Heterogeneous Multi-Ant Colony Algorithm Combining Competitive Interaction Strategy And Eliminatingreconstructing Mechanism, Chen Feng, Xiaoming You, Sheng Liu
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: The traditional ant colony algorithm has many problems in convergence and diversity when solving the traveling salesman problem (TSP). Therefore, this paper proposes a heterogeneous multi-ant colony algorithm that combines the competitive interaction strategy and the eliminating-reconstructing mechanism (CEACO) to overcome these shortcomings. Firstly, the algorithm uses a competitive interaction strategy, which adjusts the interaction period adaptively according to the Hamming distance of different groups in different periods. Competition coefficients are adopted to differentiate matching interaction objects for interaction. The matched objects interact with each other through the optimal solution and pheromone matrix. This mechanism achieves a balance between …

Multi-Model Soft Sensor Modeling Under Help-Training Strategy, Luosuyang He, Weili Xiong
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: Due to the strong nonlinearity, multi-stage coupling, and the small number of labeled samples in complex industrial processes, it is difficult for traditional global soft sensor models to accurately describe the whole process. Therefore, a multi-model soft sensor modeling method under the helptraining strategy is proposed. This method uses a fuzzy C-means (FMC) clustering algorithm to mine similar samples in the sample set and build several sub-models. By introducing the help-training strategy, a collaborative training framework based on main and auxiliary learners is formed, and a confidence evaluation mechanism is designed to eliminate error samples and expand the modeling …

Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems for mental healthcare (MHCare) have been ever-growing after realizing the importance of early interventions for patients with chronic mental health (MH) conditions. Social media (SocMedia) emerged as the go-to platform for supporting patients seeking MHCare. The creation of peer-support groups without social stigma has resulted in patients transitioning from clinical settings to SocMedia supported interactions for quick help. Researchers started exploring SocMedia content in search of cues that showcase correlation or causation between different MH conditions to design better interventional strategies. User-level Classification-based AI systems were designed to leverage diverse SocMedia data from various MH conditions, …

Personalizing conversational agents can enhance the quality of conversations and increase user engagement. However, they often lack external knowledge to tend to a user’s persona appropriately. This is particularly crucial for practical applications like mental health support, nutrition planning, culturally sensitive conversations, or reducing toxic behavior in conversational agents. To enhance the relevance and comprehensiveness of personalized responses, we propose using a two-step approach that involves (1) selectively integrating user personas and (2) contextualizing the response with supplementing information from a background knowledge source. We develop K-PERM (Knowledge-guided PErsonalization with Reward Modulation), a dynamic conversational agent that combines these elements. …

Publications
Despite their wide applications to language understanding tasks, large language models (LLMs) still face challenges such as hallucinations - the occasional fabrication of information, and alignment issues - the lack of associations with human-curated world models (e.g., intuitive physics or common-sense knowledge). Additionally, the black-box nature of LLMs makes it highly challenging to train them meaningfully in order to achieve a desired behavior. Specifically, the attempt to adjust LLMs’ concept embedding spaces can be highly intractable, which involves analyzing the implicit impact on LLMs’ numerous parameters and the resulting inductive biases. This paper proposes a novel architecture that wraps powerful …
