• Abstract: Differential replication through copying refers to the process of replicating the decision behavior of a machine learning model using another model that possesses enhanced features and attributes. This process is relevant when external constraints limit the performance of an industrial predictive system. Under such circumstances, copying enables the retention of original prediction capabilities while adapting to new demands. Previous research has focused on the single-pass implementation for copying. This paper introduces a novel sequential approach that significantly reduces the amount of computational resources needed to train or maintain a copy, leading to reduced maintenance costs for companies using machine learning models in production. The effectiveness of the sequential approach is demonstrated through experiments with synthetic and real-world datasets, showing significant reductions in time and resources, while maintaining or improving accuracy.

  This work proposes PROM, a new PhRase-level cOpying Mechanism that enhances attention on n-grams. PROM adds an indicator layer to explicitly pick up tokens in n-gram that can be copied from the source, and calculates an auxiliary loss for the copying prediction. In zero-shot setting, PROM is utilized in the self-supervised pre-training on raw corpora and provides new general baselines on a wide range of summarization datasets.

  Counterfactual explanation is a class of methods to make local explanations of machine learning decisions. We present VCNet-Variational Counter Net, a model architecture that combines a predictor and a counterfactual generator. We show that VCNet is able to both generate predictions, and to generate counterfactual explanations without having to solve another minimisation problem.

• On the Copying Behaviors of Pre-Training for Neural Machine Translation [63.914940899327966]
  Previous studies have shown that initializing neural machine translation (NMT) models with the pre-trained language models (LM) can speed up the model training and boost the model performance. In this work, we identify a critical side-effect of pre-training for NMT, which is due to the discrepancy between the training objectives of LM-based pre-training and NMT. We propose a simple and effective method named copying penalty to control the copying behaviors in decoding.

• Automatic Recall Machines: Internal Replay, Continual Learning and the Brain [104.38824285741248]
  Replay in neural networks involves training on sequential data with memorized samples, which counteracts forgetting of previous behavior caused by non-stationarity. We present a method where these auxiliary samples are generated on the fly, given only the model that is being trained for the assessed objective. Instead the implicit memory of learned samples within the assessed model itself is exploited.
