The flexible brain computation is crucial for survival and is of great interest in neuroscience. The nematode C. elegans modulates its navigation behavior depending on the association of odor butanone with food (appetitive training) or starvation (aversive training), and will then climb up the butanone gradient or ignore it, respectively. However, the exact change in navigation strategy in response to learning is still unknown. Here we study the learned odor navigation in worms by combining precise experimental measurement and a novel descriptive model of navigation. Our model consists of two known navigation strategies in worms: biased random walk and weathervaning. We infer weights on these strategies by applying the model to worm navigation trajectories and the exact odor concentration it experiences. Compared to naive worms, appetitive trained worms up-regulate the biased random walk strategy, and aversive trained worms down-regulate the weathervaning strategy. The statistical model provides prediction with $>90 %$ accuracy of the past training condition given navigation data, which outperforms the classical chemotaxis metric. We find that the behavioral variability is altered by learning, such that worms are less variable after training compared to naive ones. The model further predicts the learning-dependent response and variability under optogenetic perturbation of the olfactory neuron AWC$^mathrm{ON}$. Lastly, we investigate neural circuits downstream from AWC$^mathrm{ON}$ that are differentially recruited for learned odor-guided navigation. Together, we provide a new paradigm to quantify flexible navigation algorithms and pinpoint the underlying neural substrates.","PeriodicalId":496270,"journal":{"name":"arXiv (Cornell University)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136352471","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 this work, we focus on investigating the advantages and bottlenecks of LLM-based approaches in addressing this problem. To address the above concern, we separate the vision and language modules, where we leverage external OCR models to recognize texts in the image and Large Language Models (LLMs) to answer the question given texts. The whole framework is training-free benefiting from the in-context ability of LLMs. This pipeline achieved superior performance compared to the majority of existing Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLM) on four text-rich VQA datasets. Besides, based on the ablation study, we find that LLM brings stronger comprehension ability and may introduce helpful knowledge for the VQA problem. The bottleneck for LLM to address text-rich VQA problems may primarily lie in visual part. We also combine the OCR module with MLLMs and pleasantly find that the combination of OCR module with MLLM also works. It's worth noting that not all MLLMs can comprehend the OCR information, which provides insights into how to train an MLLM that preserves the abilities of LLM.","PeriodicalId":496270,"journal":{"name":"arXiv (Cornell University)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136352485","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}

This task necessitates a profound understanding of industry use cases and the anticipated system behavior. Within the context of the automotive industry, existing evaluation metrics prove inadequate for assessing in-car conversational question answering (ConvQA) systems. The unique demands of these systems, where answers may relate to driver or car safety and are confined within the car domain, highlight the limitations of current metrics. To address these challenges, this paper introduces a set of KPIs tailored for evaluating the performance of in-car ConvQA systems, along with datasets specifically designed for these KPIs. A preliminary and comprehensive empirical evaluation substantiates the efficacy of our proposed approach. Furthermore, we investigate the impact of employing varied personas in prompts and found that it enhances the model's capacity to simulate diverse viewpoints in assessments, mirroring how individuals with different backgrounds perceive a topic.","PeriodicalId":496270,"journal":{"name":"arXiv (Cornell University)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136352512","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}

Given a functionality requirement usually described in a natural language sentence, a code search system can retrieve code snippets that satisfy the requirement from a large-scale code corpus, e.g., GitHub. To realize effective and efficient code search, many techniques have been proposed successively. These techniques improve code search performance mainly by optimizing three core components, including query understanding component, code understanding component, and query-code matching component. In this paper, we provide a 3-dimensional perspective survey for code search. Specifically, we categorize existing code search studies into query-end optimization techniques, code-end optimization techniques, and match-end optimization techniques according to the specific components they optimize. Considering that each end can be optimized independently and contributes to the code search performance, we treat each end as a dimension. Therefore, this survey is 3-dimensional in nature, and it provides a comprehensive summary of each dimension in detail. To understand the research trends of the three dimensions in existing code search studies, we systematically review 68 relevant literatures. Different from existing code search surveys that only focus on the query end or code end or introduce various aspects shallowly (including codebase, evaluation metrics, modeling technique, etc.), our survey provides a more nuanced analysis and review of the evolution and development of the underlying techniques used in the three ends. Based on a systematic review and summary of existing work, we outline several open challenges and opportunities at the three ends that remain to be addressed in future work.","PeriodicalId":496270,"journal":{"name":"arXiv (Cornell University)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136352647","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}

Moreover, we investigate how different metrics (such as Wasserstein or L'evy-Prokhorov) can be leveraged in the analysis. Our results are built upon stationarity concepts in distribution and in random variables and on the formulation of the stochastic optimal control problem as a finite-horizon Markov decision process.

The relation represents the joint planetary radius and bulk density probability distribution as a mean posterior predictive distribution of an analytical three-component mixture model. The analytical model, in turn, represents the probability for the planetary bulk density as three generalised Student's t-distributions with radius-dependent weights and means based on theoretical composition models. The approach is based on Bayesian inference and aims to overcome the rigidity of simple parametric mass-radius relations and the danger of overfitting of non-parametric mass-radius relations. The package includes a set of pre-trained and ready-to-use relations based on two M dwarf catalogues, one FGK star catalogue, and two theoretical composition models for water-rich planets. The inference of new models is easy and fast, and the package includes a command line tool that allows for coding-free use of the relation, including the creation of publication-quality plots. Additionally, we study whether the current mass and radius observations of small exoplanets support the presence of a population of water-rich planets positioned between rocky planets and sub-Neptunes. The study is based on Bayesian model comparison and shows somewhat strong support against the existence of a water-world population around M dwarfs. However, the results of the study depend on the chosen theoretical water-world density model. A more conclusive result requires a larger sample of precisely characterised planets and community consensus on a realistic water world interior structure and atmospheric composition model.","PeriodicalId":496270,"journal":{"name":"arXiv (Cornell University)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136352651","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, the most helpful explanation varies among individuals and may be inconsistent across stated preferences. To this end we develop an algorithm, Ardent, to efficiently learn a ranking through interaction and best assist humans complete a task.

Here, we present a 12-day multi-wavelength campaign observation of young solar-type star EK Draconis (G1.5V, 50-120 Myr age) utilizing TESS, NICER, and Seimei telescope. The star has previously exhibited blueshifted H$alpha$ absorptions as evidence for a filament eruption associated with a superflare. Our simultaneous optical and X-ray observations identified three superflares of $1.5times10^{33}$ -- $1.2times10^{34}$ erg. We report the first discovery of two prominence eruptions on a solar-type star, observed as blueshifted H$alpha$ emissions at speed of 690 and 430 km s$^{-1}$ and masses of $1.1times10^{19}$ and $3.2times10^{17}$ g, respectively. The faster, massive event shows a candidate of post-flare X-ray dimming with the amplitude of up to $sim$10 %. Several observational aspects consistently point to the occurrence of a fast CME associated with this event. The comparative analysis of the estimated length scales of flare loops, prominences, possible dimming region, and starspots provides the overall picture of the eruptive phenomena. Furthermore, the energy partition of the observed superflares in the optical and X-ray bands is consistent with flares from the Sun, M-dwarfs, and close binaries, yielding the unified empirical relations.
