Abstract: Recent speech enhancement methods based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and transformer have been demonstrated to efficaciously capture time-frequency (T-F) information on spectrogram. However, the correlation of each channels of speech features is failed to explore. Theoretically, each channel map of speech features obtained by different convolution kernels contains information with different scales demonstrating strong correlations. To fill this gap, we propose a novel dual-branch architecture named channel-aware dual-branch conformer (CADB-Conformer), which effectively explores the long range time and frequency correlations among different channels, respectively, to extract channel relation aware time-frequency information. Ablation studies conducted on DNS-Challenge 2020 dataset demonstrate the importance of channel feature leveraging while showing the significance of channel relation aware T-F information for speech enhancement. Extensive experiments also show that the proposed model achieves superior performance than recent methods with an attractive computational costs.
Analysis: Speech Enhancement and Channel-Aware Dual-Branch Conformer
In this article, we discuss recent advancements in speech enhancement methods using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and transformers. Specifically, the focus is on exploring the correlation between channels of speech features, which has previously been neglected in existing methods. The proposed solution, called Channel-Aware Dual-Branch Conformer (CADB-Conformer), aims to effectively capture long-range time and frequency correlations among different channels to extract channel relation aware time-frequency (T-F) information.
The research highlights the multi-disciplinary nature of the concepts discussed, as it combines techniques from machine learning (CNNs), natural language processing (transformers), and signal processing (speech enhancement). This interdisciplinary approach is crucial in addressing the challenges of analyzing and improving speech signals.
Relevance to Multimedia Information Systems
Speech enhancement plays a vital role in multimedia information systems, where the goal is to process and analyze various forms of multimedia data, including audio. By improving the quality of speech signals, multimedia information systems can provide better user experiences in applications such as voice assistants, audio conferencing, and video streaming. The CADB-Conformer model presented in the article contributes to the advancement of speech enhancement techniques, which is valuable for developing more robust and efficient multimedia information systems.
Influence on Animations, Artificial Reality, Augmented Reality, and Virtual Realities
The advancements in speech enhancement have implications for various multimedia technologies, including animations, artificial reality, augmented reality, and virtual realities. These technologies often involve interactions with users through voice commands or audio-based interfaces. By enhancing the quality of speech signals, CADB-Conformer can improve the accuracy and reliability of voice recognition systems used in animations, artificial reality simulations, augmented reality applications, and virtual reality experiences. This, in turn, enhances the overall immersive and interactive experience for users.

Within only a few years, SHAP (Shapley additive explanations) has emerged as the number 1 way to investigate black-box models. The basic idea is to decompose model predictions into additive contributions of the features in a fair way. Studying decompositions of many predictions allows to derive global properties of the model.
What happens if we apply SHAP algorithms to additive models? Why would this ever make sense?
In the spirit of our “Lost In Translation” series, we provide both high-quality Python and R code.
The models
Let’s build the models using a dataset with three highly correlated covariates and a (deterministic) response.
import numpy as np
import lightgbm as lgb

)
model_lgb = lgb.train(
params=params,
train_set=lgb.Dataset(X, label=y),
num_boost_round=300,
)
SHAP
For both models, we use exact permutation SHAP and exact Kernel SHAP. Furthermore, the linear model is analyzed with “additive SHAP”, and the tree-based model with TreeSHAP.
Do the algorithms provide the same?

perm = permshap(fit_lm, X = df[xvars], bg_X = df)
)
shap_lgb <- list(
tree = shapviz(fit_lgb, X),
kern = kernelshap(fit_lgb, X = X, bg_X = X),
perm = permshap(fit_lgb, X = X, bg_X = X)

all.equal(shap_lgb$lgb_kern$S, shap_lgb$lgb_perm$S)
# Linear coefficient of x3 equals slope of SHAP values
tail(coef(fit_lm), 1) # 0.682815

}
shap_lgb = {

shap.plots.scatter(shap_lm["add"])
SHAP dependence plot of the additive linear model and the additive explainer (Python).
Yes – the three algorithms within model provide the same SHAP values. Furthermore, the SHAP values reconstruct the additive components of the features.
Didactically, this is very helpful when introducing SHAP as a method: Pick a white-box and a black-box model and compare their SHAP dependence plots. For the white-box model, you simply see the additive components, while the dependence plots of the black-box model show scatter due to interactions.
Remark: The exact equivalence between algorithms is lost, when
there are too many features for exact procedures (~10+ features), and/or when
the background data of Kernel/Permutation SHAP does not agree with the training data. This leads to slightly different estimates of the baseline value, which itself influences the calculation of SHAP values.
Final words
SHAP algorithms applied to additive models typically give identical results. Slight differences might occur because sampling versions of the algos are used, or a different baseline value is estimated.
The resulting SHAP values describe the additive components.
Didactically, it helps to see SHAP analyses of white-box and black-box models side by side.
Recent years have seen the rise of SHAP (Shapley Additive Explanations) as the preferred way to investigate black-box models. SHAP’s fundamental premise is to break down model predictions into additive contributions of features in a fair manner. The thorough break down of numerous predictions can uncover global properties of the model.
The application of SHAP to Additive Models
The article proceeds to consider the application of SHAP algorithms to additive models, a concept which, on the face of it, presents an interesting paradox. Analyses are carried out using both high-quality Python and R code, examining model builds using a dataset featuring three significantly correlated covariates and a deterministic response.
Models Built
The authors build additive linear models and additive boosted trees using both R and Python. For both the models, distinct SHAP algorithms have been utilized; Ensuring that the linear model is dissected with additive SHAP and the tree-based model with TreeSHAP.
Are the Results Consistent?
An intriguing question is whether these algorithms would provide similar SHAP values. The answer presented in the paper is a resounding yes. It was demonstrated that individual algorithms yielded the exact SHAP values for each model type. In addition, the SHAP values successfully replicated the additive components of the features.
However, authors noted that there might be a loss in the exact equivalence between the algorithms when there are too many features for exact procedures, or when the background data of Kernel/Permutation SHAP does not agree with the training data. These factors may result in slightly different estimates of the baseline value, which themselves influence the calculation of SHAP values.
Application of SHAP Algorithms to Additive Models: The Implications
For SHAP algorithms applied to additive models, the results are generally identical. Only slight differences might show up if sampling versions of the algorithms are used or if a different baseline value is estimated. These SHAP values describe the additive components, proving the intrinsic value of SHAP as a teaching method. Comparing SHAP analyses of white-box and black-box models side by side serves to facilitate better understanding of this concept.
Suggestions and Ideas
Further Research: Since SHAP has been identified as a potential candidate to study black-box models, it makes sense to conduct additional research in this field and explore its wider implications.
Improving the Algorithms: It is noted that exact equivalence may be lost between algorithms in certain circumstances. Research should focus on remedying these loopholes to attain more accurate results.
Educational Applications: The study proves the didactic value of SHAP for understanding white-box and black-box models. This can form a crucial part of curriculum design in data science and viably be used as a teaching method.
Model Comparison: The paper suggests a direct comparison between the SHAP values of white-box and black-box models. This could be a crucial process in future model development and analyses, leading to more robust modelling methodologies.
Conclusion
The study of SHAP values in addictive models offers compelling insights into the investigation of black-box models. As researchers continue to explore this field, we can anticipate a wealth of advanced developments and improved capacities for analyzing complex data models.

arXiv:2406.09315v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, we show how Transformers can be interpreted as dense Expectation-Maximization algorithms performed on Bayesian Nets. Based on the above interpretation, we propose a new model design paradigm, namely Vertical LoRA (VLoRA), which reduces the parameter count dramatically while preserving performance. In VLoRA, a model consists of layers, each of which recursively learns an increment based on the previous layer. We then apply LoRA decomposition to the increments. VLoRA works on the base model, which is orthogonal to LoRA, meaning they can be used together. We do experiments on various tasks and models. The results show that 1) with VLoRA, the Transformer model parameter count can be reduced dramatically and 2) the performance of the original model is preserved.

This interpretation leads to the proposal of a new model design paradigm called Vertical LoRA (VLoRA), which significantly reduces the parameter count while maintaining performance. VLoRA utilizes layers that recursively learn an increment based on the previous layer and applies LoRA decomposition to these increments. The base model of VLoRA is orthogonal to LoRA, allowing them to be used together.

In a new research paper titled “Interpreting Transformers as Expectation-Maximization Algorithms on Bayesian Nets,” a team of scientists presents a groundbreaking perspective on Transformers. By viewing Transformers as dense Expectation-Maximization algorithms performed on Bayesian Nets, the researchers propose a novel model design paradigm called Vertical LoRA (VLoRA). This paradigm offers a significant reduction in parameter count while maintaining performance.
VLoRA introduces a layer-based approach, where each layer learns recursively based on the previous layer. To further optimize the model, the researchers apply LoRA decomposition to the increments. It’s important to note that VLoRA operates on the base model, which is separate from LoRA and can be utilized in conjunction with it.
To validate their proposal, the researchers conducted experiments on various tasks and models. The results revealed two critical findings. Firstly, by implementing VLoRA, they achieved a remarkable reduction in the parameter count of the Transformer model. This reduction in parameters is substantial and holds great potential for memory-efficient implementations. Secondly, the performance of the original model remained intact, demonstrating the effectiveness of VLoRA in generating compact yet powerful models.
If you are interested in exploring the details of VLoRA and implementing it in your own projects, the source code is readily available on GitHub: https://github.com/neverUseThisName/vlora.
This research opens up exciting avenues for future advancements in natural language processing and machine learning. By reimagining Transformers through the lens of dense Expectation-Maximization algorithms on Bayesian Nets, the possibilities for more efficient and effective models are vast.

The experiments conducted on various tasks and models underscore the effectiveness of VLoRA in achieving significant parameter count reduction while maintaining original model performance. Researchers and practitioners alike can now dive into the open-source code available on GitHub and explore the exciting possibilities that VLoRA brings to the table. The future of machine learning and natural language processing just got a whole lot more fascinating.
The paper “Interpreting Transformers as Expectation-Maximization Algorithms on Bayesian Nets and the Introduction of Vertical LoRA (VLoRA)” introduces an innovative model design paradigm called VLoRA that aims to reduce the parameter count of Transformer models while maintaining performance. The authors propose that Transformers can be interpreted as dense Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithms implemented on Bayesian Nets.
The key idea behind VLoRA is to decompose the model into layers, where each layer recursively learns an increment based on the previous layer. This decomposition is then combined with LoRA decomposition, a technique that has been used in previous work. The authors highlight that VLoRA and LoRA are orthogonal, meaning they can be used in conjunction with each other.
To validate their approach, the authors conducted experiments on various tasks and models. The results demonstrate two important findings. Firstly, by applying VLoRA, the parameter count of the Transformer model can be drastically reduced without sacrificing performance. This reduction in parameters is a significant advantage as it can lead to improved efficiency and scalability in real-world applications. Secondly, the performance of the original model is maintained, indicating that VLoRA does not compromise the model’s ability to learn and generalize.
The availability of the source code on GitHub provides an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to replicate and build upon the proposed methodology. This transparency and reproducibility are crucial for the advancement of the field.
In terms of future directions, it would be interesting to see further analysis and comparisons of VLoRA with existing methods for reducing parameter count in Transformer models. Additionally, investigating the impact of different layer configurations and their effects on performance and parameter reduction could provide valuable insights. Furthermore, extending the evaluation to more diverse tasks and datasets would help assess the generalizability and robustness of VLoRA.
