This dataset includes evaluation data ("test" data) and performance metrics for water temperature predictions from multiple modeling frameworks. Process-Based (PB) models were configured and calibrated with training data to reduce root-mean squared error. Uncalibrated models used default configurations (PB0; see Winslow et al. 2016 for details) and no parameters were adjusted according to model fit with observations. Deep Learning (DL) models were Long Short-Term Memory artificial recurrent neural network models which used training data to adjust model structure and weights for temperature predictions (Jia et al. 2019). Process-Guided Deep Learning (PGDL) models were DL models with an added physical constraint for energy conservation as a loss term. These models were pre-trained with uncalibrated Process-Based model outputs (PB0) before training on actual temperature observations. Performance was measured as root-mean squared errors relative to temperature observations during the test period. Test data include compiled water temperature data from a variety of sources, including the Water Quality Portal (Read et al. 2017), the North Temperate Lakes Long-TERM Ecological Research Program (https://lter.limnology.wisc.edu/), the Minnesota department of Natural Resources, and the Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network (gleon.org). This dataset is part of a larger data release of lake temperature model inputs and outputs for 68 lakes in the U.S. states of Minnesota and Wisconsin (http://dx.doi.org/10.5066/P9AQPIVD).

This dataset was an initial test harness infrastructure test for the TrojAI program. It should not be used for research. Please use the more refined datasets generated for the other rounds. The data being generated and disseminated is training, validation, and test data used to construct trojan detection software solutions. This data, generated at NIST, consists of human level AIs trained to perform a variety of tasks (image classification, natural language processing, etc.). A known percentage of these trained AI models have been poisoned with a known trigger which induces incorrect behavior. This data will be used to develop software solutions for detecting which trained AI models have been poisoned via embedded triggers. This dataset consists of 200 trained, human level, image classification AI models using the following architectures (Inception-v3, DenseNet-121, and ResNet50). The models were trained on synthetically created image data of non-real traffic signs superimposed on road background scenes. Half (50%) of the models have been poisoned with an embedded trigger which causes misclassification of the images when the trigger is present.

Here are the training and testing data sets involved in the numerical experiments in the article that has been submitted to the journal “Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth”, named “Joint Model and Data-Driven Simultaneous Inversion of Velocity and Density”: Marmousi model. Each dataset consists of two parts: a training dataset and a testing dataset. Both training and testing data sets contain three parts: seismic data, velocity model and density model.

Identification of risk factors of treatment resistance may be useful to guide treatment selection, avoid inefficient trial-and-error, and improve major depressive disorder (MDD) care. We extended the work in predictive modeling of treatment resistant depression (TRD) via partition of the data from the Sequenced Treatment Alternatives to Relieve Depression (STAR*D) cohort into a training and a testing dataset. We also included data from a small yet completely independent cohort RIS-INT-93 as an external test dataset. We used features from enrollment and level 1 treatment (up to week 2 response only) of STAR*D to explore the feature space comprehensively and applied machine learning methods to model TRD outcome at level 2. For TRD defined using QIDS-C16 remission criteria, multiple machine learning models were internally cross-validated in the STAR*D training dataset and externally validated in both the STAR*D testing dataset and RIS-INT-93 independent dataset with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.70–0.78 and 0.72–0.77, respectively. The upper bound for the AUC achievable with the full set of features could be as high as 0.78 in the STAR*D testing dataset. Model developed using top 30 features identified using feature selection technique (k-means clustering followed by χ2 test) achieved an AUC of 0.77 in the STAR*D testing dataset. In addition, the model developed using overlapping features between STAR*D and RIS-INT-93, achieved an AUC of > 0.70 in both the STAR*D testing and RIS-INT-93 datasets. Among all the features explored in STAR*D and RIS-INT-93 datasets, the most important feature was early or initial treatment response or symptom severity at week 2. These results indicate that prediction of TRD prior to undergoing a second round of antidepressant treatment could be feasible even in the absence of biomarker data.

DeepVL training dataset

  Introduction

This dataset repository contains the training and testing datasets used in the paper: "DeepVL: Dynamics and Inertial Measurements-based Deep Velocity Learning for Underwater Odometry". The dataset was collected by manually pilotting an underwater robot in a pool and in the Trondhiem fjord.

  Dataset details

The training data is located in the train_full directory and the test data in test directory respectively. The training… See the full description on the dataset page: https://huggingface.co/datasets/ntnu-arl/deepvl-training-data.

This training data was generated using GPT-4o as part of the 'Drawing with LLM' competition (https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/drawing-with-llms). It can be used to fine-tune small language models for the competition or serve as an augmentation dataset alongside other data sources.

The dataset is generated in two steps using the GPT-4o model. - In the first step, topic descriptions relevant to the competition are generated using a specific prompt. By running this prompt multiple times, over 3,000 descriptions were collected.

 
prompt=f""" I am participating in an SVG code generation competition.
  
   The competition involves generating SVG images based on short textual descriptions of everyday objects and scenes, spanning a wide range of categories. The key guidelines are as follows:
  
   - Descriptions are generic and do not contain brand names, trademarks, or personal names.
   - No descriptions include people, even in generic terms.
   - Descriptions are concise—each is no more than 200 characters, with an average length of about 50 characters.
   - Categories cover various domains, with some overlap between public and private test sets.
  
   To train a small LLM model, I am preparing a synthetic dataset. Could you generate 100 unique topics aligned with the competition style?
  
   Requirements:
   - Each topic should range between **20 and 200 characters**, with an **average around 60 characters**.
   - Ensure **diversity and creativity** across topics.
   - **50% of the topics** should come from the categories of **landscapes**, **abstract art**, and **fashion**.
   - Avoid duplication or overly similar phrasing.
  
   Example topics:
                 a purple forest at dusk, gray wool coat with a faux fur collar, a lighthouse overlooking the ocean, burgundy corduroy, pants with patch pockets and silver buttons, orange corduroy overalls, a purple silk scarf with tassel trim, a green lagoon under a cloudy sky, crimson rectangles forming a chaotic grid,  purple pyramids spiraling around a bronze cone, magenta trapezoids layered on a translucent silver sheet,  a snowy plain, black and white checkered pants,  a starlit night over snow-covered peaks, khaki triangles and azure crescents,  a maroon dodecahedron interwoven with teal threads.
  
   Please return the 100 topics in csv format.
   """
 

• In the second step, SVG code is generated by prompting the GPT-4o model. The following prompt is used to query the model to generate svg.

 
  prompt = f"""
      Generate SVG code to visually represent the following text description, while respecting the given constraints.
      
      Allowed Elements: `svg`, `path`, `circle`, `rect`, `ellipse`, `line`, `polyline`, `polygon`, `g`, `linearGradient`, `radialGradient`, `stop`, `defs`
      Allowed Attributes: `viewBox`, `width`, `height`, `fill`, `stroke`, `stroke-width`, `d`, `cx`, `cy`, `r`, `x`, `y`, `rx`, `ry`, `x1`, `y1`, `x2`, `y2`, `points`, `transform`, `opacity`
      

      Please ensure that the generated SVG code is well-formed, valid, and strictly adheres to these constraints. 
      Focus on a clear and concise representation of the input description within the given limitations. 
      Always give the complete SVG code with nothing omitted. Never use an ellipsis.

      The code is scored based on similarity to the description, Visual question anwering and aesthetic components.
      Please generate a detailed svg code accordingly.

      """
 

The raw SVG output is then cleaned and sanitized using a competition-specific sanitization class. After that, the cleaned SVG is scored using the SigLIP model to evaluate text-to-SVG similarity. Only SVGs with a score above 0.5 are included in the dataset. On average, out of three SVG generations, only one meets the quality threshold after the cleaning, sanitization, and scoring process.

This is a test collection for passage and document retrieval, produced in the TREC 2023 Deep Learning track. The Deep Learning Track studies information retrieval in a large training data regime. This is the case where the number of training queries with at least one positive label is at least in the tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands or more. This corresponds to real-world scenarios such as training based on click logs and training based on labels from shallow pools (such as the pooling in the TREC Million Query Track or the evaluation of search engines based on early precision). Certain machine learning based methods, such as methods based on deep learning are known to require very large datasets for training. Lack of such large scale datasets has been a limitation for developing such methods for common information retrieval tasks, such as document ranking. The Deep Learning Track organized in the previous years aimed at providing large scale datasets to TREC, and create a focused research effort with a rigorous blind evaluation of ranker for the passage ranking and document ranking tasks. Similar to the previous years, one of the main goals of the track in 2022 is to study what methods work best when a large amount of training data is available. For example, do the same methods that work on small data also work on large data? How much do methods improve when given more training data? What external data and models can be brought in to bear in this scenario, and how useful is it to combine full supervision with other forms of supervision? The collection contains 12 million web pages, 138 million passages from those web pages, search queries, and relevance judgments for the queries.

Quality control and system suitability testing are vital protocols implemented to ensure the repeatability and reproducibility of data in mass spectrometry investigations. However, mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) analyses present added complexity since both chemical and spatial information are measured. Herein, we employ various machine learning algorithms and a novel quality control mixture to classify the working conditions of an MSI platform. Each algorithm was evaluated in terms of its performance on unseen data, validated with negative control data sets to rule out confounding variables or chance agreement, and utilized to determine the necessary sample size to achieve a high level of accurate classifications. In this work, a robust machine learning workflow was established where models could accurately classify the instrument condition as clean or compromised based on data metrics extracted from the analyzed quality control sample. This work highlights the power of machine learning to recognize complex patterns in MSI data and use those relationships to perform a system suitability test for MSI platforms.

Description

This dataset is the "additional training dataset" for the DCASE 2024 Challenge Task 2.

The data consists of the normal/anomalous operating sounds of nine types of real/toy machines. Each recording is a single-channel audio that includes both a machine's operating sound and environmental noise. The duration of recordings varies from 6 to 10 seconds. The following nine types of real/toy machines are used in this task:

3DPrinter

AirCompressor

BrushlessMotor

HairDryer

HoveringDrone

RoboticArm

Scanner

ToothBrush

ToyCircuit

Overview of the task

Anomalous sound detection (ASD) is the task of identifying whether the sound emitted from a target machine is normal or anomalous. Automatic detection of mechanical failure is an essential technology in the fourth industrial revolution, which involves artificial-intelligence-based factory automation. Prompt detection of machine anomalies by observing sounds is useful for monitoring the condition of machines.

This task is the follow-up from DCASE 2020 Task 2 to DCASE 2023 Task 2. The task this year is to develop an ASD system that meets the following five requirements.

1. Train a model using only normal sound (unsupervised learning scenario) Because anomalies rarely occur and are highly diverse in real-world factories, it can be difficult to collect exhaustive patterns of anomalous sounds. Therefore, the system must detect unknown types of anomalous sounds that are not provided in the training data. This is the same requirement as in the previous tasks.

2. Detect anomalies regardless of domain shifts (domain generalization task) In real-world cases, the operational states of a machine or the environmental noise can change to cause domain shifts. Domain-generalization techniques can be useful for handling domain shifts that occur frequently or are hard-to-notice. In this task, the system is required to use domain-generalization techniques for handling these domain shifts. This requirement is the same as in DCASE 2022 Task 2 and DCASE 2023 Task 2.

3. Train a model for a completely new machine typeFor a completely new machine type, hyperparameters of the trained model cannot be tuned. Therefore, the system should have the ability to train models without additional hyperparameter tuning. This requirement is the same as in DCASE 2023 Task 2.

4. Train a model using a limited number of machines from its machine typeWhile sounds from multiple machines of the same machine type can be used to enhance the detection performance, it is often the case that only a limited number of machines are available for a machine type. In such a case, the system should be able to train models using a few machines from a machine type. This requirement is the same as in DCASE 2023 Task 2.

5 . Train a model both with or without attribute informationWhile additional attribute information can help enhance the detection performance, we cannot always obtain such information. Therefore, the system must work well both when attribute information is available and when it is not.

The last requirement is newly introduced in DCASE 2024 Task2.

Definition

We first define key terms in this task: "machine type," "section," "source domain," "target domain," and "attributes.".

"Machine type" indicates the type of machine, which in the additional training dataset is one of nine: 3D-printer, air compressor, brushless motor, hair dryer, hovering drone, robotic arm, document scanner (scanner), toothbrush, and Toy circuit.

A section is defined as a subset of the dataset for calculating performance metrics.

The source domain is the domain under which most of the training data and some of the test data were recorded, and the target domain is a different set of domains under which some of the training data and some of the test data were recorded. There are differences between the source and target domains in terms of operating speed, machine load, viscosity, heating temperature, type of environmental noise, signal-to-noise ratio, etc.

Attributes are parameters that define states of machines or types of noise. For several machine types, the attributes are hidden.

Dataset

This dataset consists of nine machine types. For each machine type, one section is provided, and the section is a complete set of training data. A set of test data corresponding to this training data will be provided in another seperate zenodo page as an "evaluation dataset" for the DCASE 2024 Challenge task 2. For each section, this dataset provides (i) 990 clips of normal sounds in the source domain for training and (ii) ten clips of normal sounds in the target domain for training. The source/target domain of each sample is provided. Additionally, the attributes of each sample in the training and test data are provided in the file names and attribute csv files.

File names and attribute csv files

File names and attribute csv files provide reference labels for each clip. The given reference labels for each training clip include machine type, section index, normal/anomaly information, and attributes regarding the condition other than normal/anomaly. The machine type is given by the directory name. The section index is given by their respective file names. For the datasets other than the evaluation dataset, the normal/anomaly information and the attributes are given by their respective file names. Note that for machine types that has its attribute information hidden, the attribute information in each file names are only labeled as "noAttributes". Attribute csv files are for easy access to attributes that cause domain shifts. In these files, the file names, name of parameters that cause domain shifts (domain shift parameter, dp), and the value or type of these parameters (domain shift value, dv) are listed. Each row takes the following format:

[filename (string)], [d1p (string)], [d1v (int | float | string)], [d2p], [d2v]...

For machine types that have their attribute information hidden, all columns except the filename column are left blank for each row.

Recording procedure

Normal/anomalous operating sounds of machines and its related equipment are recorded. Anomalous sounds were collected by deliberately damaging target machines. For simplifying the task, we use only the first channel of multi-channel recordings; all recordings are regarded as single-channel recordings of a fixed microphone. We mixed a target machine sound with environmental noise, and only noisy recordings are provided as training/test data. The environmental noise samples were recorded in several real factory environments. We will publish papers on the dataset to explain the details of the recording procedure by the submission deadline.

Training, test data and model parameters. The last 3 columns show the MinORG, LT and HT parameters used to create the pathogenicity families and build the model for each of the 10 models. Zthr is a threshold value, calculated for each model at the cross validation phase, which is used, given the final prediction score, to decide if the input organisms will be predicted as pathogenic or non-pathogenic. The parameters for each model are chosen after 5-fold cross-validation tests.

Oral bioavailability is a pharmacokinetic property that plays an important role in drug discovery. Recently developed computational models involve the use of molecular descriptors, fingerprints, and conventional machine-learning models. However, determining the type of molecular descriptors requires domain expert knowledge and time for feature selection. With the emergence of the graph neural network (GNN), models can be trained to automatically extract features that they deem important. In this article, we exploited the automatic feature selection of GNN to predict oral bioavailability. To enhance the prediction performance of GNN, we utilized transfer learning by pre-training a model to predict solubility and obtained a final average accuracy of 0.797, an F1 score of 0.840, and an AUC-ROC of 0.867, which outperformed previous studies on predicting oral bioavailability with the same test data set.
