Performance Prediction via Bayesian Matrix Factorisation for Multilingual Natural Language Processing Tasks

MBZUAI · Invalid Date

A new Bayesian matrix factorization approach is explored for performance prediction in multilingual NLP, aiming to reduce the experimental burden of evaluating various language combinations. The approach outperforms state-of-the-art methods in NLP benchmarks like machine translation and cross-lingual entity linking. It also avoids hyperparameter tuning and provides uncertainty estimates over predictions. Why it matters: Accurate performance prediction methods accelerate multilingual NLP research by reducing computational costs and improving experimental efficiency, especially valuable for Arabic NLP tasks.

Nonlinear Traffic Prediction as a Matrix Completion Problem with Ensemble Learning

arXiv · Jan 8

The paper introduces a novel method for short-term, high-resolution traffic prediction, modeling it as a matrix completion problem solved via block-coordinate descent. An ensemble learning approach is used to capture periodic patterns and reduce training error. The method is validated using both simulated and real-world traffic data from Abu Dhabi, demonstrating superior performance compared to other algorithms.
