description: Recently, tool learning with large language models (LLMs) has emerged as a promising paradigm for augmenting the capabilities of LLMs to tackle highly complex problems. Despite growing attention and rapid advancements in this field, the existing literature remains fragmented and lacks systematic organization, posing barriers to entry for newcomers. This gap motivates us to conduct a comprehensive survey of existing works on tool learning with LLMs. In this survey, we focus on reviewing existing literature from the two primary aspects (1) why tool learning is beneficial and (2) how tool learning is implemented, enabling a comprehensive understanding of tool learning with LLMs. We first explore the "why" by reviewing both the benefits of tool integration and the inherent benefits of the tool learning paradigm from six specific aspects. In terms of "how", we systematically review the literature according to a taxonomy of four key stages in the tool learning workflow: task planning, tool selection, tool calling, and response generation. Additionally, we provide a detailed summary of existing benchmarks and evaluation methods, categorizing them according to their relevance to different stages. Finally, we discuss current challenges and outline potential future directions, aiming to inspire both researchers and industrial developers to further explore this emerging and promising area. We also maintain a GitHub repository to continually keep track of the relevant papers and resources in this rising area at https://github.com/quchangle1/LLM-Tool-Survey.

description: Many studies in the management discipline have focused either on what it takes to be a business leader (normative) or what business leaders do (empirical), but little is known about the development of business leadership competence. The contribution of this paper lies in its use of life-stories of highly accomplished business leaders as data, and its dynamic design, focusing on life-long competency development. This paper proposes that highly accomplished business leaders encounter specific 'formative events', engendering learning-to-learn agility, throughout their careers that play central roles in the development of their social identities, and their capacities to deal with change through the use of narrative analysis methodology and clustering techniques. The paper concludes that leadership competence of successful business leaders is developed through the occurrence of formative events that enable them to define their sense of identity, build their capacity to deal with change, and become agile in their ability to learn.

description: Motivated by the recital (67) of the current corrigendum of the AI Act in the European Union, we propose and present measures and mitigation strategies for discrimination in tabular datasets. We specifically focus on datasets that contain multiple protected attributes, such as nationality, age, and sex. This makes measuring and mitigating bias more challenging, as many existing methods are designed for a single protected attribute. This paper comes with a twofold contribution: Firstly, new discrimination measures are introduced. These measures are categorized in our framework along with existing ones, guiding researchers and practitioners in choosing the right measure to assess the fairness of the underlying dataset. Secondly, a novel application of an existing bias mitigation method, FairDo, is presented. We show that this strategy can mitigate any type of discrimination, including intersectional discrimination, by transforming the dataset. By conducting experiments on real-world datasets (Adult, Bank, COMPAS), we demonstrate that de-biasing datasets with multiple protected attributes is possible. All transformed datasets show a reduction in discrimination, on average by 28%. Further, these datasets do not compromise any of the tested machine learning models' performances significantly compared to the original datasets. Conclusively, this study demonstrates the effectiveness of the mitigation strategy used and contributes to the ongoing discussion on the implementation of the European Union's AI Act.

description: Scaling machine learning models significantly improves their performance. However, such gains come at the cost of inference being slow and resource-intensive. Early-exit neural networks (EENNs) offer a promising solution: they accelerate inference by allowing intermediate layers to exit and produce a prediction early. Yet a fundamental issue with EENNs is how to determine when to exit without severely degrading performance. In other words, when is it 'safe' for an EENN to go 'fast'? To address this issue, we investigate how to adapt frameworks of risk control to EENNs. Risk control offers a distribution-free, post-hoc solution that tunes the EENN's exiting mechanism so that exits only occur when the output is of sufficient quality. We empirically validate our insights on a range of vision and language tasks, demonstrating that risk control can produce substantial computational savings, all the while preserving user-specified performance goals.

Exploring the entrepreneurial role in determining the liquidity of the Australian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across industries
Creators: name: Drever, Margaret
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The purpose of this paper is to explore the entrepreneurial role determining the liquidity of Australian small and medium-sized enterprises' (SMEs) across industries. Literature in the area of SME liquidity is limited and further research is needed to obtain a better picture of SME liquidity in Australia. This paper reports on an empirical study based upon a one period (1997-98) sample from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Business Longitudinal Survey (BLS). Regression analyses were undertaken on both financial and non-financial variables to identify the determinants of SME liquidity for Australian businesses. Analyses of the results of the BLS data indicate that financial variables appear to be more important than non-financial ones and that SME liquidity varies depending on the industry in which the business operates. There also appear to be major differences between SMEs' liquidity depending on the size of the business. The results of this study have implications for both future research and policy makers.

description: Ising machines are expected to solve combinatorial optimization problems faster than the existing integer programming solvers. These problems, particularly those encountered in practical situations, typically involve inequality constraints. However, owing to the hardware limitations of the current Ising machines, solving combinatorial optimization problems with inequality constraints remains challenging. The Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP) is a typical example of a problem with inequality constraints. The objective function of the CVRP is to minimize the total distance traveled by each vehicle while limiting the total demand of customers served by a single vehicle to the vehicle's capacity. The CVRP is classified as NP-hard and, thus, is commonly solved using heuristic algorithms, such as column generation. Column generation attempts to iteratively generate only the promising routes, as the number of feasible routes increases exponentially. Within this framework, the CVRP is formulated as a set cover problem. The corresponding dual solutions are used to define the pricing subproblem, which is intended to create a new route. By applying Ising machines to this pricing subproblem, the overall computation time can be reduced. This study aims to solve combinatorial optimization problems with inequality constraints using a hybrid algorithm that combines column generation and Ising machines, thereby extending the applications of the latter. We parameterize the difficulty of the inequality constraints and demonstrate that our annealing-assisted column generation can converge to a better lower bound.

description: Objective To determine the magnitude of all-cause mortality risk in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) compared with the general population through a meta-analysis of observational studies. Methods We searched Medline and EMBase databases from their inception to April 2015. Observational studies that met the following criteria were assessed by two researchers: 1) clearly defined AAV identified by either the American College of Rheumatology 1990 classification criteria or the 2012 Chapel Hill Consensus Conference disease definitions, and 2) reported standardized mortality ratios (SMR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). We calculated weighted-pooled summary estimates of SMRs (meta-SMRs) for all cause mortality using random effects model, tested for publication bias and heterogeneity. Results Ten studies met the inclusion criteria, comprising 3,338 AAV patients enrolled from 1966-2009 and a total of 1,091 observed deaths. Overall, we found a 2.7-fold increased risk of death in AAV patients when compared to the general population (meta-SMR 2.71 [95% CI 2.26-3.24]). Analysis on studies that included only granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) cases also indicated a similar mortality risk (meta-SMR 2.63, [95% CI 2.02-3.43]). There was no significant publication bias or small-study effect. Subgroup analyses showed that mortality risks were higher in older cohorts with a trend towards improvement over time (i.e., those with their midpoint of enrolment periods that were between 1980-1993 and 1994-1999, versus 2000-2005). Conclusion Published data indicate there is a 2.7-fold increase in mortality amongst AAV patients compared to the general population.

description: Judgment of people, depending on the nature and scope of procedures to use judgment, differ from each other. Professional experts have not also been excluded from this rule and may make different judgments. The difference in judgment is not related only to judge individuals, but each person may express different opinions on a subject at the time and different circumstances. Stakeholders need to understand the different reasons of professional judgments’ experts in order to properly use the results of their work. In the moment, many factors can contribute to judging people who have a lot of research on them. This research uses the social identity theory to determine the effect of the identity of an auditor partner, a domestic observer or an inspector, on expert judgment. Also part of the research is about outcome knowledge. Most of the research that has been done in the field of audit, state that the auditors have different outcome knowledge. They also have different judgments expressed in the presence or absence of this knowledge. The study also refers to the simultaneous effect of outcome knowledge and social identity. According to the literature, this study reviews the previous research in this area.

description: This interview hears John Durant discuss his long career working at the borderline between academia and museums. Having begun his career working in continuing education, first in Swansea and then Oxford, John took up a newly created post as Assistant Director and Head of Research and Information Services at the Science Museum in 1989. Alongside this role, John became the UK’s first Professor of the Public Understanding of Science at Imperial College, where among other things he created a Master’s programme in Science Communication. In 2000, John left London to become Chief Executive of At-Bristol, a newly built specialist science centre, before becoming Director of the MIT Museum in 2005, where he also held an Adjunct Professorship in Science and Technology Studies. The interview focuses for the most part on John’s time at the Science Museum. He discusses the challenges of balancing an academic post at a university with a senior management role in a museum. He also discusses some of the changes that the Science Museum was undergoing during the late 1980s and early 1990s, under the directorship of Sir Neil Cossons. In particular, John recounts some of the tensions involved in pivoting the museum towards contemporary science and technology instead of the history of these subjects. John’s role as an early adopter and pioneer of what became known as the Public Understanding of Science is a major topic of conversation. He recounts his interest in the field as having stemmed from his early experiences in continuing education and then discusses the role of the Royal Society’s Committee on the Public Understanding of Science (COPUS) in bringing the term into more widespread use. He details how the Science Museum became involved in PUS initiatives, and his role in leading them. Finally, John discusses his recollections of working with industrial sponsors, particularly with regard to the Science Box programme of displays on contemporary topics that the Science Museum began in the early 1990s.

description: The startling success of ChatGPT and other large language models (LLMs) using transformer-based generative neural network architecture in applications such as natural language processing and image synthesis has many researchers excited about potential opportunities in process systems engineering (PSE). The almost human-like performance of LLMs in these areas is indeed very impressive, surprising, and a major breakthrough. Their capabilities are very useful in certain tasks, such as writing first drafts of documents, code writing assistance, text summarization, etc. However, their success is limited in highly scientific domains as they cannot yet reason, plan, or explain due to their lack of in-depth domain knowledge. This is a problem in domains such as chemical engineering as they are governed by fundamental laws of physics and chemistry (and biology), constitutive relations, and highly technical knowledge about materials, processes, and systems. Although purely data-driven machine learning has its immediate uses, the long-term success of AI in scientific and engineering domains would depend on developing hybrid AI systems that use first principles and technical knowledge effectively. We call these hybrid AI systems Large Knowledge Models (LKMs), as they will not be limited to only NLP-based techniques or NLP-like applications. In this paper, we discuss the challenges and opportunities in developing such systems in chemical engineering.

description: In the UK, North America and Australia, credit-bearing discipline specific English for Academic Purposes (EAP) courses are seen as a challenge to remedial views of English as a Second Language and a key element in revitalizing a profession on the periphery of the institution. However, the EAP field has to confront not only institutional challenges to its acceptability as a discipline but also tensions within the field. In this article we examine the tensions which underpin current and future directions in the field, review the development of credit-based EAP courses in the US, UK and Australia, and illustrate our discussion with a case study from the University of Melbourne, We conclude by arguing that discipline specific credit-based EAP offers promising hope for the future of the EAP discipline in higher education, but that to achieve this end the field and practitioners need to find a position between critique of and accommodation to discipline specific content.

description: A strong effort will be dedicated in the coming years to extend the reach of ab initio nuclear-structure calculations to heavy doubly open-shell nuclei. In order to do so, the most efficient strategies to incorporate dominant many-body correlations at play in such nuclei must be identified. With this motivation in mind, the present work pedagogically analyses the inclusion of many-body correlations and their impact on binding energies of Calcium and Chromium isotopes. Employing an empirically-optimal Hamiltonian built from chiral effective field theory, binding energies along both isotopic chains are studied via a hierarchy of approximations based on polynomially-scaling expansion many-body methods. The corresponding results are compared to experimental data and to those obtained via valence-space in-medium similarity renormalization group calculations at the normal-ordered two-body level that act as a reference in the present study. The spherical mean-field approximation is shown to display specific shortcomings in Ca isotopes that can be understood analytically and that are efficiently corrected via the consistent addition of low-order dynamical correlations on top of it. While the same setting cannot appropriately reproduce binding energies in doubly open-shell Cr isotopes, allowing the unperturbed mean-field state to break rotational symmetry permits to efficiently capture the static correlations responsible for the phenomenological differences observed between the two isotopic chains. Eventually, the present work demonstrates in a pedagogical way that polynomially-scaling expansion methods based on unperturbed states that possibly break (and restore) symmetries constitute an optimal route to extend ab initio calculations to heavy closed- and open-shell nuclei.

description: In the realm of audio watermarking, it is challenging to simultaneously encode imperceptible messages while enhancing the message capacity and robustness. Although recent advancements in deep learning-based methods bolster the message capacity and robustness over traditional methods, the encoded messages introduce audible artefacts that restricts their usage in professional settings. In this study, we introduce three key innovations. Firstly, our work is the first deep learning-based model to integrate psychoacoustic model based thresholding to achieve imperceptible watermarks. Secondly, we introduce psuedo-differentiable compression layers, enhancing the robustness of our watermarking algorithm. Lastly, we introduce a method to eliminate the need for perceptual losses, enabling us to achieve SOTA in both robustness as well as imperceptible watermarking. Our contributions lead us to SilentCipher, a model enabling users to encode messages within audio signals sampled at 44.1kHz.

description: Companies need many financing resources for executing available investment projects, settlement of debt and pay dividend to stockholders. One of the main factors to be a successful company is determination of suitable financing resource and making sound decision in this regard. The main objective of the present research is examining the relation between financing method (external financing) and successful of corporation in Tehran stock exchange during 1382-1386 and another objective is which financing resources(share issuing, loan) has a higher impact on company prosperity. We have used two categories of information for studying the above mentioned objectives. The first is library studies, and the second is secondary data in the form of extracted financial information from financial statements of listed companies in Tehran stock exchange which were recognized as smoothers for 82-86 in two categories, the first is including the companies which used share issue and the second is including the companies used bank loan. Then the investigated companies in these two categories, based on their stock return are categorized in two classes successful and unsuccessful. We have tested statistically our research main hypothesis that was a confirmation on the existence of a meaningful relationship between financing method and companies' successful.in conclusion of this research we realized that the share issuing method has a higher impact on successful companies in comparison with loan financing method.

description: In addition to its fundamental interest, the long-distance spin transport with suppressed spin losses is essential for spintronic devices. However, the spin relaxation caused by scattering of the particles carrying the spin, limits the spin transport. We explored spatially indirect excitons (IXs), also known as interlayer excitons, in van der Waals heterostructures (HS) composed of atomically thin layers of transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMD) as spin carries. TMD HS also offer coupling of spin and valley transport. We observed the long-distance spin transport with the decay distances exceeding 100~$μ$m and diverging so spin currents show no decay in the HS. With increasing IX density, we observed spin localization, then long-distance spin transport, and then reentrant spin localization, in agreement with the Bose-Hubbard theory prediction for superfluid and insulating phases in periodic potentials due to moiré superlattices. The suppression of scattering in exciton superfluid suppresses the spin relaxation and enables the long-distance spin transport. This mechanism of protection against the spin relaxation makes IXs a platform for the realization of long-distance decay-less spin transport.

description: A tremendous amount of research has been devoted to understanding how attention can be committed to space or time. Until recently, relatively little research has examined how attention to these two domains combine. The present study addressed this issue. We examined how implicitly manipulating whether participants used a cue to orient attention in time impacts reflexive or volitional shifts in spatial attention. Specifically, participants made speeded manual responses to the detection of a peripherally presented target that appeared either 100, 500, or 1000 ms after the onset of a central cue. Cues were either spatially non-predictive arrows (p = 0.50) or spatially-predictive (p = 0.80) letter cues. Whereas arrow cues can reflexively orient spatial attention even when non-predictive of a target’s spatial location, letters only orient spatial attention when they reliably predict a target location, i.e., the shift is volitional. Further, in one task, a target was presented on every trial, thereby encouraging participants to use the temporal information conveyed by the cue to prepare for the appearance of the target. In another task, 25% of trials contained no target, implicitly discouraging participants from using the cue to direct attention in time. Results indicate that when temporal information is reliable and therefore volitionally processed, then spatial cuing effects emerge regardless of whether attention is oriented reflexively or volitionally. However, when temporal information is unreliable, spatial cuing effects only emerge when spatial cue information is reliable, i.e., when spatial attention is volitionally shifted. Reflexive cues do not elicit spatial orienting when their temporal utility is reduced. These results converge on the notion that reflexive shifts of spatial attention are sensitive to implicit changes in a non-spatial domain, whereas explicit volitional shifts in spatial attention are not.

description: Background: A recent study has shown that it is possible to accurately estimate gestational age (GA) at birth from the DNA methylation (DNAm) of fetal umbilical cord blood/newborn blood spots. This DNAm GA predictor may provide additional information relevant to developmental stage. In 814 mother-neonate pairs, we evaluated the associations between DNAm GA and a number of maternal and offspring characteristics. These characteristics reflect prenatal environmental adversity and are expected to influence newborn developmental stage. Results: DNAm GA acceleration (GAA; i.e., older DNAm GA than chronological GA) of the offspring at birth was associated with maternal age of over 40 years at delivery, pre-eclampsia and fetal demise in a previous pregnancy, maternal pre-eclampsia and treatment with antenatal betamethasone in the index pregnancy, lower neonatal birth size, lower 1-min Apgar score, and female sex. DNAm GA deceleration (GAD; i.e., younger DNAm GA than chronological GA) of the offspring at birth was associated with insulin-treated gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in a previous pregnancy and Sjögren’s syndrome. These findings were more accentuated when the DNAm GA calculation was based on the raw difference between DNAm GA and GA than on the residual from the linear regression of DNAm GA on GA. Conclusions: Our findings show that variations in the DNAm GA of the offspring at birth are associated with a number of maternal and offspring characteristics known to reflect exposure to prenatal environmental adversity. Future studies should be aimed at determining if this biological variation is predictive of developmental adversity.

description: A direct measurement of the ground-state-to-ground-state electron-capture decay $Q$ value of $^{95}$Tc has been performed utilizing the double Penning trap mass spectrometer JYFLTRAP. The $Q$ value was determined to be 1695.92(13) keV by taking advantage of the high resolving power of the phase-imaging ion-cyclotron-resonance technique to resolve the low-lying isomeric state of $^{95}$Tc (excitation energy of 38.910(40) keV) from the ground state. The mass excess of $^{95}$Tc was measured to be $-$86015.95(18) keV/c$^2$, exhibiting a precision of about 28 times higher and in agreement with the value from the newest Atomic Mass Evaluation (AME2020). Combined with the nuclear energy-level data for the decay-daughter $^{95}$Mo, two potential ultra-low $Q$-value transitions are identified for future long-term neutrino-mass determination experiments. The atomic self-consistent many-electron Dirac--Hartree--Fock--Slater method and the nuclear shell model have been used to predict the partial half-lives and energy-release distributions for the two transitions. The dominant correction terms related to those processes are considered, including the exchange and overlap corrections, and the shake-up and shake-off effects. The normalized distribution of the released energy in the electron-capture decay of $^{95}$Tc to excited states of $^{95}$Mo is compared to that of $^{163}$Ho currently being used for electron-neutrino-mass determination.

Putting podcasting into perspective

description: What is to be made of the podcasting phenomenon? Is it, in the words of the title of a forthcoming book, 'pirate radio for the masses', or is it a fad destined to remain primarily a tool of the technologically literate? This paper suggests that podcasting is a 'bypass' technology, allowing individuals to bypass the entire established radio industry in the same way that bloggers functioning as 'citizen journalists' can bypass the mainstream print media. Podcasting allows users to establish uncontrolled point-to-point relationships (fulfilling an early promise of radio) in the same way that bloggers can establish direct links with those who post to their sites. But in both cases---podcasting and blogging---there is potential for a 'roadblock' as major commercial organizations move in. As they seek to coopt the technology in aid of their for-profit purposes, they may undermine the 'free-ofcharge, power-to-the-people' ethos which still surrounds blogging and podcasting as it did in the early days of the Internet. However, the possible assimilation of these tools into corporate promotional strategies may prove to be the key to their making an impact on the masses rather than mainly amongst the technologically aware. By deploying podcasts to support their commercial objectives, relatively resource-rich corporations may move podcasting from its 'on the edge', pseudo-amateur status closer to the centre of the media sphere. This may be exactly what podcasting needs if, like Rowehl, one takes the view that 'Podcasting is a cultural and social revolution, not a technical one'.

description: Deep Operator Networks (DeepOnets) have revolutionized the domain of scientific machine learning for the solution of the inverse problem for dynamical systems. However, their implementation necessitates optimizing a high-dimensional space of parameters and hyperparameters. This fact, along with the requirement of substantial computational resources, poses a barrier to achieving high numerical accuracy. Here, inpsired by DeepONets and to address the above challenges, we present Random Projection-based Operator Networks (RandONets): shallow networks with random projections that learn linear and nonlinear operators. The implementation of RandONets involves: (a) incorporating random bases, thus enabling the use of shallow neural networks with a single hidden layer, where the only unknowns are the output weights of the network's weighted inner product; this reduces dramatically the dimensionality of the parameter space; and, based on this, (b) using established least-squares solvers (e.g., Tikhonov regularization and preconditioned QR decomposition) that offer superior numerical approximation properties compared to other optimization techniques used in deep-learning. In this work, we prove the universal approximation accuracy of RandONets for approximating nonlinear operators and demonstrate their efficiency in approximating linear nonlinear evolution operators (right-hand-sides (RHS)) with a focus on PDEs. We show, that for this particular task, RandONets outperform, both in terms of numerical approximation accuracy and computational cost, the ``vanilla" DeepOnets.
