description: The future of conversational agents will provide users with personalized information responses. However, a significant challenge in developing models is the lack of large-scale dialogue datasets that span multiple sessions and reflect real-world user preferences. Previous approaches rely on experts in a wizard-of-oz setup that is difficult to scale, particularly for personalized tasks. Our method, LAPS, addresses this by using large language models (LLMs) to guide a single human worker in generating personalized dialogues. This method has proven to speed up the creation process and improve quality. LAPS can collect large-scale, human-written, multi-session, and multi-domain conversations, including extracting user preferences. When compared to existing datasets, LAPS-produced conversations are as natural and diverse as expert-created ones, which stays in contrast with fully synthetic methods. The collected dataset is suited to train preference extraction and personalized response generation. Our results show that responses generated explicitly using extracted preferences better match user's actual preferences, highlighting the value of using extracted preferences over simple dialogue history. Overall, LAPS introduces a new method to leverage LLMs to create realistic personalized conversational data more efficiently and effectively than previous methods.

description: In lossy image compression, the objective is to achieve minimal signal distortion while compressing images to a specified bit rate. The increasing demand for visual analysis applications, particularly in classification tasks, has emphasized the significance of considering semantic distortion in compressed images. To bridge the gap between image compression and visual analysis, we propose a Rate-Distortion-Classification (RDC) model for lossy image compression, offering a unified framework to optimize the trade-off between rate, distortion, and classification accuracy. The RDC model is extensively analyzed both statistically on a multi-distribution source and experimentally on the widely used MNIST dataset. The findings reveal that the RDC model exhibits desirable properties, including monotonic non-increasing and convex functions, under certain conditions. This work provides insights into the development of human-machine friendly compression methods and Video Coding for Machine (VCM) approaches, paving the way for end-to-end image compression techniques in real-world applications.

[[male]] Capo, torace e peduncolo, con le mandibole e le antenne bruno ferrugineo scurissimo, zampe e addome piu chiari, tarsi giallognoli; capo, torace e peduncolo opachi, con fitta e sottile punteggiatura e con numerosi punti piu grossi, ma non foveiformi, che portano peli ritti, brevi sul pronoto e sul mesonoto, piu lunghi sulle altre parti, come pure sugli scapi e sulle zampe. L'addome propriamente detto non ha peli ritti, fuorche sui due ultimi segmenti ventrali e sul pigidio, ed e coperto di densa peluria aderente, con riflesso sericeo giallognolo: le parti laterali dei margini dei segmenti sono glabre e lucide. Il capo e poco piu stretto del torace; le mandibole, vedute d'innanzi, appariscono un poco angolose al margine esterno presso la base, poi dritte, coi margini subparalleli meno robuste che nell' E. hamatum [[male]], con un forte dente prima del terzo apicale. Il torace e piuttosto robusto; dietro lo scutello discende ripido, ma non verticalmente; il metanoto ha un paio di sporgenze angulose. Il peduncolo e trapezoideo, fortemente ristretto in avanti, con gli angoli anteriori pronunziati, profundamente depresso nel mezzo. L. 15 mm. Ali colorate come nelle specie precedenti.
E ben distinto dagli E. quadriglume, Burchelli e hamatum per la forma delle mandibole e per l'addome sericeo, privo di peli ritti.

description: Potentially habitable exoplanets are targets of great interest for the James Webb Space Telescope and upcoming mission concepts such as the Habitable Worlds Observatory. Clouds strongly affect climate and habitability, but predicting their properties is difficult. In Global Climate Models (GCMs), especially those aiming at simulating Earth, cloud microphysics is often crudely approximated by assuming that all cloud particles have a single, constant size or a prescribed size distribution and that all clouds in a grid cell are identical. For exoplanets that range over a large phase space of planetary properties, this method could result in large errors. In this work, our goal is to determine how cloud microphysics on terrestrial exoplanets, whose condensable is mainly water vapor, depend on aerosol properties and planetary parameters such as surface pressure, surface gravity, and incident stellar radiation. We use the Community Aerosol and Radiation Model for Atmospheres as a 1D microphysical model to simulate the formation and evolution of clouds including the processes of nucleation, condensation, evaporation, coagulation, and vertical transfer. In these 1D idealized experiments, we find that the parameters that determine the macrophysical thermal structure of the atmospheres, including surface pressure and stellar flux, impact cloud radiative effect (CRE) most significantly. Parameters such as gravity and number density of aerosols working as cloud condensation nuclei affect the microphysical processes of cloud formation, including activation and vertical transfer. They also have a significant, though weaker effect on CRE. This work motivates the development of more accurate GCM cloud schemes and should aid in the interpretation of future observations.

Some statistical and data challenges when building early-stage digital experimentation and measurement capabilities
Creators: name: Liu, Chak Hin Bryan

Year: 2023

description: Digital experimentation and measurement (DEM) capabilities – the knowledge and tools necessary to run experiments with digital products, services, or experiences and measure their impact – are fast becoming part of the standard toolkit of digital/data-driven organisations in guiding business decisions. Many large technology companies report having mature DEM capabilities, and several businesses have been established purely to manage experiments for others. Given the growing evidence that data-driven organisations tend to outperform their non-data-driven counterparts, there has never been a greater need for organisations to build/acquire DEM capabilities to thrive in the current digital era. This thesis presents several novel approaches to statistical and data challenges for organisations building DEM capabilities. We focus on the fundamentals associated with building DEM capabilities, which lead to a richer understanding of the underlying assumptions and thus enable us to develop more appropriate capabilities. We address why one should engage in DEM by quantifying the benefits and risks of acquiring DEM capabilities. This is done using a ranking under lower uncertainty model, enabling one to construct a business case. We also examine what ingredients are necessary to run digital experiments. In addition to clarifying the existing literature around statistical tests, datasets, and methods in experimental design and causal inference, we construct an additional dataset and detailed case studies on applying state-of-the-art methods. Finally, we investigate when a digital experiment design would outperform another, leading to an evaluation framework that compares competing designs’ data efficiency. These approaches aim to enable one to run experiments that produce less biased estimates more quickly and adapt to various business constraints. As we maintain the theoretical rigour, we also emphasise applied use cases, interpretable processes/results, and practical tradeoffs, all to ensure that the contributions are accessible to researchers and practitioners from diverse scientific backgrounds.

description: Background: Semaglutide is a well-known drug for long-term weight management but its efficacy and side effects are not well documented in a prospective follow-up study in Bangladesh. Objective: To assess weight-reducing efficacy and side effects of once-weekly subcutaneous Semaglutide at different doses with 3 months follow-up. Methods: Subjects with obesity, intended to lose weight, and having no contraindication of Semaglutide were included in the study. Semaglutide 0.25mg was introduced for the first 4 weeks followed by 0.5mg, and 1.0mg on subsequent follow-up based on tolerability and side effects. Clinical parameters were recorded at baseline and each follow-up. Face-to-face interviews were taken and possible side effects at different doses were recorded in a structured data collection sheet. Results: This preliminary report, included 22 patients (19 females [86.4%]; mean [SD] age, 32.8[8.1] years; mean [SD] BMI, 34.7[3.9]). On monthly follow-up in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd months, follow-up completed 22, 17, and 13 patients respectively. Mean weight loss from baseline at 1st, 2nd, and 3rd follow-ups were 3.5±1.6 (2.8-4.3); 7.1±2.2 (6.0-8.3); 10.3±1.7 (9.2-11.3), 95% CI; p<0.0001, respectively. About 86.4% of the study population lost ≥10% of initial body weight at 3rd Follow-up. Regarding side effects, 50.0%, 64.7%, and 92.3% of patients reported any side effects; 4.5%, 5.9%, and 23.1% of patients developed serious side effects at a mean dose of 0.25, 0.5, and 1.0mg during follow-up. Most of the side effects were GIT origin, commonly anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and acid reflux. While a significant proportion (30.7%) of patients reported hair fall on 1.0mg Semaglutide. Among the major side effects, two patients developed hypoglycemia (DM=1, non-DM=1), and one developed cholelithiasis. No mortality was reported during the follow-up. Conclusions: The use of Semaglutide was associated with significant weight loss, however; side effects were the main obstacle in dose optimization.

title: Challenging the Adaptationist Paradigm: Morphogenesis, Constraints, and Constructions
Creators: name: Tamborini, Marco
Publisher: name: Springer Science
Year: 2024

description: In this paper, I argue that the German morphological tradition made a major contribution to twentieth-century study of form. Several scientists paved the way for this research: paleontologist Adolf Seilacher (1925–2014), entomologist Hermann Weber (1899–1956), and biologist Johann-Gerhard Helmcke (1908–1993) together with architect Frei Otto (1925–2015). All of them sought to examine morphogenetic processes to illustrate their inherent structural properties, thus challenging the neo-Darwinian framework of evolutionary theory. I point out that the German theoretical challenge to adaptationist thinking was possible through an exchange and transfer of practices, data, technologies, and knowledge between biologically oriented students of form and architects, designers, and engineers. This exchange of practices and knowledge was facilitated by the establishment of two collaborative research centers at the beginning of the 1970s. Hence, by showing the richness of topics, methods, and technologies discussed in German-speaking morphology between 1950 and the 1970s, this paper paves the way to a much broader comprehension of the shifts that have shaped twentieth-century evolutionary biology.

description: Emerging ML/AI hardware accelerators, like the 850,000 processor Cerebras Wafer-Scale Engine (WSE), hold great promise to scale up the capabilities of evolutionary computation. However, challenges remain in maintaining visibility into underlying evolutionary processes while efficiently utilizing these platforms' large processor counts. Here, we focus on the problem of extracting phylogenetic information from digital evolution on the WSE platform. We present a tracking-enabled asynchronous island-based genetic algorithm (GA) framework for WSE hardware. Emulated and on-hardware GA benchmarks with a simple tracking-enabled agent model clock upwards of 1 million generations a minute for population sizes reaching 16 million. This pace enables quadrillions of evaluations a day. We validate phylogenetic reconstructions from these trials and demonstrate their suitability for inference of underlying evolutionary conditions. In particular, we demonstrate extraction of clear phylometric signals that differentiate wafer-scale runs with adaptive dynamics enabled versus disabled. Together, these benchmark and validation trials reflect strong potential for highly scalable evolutionary computation that is both efficient and observable. Kernel code implementing the island-model GA supports drop-in customization to support any fixed-length genome content and fitness criteria, allowing it to be leveraged to advance research interests across the community.
