Penalized transformation models (PTMs) are a novel form of location-scale regression. In PTMs, the shape of the response's conditional distribution is estimated directly from the data, and structured additive predictors are placed on its location and scale. The core of the model is a monotonically increasing transformation function that relates the response distribution to a reference distribution. The transformation function is equipped with a smoothness prior that regularizes how much the estimated distribution diverges from the reference distribution. These models can be seen as a bridge between conditional transformation models and generalized additive models for location, scale and shape. Markov chain Monte Carlo inference for PTMs can be conducted with the No-U-Turn sampler and offers straightforward uncertainty quantification for the conditional distribution as well as for the covariate effects. A simulation study demonstrates the effectiveness of the approach. We apply the model to data from the Fourth Dutch Growth Study and the Framingham Heart Study. A full-featured implementation is available as a Python library.

The fairness of Natural Language Processing (NLP) models has emerged as a crucial concern. Information theory indicates that to achieve fairness, a model should not be able to predict sensitive variables, such as gender, ethnicity, and age. However, information related to these variables often appears implicitly in language, posing a challenge in identifying and mitigating biases effectively. To tackle this issue, we present a novel approach that operates at the embedding level of an NLP model, independent of the specific architecture. Our method leverages insights from recent advances in XAI techniques and employs an embedding transformation to eliminate implicit information from a selected variable. By directly manipulating the embeddings in the final layer, our approach enables a seamless integration into existing models without requiring significant modifications or retraining. In evaluation, we show that the proposed post-hoc approach significantly reduces gender-related associations in NLP models while preserving the overall performance and functionality of the models. An implementation of our method is available: //github.com/fanny-jourdan/TaCo

Semantic segmentation is an effective way to perform scene understanding. Recently, segmentation in 3D Bird's Eye View (BEV) space has become popular as its directly used by drive policy. However, there is limited work on BEV segmentation for surround-view fisheye cameras, commonly used in commercial vehicles. As this task has no real-world public dataset and existing synthetic datasets do not handle amodal regions due to occlusion, we create a synthetic dataset using the Cognata simulator comprising diverse road types, weather, and lighting conditions. We generalize the BEV segmentation to work with any camera model; this is useful for mixing diverse cameras. We implement a baseline by applying cylindrical rectification on the fisheye images and using a standard LSS-based BEV segmentation model. We demonstrate that we can achieve better performance without undistortion, which has the adverse effects of increased runtime due to pre-processing, reduced field-of-view, and resampling artifacts. Further, we introduce a distortion-aware learnable BEV pooling strategy that is more effective for the fisheye cameras. We extend the model with an occlusion reasoning module, which is critical for estimating in BEV space. Qualitative performance of DaF-BEVSeg is showcased in the video at //streamable.com/ge4v51.

Due to its advantages in resource constraint scenarios, Split Federated Learning (SFL) is promising in AIoT systems. However, due to data heterogeneity and stragglers, SFL suffers from the challenges of low inference accuracy and low efficiency. To address these issues, this paper presents a novel SFL approach, named Sliding Split Federated Learning (S$^2$FL), which adopts an adaptive sliding model split strategy and a data balance-based training mechanism. By dynamically dispatching different model portions to AIoT devices according to their computing capability, S$^2$FL can alleviate the low training efficiency caused by stragglers. By combining features uploaded by devices with different data distributions to generate multiple larger batches with a uniform distribution for back-propagation, S$^2$FL can alleviate the performance degradation caused by data heterogeneity. Experimental results demonstrate that, compared to conventional SFL, S$^2$FL can achieve up to 16.5\% inference accuracy improvement and 3.54X training acceleration.

3D Gaussian Splatting (GS) have achieved considerable improvement over Neural Radiance Fields in terms of 3D fitting fidelity and rendering speed. However, this unstructured representation with scattered Gaussians poses a significant challenge for generative modeling. To address the problem, we introduce GaussianCube, a structured GS representation that is both powerful and efficient for generative modeling. We achieve this by first proposing a modified densification-constrained GS fitting algorithm which can yield high-quality fitting results using a fixed number of free Gaussians, and then re-arranging the Gaussians into a predefined voxel grid via Optimal Transport. The structured grid representation allows us to use standard 3D U-Net as our backbone in diffusion generative modeling without elaborate designs. Extensive experiments conducted on ShapeNet and OmniObject3D show that our model achieves state-of-the-art generation results both qualitatively and quantitatively, underscoring the potential of GaussianCube as a powerful and versatile 3D representation.

Using Large Language Models (LLMs) for Process Mining (PM) tasks is becoming increasingly essential, and initial approaches yield promising results. However, little attention has been given to developing strategies for evaluating and benchmarking the utility of incorporating LLMs into PM tasks. This paper reviews the current implementations of LLMs in PM and reflects on three different questions. 1) What is the minimal set of capabilities required for PM on LLMs? 2) Which benchmark strategies help choose optimal LLMs for PM? 3) How do we evaluate the output of LLMs on specific PM tasks? The answer to these questions is fundamental to the development of comprehensive process mining benchmarks on LLMs covering different tasks and implementation paradigms.

Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable success, where instruction tuning is the critical step in aligning LLMs with user intentions. In this work, we investigate how the instruction tuning adjusts pre-trained models with a focus on intrinsic changes. Specifically, we first develop several local and global explanation methods, including a gradient-based method for input-output attribution, and techniques for interpreting patterns and concepts in self-attention and feed-forward layers. The impact of instruction tuning is then studied by comparing the explanations derived from the pre-trained and instruction-tuned models. This approach provides an internal perspective of the model shifts on a human-comprehensible level. Our findings reveal three significant impacts of instruction tuning: 1) It empowers LLMs to recognize the instruction parts of user prompts, and promotes the response generation constantly conditioned on the instructions. 2) It encourages the self-attention heads to capture more word-word relationships about instruction verbs. 3) It encourages the feed-forward networks to rotate their pre-trained knowledge toward user-oriented tasks. These insights contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of instruction tuning and lay the groundwork for future work that aims at explaining and optimizing LLMs for various applications. Our code and data are publicly available at //github.com/JacksonWuxs/Interpret_Instruction_Tuning_LLMs.

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), despite achieving remarkable performance across different tasks, are theoretically bounded by the 1-Weisfeiler-Lehman test, resulting in limitations in terms of graph expressivity. Even though prior works on topological higher-order GNNs overcome that boundary, these models often depend on assumptions about sub-structures of graphs. Specifically, topological GNNs leverage the prevalence of cliques, cycles, and rings to enhance the message-passing procedure. Our study presents a novel perspective by focusing on simple paths within graphs during the topological message-passing process, thus liberating the model from restrictive inductive biases. We prove that by lifting graphs to path complexes, our model can generalize the existing works on topology while inheriting several theoretical results on simplicial complexes and regular cell complexes. Without making prior assumptions about graph sub-structures, our method outperforms earlier works in other topological domains and achieves state-of-the-art results on various benchmarks.

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have been studied from the lens of expressive power and generalization. However, their optimization properties are less well understood. We take the first step towards analyzing GNN training by studying the gradient dynamics of GNNs. First, we analyze linearized GNNs and prove that despite the non-convexity of training, convergence to a global minimum at a linear rate is guaranteed under mild assumptions that we validate on real-world graphs. Second, we study what may affect the GNNs' training speed. Our results show that the training of GNNs is implicitly accelerated by skip connections, more depth, and/or a good label distribution. Empirical results confirm that our theoretical results for linearized GNNs align with the training behavior of nonlinear GNNs. Our results provide the first theoretical support for the success of GNNs with skip connections in terms of optimization, and suggest that deep GNNs with skip connections would be promising in practice.

Many tasks in natural language processing can be viewed as multi-label classification problems. However, most of the existing models are trained with the standard cross-entropy loss function and use a fixed prediction policy (e.g., a threshold of 0.5) for all the labels, which completely ignores the complexity and dependencies among different labels. In this paper, we propose a meta-learning method to capture these complex label dependencies. More specifically, our method utilizes a meta-learner to jointly learn the training policies and prediction policies for different labels. The training policies are then used to train the classifier with the cross-entropy loss function, and the prediction policies are further implemented for prediction. Experimental results on fine-grained entity typing and text classification demonstrate that our proposed method can obtain more accurate multi-label classification results.
