• Abstract summary: We develop methods for condensing granular and big data into a representative and intelligible map. Financial regulation is a field that exemplifies this need, as regulators require diverse and often highly granular data from financial institutions to monitor and assess their activities. We propose a variant of Lloyd's algorithm that applies to probability distributions and uses generalized Wasserstein barycenters to construct a metric space which represents given data in condensed form.

• Abstract: The increasing availability of granular and big data on various objects of interest has made it necessary to develop methods for condensing this information into a representative and intelligible map. Financial regulation is a field that exemplifies this need, as regulators require diverse and often highly granular data from financial institutions to monitor and assess their activities. However, processing and analyzing such data can be a daunting task, especially given the challenges of dealing with missing values and identifying clusters based on specific features. To address these challenges, we propose a variant of Lloyd's algorithm that applies to probability distributions and uses generalized Wasserstein barycenters to construct a metric space which represents given data on various objects in condensed form. By applying our method to the financial regulation context, we demonstrate its usefulness in dealing with the specific challenges faced by regulators in this domain. We believe that our approach can also be applied more generally to other fields where large and complex data sets need to be represented in concise form.

  Non-experts can find it unintuitive to create effective measures or transform theories into context-specific metrics. This technical report addresses this challenge by examining software communities within large software corporations. We propose a prompt-engineering framework inspired by neural activities, demonstrating that generative models can extract and summarize theories.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) and Visual Language Models (VLMs) are attracting increasing interest due to their improving performance and applications across various domains and tasks. LLMs andVLMs can produce erroneous results, especially when a deep understanding of the problem domain is required. We propose a multi-agent architecture for embodied task planning that operates without the need for specific data structures as input.

  Given a small training data set and a learning algorithm, how much more data is necessary to reach a target validation or test performance? Overestimating or underestimating data requirements incurs substantial costs that could be avoided with an adequate budget. Using our guidelines, practitioners can accurately estimate data requirements of machine learning systems to gain savings in both development time and data acquisition costs.
