A two-stage hierarchical Bayesian model is proposed to estimate forest biomass density and total given sparsely sampled LiDAR and georeferenced forest inventory plot measurements. The model is motivated by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) objective to provide biomass estimates for the remote Tanana Inventory Unit (TIU) in interior Alaska. The proposed model yields stratum-level biomass estimates for arbitrarily sized areas. Model-based estimates are compared with the TIU FIA design-based post-stratified estimates. Model-based small area estimates (SAEs) for two experimental forests within the TIU are compared with each forest's design-based estimates generated using a dense network of independent inventory plots. Model parameter estimates and biomass predictions are informed using FIA plot measurements, LiDAR data that is spatially aligned with a subset of the FIA plots, and complete coverage remotely sensed data used to define landuse/landcover stratum and percent forest canopy cover. Results support a model-based approach to estimating forest variables when inventory data are sparse or resources limit collection of enough data to achieve desired accuracy and precision using design-based methods.

Recent instruction fine-tuned models can solve multiple NLP tasks when prompted to do so, with machine translation (MT) being a prominent use case. However, current research often focuses on standard performance benchmarks, leaving compelling fairness and ethical considerations behind. In MT, this might lead to misgendered translations, resulting, among other harms, in the perpetuation of stereotypes and prejudices. In this work, we address this gap by investigating whether and to what extent such models exhibit gender bias in machine translation and how we can mitigate it. Concretely, we compute established gender bias metrics on the WinoMT corpus from English to German and Spanish. We discover that IFT models default to male-inflected translations, even disregarding female occupational stereotypes. Next, using interpretability methods, we unveil that models systematically overlook the pronoun indicating the gender of a target occupation in misgendered translations. Finally, based on this finding, we propose an easy-to-implement and effective bias mitigation solution based on few-shot learning that leads to significantly fairer translations.

We provide a new characterization of both belief update and belief revision in terms of a Kripke-Lewis semantics. We consider frames consisting of a set of states, a Kripke belief relation and a Lewis selection function. Adding a valuation to a frame yields a model. Given a model and a state, we identify the initial belief set K with the set of formulas that are believed at that state and we identify either the updated belief set or the revised belief set, prompted by the input represented by formula A, as the set of formulas that are the consequent of conditionals that (1) are believed at that state and (2) have A as antecedent. We show that this class of models characterizes both the Katsuno-Mendelzon (KM) belief update functions and the AGM belief revision functions, in the following sense: (1) each model gives rise to a partial belief function that can be completed into a full KM/AGM update/revision function, and (2) for every KM/AGM update/revision function there is a model whose associated belief function coincides with it. The difference between update and revision can be reduced to two semantic properties that appear in a stronger form in revision relative to update, thus confirming the finding by Peppas et al. (1996) that, "for a fixed theory K, revising K is much the same as updating K"

Knowledge representation (KR) is vital in designing symbolic notations to represent real-world facts and facilitate automated decision-making tasks. Knowledge graphs (KGs) have emerged so far as a popular form of KR, offering a contextual and human-like representation of knowledge. In international economics, KGs have proven valuable in capturing complex interactions between commodities, companies, and countries. By putting the gravity model, which is a common economic framework, into the process of building KGs, important factors that affect trade relationships can be taken into account, making it possible to predict international trade patterns. This paper proposes an approach that leverages Knowledge Graph embeddings for modeling international trade, focusing on link prediction using embeddings. Thus, valuable insights are offered to policymakers, businesses, and economists, enabling them to anticipate the effects of changes in the international trade system. Moreover, the integration of traditional machine learning methods with KG embeddings, such as decision trees and graph neural networks are also explored. The research findings demonstrate the potential for improving prediction accuracy and provide insights into embedding explainability in knowledge representation. The paper also presents a comprehensive analysis of the influence of embedding methods on other intelligent algorithms.

Indoor scene generation aims at creating shape-compatible, style-consistent furniture arrangements within a spatially reasonable layout. However, most existing approaches primarily focus on generating plausible furniture layouts without incorporating specific details related to individual furniture pieces. To address this limitation, we propose a two-stage model integrating shape priors into the indoor scene generation by encoding furniture as anchor latent representations. In the first stage, we employ discrete vector quantization to encode furniture pieces as anchor-latents. Based on the anchor-latents representation, the shape and location information of the furniture was characterized by a concatenation of location, size, orientation, class, and our anchor latent. In the second stage, we leverage a transformer model to predict indoor scenes autoregressively. Thanks to incorporating the proposed anchor-latents representations, our generative model produces shape-compatible and style-consistent furniture arrangements and synthesis furniture in diverse shapes. Furthermore, our method facilitates various human interaction applications, such as style-consistent scene completion, object mismatch correction, and controllable object-level editing. Experimental results on the 3D-Front dataset demonstrate that our approach can generate more consistent and compatible indoor scenes compared to existing methods, even without shape retrieval. Additionally, extensive ablation studies confirm the effectiveness of our design choices in the indoor scene generation model.

Generative AI has seen remarkable growth over the past few years, with diffusion models being state-of-the-art for image generation. This study investigates the use of diffusion models in generating artificial data generation for electronic circuits for enhancing the accuracy of subsequent machine learning models in tasks such as performance assessment, design, and testing when training data is usually known to be very limited. We utilize simulations in the HSPICE design environment with 22nm CMOS technology nodes to obtain representative real training data for our proposed diffusion model. Our results demonstrate the close resemblance of synthetic data using diffusion model to real data. We validate the quality of generated data, and demonstrate that data augmentation certainly effective in predictive analysis of VLSI design for digital circuits.

Many ethical frameworks require artificial intelligence (AI) systems to be explainable. Explainable AI (XAI) models are frequently tested for their adequacy in user studies. Since different people may have different explanatory needs, it is important that participant samples in user studies are large enough to represent the target population to enable generalizations. However, it is unclear to what extent XAI researchers reflect on and justify their sample sizes or avoid broad generalizations across people. We analyzed XAI user studies (n = 220) published between 2012 and 2022. Most studies did not offer rationales for their sample sizes. Moreover, most papers generalized their conclusions beyond their target population, and there was no evidence that broader conclusions in quantitative studies were correlated with larger samples. These methodological problems can impede evaluations of whether XAI systems implement the explainability called for in ethical frameworks. We outline principles for more inclusive XAI user studies.

Discrepancies in decision-making between Autonomous Driving Systems (ADS) and human drivers underscore the need for intuitive human gaze predictors to bridge this gap, thereby improving user trust and experience. Existing gaze datasets, despite their value, suffer from noise that hampers effective training. Furthermore, current gaze prediction models exhibit inconsistency across diverse scenarios and demand substantial computational resources, restricting their on-board deployment in autonomous vehicles. We propose a novel adaptive cleansing technique for purging noise from existing gaze datasets, coupled with a robust, lightweight convolutional self-attention gaze prediction model. Our approach not only significantly enhances model generalizability and performance by up to 12.13% but also ensures a remarkable reduction in model complexity by up to 98.2% compared to the state-of-the art, making in-vehicle deployment feasible to augment ADS decision visualization and performance.

Question Answering (QA) systems on patient-related data can assist both clinicians and patients. They can, for example, assist clinicians in decision-making and enable patients to have a better understanding of their medical history. Significant amounts of patient data are stored in Electronic Health Records (EHRs), making EHR QA an important research area. In EHR QA, the answer is obtained from the medical record of the patient. Because of the differences in data format and modality, this differs greatly from other medical QA tasks that employ medical websites or scientific papers to retrieve answers, making it critical to research EHR question answering. This study aimed to provide a methodological review of existing works on QA over EHRs. We searched for articles from January 1st, 2005 to September 30th, 2023 in four digital sources including Google Scholar, ACL Anthology, ACM Digital Library, and PubMed to collect relevant publications on EHR QA. 4111 papers were identified for our study, and after screening based on our inclusion criteria, we obtained a total of 47 papers for further study. Out of the 47 papers, 25 papers were about EHR QA datasets, and 37 papers were about EHR QA models. It was observed that QA on EHRs is relatively new and unexplored. Most of the works are fairly recent. Also, it was observed that emrQA is by far the most popular EHR QA dataset, both in terms of citations and usage in other papers. Furthermore, we identified the different models used in EHR QA along with the evaluation metrics used for these models.

Object detection with transformers (DETR) reaches competitive performance with Faster R-CNN via a transformer encoder-decoder architecture. Inspired by the great success of pre-training transformers in natural language processing, we propose a pretext task named random query patch detection to unsupervisedly pre-train DETR (UP-DETR) for object detection. Specifically, we randomly crop patches from the given image and then feed them as queries to the decoder. The model is pre-trained to detect these query patches from the original image. During the pre-training, we address two critical issues: multi-task learning and multi-query localization. (1) To trade-off multi-task learning of classification and localization in the pretext task, we freeze the CNN backbone and propose a patch feature reconstruction branch which is jointly optimized with patch detection. (2) To perform multi-query localization, we introduce UP-DETR from single-query patch and extend it to multi-query patches with object query shuffle and attention mask. In our experiments, UP-DETR significantly boosts the performance of DETR with faster convergence and higher precision on PASCAL VOC and COCO datasets. The code will be available soon.

Recently pre-trained language representation models such as BERT have shown great success when fine-tuned on downstream tasks including information retrieval (IR). However, pre-training objectives tailored for ad-hoc retrieval have not been well explored. In this paper, we propose Pre-training with Representative wOrds Prediction (PROP) for ad-hoc retrieval. PROP is inspired by the classical statistical language model for IR, specifically the query likelihood model, which assumes that the query is generated as the piece of text representative of the "ideal" document. Based on this idea, we construct the representative words prediction (ROP) task for pre-training. Given an input document, we sample a pair of word sets according to the document language model, where the set with higher likelihood is deemed as more representative of the document. We then pre-train the Transformer model to predict the pairwise preference between the two word sets, jointly with the Masked Language Model (MLM) objective. By further fine-tuning on a variety of representative downstream ad-hoc retrieval tasks, PROP achieves significant improvements over baselines without pre-training or with other pre-training methods. We also show that PROP can achieve exciting performance under both the zero- and low-resource IR settings. The code and pre-trained models are available at //github.com/Albert-Ma/PROP.
