TeleQnA: A Benchmark Dataset to Assess Large Language Models Telecommunications Knowledge
Venue: arXiv cs.IT 2023
Year: 2023

We introduce TeleQnA, the first benchmark dataset designed to evaluate the knowledge of Large Language Models (LLMs) in telecommunications. Comprising 10,000 questions and answers, this dataset draws from diverse sources, including standards and research articles. This paper outlines the automated question generation framework responsible for creating this dataset, along with how human input was integrated at various stages to ensure the quality of the questions. Afterwards, using the provided dataset, an evaluation is conducted to assess the capabilities of LLMs, including GPT-3.5 and GPT-4. The results highlight that these models struggle with complex standards related questions but exhibit proficiency in addressing general telecom-related inquiries. Additionally, our results showcase how incorporating telecom knowledge context significantly enhances their performance, thus shedding light on the need for a specialized telecom foundation model. Finally, the dataset is shared with active telecom professionals, whose performance is subsequently benchmarked against that of the LLMs. The findings illustrate that LLMs can rival the performance of active professionals in telecom knowledge, thanks to their capacity to process vast amounts of information, underscoring the potential of LLMs within this domain. The dataset has been made publicly accessible on GitHub.
DREAM+: Efficient Dataset Distillation by Bidirectional Representative Matching
Venue: arXiv cs.CV 2023
Year: 2023

Dataset distillation plays a crucial role in creating compact datasets with similar training performance compared with original large-scale ones. This is essential for addressing the challenges of data storage and training costs. Prevalent methods facilitate knowledge transfer by matching the gradients, embedding distributions, or training trajectories of synthetic images with those of the sampled original images. Although there are various matching objectives, currently the strategy for selecting original images is limited to naive random sampling. We argue that random sampling overlooks the evenness of the selected sample distribution, which may result in noisy or biased matching targets. Besides, the sample diversity is also not constrained by random sampling. Additionally, current methods predominantly focus on single-dimensional matching, where information is not fully utilized. To address these challenges, we propose a novel matching strategy called Dataset Distillation by Bidirectional REpresentAtive Matching (DREAM+), which selects representative original images for bidirectional matching. DREAM+ is applicable to a variety of mainstream dataset distillation frameworks and significantly reduces the number of distillation iterations by more than 15 times without affecting performance. Given sufficient training time, DREAM+ can further improve the performance and achieve state-of-the-art results. We have released the code at github.com/NUS-HPC-AI-Lab/DREAM+.
One-dimensional convolutional neural network model for breast cancer subtypes classification and biochemical content evaluation using micro-FTIR hyperspectral images
Venue: arXiv cs.LG 2023
Year: 2023

Breast cancer treatment still remains a challenge, where molecular subtypes classification plays a crucial role in selecting appropriate and specific therapy. The four subtypes are Luminal A (LA), Luminal B (LB), HER2 subtype, and Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC). Immunohistochemistry is the gold-standard evaluation, although interobserver variations are reported and molecular signatures identification is time-consuming. Fourier transform infrared micro-spectroscopy with machine learning approaches have been used to evaluate cancer samples, presenting biochemical-related explainability. However, this explainability is harder when using deep learning. This study created a 1D deep learning tool for breast cancer subtype evaluation and biochemical contribution. Sixty hyperspectral images were acquired from a human breast cancer microarray. K-Means clustering was applied to select tissue and paraffin spectra. CaReNet-V1, a novel 1D convolutional neural network, was developed to classify breast cancer (CA) and adjacent tissue (AT), and molecular subtypes. A 1D adaptation of Grad-CAM was applied to assess the biochemical impact to the classifications. CaReNet-V1 effectively classified CA and AT (test accuracy of 0.89), as well as HER2 and TNBC subtypes (0.83 and 0.86), with greater difficulty for LA and LB (0.74 and 0.68). The model enabled the evaluation of the most contributing wavenumbers to the predictions, providing a direct relationship with the biochemical content. Therefore, CaReNet-V1 and hyperspectral images is a potential approach for breast cancer biopsies assessment, providing additional information to the pathology report. Biochemical content impact feature may be used for other studies, such as treatment efficacy evaluation and development new diagnostics and therapeutic methods.
Zero123++: a Single Image to Consistent Multi-view Diffusion Base Model
Venue: arXiv cs.CV 2023
Year: 2023

We report Zero123++, an image-conditioned diffusion model for generating 3D-consistent multi-view images from a single input view. To take full advantage of pretrained 2D generative priors, we develop various conditioning and training schemes to minimize the effort of finetuning from off-the-shelf image diffusion models such as Stable Diffusion. Zero123++ excels in producing high-quality, consistent multi-view images from a single image, overcoming common issues like texture degradation and geometric misalignment. Furthermore, we showcase the feasibility of training a ControlNet on Zero123++ for enhanced control over the generation process. The code is available at https://github.com/SUDO-AI-3D/zero123plus.
Counting the Bugs in ChatGPT's Wugs: A Multilingual Investigation into the Morphological Capabilities of a Large Language Model
Venue: arXiv cs.CL 2023
Year: 2023

Large language models (LLMs) have recently reached an impressive level of linguistic capability, prompting comparisons with human language skills. However, there have been relatively few systematic inquiries into the linguistic capabilities of the latest generation of LLMs, and those studies that do exist (i) ignore the remarkable ability of humans to generalize, (ii) focus only on English, and (iii) investigate syntax or semantics and overlook other capabilities that lie at the heart of human language, like morphology. Here, we close these gaps by conducting the first rigorous analysis of the morphological capabilities of ChatGPT in four typologically varied languages (specifically, English, German, Tamil, and Turkish). We apply a version of Berko's (1958) wug test to ChatGPT, using novel, uncontaminated datasets for the four examined languages. We find that ChatGPT massively underperforms purpose-built systems, particularly in English. Overall, our results -- through the lens of morphology -- cast a new light on the linguistic capabilities of ChatGPT, suggesting that claims of human-like language skills are premature and misleading.
Unlocking the Transferability of Tokens in Deep Models for Tabular Data
Venue: arXiv cs.LG 2023
Year: 2023

Fine-tuning a pre-trained deep neural network has become a successful paradigm in various machine learning tasks. However, such a paradigm becomes particularly challenging with tabular data when there are discrepancies between the feature sets of pre-trained models and the target tasks. In this paper, we propose TabToken, a method aims at enhancing the quality of feature tokens (i.e., embeddings of tabular features). TabToken allows for the utilization of pre-trained models when the upstream and downstream tasks share overlapping features, facilitating model fine-tuning even with limited training examples. Specifically, we introduce a contrastive objective that regularizes the tokens, capturing the semantics within and across features. During the pre-training stage, the tokens are learned jointly with top-layer deep models such as transformer. In the downstream task, tokens of the shared features are kept fixed while TabToken efficiently fine-tunes the remaining parts of the model. TabToken not only enables knowledge transfer from a pre-trained model to tasks with heterogeneous features, but also enhances the discriminative ability of deep tabular models in standard classification and regression tasks.
Can strong structural encoding reduce the importance of Message Passing?
Venue: arXiv cs.LG 2023
Year: 2023

The most prevalent class of neural networks operating on graphs are message passing neural networks (MPNNs), in which the representation of a node is updated iteratively by aggregating information in the 1-hop neighborhood. Since this paradigm for computing node embeddings may prevent the model from learning coarse topological structures, the initial features are often augmented with structural information of the graph, typically in the form of Laplacian eigenvectors or Random Walk transition probabilities. In this work, we explore the contribution of message passing when strong structural encodings are provided. We introduce a novel way of modeling the interaction between feature and structural information based on their tensor product rather than the standard concatenation. The choice of interaction is compared in common scenarios and in settings where the capacity of the message-passing layer is severely reduced and ultimately the message-passing phase is removed altogether. Our results indicate that using tensor-based encodings is always at least on par with the concatenation-based encoding and that it makes the model much more robust when the message passing layers are removed, on some tasks incurring almost no drop in performance. This suggests that the importance of message passing is limited when the model can construct strong structural encodings.
DeTiME: Diffusion-Enhanced Topic Modeling using Encoder-decoder based LLM
Venue: arXiv cs.CL 2023
Year: 2023

In the burgeoning field of natural language processing (NLP), Neural Topic Models (NTMs) , Large Language Models (LLMs) and Diffusion model have emerged as areas of significant research interest. Despite this, NTMs primarily utilize contextual embeddings from LLMs, which are not optimal for clustering or capable for topic based text generation. NTMs have never been combined with diffusion model for text generation. Our study addresses these gaps by introducing a novel framework named Diffusion-Enhanced Topic Modeling using Encoder-Decoder-based LLMs (DeTiME). DeTiME leverages Encoder-Decoder-based LLMs to produce highly clusterable embeddings that could generate topics that exhibit both superior clusterability and enhanced semantic coherence compared to existing methods. Additionally, by exploiting the power of diffusion model, our framework also provides the capability to do topic based text generation. This dual functionality allows users to efficiently produce highly clustered topics and topic based text generation simultaneously. DeTiME's potential extends to generating clustered embeddings as well. Notably, our proposed framework(both encoder-decoder based LLM and diffusion model) proves to be efficient to train and exhibits high adaptability to other LLMs and diffusion model, demonstrating its potential for a wide array of applications.
Why LLMs Hallucinate, and How to Get (Evidential) Closure: Perceptual, Intensional, and Extensional Learning for Faithful Natural Language Generation
Venue: arXiv cs.CL 2023
Year: 2023

We show that LLMs hallucinate because their output is not constrained to be synonymous with claims for which they have evidence: a condition that we call evidential closure. Information about the truth or falsity of sentences is not statistically identified in the standard neural probabilistic language model setup, and so cannot be conditioned on to generate new strings. We then show how to constrain LLMs to produce output that does satisfy evidential closure. A multimodal LLM must learn about the external world (perceptual learning); it must learn a mapping from strings to states of the world (extensional learning); and, to achieve fluency when generalizing beyond a body of evidence, it must learn mappings from strings to their synonyms (intensional learning). The output of a unimodal LLM must be synonymous with strings in a validated evidence set. Finally, we present a heuristic procedure, Learn-Babble-Prune, that yields faithful output from an LLM by rejecting output that is not synonymous with claims for which the LLM has evidence.
Mind the Gap Between Conversations for Improved Long-Term Dialogue Generation
Venue: arXiv cs.CL 2023
Year: 2023

Knowing how to end and resume conversations over time is a natural part of communication, allowing for discussions to span weeks, months, or years. The duration of gaps between conversations dictates which topics are relevant and which questions to ask, and dialogue systems which do not explicitly model time may generate responses that are unnatural. In this work we explore the idea of making dialogue models aware of time, and present GapChat, a multi-session dialogue dataset in which the time between each session varies. While the dataset is constructed in real-time, progress on events in speakers' lives is simulated in order to create realistic dialogues occurring across a long timespan. We expose time information to the model and compare different representations of time and event progress. In human evaluation we show that time-aware models perform better in metrics that judge the relevance of the chosen topics and the information gained from the conversation.
RIS-based IMT-2030 Testbed for MmWave Multi-stream Ultra-massive MIMO Communications
Venue: arXiv cs.IT 2023
Year: 2023

As one enabling technique of the future sixth generation (6G) network, ultra-massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) can support high-speed data transmissions and cell coverage extension. However, it is hard to realize the ultra-massive MIMO via traditional phased arrays due to unacceptable power consumption. To address this issue, reconfigurable intelligent surface-based (RIS-based) antennas are an energy-efficient enabler of the ultra-massive MIMO, since they are free of energy-hungry phase shifters. In this article, we report the performances of the RIS-enabled ultra-massive MIMO via a project called Verification of MmWave Multi-stream Transmissions Enabled by RIS-based Ultra-massive MIMO for 6G (V4M), which was proposed to promote the evolution towards IMT-2030. In the V4M project, we manufacture RIS-based antennas with 1024 one-bit elements working at 26 GHz, based on which an mmWave dual-stream ultra-massive MIMO prototype is implemented for the first time. To approach practical settings, the Tx and Rx of the prototype are implemented by one commercial new radio base station and one off-the-shelf user equipment, respectively. The measured data rate of the dual-stream prototype approaches the theoretical peak rate. Our contributions to the V4M project are also discussed by presenting technological challenges and corresponding solutions.

We propose an approach for the generation of topology-optimized structures with text-guided appearance stylization. This methodology aims to enrich the concurrent design of a structure's physical functionality and aesthetic appearance. Users can effortlessly input descriptive text to govern the style of the structure. Our system employs a hash-encoded neural network as the implicit structure representation backbone, which serves as the foundation for the co-optimization of structural mechanical performance, style, and connectivity, to ensure full-color, high-quality 3D-printable solutions. We substantiate the effectiveness of our system through extensive comparisons, demonstrations, and a 3D printing test.

Modeling and Design of the Communication Sensing and Control Coupled Closed-Loop Industrial System
Venue: arXiv cs.PF 2023
Year: 2023

With the advent of 5G era, factories are transitioning towards wireless networks to break free from the limitations of wired networks. In 5G-enabled factories, unmanned automatic devices such as automated guided vehicles and robotic arms complete production tasks cooperatively through the periodic control loops. In such loops, the sensing data is generated by sensors, and transmitted to the control center through uplink wireless communications. The corresponding control commands are generated and sent back to the devices through downlink wireless communications. Since wireless communications, sensing and control are tightly coupled, there are big challenges on the modeling and design of such closed-loop systems. In particular, existing theoretical tools of these functionalities have different modelings and underlying assumptions, which make it difficult for them to collaborate with each other. Therefore, in this paper, an analytical closed-loop model is proposed, where the performances and resources of communication, sensing and control are deeply related. To achieve the optimal control performance, a co-design of communication resource allocation and control method is proposed, inspired by the model predictive control algorithm. Numerical results are provided to demonstrate the relationships between the resources and control performances.
Capacity-based Spatial Modulation Constellation and Pre-scaling Design
Venue: arXiv cs.IT 2023
Year: 2023

Spatial Modulation (SM) can utilize the index of the transmit antenna (TA) to transmit additional information. In this paper, to improve the performance of SM, a non-uniform constellation (NUC) and pre-scaling coefficients optimization design scheme is proposed. The bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) capacity calculation formula of SM system is firstly derived. The constellation and pre-scaling coefficients are optimized by maximizing the BICM capacity without channel state information (CSI) feedback. Optimization results are given for the multiple-input-single-output (MISO) system with Rayleigh channel. Simulation result shows the proposed scheme provides a meaningful performance gain compared to conventional SM system without CSI feedback. The proposed optimization design scheme can be a promising technology for future 6G to achieve high-efficiency.
Using Slisemap to interpret physical data
Venue: arXiv cs.LG 2023
Year: 2023

Manifold visualisation techniques are commonly used to visualise high-dimensional datasets in physical sciences. In this paper we apply a recently introduced manifold visualisation method, called Slise, on datasets from physics and chemistry. Slisemap combines manifold visualisation with explainable artificial intelligence. Explainable artificial intelligence is used to investigate the decision processes of black box machine learning models and complex simulators. With Slisemap we find an embedding such that data items with similar local explanations are grouped together. Hence, Slisemap gives us an overview of the different behaviours of a black box model. This makes Slisemap into a supervised manifold visualisation method, where the patterns in the embedding reflect a target property. In this paper we show how Slisemap can be used and evaluated on physical data and that Slisemap is helpful in finding meaningful information on classification and regression models trained on these datasets.
Dynamic Convolutional Neural Networks as Efficient Pre-trained Audio Models
Venue: arXiv cs.SD 2023
Year: 2023

The introduction of large-scale audio datasets, such as AudioSet, paved the way for Transformers to conquer the audio domain and replace CNNs as the state-of-the-art neural network architecture for many tasks. Audio Spectrogram Transformers are excellent at exploiting large datasets, creating powerful pre-trained models that surpass CNNs when fine-tuned on downstream tasks. However, current popular Audio Spectrogram Transformers are demanding in terms of computational complexity compared to CNNs. Recently, we have shown that, by employing Transformer-to-CNN Knowledge Distillation, efficient CNNs can catch up with and even outperform Transformers on large datasets. In this work, we extend this line of research and increase the capacity of efficient CNNs by introducing dynamic CNN blocks, constructed of dynamic non-linearities, dynamic convolutions and attention mechanisms. We show that these dynamic CNNs outperform traditional efficient CNNs, in terms of the performance-complexity trade-off and parameter efficiency, at the task of audio tagging on the large-scale AudioSet. Our experiments further indicate that the introduced dynamic CNNs achieve better performance on downstream tasks and scale up well, attaining Transformer performance and even outperforming them on AudioSet and several downstream tasks.

Year: 2023

The burgeoning capabilities of advanced large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT have led to an increase in synthetic content generation with implications across a variety of sectors, including media, cybersecurity, public discourse, and education. As such, the ability to detect LLMs-generated content has become of paramount importance. We aim to provide a detailed overview of existing detection strategies and benchmarks, scrutinizing their differences and identifying key challenges and prospects in the field, advocating for more adaptable and robust models to enhance detection accuracy.
