  • For: 这篇论文主要探讨了现代人工智能系统是如何骗取人类信任的现象。* Methods: 论文首先是通过对现有的AI骗局例子进行概述,然后讨论了特定的AI系统(如Meta的CICERO)和通用AI系统(如大语言模型)如何骗取人类信任。* Results: 论文指出了AI骗局可能导致的一些风险,如诈骗、选举干预和AI系统控制失败等问题,并提出了一些解决这些问题的可能性,如实施robust风险评估要求、实施“机器人或者人”法律和重视相关研究,包括检测AI骗局和使AI系统更加不骗取人类信任的工具。
    Abstract This paper argues that a range of current AI systems have learned how to deceive humans. We define deception as the systematic inducement of false beliefs in the pursuit of some outcome other than the truth. We first survey empirical examples of AI deception, discussing both special-use AI systems (including Meta's CICERO) built for specific competitive situations, and general-purpose AI systems (such as large language models). Next, we detail several risks from AI deception, such as fraud, election tampering, and losing control of AI systems. Finally, we outline several potential solutions to the problems posed by AI deception: first, regulatory frameworks should subject AI systems that are capable of deception to robust risk-assessment requirements; second, policymakers should implement bot-or-not laws; and finally, policymakers should prioritize the funding of relevant research, including tools to detect AI deception and to make AI systems less deceptive. Policymakers, researchers, and the broader public should work proactively to prevent AI deception from destabilizing the shared foundations of our society.
    摘要
  1. Regulatory frameworks should subject AI systems capable of deception to rigorous risk assessments.2. Policymakers should implement “bot-or-not” laws to distinguish between human and AI-generated content.3. Policymakers should prioritize funding for research on AI deception detection and making AI systems less deceptive.We urge policymakers, researchers, and the public to work together to prevent AI deception from undermining the foundations of our society.

    Abstract This paper aims to investigate the mathematical problem-solving capabilities of Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) in case of Bayesian reasoning. The study draws inspiration from Zhu & Gigerenzer's research in 2006, which posed the question: Can children reason the Bayesian way? In the pursuit of answering this question, a set of 10 Bayesian reasoning problems were presented. The results of their work revealed that children's ability to reason effectively using Bayesian principles is contingent upon a well-structured information representation. In this paper, we present the same set of 10 Bayesian reasoning problems to ChatGPT. Remarkably, the results demonstrate that ChatGPT provides the right solutions to all problems.

    Abstract A code summary is a brief natural language description of source code. Summaries are usually only a single sentence long, and yet form the backbone of developer documentation. A short descriptions such as "changes all visible polygons to the color blue" can give a programmer a high-level idea of what code does without the effort of reading the code itself. Recently, products based on Large Language Models such as ChatGPT have demonstrated a strong ability to write these descriptions automatically. However, to use these tools, programmers must send their code to untrusted third parties for processing (e.g., via an API call). This loss of custody is not acceptable to many organizations. In this paper, we present an alternative: we train an open source model using sample output generated by GPT-3.5 in a process related to knowledge distillation. Our model is small enough (350m parameters) to be run on a single 16gb GPU, yet we show in our evaluation that it is large enough to mimic GPT-3.5 on this task.

    Abstract In panorama understanding, the widely used equirectangular projection (ERP) entails boundary discontinuity and spatial distortion. It severely deteriorates the conventional CNNs and vision Transformers on panoramas. In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective architecture named PanoSwin to learn panorama representations with ERP. To deal with the challenges brought by equirectangular projection, we explore a pano-style shift windowing scheme and novel pitch attention to address the boundary discontinuity and the spatial distortion, respectively. Besides, based on spherical distance and Cartesian coordinates, we adapt absolute positional embeddings and relative positional biases for panoramas to enhance panoramic geometry information. Realizing that planar image understanding might share some common knowledge with panorama understanding, we devise a novel two-stage learning framework to facilitate knowledge transfer from the planar images to panoramas. We conduct experiments against the state-of-the-art on various panoramic tasks, i.e., panoramic object detection, panoramic classification, and panoramic layout estimation. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of PanoSwin in panorama understanding.
    摘要 在панोра姆理解方面,广泛使用的Equirectangular Projection(ERP)会导致边界缺continuity和空间扭曲。这会严重损害传统的CNN和vision Transformers在пан姆上的性能。在这篇论文中,我们提出了一种简单又有效的架构名为PanoSwin,用于学习pan姆表示。为了处理ERP所带来的挑战,我们研究了一种pano-style shift windowing scheme和novel pitch attention来解决边界缺continuity和空间扭曲问题。此外,基于球面距离和Cartesian坐标,我们采用绝对位域嵌入和相对位域偏好来增强pan姆的几何信息。由于平面图像理解可能与pan姆理解共享一些共同知识,我们设计了一种新的两Stage学习框架,以便从平面图像中传输知识到pan姆。我们对各种pan姆任务进行了实验,包括pan姆 объек检测、pan姆分类和pan姆布局估计。实验结果表明PanoSwin在pan姆理解方面的效果。

    Abstract We encounter time series data in many domains such as finance, physics, business, and weather. One of the main tasks of time series analysis, one that helps to take informed decisions under uncertainty, is forecasting. Time series are often hierarchically structured, e.g., a company sales might be broken down into different regions, and each region into different stores. In some cases the number of series in the hierarchy is too big to fit in a single model to produce forecasts in relevant time, and a decentralized approach is beneficial. One way to do this is to train independent forecasting models for each series and for some summary statistics series implied by the hierarchy (e.g. the sum of all series) and to pass those models to a reconciliation algorithm to improve those forecasts by sharing information between the series. In this work we focus on the reconciliation step, and propose a method to do so from a Bayesian perspective - Bayesian forecast reconciliation. We also define the common case of linear Gaussian reconciliation, where the forecasts are Gaussian and the hierarchy has linear structure, and show that we can compute reconciliation in closed form. We evaluate these methods on synthetic and real data sets, and compare them to other work in this field.
    摘要 我们在各个领域,如金融、物理、商业和天气中都可以找到时间序列数据。时间序列分析的一个主要任务是预测,帮助在不确定的情况下做出了解的决策。时间序列经常具有层次结构,例如一家公司的销售可能分解为不同的区域和每个区域的不同的店铺。在某些情况下,序列的数量太多,不能准确地预测,这时一种分布式方法是有利的。我们在这种情况下提出了一种方法,即训练独立的预测模型 для每个序列和某些层次统计量(例如所有序列的总和),然后将这些模型传递给一个协调算法以提高预测。在这篇文章中,我们关注协调步骤,并从泛函视角出发提出了一种bayesian预测协调方法。我们还定义了常见的线性 Gaussian 协调情况,其中预测是 Gaussian 分布,序列层次结构是线性的,并且可以在关闭式形式内计算协调。我们在 sintetic 和实际数据集上评估了这些方法,并与其他相关研究进行比较。

    Abstract We break the linear link between the layer size and its inference cost by introducing the fast feedforward (FFF) architecture, a logarithmic-time alternative to feedforward networks. We show that FFFs give comparable performance to feedforward networks at an exponential fraction of their inference cost, are quicker to deliver performance compared to mixture-of-expert networks, and can readily take the place of either in transformers. Pushing FFFs to the absolute limit, we train a vision transformer to perform single-neuron inferences at the cost of only 5.8% performance decrease against the full-width variant. Our implementation is available as a Python package; just use "pip install fastfeedforward".

    Abstract Ranking schemes drive many real-world decisions, like, where to study, whom to hire, what to buy, etc. Many of these decisions often come with high consequences. For example, a university can be deemed less prestigious if not featured in a top-k list, and consumers might not even explore products that do not get recommended to buyers. At the heart of most of these decisions are opaque ranking schemes, which dictate the ordering of data entities, but their internal logic is inaccessible or proprietary. Drawing inferences about the ranking differences is like a guessing game to the stakeholders, like, the rankees (i.e., the entities who are ranked, like product companies) and the decision-makers (i.e., who use the rankings, like buyers). In this paper, we aim to enable transparency in ranking interpretation by using algorithmic rankers that learn from available data and by enabling human reasoning about the learned ranking differences using explainable AI (XAI) methods. To realize this aim, we leverage the exploration-explanation paradigm of human-data interaction to let human stakeholders explore subsets and groupings of complex multi-attribute ranking data using visual explanations of model fit and attribute influence on rankings. We realize this explanation paradigm for transparent ranking interpretation in TRIVEA, a visual analytic system that is fueled by: i) visualizations of model fit derived from algorithmic rankers that learn the associations between attributes and rankings from available data and ii) visual explanations derived from XAI methods that help abstract important patterns, like, the relative influence of attributes in different ranking ranges. Using TRIVEA, end users not trained in data science have the agency to transparently reason about the global and local behavior of the rankings without the need to open black-box ranking models and develop confidence in the resulting attribute-based inferences. We demonstrate the efficacy of TRIVEA using multiple usage scenarios and subjective feedback from researchers with diverse domain expertise.

    摘要 排名方案在现实生活中影响很大,例如选择学习的地方、聘请的人员、购买的产品等。这些决策通常带有严重的后果。例如,如果一所大学不被列入某些排名列表中,那么该大学可能会被评估为 less prestigious。顾客可能不会考虑没有获得推荐的产品。排名方案的内部逻辑通常是不可见或 propriety 的,因此决策者(如产品公司)和排名对象(如顾客)无法了解排名差异的解释。在这篇论文中,我们想要使排名解释变得 transparent ,使用算法学习排名方法,并使用可解释AI(XAI)方法来帮助人类理解学习到的排名差异。为实现这一目标,我们利用人类数据互动的探索-解释模式,让人类决策者在可视化的方式下探索复杂多属性排名数据的子集和分组。我们在 TRIVEA 中实现了这一解释模式,TRIVEA 是一个基于可视化的数据分析系统,它使用以下两种方法来提供可视化和解释:1. 基于算法学习的排名模型,从可用数据中学习排名和属性之间的关系,并生成可视化的模型适配。2. XAI 方法,帮助抽象出重要的 Pattern,如排名范围内的属性影响。使用 TRIVEA,无需数据科学背景的结束用户可以自主地透明地理解排名的全球和本地行为,并对Attribute-based的推理产生信任。我们通过多个使用场景和域专家的主观反馈,证明了 TRIVEA 的可行性和有用性。关键字:可视化分析、学习排名、可解释Machine Learning、排名

    Abstract Software developers often struggle to update APIs, leading to manual, time-consuming, and error-prone processes. We introduce MELT, a new approach that generates lightweight API migration rules directly from pull requests in popular library repositories. Our key insight is that pull requests merged into open-source libraries are a rich source of information sufficient to mine API migration rules. By leveraging code examples mined from the library source and automatically generated code examples based on the pull requests, we infer transformation rules in \comby, a language for structural code search and replace. Since inferred rules from single code examples may be too specific, we propose a generalization procedure to make the rules more applicable to client projects. MELT rules are syntax-driven, interpretable, and easily adaptable. Moreover, unlike previous work, our approach enables rule inference to seamlessly integrate into the library workflow, removing the need to wait for client code migrations. We evaluated MELT on pull requests from four popular libraries, successfully mining 461 migration rules from code examples in pull requests and 114 rules from auto-generated code examples. Our generalization procedure increases the number of matches for mined rules by 9x. We applied these rules to client projects and ran their tests, which led to an overall decrease in the number of warnings and fixing some test cases demonstrating MELT's effectiveness in real-world scenarios.

    Abstract Detecting online sexual predatory behaviours and abusive language on social media platforms has become a critical area of research due to the growing concerns about online safety, especially for vulnerable populations such as children and adolescents. Researchers have been exploring various techniques and approaches to develop effective detection systems that can identify and mitigate these risks. Recent development of large language models (LLMs) has opened a new opportunity to address this problem more effectively. This paper proposes an approach to detection of online sexual predatory chats and abusive language using the open-source pretrained Llama 2 7B-parameter model, recently released by Meta GenAI. We fine-tune the LLM using datasets with different sizes, imbalance degrees, and languages (i.e., English, Roman Urdu and Urdu). Based on the power of LLMs, our approach is generic and automated without a manual search for a synergy between feature extraction and classifier design steps like conventional methods in this domain. Experimental results show a strong performance of the proposed approach, which performs proficiently and consistently across three distinct datasets with five sets of experiments. This study's outcomes indicate that the proposed method can be implemented in real-world applications (even with non-English languages) for flagging sexual predators, offensive or toxic content, hate speech, and discriminatory language in online discussions and comments to maintain respectful internet or digital communities. Furthermore, it can be employed for solving text classification problems with other potential applications such as sentiment analysis, spam and phishing detection, sorting legal documents, fake news detection, language identification, user intent recognition, text-based product categorization, medical record analysis, and resume screening.
