Penalized Fair Regression for Multiple Groups in Chronic Kidney Disease

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Fair regression methods have the potential to mitigate societal bias concerns in health care, but there has been little work on penalized fair regression when multiple groups experience such bias. We propose a general regression framework that addresses this gap with unfairness penalties for multiple groups. Our approach is demonstrated for binary outcomes with true positive rate disparity penalties. It can be efficiently implemented through reduction to a cost-sensitive classification problem. We additionally introduce novel score functions for automatically selecting penalty weights. Our penalized fair regression methods are empirically studied in simulations, where they achieve a fairness-accuracy frontier beyond that of existing comparison methods. Finally, we apply these methods to a national multi-site primary care study of chronic kidney disease to develop a fair classifier for end-stage renal disease. There we find substantial improvements in fairness for multiple race and ethnicity groups who experience societal bias in the health care system without any appreciable loss in overall fit.


A Comparison of Large Language Model and Human Performance on Random Number Generation Tasks

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

True randomness is for examining how humans generate sequences devoid of predictable incredibly hard to generate artificially [48], and most computergenerated patterns. By adapting an existing human RNGT for an random number generations (RNGs) employed in these LLM-compatible environment, this preliminary study tests whether tasks are actually pseudorandom rather than truly random [11, 25]. ChatGPT-3.5, a large language model (LLM) trained on humangenerated Pseudorandom numbers are generated using algorithms that can text, exhibits human-like cognitive biases when generating produce long sequences of apparently random results, which are random number sequences. Initial findings indicate that entirely determined by an initial value known as a seed. While these ChatGPT-3.5 more effectively avoids repetitive and sequential patterns pseudorandom numbers appear unpredictable and successfully pass compared to humans, with notably lower repeat frequencies many statistical tests for randomness, they are not genuinely random and adjacent number frequencies. Continued research into different because their generation is algorithmically determined and models, parameters, and prompting methodologies will deepen our can theoretically be reproduced if the seed value is known [11, 25].


An Empirical Categorization of Prompting Techniques for Large Language Models: A Practitioner's Guide

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Due to rapid advancements in the development of Large Language Models (LLMs), programming these models with prompts has recently gained significant attention. However, the sheer number of available prompt engineering techniques creates an overwhelming landscape for practitioners looking to utilize these tools. For the most efficient and effective use of LLMs, it is important to compile a comprehensive list of prompting techniques and establish a standardized, interdisciplinary categorization framework. In this survey, we examine some of the most well-known prompting techniques from both academic and practical viewpoints and classify them into seven distinct categories. We present an overview of each category, aiming to clarify their unique contributions and showcase their practical applications in real-world examples in order to equip fellow practitioners with a structured framework for understanding and categorizing prompting techniques tailored to their specific domains. We believe that this approach will help simplify the complex landscape of prompt engineering and enable more effective utilization of LLMs in various applications. By providing practitioners with a systematic approach to prompt categorization, we aim to assist in navigating the intricacies of effective prompt design for conversational pre-trained LLMs and inspire new possibilities in their respective fields.


US 'not looking for a war with Iran,' White House says, strikes designed to 'put an end' to attacks on troops

FOX News

Fox News chief national security correspondent Jennifer Griffin has the latest on the retaliation against the drone attack on U.S. servicemembers in Jordan on'Your World.' The White House stressed Friday evening that the United States is "not looking for a war with Iran," saying the retaliatory strikes carried out in Syria and Iraq were designed to "de-escalate" tensions and "put an end" to attacks on U.S. troops in the region. The United States began retaliatory strikes on more than 85 targets in Iraq and Syria against Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force and affiliated militia groups and proxies. The strikes come in response to the deaths of three U.S. service members last Sunday on a U.S. base in Jordan. White House National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby stressed that the United States is not seeking conflict with Iran or in the Middle East, but explained that the strikes that began Friday evening "will not end" tonight.


Biden to attend dignified transfer of fallen troops killed in Jordan drone attack

FOX News

Fox News White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich has the latest on the pressure on Biden to respond to the attack that killed three U.S. service members, on Special Report. President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will on Friday take part in the dignified transfer of the remains of three troops killed in the Iran-backed militia attack in Jordan last weekend. The Bidens will join the grieving families of the three American service members who died when a drone struck a base, known as Tower 22, near the demilitarized zone on the border between Jordan and Syria. The Iraqi border is only six miles away. The fallen troops were Sgt.


Retrieval-Based Transformer for Table Augmentation

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Data preparation, also called data wrangling, is considered one of the most expensive and time-consuming steps when performing analytics or building machine learning models. Preparing data typically involves collecting and merging data from complex heterogeneous, and often large-scale data sources, such as data lakes. In this paper, we introduce a novel approach toward automatic data wrangling in an attempt to alleviate the effort of end-users, e.g. data analysts, in structuring dynamic views from data lakes in the form of tabular data. We aim to address table augmentation tasks, including row/column population and data imputation. Given a corpus of tables, we propose a retrieval augmented self-trained transformer model. Our self-learning strategy consists in randomly ablating tables from the corpus and training the retrieval-based model to reconstruct the original values or headers given the partial tables as input. We adopt this strategy to first train the dense neural retrieval model encoding table-parts to vectors, and then the end-to-end model trained to perform table augmentation tasks. We test on EntiTables, the standard benchmark for table augmentation, as well as introduce a new benchmark to advance further research: WebTables. Our model consistently and substantially outperforms both supervised statistical methods and the current state-of-the-art transformer-based models.

CQSumDP: A ChatGPT-Annotated Resource for Query-Focused Abstractive Summarization Based on Debatepedia

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Debatepedia is a publicly available dataset consisting of arguments and counter-arguments on controversial topics that has been widely used for the single-document query-focused abstractive summarization task in recent years. However, it has been recently found that this dataset is limited by noise and even most queries in this dataset do not have any relevance to the respective document. In this paper, we present a methodology for cleaning the Debatepedia dataset by leveraging the generative power of large language models to make it suitable for query-focused abstractive summarization. More specifically, we harness the language generation capabilities of ChatGPT to regenerate its queries. We evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed ChatGPT annotated version of the Debatepedia dataset using several benchmark summarization models and demonstrate that the newly annotated version of Debatepedia outperforms the original dataset in terms of both query relevance as well as summary generation quality. We will make this annotated and cleaned version of the dataset publicly available.
