    Abstract In conversational AI research, there's a noticeable trend towards developing models with a larger number of parameters, exemplified by models like ChatGPT. While these expansive models tend to generate increasingly better chat responses, they demand significant computational resources and memory. This study explores a pertinent question: Can a combination of smaller models collaboratively achieve comparable or enhanced performance relative to a singular large model? We introduce an approach termed "blending", a straightforward yet effective method of integrating multiple chat AIs. Our empirical evidence suggests that when specific smaller models are synergistically blended, they can potentially outperform or match the capabilities of much larger counterparts. For instance, integrating just three models of moderate size (6B/13B paramaeters) can rival or even surpass the performance metrics of a substantially larger model like ChatGPT (175B+ paramaters). This hypothesis is rigorously tested using A/B testing methodologies with a large user base on the Chai research platform over a span of thirty days. The findings underscore the potential of the "blending" strategy as a viable approach for enhancing chat AI efficacy without a corresponding surge in computational demands.

    Abstract Existing deep-learning-based methods for nighttime video deraining rely on synthetic data due to the absence of real-world paired data. However, the intricacies of the real world, particularly with the presence of light effects and low-light regions affected by noise, create significant domain gaps, hampering synthetic-trained models in removing rain streaks properly and leading to over-saturation and color shifts. Motivated by this, we introduce NightRain, a novel nighttime video deraining method with adaptive-rain-removal and adaptive-correction. Our adaptive-rain-removal uses unlabeled rain videos to enable our model to derain real-world rain videos, particularly in regions affected by complex light effects. The idea is to allow our model to obtain rain-free regions based on the confidence scores. Once rain-free regions and the corresponding regions from our input are obtained, we can have region-based paired real data. These paired data are used to train our model using a teacher-student framework, allowing the model to iteratively learn from less challenging regions to more challenging regions. Our adaptive-correction aims to rectify errors in our model's predictions, such as over-saturation and color shifts. The idea is to learn from clear night input training videos based on the differences or distance between those input videos and their corresponding predictions. Our model learns from these differences, compelling our model to correct the errors. From extensive experiments, our method demonstrates state-of-the-art performance. It achieves a PSNR of 26.73dB, surpassing existing nighttime video deraining methods by a substantial margin of 13.7%.

    Abstract Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive brain cancer associated with poor prognosis, intrinsic heterogeneity, plasticity, and therapy resistance. In some GBMs, cell proliferation is fueled by a transcriptional regulator, repressor element-1 silencing transcription factor (REST).
    Results: Using CRISPR/Cas9, we identified GBM cell lines dependent on REST activity. We developed new small molecule inhibitory compounds targeting small C-terminal domain phosphatase 1 (SCP1) to reduce REST protein level and transcriptional activity in glioblastoma cells. Top leads of the series like GR-28 exhibit potent cytotoxicity, reduce REST protein level, and suppress its transcriptional activity. Upon the loss of REST protein, GBM cells can potentially compensate by rewiring fatty acid metabolism, enabling continued proliferation. Combining REST inhibition with the blockade of this compensatory adaptation using long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase inhibitor Triacsin C demonstrated substantial synergetic potential without inducing hepatotoxicity.
    Conclusions: Our results highlight the efficacy and selectivity of targeting REST alone or in combination as a therapeutic strategy to combat high-REST GBM.

    Your Language Models Can Align Themselves without Finetuning

    Abstract Large language models (LLMs) often demonstrate inconsistencies with human preferences. Previous research typically gathered human preference data and then aligned the pre-trained models using reinforcement learning or instruction tuning, a.k.a. the finetuning step. In contrast, aligning frozen LLMs without requiring alignment data is more appealing. This work explores the potential of the latter setting. We discover that by integrating self-evaluation and rewind mechanisms, unaligned LLMs can directly produce responses consistent with human preferences via self-boosting. We introduce a novel inference method, Rewindable Auto-regressive INference (RAIN), that allows pre-trained LLMs to evaluate their own generation and use the evaluation results to guide rewind and generation for AI safety. Notably, RAIN operates without the need of extra data for model alignment and abstains from any training, gradient computation, or parameter updates. Experimental results evaluated by GPT-4 and humans demonstrate the effectiveness of RAIN: on the HH dataset, RAIN improves the harmlessness rate of LLaMA 30B from 82% of vanilla inference to 97%, while maintaining the helpfulness rate. On the TruthfulQA dataset, RAIN improves the truthfulness of the already-well-aligned LLaMA-2-chat 13B model by 5%.

    Abstract In order to prevent and control the increasing number of serious epidemics, the ability to predict the risk caused by emerging outbreaks is essential. However, most current risk prediction tools, except EPIRISK, are limited by being designed for targeting only one specific disease and one country. Differences between countries and diseases (e.g., different economic conditions, different modes of transmission, etc.) pose challenges for building models with cross-country and cross-disease prediction capabilities. The limitation of universality affects domestic and international efforts to control and prevent pandemic outbreaks. To address this problem, we used outbreak data from 43 diseases in 206 countries to develop a universal risk prediction system that can be used across countries and diseases. This system used five machine learning models (including Neural Network XGBoost, Logistic Boost, Random Forest and Kernel SVM) to predict and vote together to make ensemble predictions. It can make predictions with around 80%-90 % accuracy from economic, cultural, social, and epidemiological factors. Three different datasets were designed to test the performance of ML models under different realistic situations. This prediction system has strong predictive ability, adaptability, and generality. It can give universal outbreak risk assessment that are not limited by border or disease type, facilitate rapid response to pandemic outbreaks, government decision-making and international cooperation.

    Abstract SignificanceWhile most small, regulatory RNAs are thought to be "noncoding," a few have been found to also encode a small protein. Here we describe a 164-nucleotide RNA that encodes a 28-amino acid, amphipathic protein, which interacts with aerobic glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and increases dehydrogenase activity but also base pairs with two mRNAs to reduce expression. The coding and base-pairing sequences overlap, and the two regulatory functions compete.

    Abstract The architecture of a coarse-grained reconfigurable array (CGRA) interconnect has a significant effect on not only the flexibility of the resulting accelerator, but also its power, performance, and area. Design decisions that have complex trade-offs need to be explored to maintain efficiency and performance across a variety of evolving applications. This paper presents Canal, a Python-embedded domain-specific language (eDSL) and compiler for specifying and generating reconfigurable interconnects for CGRAs. Canal uses a graph-based intermediate representation (IR) that allows for easy hardware generation and tight integration with place and route tools. We evaluate Canal by constructing both a fully static interconnect and a hybrid interconnect with ready-valid signaling, and by conducting design space exploration of the interconnect architecture by modifying the switch box topology, the number of routing tracks, and the interconnect tile connections. Through the use of a graph-based IR for CGRA interconnects, the eDSL, and the interconnect generation system, Canal enables fast design space exploration and creation of CGRA interconnects.
