• Authors: Sarun Kamolthip
• Abstract summary: We first present how theconventional LSTM model can be adapted to the time series observed at mixed frequencies. We then adopt the unrestricted Mixed DAtaSampling scheme (U-MIDAS) into the LSTM architecture. Our proposed model could be very helpful in the period of large economic downturns for short-termforecast.

• Abstract: This paper demonstrates the potentials of the long short-term memory (LSTM) when applyingwith macroeconomic time series data sampled at different frequencies. We first present how theconventional LSTM model can be adapted to the time series observed at mixed frequencies when thesame mismatch ratio is applied for all pairs of low-frequency output and higher-frequency variable. Togeneralize the LSTM to the case of multiple mismatch ratios, we adopt the unrestricted Mixed DAtaSampling (U-MIDAS) scheme (Foroni et al., 2015) into the LSTM architecture. We assess via bothMonte Carlo simulations and empirical application the out-of-sample predictive performance. Ourproposed models outperform the restricted MIDAS model even in a set up favorable to the MIDASestimator. For real world application, we study forecasting a quarterly growth rate of Thai realGDP using a vast array of macroeconomic indicators both quarterly and monthly. Our LSTM withU-MIDAS scheme easily beats the simple benchmark AR(1) model at all horizons, but outperformsthe strong benchmark univariate LSTM only at one and six months ahead. Nonetheless, we find thatour proposed model could be very helpful in the period of large economic downturns for short-termforecast. Simulation and empirical results seem to support the use of our proposed LSTM withU-MIDAS scheme to nowcasting application.

  Large language models (LLMs) fine-tuned with alignment techniques, such as reinforcement learning from human feedback, have been instrumental in developing some of the most capable AI systems to date. We introduce an approach called Margin Matching Preference Optimization (MMPO), which incorporates relative quality margins into optimization, leading to improved LLM policies and reward models. Experiments with both human and AI feedback data demonstrate that MMPO consistently outperforms baseline methods, often by a substantial margin, on popular benchmarks including MT-bench and RewardBench.

  Score-based generative models (SGMs) have recently demonstrated impressive results in terms of both sample quality and distribution coverage. Here, we propose the Latent Score-based Generative Model (LSGM), a novel approach that trains SGMs in a latent space. Moving from data to latent space allows us to train more expressive generative models, apply SGMs to non-continuous data, and learn smoother SGMs in a smaller space.

  The remaining Useful Life (RUL) of equipment is defined as the duration between the current time and its failure. We propose an end-to-end deep learning model based on multi-layer perceptron and long short-term memory layers (LSTM) to predict the RUL. We will discuss how the proposed end-to-end model is able to achieve such good results and compare it to other deep learning and state-of-the-art methods.
