BERT is incapable of processing long texts due to its quadratically increasing memory andtimeconsumption. Themost natural waystoaddress thisproblem, such as slicing the text by a sliding window or simplifying transformers, suffer from insufficient long-range attentions orneed customized CUDAkernels.

The application of TensorFlow pre-trained models in deep learning is explored, with an emphasis on practical guidance for tasks such as image classification and object detection. The study covers modern architectures, including ResNet, MobileNet, and EfficientNet, and demonstrates the effectiveness of transfer learning through real-world examples and experiments. A comparison of linear probing and model fine-tuning is presented, supplemented by visualizations using techniques like PCA, t-SNE, and UMAP, allowing for an intuitive understanding of the impact of these approaches. The work provides complete example code and step-by-step instructions, offering valuable insights for both beginners and advanced users. By integrating theoretical concepts with hands-on practice, the paper equips readers with the tools necessary to address deep learning challenges efficiently.

Increased availability of open-source software repositories and recent advances in code analysis using large language models (LLMs) has triggered a wave of new work to automate software engineering tasks that were previously very difficult to automate. In this paper, we investigate a recent line of work that hypothesises that comparing the probability of code generated by LLMs with the probability the current code would have had can indicate potential quality problems. We investigate the association between the cross-entropy of code generated by ten different models (based on GPT2 and Llama2) and the following quality aspects: readability, understandability, complexity, modularisation, and overall maintainability assessed by experts and available in an benchmark dataset. Our results show that, controlling for the number of logical lines of codes (LLOC), cross-entropy computed by LLMs is indeed a predictor of maintainability on a class level (the higher the cross-entropy the lower the maintainability). However, this relation is reversed when one does not control for LLOC (e.g., comparing small classes with longer ones). Furthermore, while the complexity of LLMs affects the range of cross-entropy (smaller models tend to have a wider range of cross-entropy), this plays a significant role in predicting maintainability aspects. Our study limits itself on ten different pretrained models (based on GPT2 and Llama2) and on maintainability aspects collected by Schnappinger et al. When controlling for logical lines of code (LLOC), cross-entropy is a predictor of maintainability. However, while related work has shown the potential usefulness of cross-entropy at the level of tokens or short sequences, at the class level this criterion alone may prove insufficient to predict maintainability and further research is needed to make best use of this information in practice.

The R\'{e}nyi cross-entropy measure between two distributions, a generalization of the Shannon cross-entropy, was recently used as a loss function for the improved design of deep learning generative adversarial networks. In this work, we examine the properties of this measure and derive closed-form expressions for it when one of the distributions is fixed and when both distributions belong to the exponential family. We also analytically determine a formula for the cross-entropy rate for stationary Gaussian processes and for finite-alphabet Markov sources.

AI: The effort to automate intellectual tasks normally performed by humans. AI encompasses machine learning and deep learning. ML: In ML, humans input data as well as answers expected from data, and outcome the rules. These rules can be applied to new data to produce original answers. A machine-learning system is trained rather than explicitly programmed.

Training a deep neural model for semantic segmentation requires collecting a large amount of pixel-level labeled data. To alleviate the data scarcity problem presented in the real world, one could utilize synthetic data whose label is easy to obtain. Previous work has shown that the performance of a semantic segmentation model can be improved by training jointly with real and synthetic examples with a proper weighting on the synthetic data. Such weighting was learned by a heuristic to maximize the similarity between synthetic and real examples. In our work, we instead learn a pixel-level weighting of the synthetic data by meta-learning, i.e., the learning of weighting should only be minimizing the loss on the target task. We achieve this by gradient-on-gradient technique to propagate the target loss back into the parameters of the weighting model. The experiments show that our method with only one single meta module can outperform a complicated combination of an adversarial feature alignment, a reconstruction loss, plus a hierarchical heuristic weighting at pixel, region and image levels.

Spiking neural network (SNN), compared with depth neural network (DNN), has faster processing speed, lower energy consumption and more biological interpretability, which is expected to approach Strong AI. Reinforcement learning is similar to learning in biology. It is of great significance to study the combination of SNN and RL. We propose the reinforcement learning method of spike distillation network (SDN) with STBP. This method uses distillation to effectively avoid the weakness of STBP, which can achieve SOTA performance in classification, and can obtain a smaller, faster convergence and lower power consumption SNN reinforcement learning model. Experiments show that our method can converge faster than traditional SNN reinforcement learning and DNN reinforcement learning methods, about 1000 epochs faster, and obtain SNN 200 times smaller than DNN. We also deploy SDN to the PKU nc64c chip, which proves that SDN has lower power consumption than DNN, and the power consumption of SDN is more than 600 times lower than DNN on large-scale devices. SDN provides a new way of SNN reinforcement learning, and can achieve SOTA performance, which proves the possibility of further development of SNN reinforcement learning.

Audio-Video Emotion Recognition is now attacked with Deep Neural Network modeling tools. In published papers, as a rule, the authors show only cases of the superiority in multi-modality over audio-only or video-only modality. However, there are cases superiority in uni-modality can be found. In our research, we hypothesize that for fuzzy categories of emotional events, the within-modal and inter-modal noisy information represented indirectly in the parameters of the modeling neural network impedes better performance in the existing late fusion and end-to-end multi-modal network training strategies. To take advantage and overcome the deficiencies in both solutions, we define a Multi-modal Residual Perceptron Network which performs end-to-end learning from multi-modal network branches, generalizing better multi-modal feature representation. For the proposed Multi-modal Residual Perceptron Network and the novel time augmentation for streaming digital movies, the state-of-art average recognition rate was improved to 91.4% for The Ryerson Audio-Visual Database of Emotional Speech and Song dataset and to 83.15% for Crowd-sourced Emotional multi-modal Actors dataset. Moreover, the Multi-modal Residual Perceptron Network concept shows its potential for multi-modal applications dealing with signal sources not only of optical and acoustical types.

Now we will compile the model using optimizer as stochastic gradient descent, loss as cross-entropy and metrics to measure the performance would be accuracy. After compiling we will train the model and check the performance on validation data. We are taking a batch size of 64 and epochs to be 10.
