信息通过社交媒体平台的传播可以创造可能对弱势社区的环境和社会中某些群体的沉默。为了减轻此类情况，已经开发了几种模型来检测仇恨和冒犯性言论。由于在社交媒体平台中检测仇恨和冒犯性演讲可能会错误地将个人排除在社交媒体平台之外，从而减少信任，因此有必要创建可解释和可解释的模型。因此，我们基于在Twitter数据上培训的XGBOOST算法建立了一个可解释且可解释的高性能模型。对于不平衡的Twitter数据，XGBoost在仇恨言语检测上的表现优于LSTM，Autogluon和ULMFIT模型，F1得分为0.75，而0.38和0.37分别为0.37和0.38。当我们将数据放到三个单独的类别的大约5000个推文中时，XGBoost的性能优于LSTM，Autogluon和Ulmfit；仇恨言语检测的F1分别为0.79和0.69、0.77和0.66。 XGBOOST在下采样版本中的进攻性语音检测中的F1得分分别为0.83和0.88、0.82和0.79，XGBOOST的表现也比LSTM，Autogluon和Ulmfit更好。我们在XGBoost模型的输出上使用Shapley添加说明（SHAP），以使其与Black-Box模型相比，与LSTM，Autogluon和Ulmfit相比，它可以解释和解释。

The open-radio access network (O-RAN) embraces cloudification and network function virtualization for base-band function processing by dis-aggregated radio units (RUs), distributed units (DUs), and centralized units (CUs). These enable the cloud-RAN vision in full, where multiple mobile network operators (MNOs) can install their proprietary or open RUs, but lease on-demand computational resources for DU-CU functions from commonly available open-clouds via open x-haul interfaces. In this paper, we propose and compare the performances of min-max fairness and Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) auction-based x-haul and DU-CU resource allocation mechanisms to create a multi-tenant O-RAN ecosystem that is sustainable for small, medium, and large MNOs. The min-max fair approach minimizes the maximum OPEX of RUs through cost-sharing proportional to their demands, whereas the VCG auction-based approach minimizes the total OPEX for all resources utilized while extracting truthful demands from RUs. We consider time-wavelength division multiplexed (TWDM) passive optical network (PON)-based x-haul interfaces where PON virtualization technique is used to flexibly provide optical connections among RUs and edge-clouds at macro-cell RU locations as well as open-clouds at the central office locations. Moreover, we design efficient heuristics that yield significantly better economic efficiency and network resource utilization than conventional greedy resource allocation algorithms and reinforcement learning-based algorithms.

Long-term OCR services aim to provide high-quality output to their users at competitive costs. It is essential to upgrade the models because of the complex data loaded by the users. The service providers encourage the users who provide data where the OCR model fails by rewarding them based on data complexity, readability, and available budget. Hitherto, the OCR works include preparing the models on standard datasets without considering the end-users. We propose a strategy of consistently upgrading an existing Handwritten Hindi OCR model three times on the dataset of 15 users. We fix the budget of 4 users for each iteration. For the first iteration, the model directly trains on the dataset from the first four users. For the rest iteration, all remaining users write a page each, which service providers later analyze to select the 4 (new) best users based on the quality of predictions on the human-readable words. Selected users write 23 more pages for upgrading the model. We upgrade the model with Curriculum Learning (CL) on the data available in the current iteration and compare the subset from previous iterations. The upgraded model is tested on a held-out set of one page each from all 23 users. We provide insights into our investigations on the effect of CL, user selection, and especially the data from unseen writing styles. Our work can be used for long-term OCR services in crowd-sourcing scenarios for the service providers and end users.

Indian e-commerce industry has evolved over the last decade and is expected to grow over the next few years. The focus has now shifted to turnaround time (TAT) due to the emergence of many third-party logistics providers and higher customer expectations. The key consideration for delivery providers is to balance their overall operating costs while meeting the promised TAT to their customers. E-commerce delivery partners operate through a network of facilities whose strategic locations help to run the operations efficiently. In this work, we identify the locations of hubs throughout the country and their corresponding mapping with the distribution centers. The objective is to minimize the total network costs with TAT adherence. We use Genetic Algorithm and leverage business constraints to reduce the solution search space and hence the solution time. The results indicate an improvement of 9.73% in TAT compliance compared with the current scenario.

Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) is more interesting and challenging than printed text due to uneven variations in the handwriting style of the writers, content, and time. HTR becomes more challenging for the Indic languages because of (i) multiple characters combined to form conjuncts which increase the number of characters of respective languages, and (ii) near to 100 unique basic Unicode characters in each Indic script. Recently, many recognition methods based on the encoder-decoder framework have been proposed to handle such problems. They still face many challenges, such as image blur and incomplete characters due to varying writing styles and ink density. We argue that most encoder-decoder methods are based on local visual features without explicit global semantic information. In this work, we enhance the performance of Indic handwritten text recognizers using global semantic information. We use a semantic module in an encoder-decoder framework for extracting global semantic information to recognize the Indic handwritten texts. The semantic information is used in both the encoder for supervision and the decoder for initialization. The semantic information is predicted from the word embedding of a pre-trained language model. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed framework achieves state-of-the-art results on handwritten texts of ten Indic languages.

本文提议使用修改的完全连接层转移初始化，以进行1900诊断。卷积神经网络（CNN）在图像分类中取得了显着的结果。但是，由于图像识别应用程序的复杂性，培训高性能模型是一个非常复杂且耗时的过程。另一方面，转移学习是一种相对较新的学习方法，已在许多领域使用，以减少计算来实现良好的性能。在这项研究中，Pytorch预训练的模型（VGG19 \ _bn和WideresNet -101）首次在MNIST数据集中应用于初始化，并具有修改的完全连接的层。先前在Imagenet中对使用的Pytorch预培训模型进行了培训。提出的模型在Kaggle笔记本电脑中得到了开发和验证，并且在网络培训过程中没有花费巨大的计算时间，达到了99.77％的出色精度。我们还将相同的方法应用于SIIM-FISABIO-RSNA COVID-19检测数据集，并达到80.01％的精度。相比之下，以前的方法在训练过程中需要大量的压缩时间才能达到高性能模型。代码可在以下链接上找到：github.com/dipuk0506/spinalnet

最近已证明，平均场控制（MFC）是可扩展的工具，可近似解决大规模的多代理增强学习（MARL）问题。但是，这些研究通常仅限于无约束的累积奖励最大化框架。在本文中，我们表明，即使在存在约束的情况下，也可以使用MFC方法近似MARL问题。具体来说，我们证明，一个$ n $ agent的约束MARL问题，以及每个尺寸的尺寸$ | \ Mathcal {x} | $和$ | \ Mathcal {u} | $的状态和操作空间，可以通过与错误相关的约束MFC问题近似，$ e \ triangleq \ Mathcal {o} \ left（[\ sqrt {| \ Mathcal {| \ Mathcal {x} |} |}+\ sqrt {| ]/\ sqrt {n} \ right）$。在奖励，成本和状态过渡功能独立于人口的行动分布的特殊情况下，我们证明该错误可以将错误提高到$ e = \ nathcal {o}（\ sqrt {| | \ Mathcal {x x x } |}/\ sqrt {n}）$。另外，我们提供了一种基于自然策略梯度的算法，并证明它可以在$ \ Mathcal {o}（e）$的错误中解决受约束的MARL问题，并具有$ \ MATHCAL {O}的样本复杂性（E^{ - e^{ - 6}）$。

我们表明，在合作$ n $ n $ agent网络中，可以为代理设计本地可执行的策略，以使所得的平均奖励（值）的折现总和非常接近于计算出的最佳价值（包括非本地）策略。具体而言，我们证明，如果$ | \ MATHCAL {X} |，| \ MATHCAL {U} | $表示状态大小和单个代理的操作空间，那么对于足够小的折现因子，近似错误，则由$ \ MATHCAL {o}（e）$ where $ e \ triangleq \ frac {1} {\ sqrt {n}}} \ left [\ sqrt {\ sqrt {| \ Mathcal {x}} |} |} |} |}+\ sqrt { } |} \ right] $。此外，在一种特殊情况下，奖励和状态过渡功能独立于人口的行动分布，错误将$ \ nathcal {o}（e）$提高到其中$ e \ e \ triangleq \ frac {1} {\ sqrt {\ sqrt {n}} \ sqrt {| \ Mathcal {x} |} $。最后，我们还设计了一种算法来明确构建本地政策。在我们的近似结果的帮助下，我们进一步确定构建的本地策略在$ \ Mathcal {o}（\ max \ {e，\ epsilon \}）$最佳策略的距离之内对于任何$ \ epsilon> 0 $，本地策略是$ \ MATHCAL {O}（\ Epsilon^{ - 3}）$。

今天，参加在线论坛上的讨论非常普遍，这些讨论已经开始对在线用户的整体意见产生强大的影响。 Naturally, twisting the flow of the argument can have a strong impact on the minds of naive users, which in the long run might have socio-political ramifications, for example, winning an election or spreading targeted misinformation.因此，这些平台可能非常容易受到恶意玩家的影响，他们可能会单独采取行动，也可能是繁殖谬误的争论，并动机促进公众舆论。 AD HOMINEM论点是此类谬论中最有效的形式之一。尽管是一个简单的谬论，但它足够有效，可以在离线世界中进行公开辩论，并且可以用作阻止诽谤反对派声音的先驱。在这项工作中，我们迈出了第一步，以阐明野外Ad Hominem谬论的使用。首先，我们建立了一个具有很高准确性的强大AD HOMINEM探测器（F1超过83％，对先前的工作显示出显着改善），即使对于注释的实例构成很小一部分的数据集也是如此。然后，我们在从在线辩论论坛中收集的265k参数（创建者）中使用了我们的检测器。我们的众包调查验证了我们对创建ebate数据的野外预测（94％与手动注释相匹配）。我们的分析表明，令人惊讶的31.23％的创建ebate内容包含AD HOMINEM谬论，并且一群高度活跃的用户的同类发表了更大的AD AD本人，以抑制相反的观点。然后，我们的时间分析表明，自2016年美国总统大选以来，AD HOMINEM论点的使用量显着增加，不仅是政治等主题，而且对于科学和法律。最后，我们讨论了我们的工作的重要意义，以检测和防御AD HOMINEM谬论。

深度学习（DL）系统的安全性是一个极为重要的研究领域，因为它们正在部署在多个应用程序中，因为它们不断改善，以解决具有挑战性的任务。尽管有压倒性的承诺，但深度学习系统容易受到制作的对抗性例子的影响，这可能是人眼无法察觉的，但可能会导致模型错误分类。对基于整体技术的对抗性扰动的保护已被证明很容易受到更强大的对手的影响，或者证明缺乏端到端评估。在本文中，我们试图开发一种新的基于整体的解决方案，该解决方案构建具有不同决策边界的防御者模型相对于原始模型。通过（1）通过一种称为拆分和剃须的方法转换输入的分类器的合奏，以及（2）通过一种称为对比度功能的方法限制重要特征，显示出相对于相对于不同的梯度对抗性攻击，这减少了将对抗性示例从原始示例转移到针对同一类的防御者模型的机会。我们使用标准图像分类数据集（即MNIST，CIFAR-10和CIFAR-100）进行了广泛的实验，以实现最新的对抗攻击，以证明基于合奏的防御的鲁棒性。我们还在存在更强大的对手的情况下评估稳健性，该对手同时靶向合奏中的所有模型。已经提供了整体假阳性和误报的结果，以估计提出的方法的总体性能。
