Abstractive summarization has enjoyed renewed interest in recent years, thanks to pre-trained language models and the availability of large-scale datasets. Despite promising results, current models still suffer from generating factually inconsistent summaries, reducing their utility for real-world application. Several recent efforts attempt to address this by devising models that automatically detect factual inconsistencies in machine generated summaries. However, they focus exclusively on English, a language with abundant resources. In this work, we leverage factual consistency evaluation models to improve multilingual summarization. We explore two intuitive approaches to mitigate hallucinations based on the signal provided by a multilingual NLI model, namely data filtering and controlled generation. Experimental results in the 45 languages from the XLSum dataset show gains over strong baselines in both automatic and human evaluation.

We consider the problem of automatically generating stories in multiple languages. Compared to prior work in monolingual story generation, crosslingual story generation allows for more universal research on story planning. We propose to use Prompting Large Language Models with Plans to study which plan is optimal for story generation. We consider 4 types of plans and systematically analyse how the outputs differ for different planning strategies. The study demonstrates that formulating the plans as question-answer pairs leads to more coherent generated stories while the plan gives more control to the story creators.

Federated learning (FL) has emerged as an instance of distributed machine learning paradigm that avoids the transmission of data generated on the users' side. Although data are not transmitted, edge devices have to deal with limited communication bandwidths, data heterogeneity, and straggler effects due to the limited computational resources of users' devices. A prominent approach to overcome such difficulties is FedADMM, which is based on the classical two-operator consensus alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). The common assumption of FL algorithms, including FedADMM, is that they learn a global model using data only on the users' side and not on the edge server. However, in edge learning, the server is expected to be near the base station and have direct access to rich datasets. In this paper, we argue that leveraging the rich data on the edge server is much more beneficial than utilizing only user datasets. Specifically, we show that the mere application of FL with an additional virtual user node representing the data on the edge server is inefficient. We propose FedTOP-ADMM, which generalizes FedADMM and is based on a three-operator ADMM-type technique that exploits a smooth cost function on the edge server to learn a global model parallel to the edge devices. Our numerical experiments indicate that FedTOP-ADMM has substantial gain up to 33\% in communication efficiency to reach a desired test accuracy with respect to FedADMM, including a virtual user on the edge server.

With the rising adoption of Machine Learning across the domains like banking, pharmaceutical, ed-tech, etc, it has become utmost important to adopt responsible AI methods to ensure models are not unfairly discriminating against any group. Given the lack of clean training data, generative adversarial techniques are preferred to generate synthetic data with several state-of-the-art architectures readily available across various domains from unstructured data such as text, images to structured datasets modelling fraud detection and many more. These techniques overcome several challenges such as class imbalance, limited training data, restricted access to data due to privacy issues. Existing work focusing on generating fair data either works for a certain GAN architecture or is very difficult to tune across the GANs. In this paper, we propose a pipeline to generate fairer synthetic data independent of the GAN architecture. The proposed paper utilizes a pre-processing algorithm to identify and remove bias inducing samples. In particular, we claim that while generating synthetic data most GANs amplify bias present in the training data but by removing these bias inducing samples, GANs essentially focuses more on real informative samples. Our experimental evaluation on two open-source datasets demonstrates how the proposed pipeline is generating fair data along with improved performance in some cases.

在过去的十年中，我们看到了工业数据，计算能力的巨大改善以及机器学习的重大理论进步。这为在大规模非线性监控和控制问题上使用现代机器学习工具提供了机会。本文对过程行业的应用进行了对最新结果的调查。

弥补联邦学习（FL）模型的分散培训中所涉及的成本的激励措施是客户长期参与的关键刺激。但是，由于缺乏以下信息，请说服客户在FL上进行质量参与：（i）有关客户数据质量和属性的完整信息； （ii）客户数据贡献的价值； （iii）货币奖励优惠的可信赖机制。这通常会导致培训和沟通效率较差。尽管有几项工作着重于战略激励设计和客户选择以克服这个问题，但就针对预见的数字经济（包括Web 3.0）量身定制的总体设计存在一个重大的知识差距，同时同时实现了学习目标。为了解决这一差距，我们提出了一个基于贡献的令牌化激励方案，即\ texttt {fedToken}，并得到区块链技术的支持，可确保在模型培训期间与其数据估值相对应的客户之间的公平分配。利用工程设计的基于Shapley的计划，我们首先近似模型聚合过程中本地模型的贡献，然后战略性地安排客户降低沟通循环的融合和锚定方式，以分配\ emph {负担得起的}代币在受限的货币预算下。广泛的模拟证明了我们提出的方法的功效。

元学习是机器学习的一个分支，旨在将相关任务分布的数据合成以有效地解决新的数据。在过程控制中，许多系统具有相似且充分理解的动力学，这表明可以通过元学习创建可推广的控制器是可行的。在这项工作中，我们制定了一种元加强学习（META-RL）控制策略，该策略利用已知的离线信息进行培训，例如模型结构。对模型参数的分布而不是单个模型，对元RL代理进行了训练，从而使代理能够自动适应过程动力学的变化，同时保持性能。一个关键的设计元素是能够在培训期间离线利用基于模型的信息，同时保持与新环境交互的无模型策略结构。我们以前的工作已经证明了如何将这种方法应用于调整比例综合控制器以控制一阶过程的与工业相关的问题。在这项工作中，我们简要地重新引入了我们的方法，并证明了如何将其扩展到比例综合衍生的控制器和二阶系统。

文本生成的广泛使用的评估指标要么与更长的文本效果不错，要么无法评估文本质量的所有方面。在本文中，我们引入了一个名为SMART的新指标，以减轻此类限制。具体而言，我们将句子视为匹配的基本单位，而不是代币，并使用句子匹配函数来匹配匹配候选和参考句子。还将候选句子与源文件中的句子进行了比较，以允许接地（例如，事实）评估。我们的结果表明，我们提出的指标与基于模型的匹配函数的系统级相关性优于萨姆瓦尔摘要元评估数据集上的所有竞争指标指标。后者不使用任何神经模型，这在模型开发阶段很有用，在这些阶段，资源可以受到限制且需要快速评估。最后，我们还进行了广泛的分析，表明我们提出的指标与较长的摘要很好地运行，并且对特定模型的偏见较小。

小儿肌肉骨骼系统的临床诊断依赖于医学成像检查的分析。在医学图像处理管道中，使用深度学习算法的语义分割使人可以自动生成患者特定的三维解剖模型，这对于形态学评估至关重要。但是，小儿成像资源的稀缺性可能导致单个深层分割模型的准确性和泛化性能降低。在这项研究中，我们建议设计一个新型的多任务多任务多域学习框架，在该框架中，单个分割网络对由解剖学的不同部分产生的多个数据集进行了优化。与以前的方法不同，我们同时考虑多个强度域和分割任务来克服小儿数据的固有稀缺性，同时利用成像数据集之间的共享特征。为了进一步提高概括能力，我们从自然图像分类中采用了转移学习方案，以及旨在在共享表示中促进域特异性群集的多尺度对比正则化，以及多连接解剖学先验来执行解剖学上一致的预测。我们评估了使用脚踝，膝盖和肩关节的三个稀缺和小儿成像数据集进行骨分割的贡献。我们的结果表明，所提出的方法在骰子指标中的表现优于个人，转移和共享分割方案，并具有统计学上足够的利润。拟议的模型为智能使用成像资源和更好地管理小儿肌肉骨骼疾病提供了新的观点。
