MULTIPLE REPRESENTATION TRANSFER FROM LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS TO END-TO-END ASR SYSTEMS
Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2024

description: Transferring the knowledge of large language models (LLMs) is a promising technique to incorporate linguistic knowledge into end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. However, existing works only transfer a single representation of LLM (e.g. the last layer of pretrained BERT), while the representation of a text is inherently non-unique and can be obtained variously from different layers, contexts and models. In this work, we explore a wide range of techniques to obtain and transfer multiple representations of LLMs into a transducer-based ASR system. While being conceptually simple, we show that transferring multiple representations of LLMs can be an effective alternative to transferring only a single representation.

description: In recent years, commercial banks have been actively involved in financing projects related to the green economy, reflecting the global trend of transition to sustainable development. Many banks are switching to electronic document management and using alternative energy sources for their operations. Despite the positive changes, banks face certain challenges. There is a risk that financing green technologies may negatively affect the performance of traditional companies. The State provides support commercial banks in the implementation of green economy projects. The Bank of Russia and other government organizations are developing concessional lending programs that allow banks to provide loans on more favorable terms for projects aimed at sustainable development. This may include reducing capital reserve requirements for "green" projects, which makes them more attractive to banks. Commercial banks can receive subsidies to cover part of the interest rates on loans issued to finance environmentally friendly projects. This reduces the financial burden on borrowers and encourages them to implement sustainable initiatives. In some cases, Russian banks may cooperate with international financial institutions. The implementation of green economy projects by commercial banks is not widespread enough. The successful development of green banking requires an integrated approach, including the adaptation of products, internal processes and corporate culture to new environmental standards. This study is devoted to an overview of the mechanisms and methods of stimulating and implementing green banking.

limitations of a document

description: When appointing an examination of the statute of limitations of a document, the courts traditionally take into account the expert’s experience expressed in the years of expert activity, the timing and cost of the examination. However, any traditional approach tends to become obsolete. When assessing the quality of the choice of expert methods, one should first take into account the social damage that may arise as a result of receiving court decisions based on erroneous or unfair conclusions of an expert. And only secondarily evaluate the cost and timing of the examination. Almost all such examinations in Russia are performed by gas chromatography. At the same time, there is already an awareness in the world that it is necessary to look for an alternative to this method. The number of refused expert opinions containing the wording “not possible” is close to 100%. The reason for this is that, in addition to the limitations inherent in the chromatography method, an incorrect physicochemical model of the process, based more on everyday experience than on scientific knowledge, is proposed for data processing. World science in this matter goes in two directions: attempts to improve chromatographic methods by means of complicated procedures of sample preparation, search for new components with long “evaporation” period, adaptation of sampling devices and extraction methods, etc, and develops new, non-chromatographic, physicochemical models of degradation of writing compositions. The lag of domestic science has led to a sharp decline in the quality of methodological support for determining the age of documents and created the risk that a large number of legal disputes related to the examination of the age of a document will be resolved not in favor of the truth. Meanwhile, the other extreme is unacceptable: a complete refusal to standardize forensic methods. Improves the quality of forensic methods, the development of a special system of standards or technical regulations is required. Alas, the norms of metrology, the courts are considered as secondary and insignificant, which contradicts world experience.

It is established that the existing method of calculation contains errors and does not allow obtaining a reliable result. The method of calculation of the conditional probability of people being affected by fire is not suitable for practical application, as outside the burning spill of flammable liquid the UWPL is always equal to zero, and inside the spill the method has no solution.

description: When laying pipelines using concrete supports and frames in the overhead laying scheme, the pipes may experience deformation and tension due to the height at which they are installed, typically between 1.0-1.5m from the ground surface. The installation of overhead pipeline on hard or collapsible foundations causes bending due to the combined weight of the pipes and the transported product. This text discusses the use of three moment equations to solve this problem.
ENHANCED SCREEN SHOOTING RESILIENT DOCUMENT WATERMARKING
Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2024

description: The widespread adoption of smartphones has introduced new challenges to document copyright protection, prompting the emergence of Screen-Shooting Resilient Document Watermarking (SSRDW) technology. In recent years, underpainting-based SSRDW techniques have proven to be highly effective. However, after careful study, we find that existing methods fail to simultaneously meet four essential criteria for SSRDW: high imperceptibility, strong
robustness, adaptability to text processing, and high efficiency. In this paper, we introduce an enhanced underpainting-based SSRDW approach capable of satisfying all four requirements. Our approach enhances imperceptibility by employing underpainting embedding methods independent of text content. Additionally, we introduce a fast resynchronization mechanism to improve time efficiency. Furthermore, we propose an enhanced watermark extraction method that enhances robustness and enables watermark retrieval even in scenarios involving text processing. Extensive experimental validation underscores the superior performance of our enhanced SSRDW method.

description: The issues of reliability and efficiency of operation of field and main oil and gas pipelines and control of energy characteristics during their operation are of no small importance. The efficiency of pipelines depends on the technical condition of facilities and equipment and the rationality of their use. The practice of operating pipelines shows that emergency and abnormal cases occur in them. Significant irregular pressure and flow pulsations are observed in pipelines. Waves of high and low shock pressure often occur and propagate along the pipeline. Along with density, additional pressure in the system from hydrodynamic impacts also arises from the elasticity of the pumped liquid and the pipeline itself. This pressure is determined by the elastic compression of the transported system and the elastic expansion of the pipeline as the pressure in it increases. The pipeline through which the multiphase flow is pumped, and its structures and other components must withstand dynamic loads. The work analyzes various modes of water impact. The volume of oil caused by its compression during hydraulic impact was calculated. The results of calculating the increase of an oil pipeline volume due to a dynamic impact are presented.

description: Graph attention neural network (GAT) stands as a fundamental model within graph neural networks, extensively employed across various applications. It assigns different weights to different nodes for feature aggregation by comparing the similarity of features between nodes. However, as the amount and density of graph data increases, GAT's computational demands rise steeply. In response, we present FastGAT, a simpler and more efficient graph attention neural network with global-aware adaptive computational node attention. FastGAT assigns a trainable attention weight to each node and updates it adaptively. Experiments show that FastGAT reduces training time on eight public datasets by 6.22\%  to 19.50\% while maintaining the same performance. The code is available via https://github.com/szYang2000/FastGAT.

description: Existing video watermarking embeds robust watermarks in each frame of the video for copyright protection and tracking. However, just as any content written on a blank paper is easily perceived, embedding watermarks in the texture-poor frames impairs imperceptibility. Common geometric attacks such as scaling and rotation pose a significant challenge to the existing video watermarking. Image watermarking based on moments is robust against geometric attacks. However, momentbased watermarking is difficult to migrate to the video due to its lack of perceptual guarantee and high computational cost. In this paper, we propose an adaptive video watermarking scheme by exploring the relationship between moments and video textures, which can adaptively select texture-rich frames to embed watermarks for perceptual guarantee. Furthermore, we utilize the properties of moment calculation in videos to optimize efficiency. Extensive experiments show that the proposed method can achieve better imperceptibility than existing methods while maintaining strong robustness.

Noise-Aware Speech Separation with Contrastive Learning
Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2024

description: Recently, speech separation (SS) task has achieved remarkable progress driven by deep learning technique. However, it is still challenging to separate target speech from noisy mixture, as the neural model is vulnerable to assign background noise to each speaker. In this paper, we propose a noise-aware SS (NASS) method, which aims to improve the speech quality for separated signals under noisy conditions. Specifically, NASS views background noise as an additional output and predicts it along with other speakers in a mask-based manner. To effectively denoise, we introduce patch-wise contrastive learning (PCL) between noise and speaker representations from the decoder input and encoder output. PCL loss aims to minimize the mutual information between predicted noise and other speakers at multiple-patch level to suppress the noise information in separated signals. Experimental results show that NASS achieves 1 to 2dB SI-SNRi or SDRi over DPRNN and Sepformer on WHAM! and LibriMix noisy datasets, with less than 0.1M parameter increase.

description: The ICASSP 2024 Speech Signal Improvement (SSI) Challenge seeks to address speech quality degradation problems in telecommunication systems. In this context, this paper proposes RENet, a time-frequency (T-F) domain method leveraging complex spectrum mapping to mitigate speech distortions. Specifically, the proposed RENet is a multi-stage network. First, TF-GridGAN was designed to recover the degraded speech with a generative adversarial network (GAN). Second, a full-band enhancement module was introduced to eliminate residual noises and artifacts existed in the output of TF-GridGAN. Finally, a lightweight bandwidth extension (BWE) network was implemented to further improve the speech quality by generating high-resolution speeches. Subjective results confirmed the competitive performance of the proposed method under various distortions, and the proposed method ranked the 2nd place in the non-real-time track of the ICASSP 2024 SSI Challenge.

description: Generating multi-instrument music from symbolic music representations is an important task in Music Information Retrieval (MIR). A central but still largely unsolved problem in this context is musically and acoustically informed control in the generation process. As the main contribution of this work, we propose enhancing control of multi-instrument synthesis by conditioning a generative model on a specific performance and recording environment, thus allowing for better guidance of timbre and style. Building on state-of-the-art diffusion-based music generative models, we introduce performance conditioning -- a simple tool indicating the generative model to synthesize music with style and timbre of specific instruments taken from specific performances. Our prototype is evaluated using uncurated performances with diverse instrumentation and achieves state-of-the-art FAD realism scores while allowing novel timbre and style control.

The article considers the final stage of algorithmization of system-scenario multifactor modeling of optimization of economic potential on the basis of strategic decision-making matrix, which includes analytical tools for point positioning of the level of economic potential development in the context of variability of complex analytical scenarios of growth of potential-efficiency of the enterprise taking into account the factors of globalization and international integration. At the enterprise level the optimization strategic task of economic potential management is solved, which provides for the use of more detailed decomposition of economic potential, a wide range of indicators taking into account the specifics of the enterprise's activity, accurate determination of the values of the elements of potential. The development of economic and mathematical model of economic potential management at the level of textile industry enterprises is made in accordance with the general theory of systems. In order to optimize management, modeling interactions between the parameters of the economic potential of textile enterprises is an effective management tool and relates to solving the task of targeted management related to the multilevel system of private criteria, their unequal value, the need to simultaneously take into account both quantitatively and qualitatively specified indicators of private potentials. Based on this definition, further modeling of economic potential and methods of its analysis are possible. The model experiment allowed us to develop a scenario series of optimization of economic potential according to the criterion of growth potential-efficiency of its development level in the future; to carry out typologization of the description of functional tools of market strategies.

description: Genus Porricondyla Rondani, 1840
With 79 species extant in the world, including seven species named in the present paper, Porricondyla is the largest genus of Porricondylinae (Gagné & Jaschhof 2021; de Almeida Garcia et al. 2023c). The bulk of species were described from the Palearctic region, especially Europe, and only a few from all other regions but the Afrotropics. The 39 species known from Europe were either reviewed or newly described in recent years (Jaschhof & Jaschhof 2013, 2020a). Even so, gaps in our knowledge of European Porricondyla persist. For instance, while Porricondyla colpodioides Mamaev, 1963 sensu Jaschhof & Jaschhof (2013) was previously discovered to be an unresolved aggregate of species (Jaschhof & Jaschhof 2021a), further cases of hidden diversity were revealed only by the present project (see below). Also, there is no doubt that a number of new Porricondyla remain to be found, especially in those parts of Europe that have never been methodically surveyed for porricondylines. The German fauna sets a good example here. Prior to the present study there were German records of six Porricondyla, but now there is evidence of 31, including 13 new species. While seven of the new species are described below, the rest remain unnamed for the time being because the specimens at hand are insufficient for taxonomic description.

description: The risk of depletion of oil and gas resources, which the countries of the world have been using for many years, is increasing over time. Also, considering that the oil and gas sector is one of the main causes of climate change, it is necessary to move away from this type of fuel. In this case, there is a need to use alternative and renewable energy sources in the world. The research area is located in the southeastern part of Azerbaijan, where mineral-thermal water deposits have formed. Mineral-thermal water deposits of the region are divided into 3 groups (Masalli, Lankaran and Astara). The northern zone (Masalli group mineral waters) was mainly formed in the section consisting of the alternation of Paleogene cracked sandstones siltstone and argillite. These waters belong to the chlorinated-sodium-calcium chemical composition and the degree of mineralization in the amount of 17 g/l. The water temperature reaches 64-66 ºC. The central zone (Lankaran zone) is mainly formed in the intersection of Eocene cracked tuff-sandstones, argillite and siltstones, it has a chlorine-sodium-calcium chemical composition, the degree of mineralization is 5-6 g/l, the temperature is within the limits of 50 ºC, it is completely nitrogenous, hydrogen-sulphide. has a gas content. The southern zone (Astara zone) has high mineralization (20 g/l), chlorine-sodium-calcium chemical composition, nitrogen, methane and hydrogen-sulfide gas content, water temperature is within 50 ºC. The mineral waters discovered in the research area can be used for therapeutic purposes. The thermal waters formed in the research area can be used as a source of renewable energy.

description: The mountainous regions of the Earth have significant elevation differences even on small areas of the earth's surface, which is the main reason for the characteristic combination of natural conditions in these regions. This includes height as a leading factor, resulting in relief and a corresponding complex of natural components. All other components of development in these areas will be radically different from those in nearby plains, and the conditions of existence for the population will also be characteristic of these territories. These conditions affect lifestyle, occupation, and health. Altitude is most clearly traced in the variability of hydroclimatic, soilbiological, and landscape components vertically. As altitude and climatic components directly affect agricultural specialization, it is important to consider these factors when planning agricultural activities in mountainous areas. There is a change in the direction of reducing the duration of the vegetation period for plants. Agriculture is associated with growing coldresistant plants, while heat-loving plants are grown on the plains and their growing season is shorter. The physical and geographical challenges of highlands involve determining the limits of disturbance or barrier that can cause instability, as well as forecasting the development of weak components. It is necessary to identify processes that affect the development of mountains. These include altitude, topography, climate, and weathering, which together determine the stability of natural complexes in highlands.

Diagnosis
Morphology
The gonostylar tooth of P. acutistylata sp. nov. is comb-shaped, i.e., consists of numerous individual spines with a common, conjunctive base, which places this species in subdivision A of Jaschhof & Jaschhof’s (2013) intrageneric classification. Within that subdivision, the new species is characterized by a set of terminalia characters, as follows (Fig. 22A). The gonostylus is both markedly bent and tapered towards the apex (↓ 1); the long, slender and for the most part moderately sclerotized parameres have conspicuously pale, strongly bent apices (↓ 2); and the large, broadly rounded gonocoxal processes are completely membranous (↓ 3). Larvae and females of the new species are unknown.

description: The article is devoted to the study of the natural risk impact on the operation of railway industry facilities using a Bayesian network model in the GeNIe Modeler software package. Statistics of railway accidents from floods over the past few years have allowed to identify the main parameters of the model, the network structure is based on the experience and expert opinion of railway industry workers and foreign researchers. The results show that natural and climatic factors can cause serious disruptions in the operation of railway transport, and in the case of dangerous goods, create conditions for developing cascading accidents. The developed Bayesian model can be used in integrated planning and railway system management during floods.

description: The article examines the impact of the printing industry on environmental pollution. It was determined that the environmental problem is particularly relevant in this industry due to the high concentration of printing facilities in residential areas. The printing industry releases various harmful substances into the environment. Pollutants entering the atmosphere and wastewater entering the soil and groundwater are dangerous for humans, animals and plants. In the printing process, the printing ink breaks down, which causes the effect of ink dusting. This paper proposes a method to determine the amount of ink involved in dusting, taking into account the surface roughness of the printing plate. For this purpose, profilograms of the surface roughness of the printing form were taken. It was determined that an increase in the surface roughness of the printing form leads to an increase in the amount of ink involved in the dusting process, which, according to the results of theoretical studies, is 16.6% of the total amount of ink applied to the printing form. the surface of the printing form. It was also determined that the variation scheme of the amount of ink involved in the formation of dust in all sections of the printing machine is the same. The amount of paint involved in the formation of dust also increases many times with the increase in circulation. In order to experimentally confirm the theoretical results, the amount of ink applied to the surface of the printing plate was determined by the gravimetric method and the amount of ink involved in the formation of dust was calculated. The obtained results can be important information to ensure the cleanliness of the environment. The proposed method for determining the amount of ink involved in dust formation may be useful for professionals dealing with environmental problems in the printing industry. Also, the results of calculations can be used to solve environmental problems.

description: The article is devoted to the comparative analysis of regional economic policy conducted in developed countries and in Russia. The processes of development and realization of the regional policy of developed countries are investigated, which include the correct choice of objects for which the stimulation or restriction of economic growth is envisaged. It is noted that the market processes of the 90s of the last century in Russia took place against the background of economic crisis, accompanied by a decline in the standard of living of society, the growth of the differentiation of the country's regions in terms of socio-economic development, which contributed to the emergence of depressive territories. The important components of the concept of “depressive region” are considered, as well as the established subtypes of depressive regions are presented, their features are highlighted. It is noted that the depressiveness of regional development had a direct dependence on the sharp decline in living standards in the years of market transformation. On the example of such a depressive region as the Chechen Republic the analysis of successful implementation of government measures to achieve sustainable socioeconomic development of the region is carried out.

description: This paper explores the social capital of an emergent beef quality brand in two valleys (Ansó and Hecho) in the Spanish Pyrenees through a combination of participatory approaches (focus groups) and Social Network Analysis. We organised three focus groups with stakeholders from the administration, tourism and commerce, and farming sectors to evaluate the interest for the initiative. In the Social Network Analysis, we surveyed 32 local stakeholders to construct an advisory network, including the surveyed actors and non-surveyed actors that they mentioned, and a trust network, including only the surveyed actors and their trust level in each other. The trust network was analysed using the Louvain’s algorithm to identify potential internal communities and the exponential random graph model (ERGM) to infer the shaping effects of actors’ attributes on the network’s structure. Our results revealed a general interest of the stakeholders in the beef quality brand and a sparse network characterised by a propensity to mutual and open interactions with four clusters based on employment sectors/educational levels and connected by two prominent actors. Therefore, the social capital of the initiative showed both risks because a loss of these few prominent actors could inhibit the network, and opportunities, because their presence, along with the mutual and open interactions, would ensure efficient information exchange. The investigation revealed also two possible limiting factors: the absence of a coordinator and the actors’ unwillingness to assume this role. The results confirmed the efficacy of the methodology used to investigate the social capital of emergent initiatives, but further research should be carried out including stakeholders’ concerns on its economic implications.HIGHLIGHTSFocus groups and Social Network Analysis allowed to explore the social capital of a beef production quality brand initiative.A sparse network with mutual interactions but few central actors emerged.The absence of a coordinator and unwillingness to cover the role are possible limiting factors.
