Since the advent of Deep Learning (DL), Speech Enhancement (SE) models have performed well under a variety of noise conditions. However, such systems may still introduce sonic artefacts, sound unnatural, and restrict the ability for a user to hear ambient sound which may be of importance. Hearing Aid (HA) users may wish to customise their SE systems to suit their personal preferences and day-to-day lifestyle. In this paper, we introduce a preference learning based SE (PLSE) model for future multi-modal HAs that can contextually exploit audio information to improve listening comfort, based upon the preferences of the user. The proposed system estimates the Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) as a basic objective speech quality measure which quantifies the relative amount of background noise present in speech, and directly correlates to the intelligibility of the signal. Additionally, to provide contextual information we predict the acoustic scene in which the user is situated. These tasks are achieved via a multi-task DL model, which surpasses the performance of inferring the acoustic scene or SNR separately, by jointly leveraging a shared encoded feature space. These environmental inferences are exploited in a preference elicitation framework, which linearly learns a set of predictive functions to determine the target SNR of an AV (Audio-Visual) SE system. By greatly reducing noise in challenging listening conditions, and by novelly scaling the output of the SE model, we are able to provide HA users with contextually individualised SE. Preliminary results suggest an improvement over the non-individualised baseline model in some participants.

Cooperative multi-robot teams need to be able to explore cluttered and unstructured environments while dealing with communication dropouts that prevent them from exchanging local information to maintain team coordination. Therefore, robots need to consider high-level teammate intentions during action selection. In this letter, we present the first Macro Action Decentralized Exploration Network (MADE-Net) using multi-agent deep reinforcement learning (DRL) to address the challenges of communication dropouts during multi-robot exploration in unseen, unstructured, and cluttered environments. Simulated robot team exploration experiments were conducted and compared against classical and DRL methods where MADE-Net outperformed all benchmark methods in terms of computation time, total travel distance, number of local interactions between robots, and exploration rate across various degrees of communication dropouts. A scalability study in 3D environments showed a decrease in exploration time with MADE-Net with increasing team and environment sizes. The experiments presented highlight the effectiveness and robustness of our method.

Today's AI systems for medical decision support often succeed on benchmark datasets in research papers but fail in real-world deployment. This work focuses on the decision making of sepsis, an acute life-threatening systematic infection that requires an early diagnosis with high uncertainty from the clinician. Our aim is to explore the design requirements for AI systems that can support clinical experts in making better decisions for the early diagnosis of sepsis. The study begins with a formative study investigating why clinical experts abandon an existing AI-powered Sepsis predictive module in their electrical health record (EHR) system. We argue that a human-centered AI system needs to support human experts in the intermediate stages of a medical decision-making process (e.g., generating hypotheses or gathering data), instead of focusing only on the final decision. Therefore, we build SepsisLab based on a state-of-the-art AI algorithm and extend it to predict the future projection of sepsis development, visualize the prediction uncertainty, and propose actionable suggestions (i.e., which additional laboratory tests can be collected) to reduce such uncertainty. Through heuristic evaluation with six clinicians using our prototype system, we demonstrate that SepsisLab enables a promising human-AI collaboration paradigm for the future of AI-assisted sepsis diagnosis and other high-stakes medical decision making.

An insurance company is required to prepare a certain amount of money, called reserve, as a mean to pay its policy holders claims in the future. There are several types of reserve, one of them is IBNR reserve, for which the payments are made not in the same calendar year as the events that trigger the claims. Wuthrich and Merz (2015) developed a Bayesian Chain Ladder method for gamma distribution that applies the Bayesian Theory into the usual Chain Ladder Method . In this article, we modify the previous Bayesian Chain Ladder for half-normal distribution, as such distribution is more well suited for lighter tail claims.

In disaster scenarios and high-stakes rescue operations, integrating Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) as fog nodes has become crucial. This integration ensures a smooth connection between affected populations and essential health monitoring devices, supported by the Internet of Things (IoT). Integrating UAVs in such environments is inherently challenging, where the primary objectives involve maximizing network connectivity and coverage while extending the network's lifetime through energy-efficient strategies to serve the maximum number of affected individuals. In this paper, We propose a novel model centred around dynamic UAV-based fog deployment that optimizes the system's adaptability and operational efficacy within the afflicted areas. First, we decomposed the problem into two subproblems. Connectivity and coverage subproblem, and network lifespan optimization subproblem. We shape our UAV fog deployment problem as a uni-objective optimization and introduce a specialized UAV fog deployment algorithm tailored specifically for UAV fog nodes deployed in rescue missions. While the network lifespan optimization subproblem is efficiently solved via a one-dimensional swapping method. Following that, We introduce a novel optimization strategy for UAV fog node placement in dynamic networks during evacuation scenarios, with a primary focus on ensuring robust connectivity and maximal coverage for mobile users, while extending the network's lifespan. Finally, we introduce Adaptive Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) for fog node deployment in a dynamic network. Its agility, rapid convergence, and low computational demands make it an ideal fit for high-pressure environments.

Predicting next visit diagnosis using Electronic Health Records (EHR) is an essential task in healthcare, critical for devising proactive future plans for both healthcare providers and patients. Nonetheless, many preceding studies have not sufficiently addressed the heterogeneous and hierarchical characteristics inherent in EHR data, inevitably leading to sub-optimal performance. To this end, we propose NECHO, a novel medical code-centric multimodal contrastive EHR learning framework with hierarchical regularisation. First, we integrate multifaceted information encompassing medical codes, demographics, and clinical notes using a tailored network design and a pair of bimodal contrastive losses, all of which pivot around a medical codes representation. We also regularise modality-specific encoders using a parental level information in medical ontology to learn hierarchical structure of EHR data. A series of experiments on MIMIC-III data demonstrates effectiveness of our approach.

Patients often face difficulties in understanding their hospitalizations, while healthcare workers have limited resources to provide explanations. In this work, we investigate the potential of large language models to generate patient summaries based on doctors' notes and study the effect of training data on the faithfulness and quality of the generated summaries. To this end, we develop a rigorous labeling protocol for hallucinations, and have two medical experts annotate 100 real-world summaries and 100 generated summaries. We show that fine-tuning on hallucination-free data effectively reduces hallucinations from 2.60 to 1.55 per summary for Llama 2, while preserving relevant information. Although the effect is still present, it is much smaller for GPT-4 when prompted with five examples (0.70 to 0.40). We also conduct a qualitative evaluation using hallucination-free and improved training data. GPT-4 shows very good results even in the zero-shot setting. We find that common quantitative metrics do not correlate well with faithfulness and quality. Finally, we test GPT-4 for automatic hallucination detection, which yields promising results.

It has been shown that deep neural networks are prone to overfitting on biased training data. Towards addressing this issue, meta-learning employs a meta model for correcting the training bias. Despite the promising performances, super slow training is currently the bottleneck in the meta learning approaches. In this paper, we introduce a novel Faster Meta Update Strategy (FaMUS) to replace the most expensive step in the meta gradient computation with a faster layer-wise approximation. We empirically find that FaMUS yields not only a reasonably accurate but also a low-variance approximation of the meta gradient. We conduct extensive experiments to verify the proposed method on two tasks. We show our method is able to save two-thirds of the training time while still maintaining the comparable or achieving even better generalization performance. In particular, our method achieves the state-of-the-art performance on both synthetic and realistic noisy labels, and obtains promising performance on long-tailed recognition on standard benchmarks.

Few-shot Knowledge Graph (KG) completion is a focus of current research, where each task aims at querying unseen facts of a relation given its few-shot reference entity pairs. Recent attempts solve this problem by learning static representations of entities and references, ignoring their dynamic properties, i.e., entities may exhibit diverse roles within task relations, and references may make different contributions to queries. This work proposes an adaptive attentional network for few-shot KG completion by learning adaptive entity and reference representations. Specifically, entities are modeled by an adaptive neighbor encoder to discern their task-oriented roles, while references are modeled by an adaptive query-aware aggregator to differentiate their contributions. Through the attention mechanism, both entities and references can capture their fine-grained semantic meanings, and thus render more expressive representations. This will be more predictive for knowledge acquisition in the few-shot scenario. Evaluation in link prediction on two public datasets shows that our approach achieves new state-of-the-art results with different few-shot sizes.
