REx: Data-Free Residual Quantization Error Expansion

Neural Information Processing Systems

Deep neural networks (DNNs) are ubiquitous in computer vision and natural language processing, but suffer from high inference cost. This problem can be addressed by quantization, which consists in converting floating point operations into a lower bit-width format. With the growing concerns on privacy rights, we focus our efforts on data-free methods. However, such techniques suffer from their lack of adaptability to the target devices, as a hardware typically only supports specific bit widths. Thus, to adapt to a variety of devices, a quantization method shall be flexible enough to find good accuracy v.s.

Science Biology This tiny T. rex is actually a new species Nanotyrannus settles a big and'acrimonius' paleontology debate. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. For decades, paleontologists have argued about size. Specifically, whether or not certain fossils found in Montana belonged to a young or a completely separate, smaller species. Researchers at North Carolina State University and Ohio University now say they can settle the debate.





Temporal Relation Extraction in Clinical Texts: A Span-based Graph Transformer Approach

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Temporal information extraction from unstructured text is essential for contextualizing events and deriving actionable insights, particularly in the medical domain. We address the task of extracting clinical events and their temporal relations using the well-studied I2B2 2012 Temporal Relations Challenge corpus. This task is inherently challenging due to complex clinical language, long documents, and sparse annotations. We introduce GRAPHTREX, a novel method integrating span-based entity-relation extraction, clinical large pre-trained language models (LPLMs), and Heterogeneous Graph Transformers (HGT) to capture local and global dependencies. Our HGT component facilitates information propagation across the document through innovative global landmarks that bridge distant entities. Our method improves the state-of-the-art with 5.5% improvement in the tempeval $F_1$ score over the previous best and up to 8.9% improvement on long-range relations, which presents a formidable challenge. This work not only advances temporal information extraction but also lays the groundwork for improved diagnostic and prognostic models through enhanced temporal reasoning.

Causal Explanations for Image Classifiers

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Existing algorithms for explaining the output of image classifiers use different definitions of explanations and a variety of techniques to extract them. However, none of the existing tools use a principled approach based on formal definitions of causes and explanations for the explanation extraction. In this paper we present a novel black-box approach to computing explanations grounded in the theory of actual causality. We prove relevant theoretical results and present an algorithm for computing approximate explanations based on these definitions. We prove termination of our algorithm and discuss its complexity and the amount of approximation compared to the precise definition. We implemented the framework in a tool rex and we present experimental results and a comparison with state-of-the-art tools. We demonstrate that rex is the most efficient tool and produces the smallest explanations, in addition to outperforming other black-box tools on standard quality measures.
