• Abstract: We use a text dataset consisting of 23 news categories relevant to pharma information science, in order to compare the fine-tuning performance of multiple transformer models in a classification task. Using a well-balanced dataset with multiple autoregressive and autocoding transformation models, we compare their fine-tuning performance. To validate the winning approach, we perform diagnostics of model behavior on mispredicted instances, including inspection of category-wise metrics, evaluation of prediction certainty and assessment of latent space representations. Lastly, we propose an ensemble model consisting of the top performing individual predictors and demonstrate that this approach offers a modest improvement in the F1 metric.

  We introduce TRIAGE, a novel data characterization framework tailored to regression tasks and compatible with a broad class of regressors. TRIAGE utilizes conformal predictive distributions to provide a model-agnostic scoring method, the TRIAGE score. We show that TRIAGE's characterization is consistent and highlight its utility to improve performance via data sculpting/filtering, in multiple regression settings.

  We study the impact of the trade-off between the intra-class diversity (the number of samples per class) and the inter-class diversity (the number of classes) of a supervised pre-training dataset. With the size of the pre-training dataset fixed, the best downstream performance comes with a balance on the intra-/inter-class diversity.

  We present a novel approach incorporating transformer-based language models into infectious disease modelling. We benchmark these clustered embedding features against features extracted from other high-quality datasets. In a threshold-classification task, we show that they outperform all other feature types at predicting upward trend signals.

  This paper explores the use of non-linear interpretable machine learning (ML) models in classification problems. Various ensembles of trees are compared to linear models using imbalanced synthetic and real-world datasets. In one of the two real-world datasets, knowledge distillation method achieves improved AUC scores.

• Benchmarking AutoML Frameworks for Disease Prediction Using Medical Claims [7.219529711278771]
  We generated a large dataset using historical administrative claims including demographic information and flags for disease codes. We trained three AutoML tools on this dataset to predict six different disease outcomes in 2019 and evaluated model performances on several metrics. All models recorded low area under the precision-recall curve and failed to predict true positives while keeping the true negative rate high.

  We evaluate 29 datasets using predictions from 18 pretrained Transformer models on individual test examples. We find that Quoref, HellaSwag, and MC-TACO are best suited for distinguishing among state-of-the-art models. We also observe span selection task format, which is used for QA datasets like QAMR or SQuAD2.0, is effective in differentiating between strong and weak models.

• A comprehensive comparative evaluation and analysis of Distributional Semantic Models [61.41800660636555]
  We perform a comprehensive evaluation of type distributional vectors, either produced by static DSMs or obtained by averaging the contextualized vectors generated by BERT. The results show that the alleged superiority of predict based models is more apparent than real, and surely not ubiquitous. We borrow from cognitive neuroscience the methodology of Representational Similarity Analysis (RSA) to inspect the semantic spaces generated by distributional models.
