While extreme-scale language models have demonstrated exceptional performance on a variety of language tasks, the degree of control over these language models through pure prompting can often be limited. Directly fine-tuning such language…

This paper presents a state-of-the-art model for transcribing speech in any language into the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). Transcription of spoken languages into IPA is an essential yet time-consuming process in language…

Integrating high-level context information with low-level details is of central importance in semantic segmentation. Towards this end, most existing segmentation models apply bilinear up-sampling and convolutions to feature maps of…

Instruction Fine-Tuning enhances pre-trained language models from basic next-word prediction to complex instruction-following. However, existing One-off Instruction Fine-Tuning (One-off IFT) method, applied on a diverse instruction, may not…

Federated learning aggregates model updates from distributed clients, but standard first order methods such as FedAvg apply the same scalar weight to all parameters from each client. Under non-IID data, these uniformly weighted updates can…

In this brief, we discuss the implementation of a third order semi-implicit differentiator as a complement of the recent work by the author that proposes an interconnected semi-implicit Euler double differentiators algorithm through Taylor…

The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is indispensable in language learning and understanding, aiding users in accurate pronunciation and comprehension. Additionally, it plays a pivotal role in speech therapy, linguistic research,…

Rational approximation of fractional order (FO) differ-integrators via Continued Fraction Expansion (CFE) is a well known technique. In this paper, the nominal structures of various generating functions are optimized using Genetic Algorithm…

In this work, we investigate the application of Taylor expansions in reinforcement learning. In particular, we propose Taylor expansion policy optimization, a policy optimization formalism that generalizes prior work (e.g., TRPO) as a…

This paper is devoted to a new first order Taylor-like formula where the corresponding remainder is strongly reduced in comparison with the usual one which appears in the classical Taylor's formula. To derive this new formula, we introduce…

Iterative Proportional Fitting (IPF), combined with EM, is commonly used as an algorithm for likelihood maximization in undirected graphical models. In this paper, we present two iterative algorithms that generalize upon IPF. The first one…

In this paper, we propose a new and simple approach to the approximation algorithms that are modified and improved from our published results. The computational and graphical examples are presented with the aid of Maple procedures.

Transformer models have established new benchmarks in natural language processing; however, their increasing depth results in substantial growth in parameter counts. While existing recurrent transformer methods address this issue by…

Non-autoregressive models greatly improve decoding speed over typical sequence-to-sequence models, but suffer from degraded performance. Infilling and iterative refinement models make up some of this gap by editing the outputs of a…

Weighted finite automata (WFA) are often used to represent probabilistic models, such as $n$-gram language models, since they are efficient for recognition tasks in time and space. The probabilistic source to be represented as a WFA,…

Nonlinear expressions are often approximated by piecewise affine (PWA) functions to simplify analysis or reduce computational costs. To reduce computational complexity, multivariate functions can be represented as compositions of functions…

Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) methods, such as LoRA, reduce adaptation cost by injecting low-rank updates into pretrained weights. However, LoRA's down-projection is randomly initialized and data-agnostic, discarding potentially…

While existing end-to-end beamformers achieve impressive performance in various front-end speech processing tasks, they usually encapsulate the whole process into a black box and thus lack adequate interpretability. As an attempt to fill…

Mixed integer linear programming (MILP) has seen a sharp rise in use for engineering optimization applications in recent years. Even for initially non-linear problems, it is often the method of choice. Then, the non-linear functions have to…

We present an analytic approximation model for non-rigid point set registration, grounded in the multivariate Taylor expansion of vector-valued functions. By exploiting the algebraic structure of Taylor expansions, we construct a structured…
