P-GELU: A Novel Activation Function to Optimize Whisper for Darija Speech Translation by Maria Labied, Abdessamad Belangour, Mouad Banane

“…Through extensive experiments, we demonstrate that P-GELU outperforms standard GELU, with superior convergence speed and generalization. Furthermore, P-GELU reduces training loss, improves feature retention, and enhances linguistic adaptability, making it a more effective alternative for speech translation tasks involving phonetic variability, code-switching, and limited training data. …”

A Surrogate Piecewise Linear Loss Function for Contextual Stochastic Linear Programs in Transport by Qi Hong, Mo Jia, Xuecheng Tian, Zhiyuan Liu, Shuaian Wang

“…To address this limitation, inspired by the smart predict-then-optimize framework, we introduce a novel tunable piecewise linear loss function (PLLF). Rather than directly incorporating decision loss into the learning objective based on specific problem, PLLF serves as a general feedback mechanism that guides the prediction model based on the structure and sensitivity of the downstream optimization task. …”
