Large language models inevitably retain sensitive information, defined as inputs that may induce harmful generations, due to training on massive web corpora, raising concerns for privacy and safety. Existing machine unlearning methods primarily rely on retraining or aggressive fine-tuning, which are…
Accurate forecasting of resource consumption, such as gas, is essential for efficient energy management, cost reduction, and sustainability. Time series forecasting (TSF) techniques like recurrent neural networks (RNNs), convolutional networks (TCNs), and Transformers have been employed to model com…
Multivariate time series forecasting has become increasingly crucial in fields such as energy and transportation. Recent research has focused on local lag relationships across variates, yielding impressive results. However, these methods typically require pre-calculating lag indicators and steps bet…
Direct speech translation (ST) has garnered increasing attention nowadays, yet the accurate translation of terminology within utterances remains a great challenge. In this regard, current studies mainly concentrate on leveraging various translation knowledge into ST models. However, these methods of…
In multivariate time series forecasting, transformer-based methods have gained attention for their ability to capture complex dependencies and are often integrated with graph neural networks to improve forecasting performance. However, these approaches are computationally intensive. Mamba, a more co…
Gas usage estimation plays a critical role in various aspects of the power generation and delivery business, including budgeting, resource planning, and environmental preservation. Federated Learning (FL) has demonstrated its potential in enhancing the accuracy and reliability of gas usage estimatio…
Large language models (LLMs) suffer from catastrophic forgetting during continual learning. Conventional rehearsal-based methods rely on previous training data to retain the model’s ability, which may not be feasible in real-world applications. When conducting continual learning based on a publicly-…
Cross-document Relation Extraction aims to predict the relation between target entities located in different documents. In this regard, the dominant models commonly retain useful information for relation prediction via bridge entities, which allows the model to elaborately capture the intrinsic inte…
Differential privacy (DP) has achieved remarkable results in the field of privacy-preserving machine learning. However, existing DP frameworks do not satisfy all the conditions for becoming metrics, which prevents them from deriving better basic private properties and leads to exaggerated values on…
Artificial intelligence (AI)-empowered industrial fault diagnostics is important in ensuring the safe operation of industrial applications. Since complex industrial systems often involve multiple industrial plants (possibly belonging to different companies or subsidiaries) with sensitive data collec…
