Interpreting deep neural networks through examining neurons offers distinct advantages when it comes to exploring the inner workings of Deep Neural Networks. Previous research has indicated that specific neurons within deep vision networks possess semantic meaning and play pivotal roles in model performance. Nonetheless, the current methods for generating neuron semantics heavily rely on human intervention, which hampers their scalability and applicability. To address this limitation, this paper proposes a novel post-hoc framework for generating semantic explanations of neurons with large foundation models, without requiring human intervention or prior knowledge. Experiments are conducted with both qualitative and quantitative analysis to verify the effectiveness of our proposed approach.

Simultaneous Coalition Structure Generation and Assignment (SCSGA) is an important research problem in multi-agent systems. Given n agents and m tasks, the aim of SCSGA is to form m disjoint coalitions of n agents such that between the coalitions and tasks there is a one-to-one mapping, which ensures each coalition is capable of accomplishing the assigned task. SCSGA with Multi-dimensional Features (SCSGA-MF) extends the problem by introducing a d-dimensional vector for each agent and task. We propose a heuristic algorithm called Multiple Distance Metric (MDM) approach to solve SCSGA-MF. Experimental results confirm that MDM produces near optimal solutions, while being feasible for large-scale inputs within a reasonable time frame.

Dairy owners invest heavily to keep their animals healthy. There is good reason to hope that technologies such as computer vision and artificial intelligence (AI) could reduce costs, yet obstacles arise when adapting these advanced tools to farming environments. In this work, we applied AI tools to dairy cow teat localization and teat shape classification, obtaining a model that achieves a mean average precision of 0.783. This digital twin-driven approach is intended as a first step towards automating and accelerating the detection and treatment of hyperkeratosis, mastitis, and other medical conditions that significantly burden the dairy industry.

In the era of large language models like Chatgpt, maintaining academic integrity in programming education has become challenging due to potential misuse. There's a pressing need for reliable detectors to identify Chatgpt-generated code. While previous studies have tackled model-generated text detection, identifying such code remains uncharted territory. In this paper, we introduce a novel method to discern Chatgpt-generated code. We employ targeted masking perturbation, emphasizing code sections with high perplexity. Fine-tuned CodeBERT is utilized to replace these masked sections, generating subtly perturbed samples. Our scoring system amalgamates overall perplexity, variations in code line perplexity, and burstiness. In this scoring scheme, a higher rank for the original code suggests it's more likely to be chatgpt-generated. The underlying principle is that code generated by models typically exhibits consistent, low perplexity and reduced burstiness, with its ranking remaining relatively stable even after subtle modifications. In contrast, human-written code, when perturbed, is more likely to produce samples that the model prefers. Our approach significantly outperforms current detectors, especially against OpenAI's text-davinci-003 model, with the average AUC rising from 0.56 (GPTZero baseline) to 0.87.

The problem of finding the minimum three-dimensional Kochen–Specker (KS) vector system, an important problem in quantum foundations, has remained open for over 55 years. We present a new method to address this problem based on a combination of a Boolean satisfiability (SAT) solver and a computer algebra system (CAS). Our approach improved the lower bound on the size of a KS system from 22 to 24. More importantly, we provide the first computer-verifiable proof certificate of a lower bound to the KS problem with a proof size of 41.6 TiB for order 23. The efficiency is due to the powerful combination of SAT solvers and CAS-based orderly generation.

Ad hoc teamwork is a crucial challenge that aims to design an agent capable of effective collaboration with teammates employing diverse strategies without prior coordination. However, current Population-Based Training (PBT) approaches train the ad hoc agent through interaction with diverse teammates from scratch, which suffer from low efficiency. We introduce Multi-Expert Distillation (MED), a novel approach that directly distills diverse strategies through modeling across-episodic sequences. Experiments show that our algorithm achieves more efficient and stable training and has the ability to improve its behavior using historical contexts.

Optical character recognition(OCR) is the technology to identify text characters embedded within images. Conventional OCR models exhibit performance degradation when performing with noisy images. To solve this problem, we propose a novel model, which combines computer vision using optical sensor with natural language processing by bidirectional encoder representations from transformers(BERT) and cosine similarity scoring. The proposed model uses a confidence rate to determine whether to utilize optical sensor alone or BERT/cosine similarity scoring combined with the optical sensor. Experimental results show that the proposed model outperforms approximately 4.34 times better than the conventional OCR.

Fair division is a topic that has significant social and industrial value. In this work, we study allocations that simultaneously satisfy definitions of fairness and efficiency: EFx and PO. First, we prove that the problem of finding such allocations is NP-hard for two agents. Then, we propose a concept for an ILP-based solving algorithm, the running time of which depends on the number of EFx allocations. We generate input data and analyze algorithm's running time based on the results obtained.

With the introduction of large language models, chatbots are becoming more conversational to communicate effectively and capable of handling increasingly complex tasks. To make a chatbot more relatable and engaging, we propose a new language model idea that maps the human-like personality.
In this paper, we propose a systematic Personality-Enhanced Language Model (PELM) approach by using a joint learning mechanism of personality classification and language generation tasks. The proposed PELM leverages a dataset of defined personality typology, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, and produces a Personality-Enhanced Language Model by using a joint learning and cross-teaching structure consisting of a classification and language modelling to incorporate personalities via both distinctive types and textual information. The results show that PELM can generate better personality-based outputs than baseline models.

In multi-goal reinforcement learning with a sparse binary reward, training agents is particularly challenging, due to a lack of successful experiences. To solve this problem, hindsight experience replay (HER) generates successful experiences even from unsuccessful ones. However, generating successful experiences from uniformly sampled ones is not an efficient process. In this paper, the impact of exploiting the property of achieved goals in generating successful experiences is investigated and a novel cluster-based sampling strategy is proposed. The proposed sampling strategy groups episodes with different achieved goals by using a cluster model and samples experiences in the manner of HER to create the training batch. The proposed method is validated by experiments with three robotic control tasks of the OpenAI Gym. The results of experiments demonstrate that the proposed method is substantially sample efficient and achieves better performance than baseline approaches.

Modern machine learning heavily relies on optimization, and as deep learning models grow more complex and data-hungry, the search for efficient learning becomes crucial. Learned optimizers disrupt traditional handcrafted methods such as SGD and Adam by learning the optimization strategy itself, potentially speeding up training. However, the learned optimizers' dynamics are still not well understood. To remedy this, our work explores their optimization trajectories from the perspective of network architecture symmetries and proposed parameter update distributions.
