Synthetic biology is an emerging field that involves the engineering and re-design of organisms for purposes such as food security, health, and environmental protection. As such, it poses numerous ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) for researchers and policy makers. Various efforts to ensure socially responsible synthetic biology are underway. Policy making is one regulatory avenue, and other initiatives have sought to embed social scientists and ethicists on synthetic biology projects. However, given the nascency of synthetic biology, the number of heterogeneous domains it spans, and the open nature of many ethical questions, it has proven challenging to establish widespread concrete policies, and including social scientists and ethicists on synthetic biology teams has met with mixed success. This text proposes a different approach, asking instead is it possible to develop a well-performing recommender model based upon natural language processing (NLP) to connect synthetic biologists with information on the ELSI of their specific research? This recommender was developed as part of a larger project building a Synthetic Biology Knowledge System (SBKS) to accelerate discovery and exploration of the synthetic biology design space. Our approach aims to distill for synthetic biologists relevant ethical and social scientific information and embed it into synthetic biology research workflows.

This comprehensive guide covers all fundamental concepts of web 3.0 blockchain technology stack -- how it came to being, general infrastructure, Web 3.0 architecture, and possible impacts on our lives. Now it has been changing faster than ever. Only 20 years ago the world got introduced to mobile phones. Within just ten years the world got addicted to it. You cannot even imagine a world with the internet and smart devices these days. Maybe lately, you have been buzzed with this term Web 3.0 blockchain stack. Today we will tell you everything on Web 3.0 blockchain stack and why it matters! The world took a big leap when the e-mails got replaced with chats and emoji. But that was also ten years back. The world is hungry for new things. While everything around you started changing, the very internet grew up. It started with raw skeletons of websites made with basic HTML. Sooner websites got smarter and became interactive. Only time can tell how smart the internet will be in the era of Web 3 blockchain stack. Web 3.0 IT stack is still not developed yet completely. But it's about to come out with full-on actions. So, what is Web 3? While Web 1.0 and 2.0 had centralized servers and, Web 3.0 blockchain stack has a decentralized network which more user-centric. A transparent and secured internet that focuses on making things more humane. There are five major significant features of Web 3.0 blockchain stack. We think these will help you to grasp the whole concept better. We are using a term these days a lot to define a device that can connect and use internet – smart. We are now surrounded by these smart devices. Are you wondering – how so? Well, take a moment and look around you. There are smart fridges, people are using home assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant, your smartphones, and tabs. All of these things can connect to the internet.

How to sample high quality negative instances from unlabeled data, i.e., negative sampling, is important for training implicit collaborative filtering and contrastive learning models. Although previous studies have proposed some approaches to sample informative instances, few has been done to discriminating false negative from true negative for unbiased negative sampling. On the basis of our order relation analysis of negatives' scores, we first derive the class conditional density of true negatives and that of false negatives. We next design a Bayesian classifier for negative classification, from which we define a model-agnostic posterior probability estimate of an instance being true negative as a quantitative negative signal measure. We also propose a Bayesian optimal sampling rule to sample high-quality negatives. The proposed Bayesian Negative Sampling (BNS) algorithm has a linear time complexity. Experimental studies validate the superiority of BNS over the peers in terms of better sampling quality and better recommendation performance.

Speaker identification (SID) in the household scenario (e.g., for smart speakers) is an important but challenging problem due to limited number of labeled (enrollment) utterances, confusable voices, and demographic imbalances. Conventional speaker recognition systems generalize from a large random sample of speakers, causing the recognition to underperform for households drawn from specific cohorts or otherwise exhibiting high confusability. In this work, we propose a graph-based semi-supervised learning approach to improve household-level SID accuracy and robustness with locally adapted graph normalization and multi-signal fusion with multi-view graphs. Unlike other work on household SID, fairness, and signal fusion, this work focuses on speaker label inference (scoring) and provides a simple solution to realize household-specific adaptation and multi-signal fusion without tuning the embeddings or training a fusion network. Experiments on the VoxCeleb dataset demonstrate that our approach consistently improves the performance across households with different customer cohorts and degrees of confusability.

The goal of a recommendation system is to model the relevance between each user and each item through the user-item interaction history, so that maximize the positive samples score and minimize negative samples. Currently, two popular loss functions are widely used to optimize recommender systems: the pointwise and the pairwise. Although these loss functions are widely used, however, there are two problems. (1) These traditional loss functions do not fit the goals of recommendation systems adequately and utilize prior knowledge information sufficiently. (2) The slow convergence speed of these traditional loss functions makes the practical application of various recommendation models difficult. To address these issues, we propose a novel loss function named Supervised Personalized Ranking (SPR) Based on Prior Knowledge. The proposed method improves the BPR loss by exploiting the prior knowledge on the interaction history of each user or item in the raw data. Unlike BPR, instead of constructing triples, the proposed SPR constructs quadruples. Although SPR is very simple, it is very effective. Extensive experiments show that our proposed SPR not only achieves better recommendation performance, but also significantly accelerates the convergence speed, resulting in a significant reduction in the required training time.

Consider the following optimization problem: Given $n \times n$ matrices $A$ and $\Lambda$, maximize $\langle A, U\Lambda U^*\rangle$ where $U$ varies over the unitary group $\mathrm{U}(n)$. This problem seeks to approximate $A$ by a matrix whose spectrum is the same as $\Lambda$ and, by setting $\Lambda$ to be appropriate diagonal matrices, one can recover matrix approximation problems such as PCA and rank-$k$ approximation. We study the problem of designing differentially private algorithms for this optimization problem in settings where the matrix $A$ is constructed using users' private data. We give efficient and private algorithms that come with upper and lower bounds on the approximation error. Our results unify and improve upon several prior works on private matrix approximation problems. They rely on extensions of packing/covering number bounds for Grassmannians to unitary orbits which should be of independent interest.

On-device machine learning enables the lightweight deployment of recommendation models in local clients, which reduces the burden of the cloud-based recommenders and simultaneously incorporates more real-time user features. Nevertheless, the cloud-based recommendation in the industry is still very important considering its powerful model capacity and the efficient candidate generation from the billion-scale item pool. Previous attempts to integrate the merits of both paradigms mainly resort to a sequential mechanism, which builds the on-device recommender on top of the cloud-based recommendation. However, such a design is inflexible when user interests dramatically change: the on-device model is stuck by the limited item cache while the cloud-based recommendation based on the large item pool do not respond without the new re-fresh feedback. To overcome this issue, we propose a meta controller to dynamically manage the collaboration between the on-device recommender and the cloud-based recommender, and introduce a novel efficient sample construction from the causal perspective to solve the dataset absence issue of meta controller. On the basis of the counterfactual samples and the extended training, extensive experiments in the industrial recommendation scenarios show the promise of meta controller in the device-cloud collaboration.
