There is abundant interest in assessing the joint effects of multiple exposures on human health. This is often referred to as the mixtures problem in environmental epidemiology and toxicology. Classically, studies have examined the adverse health effects of different chemicals one at a time, but there is concern that certain chemicals may act together to amplify each other's effects. Such amplification is referred to as synergistic interaction, while chemicals that inhibit each other's effects have antagonistic interactions. Current approaches for assessing the health effects of chemical mixtures do not explicitly consider synergy or antagonism in the modeling, instead focusing on either parametric or unconstrained nonparametric dose response surface modeling. The parametric case can be too inflexible, while nonparametric methods face a curse of dimensionality that leads to overly wiggly and uninterpretable surface estimates. We propose a Bayesian approach that decomposes the response surface into additive main effects and pairwise interaction effects, and then detects synergistic and antagonistic interactions. Variable selection decisions for each interaction component are also provided. This Synergistic Antagonistic Interaction Detection (SAID) framework is evaluated relative to existing approaches using simulation experiments and an application to data from NHANES.

An important aspect in developing language models that interact with humans is aligning their behavior to be useful and unharmful for their human users. This is usually achieved by tuning the model in a way that enhances desired behaviors and inhibits undesired ones, a process referred to as alignment. In this paper, we propose a theoretical approach called Behavior Expectation Bounds (BEB) which allows us to formally investigate several inherent characteristics and limitations of alignment in large language models. Importantly, we prove that within the limits of this framework, for any behavior that has a finite probability of being exhibited by the model, there exist prompts that can trigger the model into outputting this behavior, with probability that increases with the length of the prompt. This implies that any alignment process that attenuates an undesired behavior but does not remove it altogether, is not safe against adversarial prompting attacks. Furthermore, our framework hints at the mechanism by which leading alignment approaches such as reinforcement learning from human feedback make the LLM prone to being prompted into the undesired behaviors. This theoretical result is being experimentally demonstrated in large scale by the so called contemporary "chatGPT jailbreaks", where adversarial users trick the LLM into breaking its alignment guardrails by triggering it into acting as a malicious persona. Our results expose fundamental limitations in alignment of LLMs and bring to the forefront the need to devise reliable mechanisms for ensuring AI safety.

A better understanding of interactive pedestrian behavior in critical traffic situations is essential for the development of enhanced pedestrian safety systems. Real-world traffic observations play a decisive role in this, since they represent behavior in an unbiased way. In this work, we present an approach of how a subset of very considerable pedestrian-vehicle interactions can be derived from a camera-based observation system. For this purpose, we have examined road user trajectories automatically for establishing temporal and spatial relationships, using 110h hours of video recordings. In order to identify critical interactions, our approach combines the metric post-encroachment time with a newly introduced motion adaption metric. From more than 11,000 reconstructed pedestrian trajectories, 259 potential scenarios remained, using a post-encroachment time threshold of 2s. However, in 95% of cases, no adaptation of the pedestrian behavior was observed due to avoiding criticality. Applying the proposed motion adaption metric, only 21 critical scenarios remained. Manual investigations revealed that critical pedestrian vehicle interactions were present in 7 of those. They were further analyzed and made publicly available for developing pedestrian behavior models3. The results indicate that critical interactions in which the pedestrian perceives and reacts to the vehicle at a relatively late stage can be extracted using the proposed method.

Federated Learning (FL) is a promising machine learning approach for Internet of Things (IoT), but it has to address network congestion problems when the population of IoT devices grows. Hierarchical FL (HFL) alleviates this issue by distributing model aggregation to multiple edge servers. Nevertheless, the challenge of communication overhead remains, especially in scenarios where all IoT devices simultaneously join the training process. For scalability, practical HFL schemes select a subset of IoT devices to participate in the training, hence the notion of device scheduling. In this setting, only selected IoT devices are scheduled to participate in the global training, with each of them being assigned to one edge server. Existing HFL assignment methods are primarily based on search mechanisms, which suffer from high latency in finding the optimal assignment. This paper proposes an improved K-Center algorithm for device scheduling and introduces a deep reinforcement learning-based approach for assigning IoT devices to edge servers. Experiments show that scheduling 50% of IoT devices is generally adequate for achieving convergence in HFL with much lower time delay and energy consumption. In cases where reduction in energy consumption (such as in Green AI) and reduction of messages (to avoid burst traffic) are key objectives, scheduling 30% IoT devices allows a substantial reduction in energy and messages with similar model accuracy.

Memory disorders are a central factor in the decline of functioning and daily activities in elderly individuals. The confirmation of the illness, initiation of medication to slow its progression, and the commencement of occupational therapy aimed at maintaining and rehabilitating cognitive abilities require a medical diagnosis. The early identification of symptoms of memory disorders, especially the decline in cognitive abilities, plays a significant role in ensuring the well-being of populations. Features related to speech production are known to connect with the speaker's cognitive ability and changes. The lack of standardized speech tests in clinical settings has led to a growing emphasis on developing automatic machine learning techniques for analyzing naturally spoken language. Non-lexical but acoustic properties of spoken language have proven useful when fast, cost-effective, and scalable solutions are needed for the rapid diagnosis of a disease. The work presents an approach related to feature selection, allowing for the automatic selection of the essential features required for diagnosis from the Geneva minimalistic acoustic parameter set and relative speech pauses, intended for automatic paralinguistic and clinical speech analysis. These features are refined into word histogram features, in which machine learning classifiers are trained to classify control subjects and dementia patients from the Dementia Bank's Pitt audio database. The results show that achieving a 75% average classification accuracy with only twenty-five features with the separate ADReSS 2020 competition test data and the Leave-One-Subject-Out cross-validation of the entire competition data is possible. The results rank at the top compared to international research, where the same dataset and only acoustic features have been used to diagnose patients.

The alignment of language models with human preferences is vital for their application in real-world tasks. The problem is formulated as optimizing the model's policy to maximize the expected reward that reflects human preferences with minimal deviation from the initial policy. While considered as a straightforward solution, reinforcement learning (RL) suffers from high variance in policy updates, which impedes efficient policy improvement. Recently, direct preference optimization (DPO) was proposed to directly optimize the policy from preference data. Though simple to implement, DPO is derived based on the optimal policy that is not assured to be achieved in practice, which undermines its convergence to the intended solution. In this paper, we propose efficient exact optimization (EXO) of the alignment objective. We prove that EXO is guaranteed to optimize in the same direction as the RL algorithms asymptotically for arbitary parametrization of the policy, while enables efficient optimization by circumventing the complexities associated with RL algorithms. We compare our method to DPO with both theoretical and empirical analyses, and further demonstrate the advantages of our method over existing approaches on realistic human preference data.

Recent developments enable the quantification of causal control given a structural causal model (SCM). This has been accomplished by introducing quantities which encode changes in the entropy of one variable when intervening on another. These measures, named causal entropy and causal information gain, aim to address limitations in existing information theoretical approaches for machine learning tasks where causality plays a crucial role. They have not yet been properly mathematically studied. Our research contributes to the formal understanding of the notions of causal entropy and causal information gain by establishing and analyzing fundamental properties of these concepts, including bounds and chain rules. Furthermore, we elucidate the relationship between causal entropy and stochastic interventions. We also propose definitions for causal conditional entropy and causal conditional information gain. Overall, this exploration paves the way for enhancing causal machine learning tasks through the study of recently-proposed information theoretic quantities grounded in considerations about causality.

Federated learning is widely considered to be as a privacy-aware learning method because no training data is exchanged directly between clients. Nevertheless, there are threats to privacy in federated learning, and privacy countermeasures have been studied. However, we note that common and unique privacy threats among typical types of federated learning have not been categorized and described in a comprehensive and specific way. In this paper, we describe privacy threats and countermeasures for the typical types of federated learning; horizontal federated learning, vertical federated learning, and transfer federated learning.

In pace with developments in the research field of artificial intelligence, knowledge graphs (KGs) have attracted a surge of interest from both academia and industry. As a representation of semantic relations between entities, KGs have proven to be particularly relevant for natural language processing (NLP), experiencing a rapid spread and wide adoption within recent years. Given the increasing amount of research work in this area, several KG-related approaches have been surveyed in the NLP research community. However, a comprehensive study that categorizes established topics and reviews the maturity of individual research streams remains absent to this day. Contributing to closing this gap, we systematically analyzed 507 papers from the literature on KGs in NLP. Our survey encompasses a multifaceted review of tasks, research types, and contributions. As a result, we present a structured overview of the research landscape, provide a taxonomy of tasks, summarize our findings, and highlight directions for future work.

Understanding causality helps to structure interventions to achieve specific goals and enables predictions under interventions. With the growing importance of learning causal relationships, causal discovery tasks have transitioned from using traditional methods to infer potential causal structures from observational data to the field of pattern recognition involved in deep learning. The rapid accumulation of massive data promotes the emergence of causal search methods with brilliant scalability. Existing summaries of causal discovery methods mainly focus on traditional methods based on constraints, scores and FCMs, there is a lack of perfect sorting and elaboration for deep learning-based methods, also lacking some considers and exploration of causal discovery methods from the perspective of variable paradigms. Therefore, we divide the possible causal discovery tasks into three types according to the variable paradigm and give the definitions of the three tasks respectively, define and instantiate the relevant datasets for each task and the final causal model constructed at the same time, then reviews the main existing causal discovery methods for different tasks. Finally, we propose some roadmaps from different perspectives for the current research gaps in the field of causal discovery and point out future research directions.

Deep neural networks have revolutionized many machine learning tasks in power systems, ranging from pattern recognition to signal processing. The data in these tasks is typically represented in Euclidean domains. Nevertheless, there is an increasing number of applications in power systems, where data are collected from non-Euclidean domains and represented as the graph-structured data with high dimensional features and interdependency among nodes. The complexity of graph-structured data has brought significant challenges to the existing deep neural networks defined in Euclidean domains. Recently, many studies on extending deep neural networks for graph-structured data in power systems have emerged. In this paper, a comprehensive overview of graph neural networks (GNNs) in power systems is proposed. Specifically, several classical paradigms of GNNs structures (e.g., graph convolutional networks, graph recurrent neural networks, graph attention networks, graph generative networks, spatial-temporal graph convolutional networks, and hybrid forms of GNNs) are summarized, and key applications in power systems such as fault diagnosis, power prediction, power flow calculation, and data generation are reviewed in detail. Furthermore, main issues and some research trends about the applications of GNNs in power systems are discussed.
