Learning to Ask: Conversational Product Search via Representation Learning

arXiv:2411.14466v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Online shopping platforms, such as Amazon and AliExpress, are increasingly prevalent in society, helping customers purchase products conveniently. With recent progress in natural language processing, researchers and practitioners shift their focus from traditional product search to conversational product search. Conversational product search enables user-machine conversations and through them collects explicit user feedback that allows to actively clarify the users' product preferences. Therefore, prospective research on an intelligent shopping assistant via conversations is indispensable. Existing publications on conversational product search either model conversations independently from users, queries, and products or lead to a vocabulary mismatch. In…

CycleGAN with Better Cycles

CycleGAN with Better Cycles

[Submitted on 27 Aug 2024 (v1), last revised 21 Nov 2024 (this version, v2)] View a PDF of the paper titled CycleGAN with Better Cycles, by Tongzhou Wang and 1 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:CycleGAN provides a framework to train image-to-image translation with unpaired datasets using cycle consistency loss [4]. While results are great in many applications, the pixel level cycle consistency can potentially be problematic and causes unrealistic images in certain cases. In this project, we propose three simple modifications to cycle consistency, and show that such an approach achieves better results with fewer artifacts. Submission history…

GTA: A Benchmark for General Tool Agents

GTA: A Benchmark for General Tool Agents

[Submitted on 11 Jul 2024 (v1), last revised 22 Nov 2024 (this version, v2)] View a PDF of the paper titled GTA: A Benchmark for General Tool Agents, by Jize Wang and 6 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:Significant focus has been placed on integrating large language models (LLMs) with various tools in developing general-purpose agents. This poses a challenge to LLMs' tool-use capabilities. However, there are evident gaps between existing tool-use evaluations and real-world scenarios. Current evaluations often use AI-generated queries, single-step tasks, dummy tools, and text-only interactions, failing to reveal the agents' real-world problem-solving abilities effectively. To…

Structural Group Unfairness: Measurement and Mitigation by means of the Effective Resistance

[Submitted on 5 May 2023 (v1), last revised 22 Nov 2024 (this version, v3)] View a PDF of the paper titled Structural Group Unfairness: Measurement and Mitigation by means of the Effective Resistance, by Adrian Arnaiz-Rodriguez and 2 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:Social networks contribute to the distribution of social capital, defined as the relationships, norms of trust and reciprocity within a community or society that facilitate cooperation and collective action. Therefore, better positioned members in a social network benefit from faster access to diverse information and higher influence on information dissemination. A variety of methods have been…

Comparative Analysis of nnUNet and MedNeXt for Head and Neck Tumor Segmentation in MRI-guided Radiotherapy

Comparative Analysis of nnUNet and MedNeXt for Head and Neck Tumor Segmentation in MRI-guided Radiotherapy

arXiv:2411.14752v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Radiation therapy (RT) is essential in treating head and neck cancer (HNC), with magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)-guided RT offering superior soft tissue contrast and functional imaging. However, manual tumor segmentation is time-consuming and complex, and therfore remains a challenge. In this study, we present our solution as team TUMOR to the HNTS-MRG24 MICCAI Challenge which is focused on automated segmentation of primary gross tumor volumes (GTVp) and metastatic lymph node gross tumor volume (GTVn) in pre-RT and mid-RT MRI images. We utilized the HNTS-MRG2024 dataset, which consists of 150 MRI scans from patients diagnosed with HNC,…

Towards Knowledge Checking in Retrieval-augmented Generation: A Representation Perspective

Towards Knowledge Checking in Retrieval-augmented Generation: A Representation Perspective

arXiv:2411.14572v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems have shown promise in enhancing the performance of Large Language Models (LLMs). However, these systems face challenges in effectively integrating external knowledge with the LLM's internal knowledge, often leading to issues with misleading or unhelpful information. This work aims to provide a systematic study on knowledge checking in RAG systems. We conduct a comprehensive analysis of LLM representation behaviors and demonstrate the significance of using representations in knowledge checking. Motivated by the findings, we further develop representation-based classifiers for knowledge filtering. We show substantial improvements in RAG performance, even when dealing…

LiDAR-based End-to-end Temporal Perception for Vehicle-Infrastructure Cooperation

LiDAR-based End-to-end Temporal Perception for Vehicle-Infrastructure Cooperation

arXiv:2411.14927v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Temporal perception, the ability to detect and track objects over time, is critical in autonomous driving for maintaining a comprehensive understanding of dynamic environments. However, this task is hindered by significant challenges, including incomplete perception caused by occluded objects and observational blind spots, which are common in single-vehicle perception systems. To address these issues, we introduce LET-VIC, a LiDAR-based End-to-End Tracking framework for Vehicle-Infrastructure Cooperation (VIC). LET-VIC leverages Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication to enhance temporal perception by fusing spatial and temporal data from both vehicle and infrastructure sensors. First, it spatially integrates Bird's Eye View (BEV)…
