However, the development of such models requires specialized expertise in data science, limiting their broader application. Large language models (LLMs), such as GPT-4, have demonstrated potential in supporting and guiding research efforts. This work presents a novel AI-assisted framework where GPT-4, through well-engineered prompts, facilitates the construction and explanation of multi-objective neural networks. These models predict hydrotreating products properties (such as distillation range), including refined diesel and refined gas oil, using feedstock properties, operating conditions, and recycle hydrogen composition. Gradient-weighted class activation mapping was employed to identify key features influencing the output variables. This work illustrates an innovative AI-guided paradigm for chemical engineering applications, and the designed prompts hold promise for adaptation to other complex processes.展开更多

Recent an unsupervised statistical text simplification based on phrase-based machine translation system (UnsupPBMT) achieved good performance, which initializes the phrase tables using the similar words obtained by word embedding modeling. Since word embedding modeling only considers the relevance between words, the phrase table in UnsupPBMT contains a lot of dissimilar words. In this paper, we propose an unsupervised statistical text simplification using pre-trained language modeling BERT for initialization. Specifically, we use BERT as a general linguistic knowledge base for predicting similar words. Experimental results show that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art unsupervised text simplification methods on three benchmarks, even outperforms some supervised baselines.展开更多

The documents are ranked according to the relative entropies of estimated document language models with respect to the estimated query language model. Two popular and relatively efficient smoothing methods, the Jelinek- Mercer method and the absolute discounting method, are used to smooth the document language model in estimation of the document language, A combined model composed of the feedback document language model and the collection language model is used to estimate the query model. A performacne comparison between the new retrieval method and the existing method with feedback is made, and the retrieval performances of the proposed method with the two different smoothing techniques are evaluated on three Text Retrieval Conference （TREC） data sets. Experimental results show that the method is effective and performs better than the basic language modeling approach; moreover, the method using the Jelinek-Mercer technique performs better than that using the absolute discounting technique, and the perfomance is sensitive to the smoothing peramters.展开更多

文摘Teachers’language modeling behaviors,including frequent conversation,open-ended questions,repetition and extension,self-and parallel talks,and advanced language,have significantly impacted young children’s language learning and development.This study examined 60 classrooms from 20 kindergartens in Guangzhou,China,and analyzed 62 films of daily activities and 57 videos of free play.It aims to address the research gap in existing research that pays little attention to teachers’language modeling behaviors in daily activities and free play.The results indicate that the more frequent teachers’language modeling behaviors,the larger the vocabulary young children use and the better their performance in lexical richness.However,such behaviors in daily activities and free play are infrequent and superficial,failing to guide young children’s language development effectively.To optimize teachers’language modeling behaviors in daily activities and free play,they are expected to establish positive emotional bonds with young children in a kind and respectful manner and receive training.Teachers are also encouraged to frequently communicate and engage in dialogues with young children,create contexts that facilitate the use of language,increase the frequency of stimuli for vocabulary learning,and guide and encourage young children’s advanced language.

文摘With direct expression of individual application domain patterns and ideas,domain-specific modeling language（DSML） is more and more frequently used to build models instead of using a combination of one or more general constructs.Based on the profile mechanism of unified modeling language（UML） 2.2,a kind of DSML is presented to model simulation testing systems of avionic software（STSAS）.To define the syntax,semantics and notions of the DSML,the domain model of the STSAS from which we generalize the domain concepts and relationships among these concepts is given,and then,the domain model is mapped into a UML meta-model,named UML-STSAS profile.Assuming a flight control system（FCS） as system under test（SUT）,we design the relevant STSAS.The results indicate that extending UML to the simulation testing domain can effectively and precisely model STSAS.

文摘In recent years,Volunteered Geographic Information(VGI)has emerged as a crucial source of mapping data,contributed by users through crowdsourcing platforms such as OpenStreetMap.This paper presents a novel approach that Integrates Large Language Models(LLMs)into a fully automated mapping workflow,utilizing VGI data.The process leverages Prompt Engineering,which involves designing and optimizing input instructions to ensure the LLM produces desired mapping outputs.By constructing precise and detailed prompts,LLM agents are able to accurately interpret mapping requirements,and autonomously extract,analyze,and process VGI geospatial data.They dynamically interact with mapping tools to automate the entire mapping process—from data acquisition to map generation.This approach significantly streamlines the creation of high-quality mapping outputs,reducing the time and resources typically required for such tasks.Moreover,the system lowers the barrier for non-expert users,enabling them to generate accurate maps without extensive technical expertise.Through various case studies,we demonstrate the LLM application across different mapping scenarios,highlighting its potential to enhance the efficiency,accuracy,and accessibility of map production.The results suggest that LLM-powered mapping systems can not only optimize VGI data processing but also expand the usability of ubiquitous mapping across diverse fields,including urban planning and infrastructure development.

文摘Peptide-based therapeutics hold great promise for the treatment of various diseases;however,their clinical application is often hindered by toxicity challenges.The accurate prediction of peptide toxicity is crucial for designing safe peptide-based therapeutics.While traditional experimental approaches are time-consuming and expensive,computational methods have emerged as viable alternatives,including similarity-based and machine learning(ML)-/deep learning(DL)-based methods.However,existing methods often struggle with robustness and generalizability.To address these challenges,we propose HyPepTox-Fuse,a novel framework that fuses protein language model(PLM)-based embeddings with conventional descriptors.HyPepTox-Fuse integrates ensemble PLM-based embeddings to achieve richer peptide representations by leveraging a cross-modal multi-head attention mechanism and Transformer architecture.A robust feature ranking and selection pipeline further refines conventional descriptors,thus enhancing prediction performance.Our framework outperforms state-of-the-art methods in cross-validation and independent evaluations,offering a scalable and reliable tool for peptide toxicity prediction.Moreover,we conducted a case study to validate the robustness and generalizability of HyPepTox-Fuse,highlighting its effectiveness in enhancing model performance.Furthermore,the HyPepTox-Fuse server is freely accessible at https://balalab-skku.org/HyPepTox-Fuse/and the source code is publicly available at https://github.com/cbbl-skku-org/HyPepTox-Fuse/.The study thus presents an intuitive platform for predicting peptide toxicity and supports reproducibility through openly available datasets.
文摘Purpose:Evaluating the quality of academic journal articles is a time consuming but critical task for national research evaluation exercises,appointments and promotion.It is therefore important to investigate whether Large Language Models(LLMs)can play a role in this process.Design/methodology/approach:This article assesses which ChatGPT inputs(full text without tables,figures,and references;title and abstract;title only)produce better quality score estimates,and the extent to which scores are affected by ChatGPT models and system prompts.Findings:The optimal input is the article title and abstract,with average ChatGPT scores based on these(30 iterations on a dataset of 51 papers)correlating at 0.67 with human scores,the highest ever reported.ChatGPT 4o is slightly better than 3.5-turbo(0.66),and 4o-mini(0.66).Research limitations:The data is a convenience sample of the work of a single author,it only includes one field,and the scores are self-evaluations.Practical implications:The results suggest that article full texts might confuse LLM research quality evaluations,even though complex system instructions for the task are more effective than simple ones.Thus,whilst abstracts contain insufficient information for a thorough assessment of rigour,they may contain strong pointers about originality and significance.Finally,linear regression can be used to convert the model scores into the human scale scores,which is 31%more accurate than guessing.Originality/value:This is the first systematic comparison of the impact of different prompts,parameters and inputs for ChatGPT research quality evaluations.

文摘Large-scale Language Models(LLMs)have achieved significant breakthroughs in Natural Language Processing(NLP),driven by the pre-training and fine-tuning paradigm.While this approach allows models to specialize in specific tasks with reduced training costs,the substantial memory requirements during fine-tuning present a barrier to broader deployment.Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning(PEFT)techniques,such as Low-Rank Adaptation(LoRA),and parameter quantization methods have emerged as solutions to address these challenges by optimizing memory usage and computational efficiency.Among these,QLoRA,which combines PEFT and quantization,has demonstrated notable success in reducing memory footprints during fine-tuning,prompting the development of various QLoRA variants.Despite these advancements,the quantitative impact of key variables on the fine-tuning performance of quantized LLMs remains underexplored.This study presents a comprehensive analysis of these key variables,focusing on their influence across different layer types and depths within LLM architectures.Our investigation uncovers several critical findings:(1)Larger layers,such as MLP layers,can maintain performance despite reductions in adapter rank,while smaller layers,like self-attention layers,aremore sensitive to such changes;(2)The effectiveness of balancing factors depends more on specific values rather than layer type or depth;(3)In quantization-aware fine-tuning,larger layers can effectively utilize smaller adapters,whereas smaller layers struggle to do so.These insights suggest that layer type is a more significant determinant of fine-tuning success than layer depth when optimizing quantized LLMs.Moreover,for the same discount of trainable parameters,reducing the trainable parameters in a larger layer is more effective in preserving fine-tuning accuracy than in a smaller one.This study provides valuable guidance for more efficient fine-tuning strategies and opens avenues for further research into optimizing LLM fine-tuning in resource-constrained environments.

文摘The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence(AI)and Large Language Models(LLMs)has led to their increasing integration into various domains,from text generation and translation to question-answering.However,a critical question remains:do these sophisticated models,much like humans,exhibit susceptibility to cognitive biases?Understanding the presence and nature of such biases in AI is paramount for assessing their reliability,enhancing their performance,and predicting their societal impact.This research specifically investigates the susceptibility of Google’s Gemini 1.5 Pro and DeepSeek,two prominent LLMs,to framing effects and confirmation bias.The study meticulously designed a series of experimental trials,systematically manipulating information proportions and presentation orders to evaluate these biases.In the framing effect experiment,a genetic testing decision-making scenario was constructed.The proportion of positive and negative information(e.g.,20%,50%,or 80%positive)and their presentation order were varied.The models’inclination towards undergoing genetic testing was recorded.For the confirmation bias experiment,two reports-one positive and one negative-about“RoboTaxi”autonomous vehicles were provided.The proportion of erroneous information within these reports(10%,30%,and 50%)and their presentation order were systematically altered,and the models’support for each report was assessed.The findings demonstrate that both Gemini 1.5 Pro and DeepSeek are susceptible to framing effects.In the genetic testing scenario,their decision-making was primarily influenced by the proportion of positive and negative information presented.When the proportion of positive information was higher,both models showed a greater inclination to recommend or proceed with genetic testing.Conversely,a higher proportion of negative information led to greater caution or a tendency not to recommend the testing.Importantly,the order in which this information was presented did not significantly influence their decisions in the framing effect scenarios.Regarding confirmation bias,the two models exhibited distinct behaviors.Gemini 1.5 Pro did not show an overall preference for either positive or negative reports.However,its judgments were significantly influenced by the order of information presentation,demonstrating a“recency effect,”meaning it tended to support the report presented later.The proportion of erroneous information within the reports had no significant impact on Gemini 1.5 Pro’s decisions.In contrast,DeepSeek exhibited an overall confirmation bias,showing a clear preference for positive reports.Similar to Gemini 1.5 Pro,DeepSeek’s decisions were also significantly affected by the order of information presentation,while the proportion of misinformation had no significant effect.These results reveal human-like cognitive vulnerabilities in advanced LLMs,highlighting critical challenges to their reliability and objectivity in decision-making processes.Gemini 1.5 Pro’s sensitivity to presentation order and DeepSeek’s general preference for positive information,coupled with its sensitivity to order,underscore the need for careful evaluation of potential cognitive biases during the development and application of AI.The study suggests that effective measures are necessary to mitigate these biases and prevent potential negative societal impacts.Future research should include a broader range of models for comparative analysis and explore more complex interactive scenarios to further understand and address these phenomena.The findings contribute significantly to understanding the limitations and capabilities of current AI systems,guiding their responsible development,and anticipating their potential societal implications.
