Beyond Mahalanobis Distance for Textual OOD Detection
Warning : this paper contains content that may 001 be offensive or upsetting. 002 Detecting hateful, toxic, and otherwise racist 003 or sexi… (voir plus)st language in user-generated online con-004 tents has become an increasingly important task 005 in recent years. Indeed, the anonymity, the 006 transience, the size of messages, and the dif-007 ficulty of management, facilitate the diffusion 008 of racist or hateful messages across the Inter-009 net. The critical influence of this cyber-racism 010 is no longer limited to social media, but also 011 has a significant effect on our society : corpo-012 rate business operation, users’ health, crimes, 013 etc. Traditional racist speech reporting chan-014 nels have proven inadequate due to the enor-015 mous explosion of information, so there is an 016 urgent need for a method to automatically and 017 promptly detect texts with racial discrimination. 018 We propose in this work, a machine learning-019 based approach to enable automatic detection 020 of racist text content over the internet. State-of-021 the-art machine learning models that are able 022 to grasp language structures are adapted in this 023 study. Our main contribution include 1) a large 024 scale racial discrimination data set collected 025 from three distinct sources and annotated ac-026 cording to a guideline developed by specialists, 027 2) a set of machine learning models with vari-028 ous architectures for racial discrimination de-029 tection, and 3) a web-browser-based software 030 that assist users to debias their texts when us-031 ing the internet. All these resources are made 032 publicly available.
Bisimulation metrics and norms for real-weighted automata
. Column generation is a popular method to solve large-scale linear programs with an exponential number of variables. Several important appl… (voir plus)ications, such as the vehicle routing problem, rely on this technique in order to be solved. However, in practice, column generation methods suffer from slow convergence (i.e. they require too many iterations). Stabilization techniques, which carefully select the column to add at each iteration, are commonly used to improve convergence. In this work, we frame the problem of selecting which columns to add as one of sequential decision-making. We propose a neural column generation architecture that iteratively selects columns to be added to the problem. Our architecture is inspired by stabilization techniques and predicts the optimal duals, which are then used to select the columns to add. We proposed architecture, trained using imitation learning. Exemplified on the Vehicle Routing Problem, we show that several machine learning models yield good performance in predicting the optimal duals and that our architecture outperforms them as well as a popular state-of-the-art stabilization technique. Further, the architecture approach can generalize to instances larger than those observed during training.
Compositional Attention: Disentangling Search and Retrieval
Multi-head, key-value attention is the backbone of transformer-like model architectures which have proven to be widely successful in recent … (voir plus)years. This attention mechanism uses multiple parallel key-value attention blocks (called heads), each performing two fundamental computations: (1) search - selection of a relevant entity from a set via query-key interaction, and (2) retrieval - extraction of relevant features from the selected entity via a value matrix. Standard attention heads learn a rigid mapping between search and retrieval. In this work, we first highlight how this static nature of the pairing can potentially: (a) lead to learning of redundant parameters in certain tasks, and (b) hinder generalization. To alleviate this problem, we propose a novel attention mechanism, called Compositional Attention, that replaces the standard head structure. The proposed mechanism disentangles search and retrieval and composes them in a dynamic, flexible and context-dependent manner. Through a series of numerical experiments, we show that it outperforms standard multi-head attention on a variety of tasks, including some out-of-distribution settings. Through our qualitative analysis, we demonstrate that Compositional Attention leads to dynamic specialization based on the type of retrieval needed. Our proposed mechanism generalizes multi-head attention, allows independent scaling of search and retrieval and is easy to implement in a variety of established network architectures.
