Online bipartite matching is a fundamental problem in online algorithms. The goal is to match two sets of vertices to maximize the sum of the edge weights, where for one set of vertices, each vertex and its corresponding edge weights appear in a sequence. Currently, in the practical recommendation system or search engine, the weights are decided by the inner product between the deep representation of a user and the deep representation of an item. The standard online matching needs to pay $nd$ time to linear scan all the $n$ items, computing weight (assuming each representation vector has length $d$), and then decide the matching based on the weights. However, in reality, the $n$ could be very large, e.g. in online e-commerce platforms. Thus, improving the time of computing weights is a problem of practical significance. In this work, we provide the theoretical foundation for computing the weights approximately. We show that, with our proposed randomized data structures, the weights can be computed in sublinear time while still preserving the competitive ratio of the matching algorithm.

Diarization partitions an audio stream into segments based on the voices of the speakers. Real-time diarization systems that include an enrollment step should limit enrollment training samples to reduce user interaction time. Although training on a small number of samples yields poor performance, we show that the accuracy can be improved dramatically using a chronological self-training approach. We studied the tradeoff between training time and classification performance and found that 1 second is sufficient to reach over 95% accuracy. We evaluated on 700 audio conversation files of about 10 minutes each from 6 different languages and demonstrated average diarization error rates as low as 10%.

Type 2 Diabetes is one of the most major and fatal diseases known to human beings, where thousands of people are subjected to the onset of Type 2 Diabetes every year. However, the diagnosis and prevention of Type 2 Diabetes are relatively costly in today's scenario; hence, the use of machine learning and deep learning techniques is gaining momentum for predicting the onset of Type 2 Diabetes. This research aims to increase the accuracy and Area Under the Curve (AUC) metric while improving the processing time for predicting the onset of Type 2 Diabetes. The proposed system consists of a deep learning technique that uses the Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm along with the Radial Base Function (RBF) along with the Long Short-term Memory Layer (LSTM) for prediction of onset of Type 2 Diabetes. The proposed solution provides an average accuracy of 86.31 % and an average AUC value of 0.8270 or 82.70 %, with an improvement of 3.8 milliseconds in the processing. Radial Base Function (RBF) kernel and the LSTM layer enhance the prediction accuracy and AUC metric from the current industry standard, making it more feasible for practical use without compromising the processing time.

Estimating the importance of variables is an essential task in modern machine learning. This help to evaluate the goodness of a feature in a given model. Several techniques for estimating the importance of variables have been developed during the last decade. In this paper, we proposed a computational and theoretical exploration of the emerging methods of variable importance estimation, namely: Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO), Support Vector Machine (SVM), the Predictive Error Function (PERF), Random Forest (RF), and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBOOST) that were tested on different kinds of real-life and simulated data. All these methods can handle both regression and classification tasks seamlessly but all fail when it comes to dealing with data containing missing values. The implementation has shown that PERF has the best performance in the case of highly correlated data closely followed by RF. PERF and XGBOOST are "data-hungry" methods, they had the worst performance on small data sizes but they are the fastest when it comes to the execution time. SVM is the most appropriate when many redundant features are in the dataset. A surplus with the PERF is its natural cut-off at zero helping to separate positive and negative scores with all positive scores indicating essential and significant features while the negatives score indicates useless features. RF and LASSO are very versatile in a way that they can be used in almost all situations despite they are not giving the best results.

When building machine learning models or algorithms, developers should adhere to the principle of interpretability so that they and their intended users know exactly how the inputs and inner workings achieve outputs. Interpretable AI is a book written by Ajay Thampi, a machine learning engineer at Meta, and its second chapter explains the white-box model approach to machine learning as well as examples of white-box models. These models are interpretable, as they feature easy-to-understand algorithms that show how data inputs achieve outputs or target variables. Thampi walks readers through three types of white-box models in this chapter and how they are applied: linear regression, generalized additive models (GAMs) and decision trees. Given the term regression in machine learning refers to models and algorithms taking data and learning relationships within that data to make predictions, the premise of a linear regression model is that a target prediction variable can be determined as a linear combination of every input variable.

Over the past year or so, I've been using JAX extensively for my research, and I've also been encouraging other astronomers to give it a try. In particular, I've been using JAX as the computation engine for probabilistic inference tasks. There's more to it, but one way that I like to think about JAX is as NumPy with just-in-time compilation and automatic differentiation. The just-in-time compilation features of JAX can be used to speed up you NumPy computations by removing some Python overhead and by executing it on your GPU. Then, automatic differentiation can be used to efficiently compute the derivatives of your code with respect to its input parameters.

Knowing when to trust a model's predictions is not always an easy challenge for professionals who use machine-learning models to aid in decision-making, especially since these models are frequently so complicated that their inner workings remain a mystery. Selective regression is a method in which the model calculates its confidence level for each prediction and rejects predictions if its confidence is too low. After then, a person can look over those situations, gather further data, and manually decide on each one. While researchers are working on new models, regulators are trying to set a standard in the usage of artificial intelligence. Two months ago we discussed the EU AI Act and now the UK prepares the AI rulebook.

Reservoir simulations for petroleum fields and seismic imaging are known as the most demanding workloads for high-performance computing (HPC) in the oil and gas (O&G) industry. The optimization of the simulator numerical parameters plays a vital role as it could save considerable computational efforts. State-of-the-art optimization techniques are based on running numerous simulations, specific for that purpose, to find good parameter candidates. However, using such an approach is highly costly in terms of time and computing resources. This work presents TunaOil, a new methodology to enhance the search for optimal numerical parameters of reservoir flow simulations using a performance model. In the O&G industry, it is common to use ensembles of models in different workflows to reduce the uncertainty associated with forecasting O&G production. We leverage the runs of those ensembles in such workflows to extract information from each simulation and optimize the numerical parameters in their subsequent runs. To validate the methodology, we implemented it in a history matching (HM) process that uses a Kalman filter algorithm to adjust an ensemble of reservoir models to match the observed data from the real field. We mine past execution logs from many simulations with different numerical configurations and build a machine learning model based on extracted features from the data. These features include properties of the reservoir models themselves, such as the number of active cells, to statistics of the simulation's behavior, such as the number of iterations of the linear solver. A sampling technique is used to query the oracle to find the numerical parameters that can reduce the elapsed time without significantly impacting the quality of the results. Our experiments show that the predictions can improve the overall HM workflow runtime on average by 31%.

Due to the high cost and reliability of sensors, the designers of a pump reduce the needed number of sensors for the estimation of the feasible operating point as much as possible. The major challenge to obtain a good estimation is the low amount of data available. Using this amount of data, the performance of the estimation method is not enough to satisfy the client requests. To solve this problem of scarcity of data, getting high quality data is important to obtain a good estimation. Based on these considerations, we develop an active learning framework for estimating the operating point of a Modular Multi Pump used in energy field. In particular we focus on the estimation of the surge distance. We apply Active learning to estimate the surge distance with minimal dataset. Results report that active learning is a valuable technique also for real application.
