    Abstract: In some examples, a processing machine for processing a substrate includes at least one shaping unit. The at least one shaping unit includes at least one forme cylinder and at least one impression cylinder. A processing point for processing a substrate is arranged between the at least one forme cylinder and the at least one impression cylinder. The processing machine includes a control unit for correcting a processing length of the substrate, and which controls a speed of at least one of the at least one forme cylinder or the at least one impression cylinder. The at least one forme cylinder and the at least one impression cylinder have a speed ratio with respect to one another that is changeable at the processing point as a function of the processing length of the substrate, and the speed ratio differs at least once within a full cylinder revolution.

  • Publication number: 20240086436
    Abstract: Systems and methods for pre-training and fine-tuning of neural-network-based language models to reason directly over tables without generating logical forms. In some examples, a language model can be pre-trained using masked-language modeling tasks synthetically generated from tables pulled from a knowledge corpus. In some examples, the language model may be further pre-trained using pairs of counterfactual statements generated from those tables, and/or one or more statements that compare selected data from those tables. The language model may then be fine-tuned using examples that include only a question, an answer, and a table, allowing fine-tuning examples to be harvested directly from existing benchmark datasets or synthetically generated.
