The proposed algorithm…

Dimension-independent rates for structured neural density estimation

Dimension-independent rates for structured neural density estimation

arXiv:2411.15095v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We show that deep neural networks achieve dimension-independent rates of convergence for learning structured densities such as those arising in image, audio, video, and text applications. More precisely, we demonstrate that neural networks with a simple $L^2$-minimizing loss achieve a rate of $n^{-1/(4+r)}$ in nonparametric density estimation when the underlying density is Markov to a graph whose maximum clique size is at most $r$, and we provide evidence that in the aforementioned applications, this size is typically constant, i.e., $r=O(1)$. We then establish that the optimal rate in $L^1$ is $n^{-1/(2+r)}$ which, compared to the…

iOS App Testing Checklist: Why It Matters

iOS App Testing Checklist: Why It Matters

The iOS app testing checklist serves as a crucial process for evaluating and refining iOS applications before they reach the public domain. This methodical testing procedure aims to detect and rectify any bugs, performance issues, or usability concerns, ensuring compliance with Apple’s store Review Guidelines. Importance of the iOS App Testing Checklist The iOS app testing checklist carries immense significance for several reasons: Enhanced User Experience: By pinpointing and resolving usability issues, testing contributes to crafting an intuitive and user-friendly app interface, thereby elevating the overall user experience. Improved App Quality: Through rigorous testing, developers can identify and eliminate bugs,…

Microsoft blocks Windows 11 24H2 update on PCs with Star Wars Outlaws and Assassin’s Creed – gHacks Tech News

Microsoft blocks Windows 11 24H2 update on PCs with Star Wars Outlaws and Assassin’s Creed – gHacks Tech News

Are your games crashing or freezing after installing Windows 11 24H2? You are not alone. Microsoft is blocking the Windows 11 24H2 update on PCs that have some Ubisoft games installed. Gamers who had upgraded to the latest version of the operating system had reported that they had problems getting Assassin's Creed games to run on their computer. They would fail to launch, freeze on loading a save, crash to the desktop, etc. Some of these games would crash without an error message. The thing is, these are not new issues that sprang up yesterday out of the blue. Users…

DyCoke: Dynamic Compression of Tokens for Fast Video Large Language Models

DyCoke: Dynamic Compression of Tokens for Fast Video Large Language Models

arXiv:2411.15024v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Video large language models (VLLMs) have significantly advanced recently in processing complex video content, yet their inference efficiency remains constrained because of the high computational cost stemming from the thousands of visual tokens generated from the video inputs. We empirically observe that, unlike single image inputs, VLLMs typically attend visual tokens from different frames at different decoding iterations, making a one-shot pruning strategy prone to removing important tokens by mistake. Motivated by this, we present DyCoke, a training-free token compression method to optimize token representation and accelerate VLLMs. DyCoke incorporates a plug-and-play temporal compression module…
