• Abstract: The execution and runtime performance of model-based analysis tools for realistic large-scale ABMs (Agent-Based Models) can be excessively long. This due to the computational demand exponentially proportional to the model size (e.g. Population size) and the number of model parameters. Even the runtime of a single simulation of a realistic ABM may demand huge computational resources when attempting to employ realistic population size. The main aim of this ad-hoc brief report is to highlight some of surrogate models that were adequate and computationally less demanding for nonlinear dynamical models in various modeling application areas.To the author knowledge, these methods have been not, at least extensively, employed for ABMs within the field of (SHCS) Social Health Computational Sciences, yet. Thus, they might be, but not necessarily, useful in progressing state of the art for establishing surrogate models for ABMs in the field of SHCS.

  We propose QualEval, which augments quantitative scalar metrics with automated qualitative evaluation as a vehicle for model improvement. QualEval uses a powerful LLM reasoner and our novel flexible linear programming solver to generate human-readable insights. We demonstrate that leveraging its insights, for example, improves the absolute performance of the Llama 2 model by up to 15% points relative.

  Training large models from scratch usually costs a substantial amount of resources. Recent studies such as bert2BERT and LiGO have reused small pretrained models to initialize a large model. We propose a method that linearly correlates each weight of the target model to all the weights of the pretrained model.

Our research offers valuable insights into stabilizing the training of MoE models, understanding the impact of MoE on model interpretability, and balancing the trade-offs between compute performance when scaling vision-language models.

• Model Reprogramming: Resource-Efficient Cross-Domain Machine Learning [65.268245109828]
  In data-rich domains such as vision, language, and speech, deep learning prevails to deliver high-performance task-specific models. Deep learning in resource-limited domains still faces multiple challenges including (i) limited data, (ii) constrained model development cost, and (iii) lack of adequate pre-trained models for effective finetuning. Model reprogramming enables resource-efficient cross-domain machine learning by repurposing a well-developed pre-trained model from a source domain to solve tasks in a target domain without model finetuning.
