An Embarrassingly Simple Graph Heuristic Reveals Shortcut-Solvable Benchmarks for Sequential Recommendation
Sequential recommendation is a central task in recommender systems, and recent research has increasingly shifted toward generative recommenders that leverage both sequential patterns and semantic item information. However, these methods are often evaluated on a small set of widely used benchmarks. This raises a natural…
When silence is safer: a review and decision-theoretic framework for LLM abstention in healthcare
Large language models (LLMs) are designed to generate answers to user prompts, which often drives them to respond even when uncertainty is high, information is incomplete, or a refusal would be more appropriate. In healthcare, this tendency can be dangerous: confidently stated but inaccurate medical…
Advancing regulatory variant effect prediction with AlphaGenome
Deep learning models that predict functional genomic measurements from DNA sequences are powerful tools for deciphering the genetic regulatory code. Existing methods involve a trade-off between input sequence length and prediction resolution, thereby limiting their modality scope and performance1,2,3,4,5. We present AlphaGenome, a unified DNA…
Sequence Feature Extraction for Malware Family Analysis via Graph Neural Network
Malicious software (malware) causes much harm to our devices and life. We are eager to understand the malware behavior and the threat it made. Most of the record files of malware are variable length and text-based files with time stamps, such as event log data…

Trillions of possible qubit registries, gate combinations and moment sequences, ready to be adapted into your ML flow. Here I demonstrate climatechange, jameswebbspacetelescope and microbiology vision applications… [Thus far, a circuit with 16-Qubits and a gate sequence…
Federated Learning: Issues in Medical Application
In this presentation, the current issues to make federated learning flawlessly useful in the real world will be briefly overviewed. They are related to data/system heterogeneity, client management, traceability, and security. Also, we introduce the modularized federated learning framework, we currently develop, to experiment various…
CNN Explainer: Learning Convolutional Neural Networks with Interactive Visualization
CNN Explainer tightly integrates a model overview that summarizes a CNN’s structure, and on-demand, dynamic visual explanation views that help users understand the underlying components of CNNs. Through smooth transitions across levels of abstraction, our tool enables users to inspect the interplay between low-level mathematical…
Between words and characters: A Brief History of Open-Vocabulary Modeling and Tokenization in NLP
In this survey, we connect several lines of work from the pre-neural and neural era, by showing how hybrid approaches of words and characters as well as subword-based approaches based on learned segmentation have been proposed and evaluated. We conclude that there is and…
Scientific Visualization: Python + Matplotlib
The Python scientific visualisation landscape is huge. It is composed of a myriad of tools, ranging from the most versatile and widely used down to the more specialised and confidential. Some of these tools are community based while others are developed by companies. Some are…
Introduction to Datascience: Learn Julia Programming, Math & Datascience from Scratch
I was emboldened to write this book after my video series called Data Science With Julia got some traction. That too after a tweet about Decision Tree was liked by Julia Language itself. So I thought why not give it more?
Ethics-based auditing of automated decision-making systems: intervention points and policy implications
Organisations increasingly use automated decision-making systems (ADMS) to inform decisions that affect humans and their environment. While the use of ADMS can improve the accuracy and efficiency of decision-making processes, it is also coupled with ethical challenges. Unfortunately, the governance mechanisms currently used to oversee…
AI and the Future of Skills, Volume 1
The OECD launched the Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Skills project to develop a programme that could assess the capabilities of AI and robotics and their impact on education and work. This report represents the first step in developing the methodological approach of the…
