Recent advances in language modeling have enabled new conversational systems. In particular, it is often desirable for people to make choices among specified options when using such systems. We address the problem of reference resolution, when people use natural expressions to choose between real world entities. For example, given the choice `Should we make a Simnel cake or a Pandan cake?' a natural response from a non-expert may be indirect: `let's make the green one'. Reference resolution has been little studied with natural expressions, thus robustly understanding such language has large potential for improving naturalness in dialog, recommendation, and search systems. We create AltEntities (Alternative Entities), a new public dataset of entity pairs and utterances, and develop models for the disambiguation problem. Consisting of 42K indirect referring expressions across three domains, it enables for the first time the study of how large language models can be adapted to this task. We find they achieve 82%-87% accuracy in realistic settings, which while reasonable also invites further advances.

National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations(NASDAQ) is an American stock exchange based. It is one of the most valuable stock economic indices in the world and is located in New York City \cite{pagano2008quality}. The volatility of the stock market and the influence of economic indicators such as crude oil, gold, and the dollar in the stock market, and NASDAQ shares are also affected and have a volatile and chaotic nature \cite{firouzjaee2022lstm}.In this article, we have examined the effect of oil, dollar, gold, and the volatility of the stock market in the economic market, and then we have also examined the effect of these indicators on NASDAQ stocks. Then we started to analyze the impact of the feedback on the past prices of NASDAQ stocks and its impact on the current price. Using PCA and Linear Regression algorithm, we have designed an optimal dynamic learning experience for modeling these stocks. The results obtained from the quantitative analysis are consistent with the results of the qualitative analysis of economic studies, and the modeling done with the optimal dynamic experience of machine learning justifies the current price of NASDAQ shares.

Light guide plates are essential optical components widely used in a diverse range of applications ranging from medical lighting fixtures to back-lit TV displays. In this work, we introduce a fully-integrated, high-throughput, high-performance deep learning-driven workflow for light guide plate surface visual quality inspection (VQI) tailored for real-world manufacturing environments. To enable automated VQI on the edge computing within the fully-integrated VQI system, a highly compact deep anti-aliased attention condenser neural network (which we name LightDefectNet) tailored specifically for light guide plate surface defect detection in resource-constrained scenarios was created via machine-driven design exploration with computational and "best-practices" constraints as well as L_1 paired classification discrepancy loss. Experiments show that LightDetectNet achieves a detection accuracy of ~98.2% on the LGPSDD benchmark while having just 770K parameters (~33X and ~6.9X lower than ResNet-50 and EfficientNet-B0, respectively) and ~93M FLOPs (~88X and ~8.4X lower than ResNet-50 and EfficientNet-B0, respectively) and ~8.8X faster inference speed than EfficientNet-B0 on an embedded ARM processor. As such, the proposed deep learning-driven workflow, integrated with the aforementioned LightDefectNet neural network, is highly suited for high-throughput, high-performance light plate surface VQI within real-world manufacturing environments.

WSD (Word Sense Disambiguation) is the task of identifying which sense of a word is meant in a sentence or other segment of text. Researchers have worked on this task (e.g. Pustejovsky, 2002) for years but it's still a challenging one even for SOTA (state-of-the-art) LMs (language models). The new dataset, TempoWiC introduced by Loureiro et al. (2022b) focuses on the fact that words change over time. Their best baseline achieves 70.33% macro-F1. In this work, we use two different losses simultaneously to train RoBERTa-based classification models. We also improve our model by using another similar dataset to generalize better. Our best configuration beats their best baseline by 4.23% and reaches 74.56% macroF1.

Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) are one of the most potent parametric density estimators based on the kernel model that finds application in many scientific domains. In recent years, with the dramatic enlargement of data sources, typical machine learning algorithms, e.g. Expectation Maximization (EM), encounters difficulty with high-dimensional and streaming data. Moreover, complicated densities often demand a large number of Gaussian components. This paper proposes a fast online parameter estimation algorithm for GMM by using first-order stochastic optimization. This approach provides a framework to cope with the challenges of GMM when faced with high-dimensional streaming data and complex densities by leveraging the flexibly-tied factorization of the covariance matrix. A new stochastic Manifold optimization algorithm that preserves the orthogonality is introduced and used along with the well-known Euclidean space numerical optimization. Numerous empirical results on both synthetic and real datasets justify the effectiveness of our proposed stochastic method over EM-based methods in the sense of better-converged maximum for likelihood function, fewer number of needed epochs for convergence, and less time consumption per epoch.

Covid-19是一种攻击上呼吸道和肺部的新型病毒。它的人对人的传播性非常迅速，这在个人生活的各个方面都引起了严重的问题。尽管一些感染的人可能仍然完全无症状，但经常被目睹有轻度至重度症状。除此之外，全球成千上万的死亡案件表明，检测Covid-19是社区的紧急需求。实际上，这是在筛选医学图像（例如计算机断层扫描（CT）和X射线图像）的帮助下进行的。但是，繁琐的临床程序和大量的每日病例对医生构成了巨大挑战。基于深度学习的方法在广泛的医疗任务中表现出了巨大的潜力。结果，我们引入了一种基于变压器的方法，用于使用紧凑卷积变压器（CCT）自动从X射线图像中自动检测COVID-19。我们的广泛实验证明了该方法的疗效，精度为98％，比以前的作品表现优于先前的作品。

近年来，视频广播行业一直在显着增长，特别是向最终用户提供个性化内容。虽然视频广播不断增长，但视频纵向已成为直接向观众传递有针对性消息的关键营销工具。但是，不幸的是，对于宽带电视而言，一个关键问题是电视广告针对广泛的受众，因此缺乏特定用户和个性化的广告内容。在本文中，我们提出了一个深云的广告座系统，并简要描述了我们的方法论以及我们设计的广告放置系统的体系结构，以通过MMT流协议交付视频（VOD）和实时广播电视内容。我们论文的目的是展示如何在未来的5G MEC平台上启用针对性，个性化和用户特定的广告服务，这反过来又具有很高的潜力来增加移动运营商行业的广告收入。

不平衡的数据（ID）是阻止机器学习（ML）模型以实现令人满意的结果的问题。 ID是一种情况，即属于一个类别的样本的数量超过另一个类别的情况，这使此类模型学习过程偏向多数类。近年来，为了解决这个问题，已经提出了几种解决方案，该解决方案选择合成为少数族裔类生成新数据，或者减少平衡数据的多数类的数量。因此，在本文中，我们研究了基于深神经网络（DNN）和卷积神经网络（CNN）的方法的有效性，并与各种众所周知的不平衡数据解决方案混合，这意味着过采样和降采样。为了评估我们的方法，我们使用了龙骨，乳腺癌和Z-Alizadeh Sani数据集。为了获得可靠的结果，我们通过随机洗牌的数据分布进行了100次实验。分类结果表明，混合的合成少数族裔过采样技术（SMOTE） - 正态化-CNN优于在24个不平衡数据集上达到99.08％精度的不同方法。因此，提出的混合模型可以应用于其他实际数据集上的不平衡算法分类问题。

随着越来越多的深度学习对在设备上的Tinyml应用程序的采用，人们对对边缘进行优化的更有效的神经网络骨架的需求不断增加。最近，注意力冷凝器网络的引入导致低英寸，高效，自我发挥的神经网络，在准确性和速度之间取得了强大的平衡。在这项研究中，我们介绍了一种新的更快的注意力冷凝器设计，称为双感应注意力冷凝器，以实现更多的冷凝特征嵌入。我们进一步采用了机器驱动的设计探索策略，该策略施加了最佳实践设计限制，以提高效率和稳健性，以产生骨干的宏观构造结构。与其他几个其他最先进的有效骨架相比，所得的主链（我们命名为“参加”）在嵌入式ARM处理器上的推理吞吐量明显更高（以较高的精度和速度比FB-NET C快> 10倍）小型型号尺寸（以较高的速度和类似的精度小于OFA-62小1.47倍），并且准确性（以更高速度的ImageNet上的MobileVit Xs高1.1％）。这些有希望的结果表明，探索不同的有效体系结构设计和自我注意力的机制可以为Tinyml应用带来有趣的新构建块。

为了克服多个对象跟踪任务中的挑战，最近的算法将交互线索与运动和外观特征一起使用。这些算法使用图形神经网络或变压器来提取导致高计算成本的交互功能。在本文中，提出了一种基于几何特征的新型交互提示，旨在检测遮挡和重新识别计算成本低的丢失目标。此外，在大多数算法中，摄像机运动被认为可以忽略不计，这是一个强有力的假设，并不总是正确的，并且导致目标转换或目标不匹配。在本文中，提出了一种测量相机运动和删除其效果的方法，可有效地降低相机运动对跟踪的影响。该算法在MOT17和MOT20数据集上进行了评估，并在MOT20上实现了MOT17的最先进性能和可比较的结果。该代码也可以公开使用。
