Also, Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) are pretty standard in many statistical applications and provide a generalization to many of the most commonly applied statistical procedures. However, in most regression tree methods, there is only one theoretical model associated for prediction in the final nodes, like multiple linear regression, logistic regressions, polynomial models, Poisson models, among others. We, therefore, propose a new tree method in which we estimate a GLM in each leaf node of the estimated tree including variable selection, new hyperparameters optimization, and tree pruning. Our method, called Generalized linear tree (GLT), has shown to be competitive compared to other well-known regression methods in real datasets, with the advantages and estimation flexibility provided by GLMs.","PeriodicalId":196347,"journal":{"name":"LatinX in AI at International Conference on Machine Learning 2021","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122134934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the transport problem over networks, we start with a distribution over the set of nodes that needs to be “transported” to a target distribution accounting for the network topology. We exploit the specific structure of the problem, characterized by the computation of implicit gradient steps, and formulate an approach based on discretized flows. As a result, our proposed algorithm relies on the iterative computation of constrained Wasserstein barycenters. We show how the proposed method finds approximate solutions to the network transport problem, taking into account the topology of the network, the capacity of the communication channels, and the capacity of the individual nodes.","PeriodicalId":196347,"journal":{"name":"LatinX in AI at International Conference on Machine Learning 2021","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123827718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Motivated by the success of disentangled representation learning in the field of computer vision, which aims to obtain explanatory factors of the data representations, we explored the recent DeBERTa model (Decoding-enhanced BERT with Disentangled Attention) to disentangle the syntactic and semantics features from a BERT architecture. Experimental results show that incorporating disentangled attention and a simple fine-tuning strategy for downstream tasks outperforms state-of-the-art models in ABSA’s benchmark datasets.","PeriodicalId":196347,"journal":{"name":"LatinX in AI at International Conference on Machine Learning 2021","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126974093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, identifying various plant species is not an easy task, even for specialists. Methods of computer vision for identifying plant species are interesting solutions for these difficulties. This work aims to analyze the efficiency of texture feature extraction methods applied in the identification of plant species by means of images of its leaves. For this, different texture descriptors were applied in three different databases. The obtained results indicate that local phase quantization (LPQ)-based methods achieve great efficiency and robustness. Additionally, the combination of LPQ-based methods with a segmentation based fractal texture analysis (SFTA) has increased the correct classification rate in all databases.","PeriodicalId":196347,"journal":{"name":"LatinX in AI at International Conference on Machine Learning 2021","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132006850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Early detection of significant variation can be crucial for identifying machinery degradation or issues in the process itself. We use non-linearity as it is not affected by regular process changes and autocorrelation, thus avoiding false positives in the neural network caused by changes in demand and the presence of control systems. The developed model is able to predict up to 30min of future non-linearity with loss ≤ 0.5. Furthermore, the proposed model is flexible enough to present itself as a starting point for future work in the field of fault detection in other areas.","PeriodicalId":196347,"journal":{"name":"LatinX in AI at International Conference on Machine Learning 2021","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123999848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
