• Abstract: A key challenge when trying to understand innovation is that it is a dynamic, ongoing process, which can be highly contingent on ephemeral factors such as culture, economics, or luck. This means that any analysis of the real-world process must necessarily be historical - and thus probably too late to be most useful - but also cannot be sure what the properties of the web of connections between innovations is or was. Here I try to address this by designing and generating a set of synthetic innovation web "dictionaries" that can be used to host sampled innovation timelines, probe the overall statistics and behaviours of these processes, and determine the degree of their reliance on the structure or generating algorithm. Thus, inspired by the work of Fink, Reeves, Palma and Farr (2017) on innovation in language, gastronomy, and technology, I study how new symbol discovery manifests itself in terms of additional "word" vocabulary being available from dictionaries generated from a finite number of symbols. Several distinct dictionary generation models are investigated using numerical simulation, with emphasis on the scaling of knowledge as dictionary generators and parameters are varied, and the role of which order the symbols are discovered in.

  The main obstacle toward neural-network-based paraphrasing is the lack of large datasets with aligned pairs of sentences and paraphrases. We present a method for the automatic generation of large aligned corpora, that is based on the assumption that news and blog websites talk about the same events using different narrative styles. We propose a similarity search procedure with linguistic constraints that, given a reference sentence, is able to locate the most similar candidate paraphrases out from millions of indexed sentences.

  We propose a new model of contextual word representation, not from a neural perspective, but from a purely syntactic and probabilistic perspective. We find that the graph of our model resembles transformers, with correspondences between dependencies and self-attention. Experiments show that our model performs competitively to transformers on small to medium sized datasets.

We show that the large language model can augment this "knowledge" by synthesizing from the scientific literature. This approach has the further advantage that the large language model can explain the machine learning system's predictions.

  We show that strong performance can be achieved by a method we call Iter-RetGen, which synergizes retrieval and generation in an iterative manner. A model output shows what might be needed to finish a task, and thus provides an informative context for retrieving more relevant knowledge. Iter-RetGen processes all retrieved knowledge as a whole and largely preserves the flexibility in generation without structural constraints.

  Non-autoregressive (NAR) generation is first proposed in machine translation (NMT) to speed up inference. While NAR generation can significantly accelerate machine translation, the inference of autoregressive (AR) generation sacrificed translation accuracy. Many new models and algorithms have been designed/proposed to bridge the accuracy gap between NAR generation and AR generation.
