MPP infections show an endemic transmission pattern with cyclic epidemics every 3-5 years [4, 5], which increases the rate of morbidity, mortality, as well as the cost of healthcare in society. Although most MPP infections in children are known as mild and self-limiting, some cases need hospitalization, even in rare cases, MPP can cause extrapulmonary manifestations, including neurologic, dermatologic, hematologic and cardiac syndromes which can result in hospitalization and death [6, 7]. Macrolide antibiotics are commonly used drugs for the treatment of MPP infection. With the widespread or inappropriate use of antibiotics, and has become an emerging threat worldwide [8, 9, 10], especially in Asia in recent years [11, 12, 13]. Artificial intelligence methods have emerged as a potentially powerful tool to aid in diagnosis and management of diseases, mimicking and perhaps even augmenting the clinical decision-making of human physicians [14]. Due to the high infection rate and severe sequelae of MPP in children patients, there may be a crucial role for AI approaches for the rapid diagnosis based on the basic routine inspections, including demographics and clinical presentations.

The recent surge of complex attention-based deep learning architectures has led to extraordinary results in various downstream NLP tasks in the English language. However, such research for resource-constrained and morphologically rich Indian vernacular languages has been relatively limited. This paper proffers team SPPU\_AKAH's solution for the TechDOfication 2020 subtask-1f: which focuses on the coarse-grained technical domain identification of short text documents in Marathi, a Devanagari script-based Indian language. Availing the large dataset at hand, a hybrid CNN-BiLSTM attention ensemble model is proposed that competently combines the intermediate sentence representations generated by the convolutional neural network and the bidirectional long short-term memory, leading to efficient text classification. Experimental results show that the proposed model outperforms various baseline machine learning and deep learning models in the given task, giving the best validation accuracy of 89.57\% and f1-score of 0.8875. Furthermore, the solution resulted in the best system submission for this subtask, giving a test accuracy of 64.26\% and f1-score of 0.6157, transcending the performances of other teams as well as the baseline system given by the organizers of the shared task.

Existing deep models for code tend to be trained on syntactic program representations. We present an alternative, called Neural Attribute Grammars, that exposes the semantics of the target language to the training procedure using an attribute grammar. During training, our model learns to replicate the relationship between the syntactic rules used to construct a program, and the semantic attributes (for example, symbol tables) constructed from the context in which the rules are fired. We implement the approach as a system for conditional generation of Java programs modulo eleven natural requirements. Our experiments show that the system generates constraint-abiding programs with significantly higher frequency than a baseline model trained on syntactic program representations, and also in terms of generation accuracy.

Humans have the innate ability to attend to the most relevant actors in their vicinity and can forecast how they may behave in the future. This ability will be crucial for the deployment of safety-critical agents such as robots or vehicles which interact with humans. We propose a theoretical framework for this problem setting based on autoregressively modelling sequences of nested sets, using latent variables to better capture multimodal distributions over future sets of sets. We present a new model architecture which we call a Nested Set Transformer which employs multi-head self-attention blocks over sets of sets that serve as a form of social attention between the elements of the sets at every timestep. Our approach can produce a distribution over future trajectories for all agents under consideration, or focus upon the trajectory of an ego-agent. We validate the Nested Set Transformer for autonomous driving settings which we refer to as ("AutoBot"), where we model the trajectory of an ego-agent based on the sequential observations of key attributes of multiple agents in a scene. AutoBot produces results better than state-of-the-art published prior work on the challenging nuScenes vehicle trajectory modeling benchmark. We also examine the multi-agent prediction version of our model and jointly forecast an ego-agent's future trajectory along with the other agents in the scene. We validate the behavior of our proposed Nested Set Transformer for scene level forecasting with a pedestrian trajectory dataset.

This paper introduces a new model to learn graph neural networks equivariant to rotations, translations, reflections and permutations called E(n)- Equivariant Graph Neural Networks (EGNNs). In contrast with existing methods, our work does not require computationally expensive higher-order representations in intermediate layers while it still achieves competitive or better performance. In addition, whereas existing methods are limited to equivariance on 3 dimensional spaces, our model is easily scaled to higher-dimensional spaces. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method on dynamical systems modelling, representation learning in graph autoencoders and predicting molecular properties.

This paper aims at studying the sample complexity of graph convolutional networks (GCNs), by providing tight upper bounds of Rademacher complexity for GCN models with a single hidden layer. Under regularity conditions, theses derived complexity bounds explicitly depend on the largest eigenvalue of graph convolution filter and the degree distribution of the graph. Again, we provide a lower bound of Rademacher complexity for GCNs to show optimality of our derived upper bounds. Taking two commonly used examples as representatives, we discuss the implications of our results in designing graph convolution filters an graph distribution.

Elastic similarity measures are a class of similarity measures specifically designed to work with time series data. When scoring the similarity between two time series, they allow points that do not correspond in timestamps to be aligned. This can compensate for misalignments in the time axis of time series data, and for similar processes that proceed at variable and differing paces. Elastic similarity measures are widely used in machine learning tasks such as classification, clustering and outlier detection when using time series data. There is a multitude of research on various univariate elastic similarity measures. However, except for multivariate versions of the well known Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) there is a lack of work to generalise other similarity measures for multivariate cases. This paper adapts two existing strategies used in multivariate DTW, namely, Independent and Dependent DTW, to several commonly used elastic similarity measures. Using 23 datasets from the University of East Anglia (UEA) multivariate archive, for nearest neighbour classification, we demonstrate that each measure outperforms all others on at least one dataset and that there are datasets for which either the dependent versions of all measures are more accurate than their independent counterparts or vice versa. This latter finding suggests that these differences arise from a fundamental property of the data. We also show that an ensemble of such nearest neighbour classifiers is highly competitive with other state-of-the-art multivariate time series classifiers.

In this work, we formulate such structure as distinctive dependencies between mention pairs. We then propose SSAN, which incorporates these structural dependencies within the standard self-attention mechanism and throughout the overall encoding stage. Specifically, we design two alternative transformation modules inside each self-attention building block to produce attentive biases so as to adaptively regularize its attention flow. Our experiments demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed entity structure and the effectiveness of SSAN. It significantly outperforms competitive baselines, achieving new state-of-the-art results on three popular document-level relation extraction datasets. We further provide ablation and visualization to show how the entity structure guides the model for better relation extraction. Our code is publicly available.

The autonomous automotive industry is one of the largest and most conventional projects worldwide, with many technology companies effectively designing and orienting their products towards automobile safety and accuracy. These products are performing very well over the roads in developed countries. But can fail in the first minute in an underdeveloped country because there is much difference between a developed country environment and an underdeveloped country environment. The following study proposed to train these Artificial intelligence models in environment space in an underdeveloped country like Pakistan. The proposed approach on image classification uses convolutional neural networks for image classification for the model. For model pre-training German traffic signs data set was selected then fine-tuned on Pakistan's dataset. The experimental setup showed the best results and accuracy from the previously conducted experiments. In this work to increase the accuracy, more dataset was collected to increase the size of images in every class in the data set. In the future, a low number of classes are required to be further increased where more images for traffic signs are required to be collected to get more accuracy on the training of the model over traffic signs of Pakistan's most used and popular roads motorway and national highway, whose traffic signs color, size, and shapes are different from common traffic signs.
