Some recent pieces of work in the Machine Learning (ML) literature have demonstrated the usefulness of assessing which observations are hardest to have their label predicted accurately. By identifying such instances, one may inspect whether they have any quality issues that should be addressed. Learning strategies based on the difficulty level of the observations can also be devised. This paper presents a set of meta-features that aim at characterizing which instances of a dataset are hardest to have their label predicted accurately and why they are so, aka instance hardness measures. Both classification and regression problems are considered. Synthetic datasets with different levels of complexity are built and analyzed. A Python package containing all implementations is also provided.

Applying deep learning concepts from image detection and graph theory has greatly advanced protein-ligand binding affinity prediction, a challenge with enormous ramifications for both drug discovery and protein engineering. We build upon these advances by designing a novel deep learning architecture consisting of a 3-dimensional convolutional neural network utilizing channel-wise attention and two graph convolutional networks utilizing attention-based aggregation of node features. HAC-Net (Hybrid Attention-Based Convolutional Neural Network) obtains state-of-the-art results on the PDBbind v.2016 core set, the most widely recognized benchmark in the field. We extensively assess the generalizability of our model using multiple train-test splits, each of which maximizes differences between either protein structures, protein sequences, or ligand extended-connectivity fingerprints. Furthermore, we perform 10-fold cross-validation with a similarity cutoff between SMILES strings of ligands in the training and test sets, and also evaluate the performance of HAC-Net on lower-quality data. We envision that this model can be extended to a broad range of supervised learning problems related to structure-based biomolecular property prediction. All of our software is available as open source at https://github.com/gregory-kyro/HAC-Net/.

Many machine learning algorithms have been developed in recent years to enhance the performance of a model in different aspects of artificial intelligence. But the problem persists due to inadequate data and resources. Integrating knowledge in a machine learning model can help to overcome these obstacles up to a certain degree. Incorporating knowledge is a complex task though because of various forms of knowledge representation. In this paper, we will give a brief overview of these different forms of knowledge integration and their performance in certain machine learning tasks.

Large language models (LLMs) have been shown to be able to perform new tasks based on a few demonstrations or natural language instructions. While these capabilities have led to widespread adoption, most LLMs are developed by resource-rich organizations and are frequently kept from the public. As a step towards democratizing this powerful technology, we present BLOOM, a 176B-parameter open-access language model designed and built thanks to a collaboration of hundreds of researchers. BLOOM is a decoder-only Transformer language model that was trained on the ROOTS corpus, a dataset comprising hundreds of sources in 46 natural and 13 programming languages (59 in total). We find that BLOOM achieves competitive performance on a wide variety of benchmarks, with stronger results after undergoing multitask prompted finetuning. To facilitate future research and applications using LLMs, we publicly release our models and code under the Responsible AI License.

人类机器人相互作用（HRI）对于在日常生活中广泛使用机器人至关重要。机器人最终将能够通过有效的社会互动来履行人类文明的各种职责。创建直接且易于理解的界面，以与机器人开始在个人工作区中扩散时与机器人互动至关重要。通常，与模拟机器人的交互显示在屏幕上。虚拟现实（VR）是一个更具吸引力的替代方法，它为视觉提示提供了更像现实世界中看到的线索。在这项研究中，我们介绍了Jubileo，这是一种机器人的动画面孔，并使用人类机器人社会互动领域的各种研究和应用开发工具。Jubileo Project不仅提供功能齐全的开源物理机器人。它还提供了一个全面的框架，可以通过VR接口进行操作，从而为HRI应用程序测试带来沉浸式环境，并明显更好地部署速度。

先前的工作表明，深-RL可以应用于无地图导航，包括混合无人驾驶空中水下车辆（Huauvs）的中等过渡。本文介绍了基于最先进的演员批评算法的新方法，以解决Huauv的导航和中型过渡问题。我们表明，具有复发性神经网络的双重评论家Deep-RL可以使用仅范围数据和相对定位来改善Huauvs的导航性能。我们的深-RL方法通过通过不同的模拟场景对学习的扎实概括，实现了更好的导航和过渡能力，表现优于先前的方法。

深钢筋学习中的确定性和随机技术已成为改善运动控制和各种机器人的决策任务的有前途的解决方案。先前的工作表明，这些深-RL算法通常可以应用于一般的移动机器人的无MAP导航。但是，他们倾向于使用简单的传感策略，因为已经证明它们在高维状态空间（例如基于图像的传感的空间）方面的性能不佳。本文在执行移动机器人无地图导航的任务时，对两种深-RL技术 - 深确定性政策梯度（DDPG）和软参与者（SAC）进行了比较分析。我们的目标是通过展示神经网络体系结构如何影响学习本身的贡献，并根据每种方法的航空移动机器人导航的时间和距离提出定量结果。总体而言，我们对六个不同体系结构的分析强调了随机方法（SAC）更好地使用更深的体系结构，而恰恰相反发生在确定性方法（DDPG）中。

最近一年带来了电动汽车（EV）和相关基础设施/通信的大幅进步。入侵检测系统（ID）被广泛部署在此类关键基础架构中的异常检测。本文提出了一个可解释的异常检测系统（RX-ADS），用于在电动汽车中的CAN协议中进行入侵检测。贡献包括：1）基于窗口的特征提取方法； 2）基于深度自动编码器的异常检测方法； 3）基于对抗机器学习的解释生成方法。在两个基准CAN数据集上测试了提出的方法：OTID和汽车黑客。将RX-ADS的异常检测性能与这些数据集的最新方法进行了比较：HID和GID。 RX-ADS方法提出的性能与HIDS方法（OTIDS数据集）相当，并且具有超出HID和GID方法（CAR HACKING DATASET）的表现。此外，所提出的方法能够为因各种侵入而引起的异常行为产生解释。这些解释后来通过域专家使用的信息来检测异常来验证。 RX-ADS的其他优点包括：1）该方法可以在未标记的数据上进行培训； 2）解释有助于专家理解异常和根课程分析，并有助于AI模型调试和诊断，最终改善了对AI系统的用户信任。

为了处理变异长度的长视频，先前的作品提取了多模式功能并将其融合以预测学生的参与强度。在本文中，我们在视频变压器（CAVT）中提出了一个新的端到端方法类的关注，该方法涉及一个向量来处理类嵌入并均匀地对变异长的视频和固定的端到端学习 - 长度短视频。此外，为了解决缺乏足够的样本，我们提出了一种二进制代表采样方法（BOR）来添加每个视频的多个视频序列以增强训练集。BORS+CAVT不仅可以在EMOTIW-EP数据集上实现最先进的MSE（0.0495），而且还可以在Daisee数据集上获得最新的MSE（0.0377）。代码和模型将在https://github.com/mountainai/cavt上公开提供。

机器学习中的知识蒸馏是将知识从名为教师的大型模型转移到一个名为“学生”的较小模型的过程。知识蒸馏是将大型网络（教师）压缩到较小网络（学生）的技术之一，该网络可以部署在手机等小型设备中。当教师和学生之间的网络规模差距增加时，学生网络的表现就会下降。为了解决这个问题，在教师模型和名为助教模型的学生模型之间采用了中间模型，这反过来弥补了教师与学生之间的差距。在这项研究中，我们已经表明，使用多个助教模型，可以进一步改进学生模型（较小的模型）。我们使用加权集合学习将这些多个助教模型组合在一起，我们使用了差异评估优化算法来生成权重值。
