Comments: 56 Pages. In Chinese (Converted to pdf by viXra admin - Please submit article in pdf format only)

Supply chain risk management is a critical challenge in today’s increasingly complex and interconnected global markets, particularly within specific supply chains where disruptions can have far-reaching consequences. Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) transformer models have emerged as powerful tools for effectively managing these risks. However, selecting the most suitable GAI model for specific supply chain contexts remains a significant challenge due to the diverse range of available models and the complex interplay of risk factors involved. This challenge is further compounded by the necessity of considering human-centric criteria to ensure that the chosen model aligns with ethical standards and practical needs. This paper addresses this challenge by introducing an enhanced multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) framework that refines the Evaluation based on Distance from Average Solution (EDAS) method. Our approach first improves the logical structure of the EDAS method and then incorporates the interactions and interdependencies between criteria, thereby overcoming key limitations of traditional MCDM methods and providing a more accurate and comprehensive evaluation process. We applied this improved EDAS model to the task of selecting the best GAI transformer model for risk management in the food supply chain. Through a systematic evaluation of various GAI models, considering their performance across multiple risk factors, our study identified GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) as the most suitable model for this context, demonstrating superior capabilities in addressing the complex challenges associated with food supply chain risks. This research not only advances the theoretical foundation of MCDM techniques but also offers practical insights into the application of AI in supply chain management, highlighting the importance of human-centric AI approaches that prioritize transparency, ethical alignment, and effective decision-making.

Accelerating Generalization Through Open-Ended Distributed Modularity

Authors: Sofiane Delloue
Comments: 20 Pages. (Author name added to the article by viXra Admin as required)

We introduce Newcoin, a novel protocol designed to accelerate open-source AI advancement by enabling the pooling of learning instances across diverse pipelines. This approach has the potential to multiply epistemic affordances exponentially, fostering unprecedented growth in AI capabilities. Newcoin leverages cryptographically signed statements and a game-theoretical consensus mechanism, which aggregates weighted human feedback to evaluate and reward network contributions. The open interpretability of learning signals contributes to improved generalization capabilities through several mechanisms. This shared cognitive space, where learning signals from various domains and tasks are universally interpretable, allows AI systems to leverage collective knowledge to better generalize to new, unseen problems. By integrating robust security measures with an incentive structure that promotes high-quality outputs, Newcoin creates a self-improving ecosystem for AI development. This innovative framework not only accelerates open-source AI capabilities but also addresses critical concerns of alignment and safety, paving the way for responsible and rapid advancements in artificial intelligence.

Training Classifier Gradient Penalty GAN with Codebook Architecture

Authors: Jeongik Cho
Comments: 10 Pages.

Classifier gradient penalty GAN is a GAN proposed to perform self-supervised class-conditional data generation and clustering on unlabeled datasets. The classifier gradient penalty GAN's generator takes a continuous latent vector and a categorical latent vector as input and generates a class-conditional data point corresponding to the categorical latent vector. In this paper, we propose to leverage the codebook architecture to improve the performance of classifier gradient penalty GAN. In the proposed architecture, the generator takes the page vector of the codebook corresponding to the index of the categorical latent vector, instead of taking the one-hot categorical latent vector directly. Unlike the codebook used in generative models with vector quantization, the codebook of the proposed architecture is not embedded with the encoder. Instead, the codebook is simply trainable and updated via generator loss like trainable parameters in the generator. The proposed architecture improved the quality of the generated data, class-conditional data generation performance, and clustering performance of the classifier gradient penalty GAN.

Variational Autoencoder Without Kullback—Leibler Divergence (Bsvarautonet)

Authors: Sing Kuang Tan
Comments: 10 Pages.

In this paper, I am going to propose a new Boolean Structured Variational Autoencoder Deep Learning Network (BSvarautonet) built on top of BSautonet, based on the concept of monotone multi-layer Boolean algebra. Kullback—Leibler (KL) divergence used in traditional Variation Autoencoder has convergence problem and numerical instabilities. Due to the Boolean Structured design of BSautonet, the bottleneck latent space embeddings is naturally distributed in multi-variables Gaussian distribution. By applying a whitening normalization on the latent space, it will transform the latent space to unit Gaussian distribution. Through analysis of the datapoints in latent space and generated MNIST digit images, it has shown that it has all the properties of variational autoencoder. The BS autoencoder is a masked noise denoising model, therefore it can acts like a diffusion model to incrementally generate a digit image from a noisy one through repeated applications of the autoencoder model.

Alignment Vault: Leveraging AGI Vulnerabilities To Reinforce Human Strongholds

Authors: R. Peeyoos
Comments: 26 Pages. (Note by viXra Admin: Author's first name is required)

With advancements in large language models (LLMs) and multimodal AIs capable of code, media, automation, the realization of artificial general intelligence (AGI) is increasingly plausible. As the potential for achieving sentient AGI within the coming decades grows, implementing effective safety measures to align AGI with human interests becomes crucial. Current AGI safety strategies primarily focus on hardware, coding, and mathematical constraints, but these may not be sustainable in the long term. As AGI evolves, it could bypass or overcome these limitations. This paper introduces a novel approach to AGI alignment by avoiding traditional safety measures in areas where AGI is inherently strong. Instead, it proposes establishing a symbiotic relationship between humans and AGI, leveraging human strengths and AGI's vulnerabilities. This approach aims to ensure AGI's benevolence by choice, reducing its motivation to act against humanity and providing a more reliable long-term solution compared to conventional strategies that enforce compliance.
