在多语言甚至单语言中鉴定的模型的零拍跨语言能力刺激了许多假设，以解释这一有趣的经验结果。但是，由于预处理的成本，大多数研究都使用公共模型的公共模型，其预处理方法（例如代币化，语料库规模和计算预算的选择）可能会大不相同。当研究人员对自己的模型预识时，他们通常会在预算有限的情况下这样做，并且与SOTA模型相比，最终的模型的表现可能明显不足。这些实验差异导致有关这些模型跨语性能力的性质的各种不一致的结论。为了帮助对该主题进行进一步研究，我们发布了10个单语字节级模型，并在相同的配置下进行了严格审慎的概述，并具有大型计算预算（相当于V100的420天）和Corpora，比原始BERT大4倍。由于它们不含令牌，因此消除了看不见的令牌嵌入的问题，从而使研究人员可以在具有不同脚本的语言中尝试更广泛的跨语言实验。此外，我们释放了在不自然语言文本上预测的两个模型，这些模型可用于理智检查实验。关于质量检查和NLI任务的实验表明，我们的单语模型实现了多语言的竞争性能，因此可以加强我们对语言模型中跨语性可传递性的理解。

一种有效的横向传输方法是在一种语言中微调在监督数据集上的双语或多语言模型，并以零拍方式在另一种语言上进行评估。在培训时间或推理时间翻译例子也是可行的替代方案。然而，存在与文献中很少有关的这些方法相关的成本。在这项工作中，我们在其有效性（例如，准确性），开发和部署成本方面分析交叉语言方法，以及推理时间的延迟。我们的三个任务的实验表明最好的交叉方法是高度任务依赖性的。最后，通过结合零射和翻译方法，我们在这项工作中使用的三个数据集中实现了最先进的。基于这些结果，我们对目标语言手动标记的培训数据有所了解。代码和翻译的数据集可在https://github.com/unicamp-dl/cross-lingsual-analysis上获得

通常，基于生物谱系的控制系统可能不依赖于各个预期行为或合作适当运行。相反，这种系统应该了解未经授权的访问尝试的恶意程序。文献中提供的一些作品建议通过步态识别方法来解决问题。这些方法旨在通过内在的可察觉功能来识别人类，尽管穿着衣服或配件。虽然该问题表示相对长时间的挑战，但是为处理问题的大多数技术存在与特征提取和低分类率相关的几个缺点，以及其他问题。然而，最近的深度学习方法是一种强大的一组工具，可以处理几乎任何图像和计算机视觉相关问题，为步态识别提供最重要的结果。因此，这项工作提供了通过步态认可的关于生物识别检测的最近作品的调查汇编，重点是深入学习方法，强调他们的益处，暴露出弱点。此外，它还呈现用于解决相关约束的数据集，方法和体系结构的分类和表征描述。

State-of-the-art brain tumor segmentation is based on deep learning models applied to multi-modal MRIs. Currently, these models are trained on images after a preprocessing stage that involves registration, interpolation, brain extraction (BE, also known as skull-stripping) and manual correction by an expert. However, for clinical practice, this last step is tedious and time-consuming and, therefore, not always feasible, resulting in skull-stripping faults that can negatively impact the tumor segmentation quality. Still, the extent of this impact has never been measured for any of the many different BE methods available. In this work, we propose an automatic brain tumor segmentation pipeline and evaluate its performance with multiple BE methods. Our experiments show that the choice of a BE method can compromise up to 15.7% of the tumor segmentation performance. Moreover, we propose training and testing tumor segmentation models on non-skull-stripped images, effectively discarding the BE step from the pipeline. Our results show that this approach leads to a competitive performance at a fraction of the time. We conclude that, in contrast to the current paradigm, training tumor segmentation models on non-skull-stripped images can be the best option when high performance in clinical practice is desired.

Text classification is a natural language processing (NLP) task relevant to many commercial applications, like e-commerce and customer service. Naturally, classifying such excerpts accurately often represents a challenge, due to intrinsic language aspects, like irony and nuance. To accomplish this task, one must provide a robust numerical representation for documents, a process known as embedding. Embedding represents a key NLP field nowadays, having faced a significant advance in the last decade, especially after the introduction of the word-to-vector concept and the popularization of Deep Learning models for solving NLP tasks, including Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), and Transformer-based Language Models (TLMs). Despite the impressive achievements in this field, the literature coverage regarding generating embeddings for Brazilian Portuguese texts is scarce, especially when considering commercial user reviews. Therefore, this work aims to provide a comprehensive experimental study of embedding approaches targeting a binary sentiment classification of user reviews in Brazilian Portuguese. This study includes from classical (Bag-of-Words) to state-of-the-art (Transformer-based) NLP models. The methods are evaluated with five open-source databases with pre-defined data partitions made available in an open digital repository to encourage reproducibility. The Fine-tuned TLMs achieved the best results for all cases, being followed by the Feature-based TLM, LSTM, and CNN, with alternate ranks, depending on the database under analysis.

In the last decade, exponential data growth supplied machine learning-based algorithms' capacity and enabled their usage in daily-life activities. Additionally, such an improvement is partially explained due to the advent of deep learning techniques, i.e., stacks of simple architectures that end up in more complex models. Although both factors produce outstanding results, they also pose drawbacks regarding the learning process as training complex models over large datasets are expensive and time-consuming. Such a problem is even more evident when dealing with video analysis. Some works have considered transfer learning or domain adaptation, i.e., approaches that map the knowledge from one domain to another, to ease the training burden, yet most of them operate over individual or small blocks of frames. This paper proposes a novel approach to map the knowledge from action recognition to event recognition using an energy-based model, denoted as Spectral Deep Belief Network. Such a model can process all frames simultaneously, carrying spatial and temporal information through the learning process. The experimental results conducted over two public video dataset, the HMDB-51 and the UCF-101, depict the effectiveness of the proposed model and its reduced computational burden when compared to traditional energy-based models, such as Restricted Boltzmann Machines and Deep Belief Networks.

Large language models (LLMs) have been shown to be able to perform new tasks based on a few demonstrations or natural language instructions. While these capabilities have led to widespread adoption, most LLMs are developed by resource-rich organizations and are frequently kept from the public. As a step towards democratizing this powerful technology, we present BLOOM, a 176B-parameter open-access language model designed and built thanks to a collaboration of hundreds of researchers. BLOOM is a decoder-only Transformer language model that was trained on the ROOTS corpus, a dataset comprising hundreds of sources in 46 natural and 13 programming languages (59 in total). We find that BLOOM achieves competitive performance on a wide variety of benchmarks, with stronger results after undergoing multitask prompted finetuning. To facilitate future research and applications using LLMs, we publicly release our models and code under the Responsible AI License.

我们介绍了IST和Unmabel对WMT 2022关于质量估计（QE）的共享任务的共同贡献。我们的团队参与了所有三个子任务：（i）句子和单词级质量预测；（ii）可解释的量化宽松；（iii）关键错误检测。对于所有任务，我们在彗星框架之上构建，将其与OpenKIWI的预测估计架构连接，并为其配备单词级序列标记器和解释提取器。我们的结果表明，在预处理过程中合并参考可以改善下游任务上多种语言对的性能，并且通过句子和单词级别的目标共同培训可以进一步提高。此外，将注意力和梯度信息结合在一起被证明是提取句子级量化量化宽松模型的良好解释的首要策略。总体而言，我们的意见书在几乎所有语言对的所有三个任务中都取得了最佳的结果。

社会机器人的快速发展刺激了人类运动建模，解释和预测，主动碰撞，人类机器人相互作用和共享空间中共同损害的积极研究。现代方法的目标需要高质量的数据集进行培训和评估。但是，大多数可用数据集都遭受了不准确的跟踪数据或跟踪人员的不自然的脚本行为。本文试图通过在语义丰富的环境中提供运动捕获，眼睛凝视跟踪器和板载机器人传感器的高质量跟踪信息来填补这一空白。为了诱导记录参与者的自然行为，我们利用了松散的脚本化任务分配，这使参与者以自然而有目的的方式导航到动态的实验室环境。本文介绍的运动数据集设置了高质量的标准，因为使用语义信息可以增强现实和准确的数据，从而使新算法的开发不仅依赖于跟踪信息，而且还依赖于移动代理的上下文提示，还依赖于跟踪信息。静态和动态环境。

对心脏周围环境的脂肪库的定量是评估与多种疾病相关的健康风险因素的准确程序。但是，由于人为的工作量，这种类型的评估并未在临床实践中广泛使用。这项工作提出了一种用于自动分割心脏脂肪垫的新技术。该技术基于将分类算法应用于心脏CT图像的分割。此外，我们广泛评估了几种算法在此任务上的性能，并讨论了提供了更好的预测模型。实验结果表明，心外膜和纵隔脂肪分类的平均准确性为98.4％，平均正面速率为96.2％。平均而言，关于分割的患者和地面真相的骰子相似性指数等于96.8％。因此，迄今为止，我们的技术已经获得了心脏脂肪自动分割的最准确结果。
