“社交媒体事件检测是指在从各类社交媒体的内容中挖掘热点事件。在实际情况中,由于数据稀缺,社交媒体事件检测在低资源的情况下表现较差。现有的方法主要通过跨语言知识迁移等方式来缓解低资源问题,但忽略了数据隐私问题。因此,本文提出了基于联邦知识蒸馏的跨语言社交媒体事件检测框架(FedEvent),旨在将富资源客户端知识蒸馏到低资源客户端。该框架通过结合参数高效微调技术和三组对比损失,实现非英文语义空间到英文语义空间的有效映射,并采用联邦蒸馏策略,保障数据隐私的前提下实现知识的迁移。此外,我们还设计了一套四阶段生命周期机制以适应增量场景。最后,我们在真实数据集上进行实验以证明该框架的有效性。”

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in comprehensively handling various types of natural language processing (NLP) tasks. However, there are significant differences in the knowledge and abilities required for different tasks. Therefore, it is important to understand whether the same LLM processes different tasks in the same way. Are there specific neurons in a LLM for different tasks? Inspired by neuroscience, this paper pioneers the exploration of whether distinct neurons are activated when a LLM handles different tasks. Compared with current research exploring the neurons of language and knowledge, task-specific neurons present a greater challenge due to their abstractness, diversity, and complexity. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a method for task-specific neuron localization based on Causal Gradient Variation with Special Tokens (CGVST). CGVST identifies task-specific neurons by concentrating on the most significant tokens during task processing, thereby eliminating redundant tokens and minimizing interference from non-essential neurons. Compared to traditional neuron localization methods, our approach can more effectively identify task-specific neurons. We conduct experiments across eight different public tasks. Experiments involving the inhibition and amplification of identified neurons demonstrate that our method can accurately locate task-specific neurons.
