We present a novel approach for integrating Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality traits into large language models (LLMs), addressing the challenges of personality consistency in personalized AI. Our method, "Machine Mindset," involves a two-phase fine-tuning and Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) to embed MBTI traits into LLMs. This approach ensures that models internalize these traits, offering a stable and consistent personality profile. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our models across various domains, showing alignment between model performance and their respective MBTI traits. The paper highlights significant contributions in the development of personality datasets and a new training methodology for personality integration in LLMs, enhancing the potential for personalized AI applications. We also open-sourced our model and part of the data at \url{https://github.com/PKU-YuanGroup/Machine-Mindset}.

In this paper, we present a comprehensive survey on online test-time adaptation (OTTA), a paradigm focused on adapting machine learning models to novel data distributions upon batch arrival. Despite the proliferation of OTTA methods recently, the field is mired in issues like ambiguous settings, antiquated backbones, and inconsistent hyperparameter tuning, obfuscating the real challenges and making reproducibility elusive. For clarity and a rigorous comparison, we classify OTTA techniques into three primary categories and subject them to benchmarks using the potent Vision Transformer (ViT) backbone to discover genuinely effective strategies. Our benchmarks span not only conventional corrupted datasets such as CIFAR-10/100-C and ImageNet-C but also real-world shifts embodied in CIFAR-10.1 and CIFAR-10-Warehouse, encapsulating variations across search engines and synthesized data by diffusion models. To gauge efficiency in online scenarios, we introduce novel evaluation metrics, inclusive of FLOPs, shedding light on the trade-offs between adaptation accuracy and computational overhead. Our findings diverge from existing literature, indicating: (1) transformers exhibit heightened resilience to diverse domain shifts, (2) the efficacy of many OTTA methods hinges on ample batch sizes, and (3) stability in optimization and resistance to perturbations are critical during adaptation, especially when the batch size is 1. Motivated by these insights, we pointed out promising directions for future research. The source code is made available: https://github.com/Jo-wang/OTTA_ViT_survey.

The integration of sensorized vessels, enabling real-time data collection and machine learning-driven data analysis marks a pivotal advancement in the maritime industry. This transformative technology not only can enhance safety, efficiency, and sustainability but also usher in a new era of cost-effective and smart maritime transportation in our increasingly interconnected world. This study presents a deep learning-driven anomaly detection system augmented with interpretable machine learning models for identifying performance anomalies in an industrial sensorized vessel, called TUCANA. We Leverage a human-in-the-loop unsupervised process that involves utilizing standard and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) autoencoders augmented with interpretable surrogate models, i.e., random forest and decision tree, to add transparency and interpretability to the results provided by the deep learning models. The interpretable models also enable automated rule generation for translating the inference into human-readable rules. Additionally, the process also includes providing a projection of the results using t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE), which helps with a better understanding of the structure and relationships within the data and assessment of the identified anomalies. We empirically evaluate the system using real data acquired from the vessel TUCANA and the results involve achieving over 80% precision and 90% recall with the LSTM model used in the process. The interpretable models also provide logical rules aligned with expert thinking, and the t-SNE-based projection enhances interpretability. Our system demonstrates that the proposed approach can be used effectively in real-world scenarios, offering transparency and precision in performance anomaly detection. ARITIME industry plays a crucial role in global mobility, providing cost-effective and efficient transportation for people and goods around the world [1]. From container ships to cruise liners, the industry offers a wide range of vessel types that are designed to meet the diverse needs of modern transportation. As the world becomes more interconnected, the demand for maritime transportation continues to grow, and the industry is constantly evolving to meet these changing needs.

This paper presents a systematic literature review (SLR) on the explainability and interpretability of machine learning (ML) models within the context of predictive process mining, using the PRISMA framework. Given the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and ML systems, understanding the "black-box" nature of these technologies has become increasingly critical. Focusing specifically on the domain of process mining, this paper delves into the challenges of interpreting ML models trained with complex business process data. We differentiate between intrinsically interpretable models and those that require post-hoc explanation techniques, providing a comprehensive overview of the current methodologies and their applications across various application domains. Through a rigorous bibliographic analysis, this research offers a detailed synthesis of the state of explainability and interpretability in predictive process mining, identifying key trends, challenges, and future directions. Our findings aim to equip researchers and practitioners with a deeper understanding of how to develop and implement more trustworthy, transparent, and effective intelligent systems for predictive process analytics.

Defect detection is one of the most important yet challenging tasks in the quality control stage in the manufacturing sector. In this work, we introduce a Tensor Convolutional Neural Network (T-CNN) and examine its performance on a real defect detection application in one of the components of the ultrasonic sensors produced at Robert Bosch's manufacturing plants. Our quantum-inspired T-CNN operates on a reduced model parameter space to substantially improve the training speed and performance of an equivalent CNN model without sacrificing accuracy. More specifically, we demonstrate how T-CNNs are able to reach the same performance as classical CNNs as measured by quality metrics, with up to fifteen times fewer parameters and 4% to 19% faster training times. Our results demonstrate that the T-CNN greatly outperforms the results of traditional human visual inspection, providing value in a current real application in manufacturing.

Synthetic data has made tremendous strides in various commercial settings including finance, healthcare, and virtual reality. We present a broad overview of prototypical applications of synthetic data in the financial sector and in particular provide richer details for a few select ones. These cover a wide variety of data modalities including tabular, time-series, event-series, and unstructured arising from both markets and retail financial applications. Since finance is a highly regulated industry, synthetic data is a potential approach for dealing with issues related to privacy, fairness, and explainability. Various metrics are utilized in evaluating the quality and effectiveness of our approaches in these applications. We conclude with open directions in synthetic data in the context of the financial domain.

A critical function of an organization is to foster the level of integration (coordination and cooperation) necessary to achieve its objectives. The need to coordinate and motivation to cooperate emerges from the myriad dependencies between an organization's members and their work. Therefore, to reason about solutions to coordination and cooperation problems requires a robust representation that includes the underlying dependencies. We find that such a representation remains missing from formal organizational models, and we leverage semantics to bridge this gap. Drawing on well-established organizational research and our extensive fieldwork with one of North America's largest municipalities, (1) we introduce an ontology, formalized in first-order logic, that operationalizes concepts like outcome, reward, and epistemic dependence, and their links to potential integration risks; and (2) present real-world applications of this ontology to analyze and support integration in complex government infrastructure projects. Our ontology is implemented and validated in both Z3 and OWL. Key features of our model include inferable dependencies, explainable coordination and cooperation risks, and actionable insights on how dependency structures within an organization can be altered to mitigate the risks. Conceptualizing real-world challenges like incentive misalignment, free-riding, and subgoal optimization in terms of dependency structures, our semantics-based approach represents a novel method for modelling and enhancing coordination and cooperation. Integrated within a decision-support system, our model may serve as an impactful aid for organizational design and effectiveness. More broadly, our approach underscores the transformative potential of semantics in deriving tangible, real-world value from existing organization theory.

Information extraction (IE) aims to extract structural knowledge (such as entities, relations, and events) from plain natural language texts. Recently, generative Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in text understanding and generation, allowing for generalization across various domains and tasks. As a result, numerous works have been proposed to harness abilities of LLMs and offer viable solutions for IE tasks based on a generative paradigm. To conduct a comprehensive systematic review and exploration of LLM efforts for IE tasks, in this study, we survey the most recent advancements in this field. We first present an extensive overview by categorizing these works in terms of various IE subtasks and learning paradigms, then we empirically analyze the most advanced methods and discover the emerging trend of IE tasks with LLMs. Based on thorough review conducted, we identify several insights in technique and promising research directions that deserve further exploration in future studies. We maintain a public repository and consistently update related resources at: \url{https://github.com/quqxui/Awesome-LLM4IE-Papers}.
