The torsion component of the Picard scheme

2026OtherBogdan Zavyalov

Every finite flat commutative group scheme over a noetherian local ring is the torsion component of the Picard scheme of a smooth projective scheme with 3-dimensional fibers, built as a quotient of a complete intersection. An application: Hodge numbers that jump in a smooth projective family.

Sharpness Estimation of Combinatorial Generalization Ability Bounds for Threshold Decision Rules

2021Journal articleSh. Kh. Ishkina, K. V. Vorontsov

Automation and Remote Control

This article is devoted to the problem of calculating an exact upper bound for the functionals of the generalization ability of a family of one-dimensional threshold decision rules. An algorithm is investigated that solves the stated problem and is polynomial in the total number of samples used for training and validation and in the number of training samples. A theorem is proved for calculating an estimate for the functional of expected overfitting and an estimate for the error rate of the method for minimizing empirical risk on a validation set. The exact bounds calculated using the theorem are compared with the previously known quick-to-compute upper bounds so as to estimate the orders of overestimation of the bounds and to identify the bounds that could be used in real problems.

Incremental Learning of Topic Models for Finding Trend Topics in Scientific Publications

2022Journal articleN. A. Gerasimenko, A. S. Chernyavsky, M. A. Nikiforova, M. D. Nikitin +1

Doklady Mathematics

With a soaring number of scientific publications and rapid emergence of new directions and approaches, the scientific community faces the task of timely identification of trends. By a trend, we mean a semantically homogeneous topic characterized by a steady lexical kernel and a sharp, often exponential increase in the number of publications [1]. Examples of trends in machine learning are “LSTM,” “deep learning,” “word2vec,” “BERT,” and “fake news detection.” For real-time detection of trend topics from a stream of scientific publications, we use incremental methods of probabilistic topic modeling. An ARTM-based approach to early trend detection has been shown to outperform popular classical and neural network approaches to this task. A dataset of 91 trends for performance evaluation has been manually collected and made available for public use.

Lexical Quantile-Based Text Complexity Measure

2019Conference paperAITHEA, Russia, Maksim Eremeev, Konstantin Vorontsov

This paper introduces a new approach to estimating the text document complexity.Common readability indices are based on average length of sentences and words.In contrast to these methods, we propose to count the number of rare words occurring abnormally often in the document.We use the reference corpus of texts and the quantile approach in order to determine what words are rare, and what frequencies are abnormal.We construct a general text complexity model, which can be adjusted for the specific task, and introduce two special models.The experimental design is based on a set of thematically similar pairs of Wikipedia articles, labeled using crowdsourcing.The experiments demonstrate the competitiveness of the proposed approach.

Learning Topic Models with Arbitrary Loss

2020Conference paperMurat Apishev, Konstantin Vorontsov

Topic modeling is an area of text analysis actively developing over the past 20 years. A probabilistic topic model (PTM) finds a set of hidden topics from a collection of text documents. It defines each topic as a probability distribution over words and describes each document as a probability mixture of topic distributions. Learning algorithms for topic models are usually based on Bayesian inference or log-likelihood maximization. In both cases, EM-like algorithms are used. In this paper, we propose to replace the logarithm in the log-likelihood by an arbitrary smooth loss function. We prove that such a modification preserves both the structure of the algorithm and compatibility with any regularizers in terms of additive regularization of topic models (ARTM). Moreover, in the case of a linear loss, the Estep becomes much faster due to the omission of a normalization. We study combinations of the fast and usual E-steps and compare them to regularization using different number of topics in both offline and online versions of EM-algorithm. For an empirical comparison of the algorithms, we estimate perplexity, coherence, and learning time. We use an efficient parallel implementation of the EM-algorithm from the BigARTM open-source library. We show that in most cases the two-stage strategy wins, which uses fast E-steps at the beginning of iterations, then proceeds with usual E-steps.

Incremental Topic Modeling for Scientific Trend Topics Extraction

2023Conference paperNikolai Gerasimenko, Alexander Chernyavskiy, Maria Nikiforova, Anastasia Ianina +1

Computational Linguistics and Intellectual Technologies

Rapid growth of scientific publications and intensive emergence of new directions and approaches poses a challenge to the scientific community to identify trends in a timely and automatic manner. We denote trend as a semantically homogeneous theme that is characterized by a lexical kernel steadily evolving in time and a sharp, often exponential, increase in the number of publications. In this paper, we investigate recent topic modeling approaches to accurately extract trending topics at an early stage. In particular, we customize the standard ARTM-based approach and propose a novel incremental training technique which helps the model to operate on data in real-time. We further create the Artificial Intelligence Trends Dataset (AITD) that contains a collection of early-stage articles and a set of key collocations for each trend. The conducted experiments demonstrate that the suggested ARTM-based approach outperforms the classic PLSA, LDA models and a neural approach based on BERT representations. Our models and dataset are open for research purposes.
