Concept-Guided Interpretability via Neural Chunking
Neural networks are often described as black boxes, reflecting the significant challenge of understanding their internal workings and interactions. We propose a different perspective that challenges the prevailing view: rather than being inscrutable, neural networks exhibit patterns in their raw population activity that mirror regularities in the training data. We refer to this as the \textit{Reflection Hypothesis} and provide evidence for this phenomenon in both simple recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and complex large language models (LLMs). Building on this insight, we propose to leverage cognitively-inspired methods of \textit{chunking} to segment high-dimensional neural population dynamics into interpretable units that reflect underlying concepts. We propose three methods to extract these emerging entities, complementing each other based on label availability and neural data dimensionality.
Our verdict on Luminous by Silvia Park: a fascinating take on robots
The New Scientist Book Club read Silvia Park's near-future sci-fi novel Luminous in May, and had lots of good things to say (along with a few complaints) The New Scientist Book Club read Silvia Park's Luminous in May The New Scientist Book Club had quite a change of science-fictional pace in May, moving from the wilds of space in our April read, Kim Stanley Robinson's, to a much closer-to-home future in Silvia Park's . Like another of our reads this year, Sierra Greer's, this imagines a world where robots are integrated into society - and explores how we might deal with this on many different levels: emotionally, spiritually, practically, sexually. Set in a reunified Korea, it's a compelling blend of three storylines: a police procedural, in which detective Jun is out to discover what might have become of a robot girl who has gone missing; a ragtag bunch of kids on an adventure, in which Ruijie and her schoolmates find an abandoned robot boy in a scrapyard; and a tale of a dysfunctional family. Jun and his younger sister Morgan grew up with a third sibling, a robot who disappeared when they were young, fracturing their family. Author Silvia Park: 'No one is your enemy, not even death' Silvia Park, author of the May read for the New Scientist Book Club, 'Luminous' on emotional artificial intelligence, our inevitable love for robots and coping with grief.
Supplementary materials AOn the Definition of LOTr,c
Let (X,dX) and (Y,dY) two nonempty compact Polish spaces, µ 2M +1 (X), 2M +1 (Y) two probability measures on these spaces and c: X Y! R+ a nonnegative and continuous function. As X and Y are compact, r(µ,) is tight, then Prokhorov's theorem applies and the closure of r(µ,) is sequentially compact. Let us now show that r(µ,) is closed. Indeed, Let ( n)n 0 a sequence of r(µ,) converging towards . In addition as ( n)n 0 live in the simplex r, we can also extract a sub-sequence, such that n! 2 r.

Paraphrasing Complex Network: Network Compression via Factor Transfer
Many researchers have sought ways of model compression to reduce the size of a deep neural network (DNN) with minimal performance degradation in order to use DNNs in embedded systems. Among the model compression methods, a method called knowledge transfer is to train a student network with a stronger teacher network. In this paper, we propose a novel knowledge transfer method which uses convolutional operations to paraphrase teacher's knowledge and to translate it for the student. This is done by two convolutional modules, which are called a paraphraser and a translator. The paraphraser is trained in an unsupervised manner to extract the teacher factors which are defined as paraphrased information of the teacher network. The translator located at the student network extracts the student factors and helps to translate the teacher factors by mimicking them. We observed that our student network trained with the proposed factor transfer method outperforms the ones trained with conventional knowledge transfer methods.
FastSpeech: Fast, Robust and Controllable Text to Speech
Yi Ren, Yangjun Ruan, Xu Tan, Tao Qin, Sheng Zhao, Zhou Zhao, Tie-Yan Liu
Prominent methods (e.g., Tacotron 2)usuallyfirst generate mel-spectrogram from text, and then synthesize speech from themel-spectrogram using vocoder such as WaveNet. Compared with traditionalconcatenative and statistical parametric approaches, neural network based end-to-end models suffer from slow inference speed, and the synthesized speech isusually not robust (i.e., some words are skipped or repeated) and lack of con-trollability (voice speed or prosody control).
