In this paper, we propose physics-informed neural operators (PINO) that combine training data and physics constraints to learn the solution operator of a given family of parametric Partial Differential Equations (PDE). PINO is the first hybrid approach incorporating data and PDE constraints at different resolutions to learn the operator. Specifically, in PINO, we combine coarse-resolution training data with PDE constraints imposed at a higher resolution. The resulting PINO model can accurately approximate the ground-truth solution operator for many popular PDE families and shows no degradation in accuracy even under zero-shot super-resolution, i.e., being able to predict beyond the resolution of training data. PINO uses the Fourier neural operator (FNO) framework that is guaranteed to be a universal approximator for any continuous operator and discretization-convergent in the limit of mesh refinement. By adding PDE constraints to FNO at a higher resolution, we obtain a high-fidelity reconstruction of the ground-truth operator. Moreover, PINO succeeds in settings where no training data is available and only PDE constraints are imposed, while previous approaches, such as the Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN), fail due to optimization challenges, e.g., in multi-scale dynamic systems such as Kolmogorov flows.

In this paper, we investigate the effectiveness of contrastive learning methods for predicting grasp outcomes in an unsupervised manner. By utilizing a publicly available dataset, we demonstrate that contrastive learning methods perform well on the task of grasp outcomes prediction. Specifically, the dynamic-dictionary-based method with the momentum updating technique achieves a satisfactory accuracy of 81.83% using data from one single tactile sensor, outperforming other unsupervised methods. Our results reveal the potential of contrastive learning methods for applications in the field of robot grasping and highlight the importance of accurate grasp prediction for achieving stable grasps.
We present a new method for two-material Lagrangian hydrodynamics, which combines the Shifted Interface Method (SIM) with a high-order Finite Element Method. Our approach relies on an exact (or sharp) material interface representation, that is, it uses the precise location of the material interface. The interface is represented by the zero level-set of a continuous high-order finite element function that moves with the material velocity. This strategy allows to evolve curved material interfaces inside curved elements. By reformulating the original interface problem over a surrogate (approximate) interface, located in proximity of the true interface, the SIM avoids cut cells and the associated problematic issues regarding implementation, numerical stability, and matrix conditioning. Accuracy is maintained by modifying the original interface conditions using Taylor expansions. We demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithms on established numerical benchmarks in one, two and three dimensions.
In this paper, we present a simultaneous exploration and object search framework for the application of autonomous trolley collection. For environment representation, a task-oriented environment partitioning algorithm is presented to extract diverse information for each sub-task. First, LiDAR data is classified as potential objects, walls, and obstacles after outlier removal. Segmented point clouds are then transformed into a hybrid map with the following functional components: object proposals to avoid missing trolleys during exploration; room layouts for semantic space segmentation; and polygonal obstacles containing geometry information for efficient motion planning. For exploration and simultaneous trolley collection, we propose an efficient exploration-based object search method. First, a traveling salesman problem with precedence constraints (TSP-PC) is formulated by grouping frontiers and object proposals. The next target is selected by prioritizing object search while avoiding excessive robot backtracking. Then, feasible trajectories with adequate obstacle clearance are generated by topological graph search. We validate the proposed framework through simulations and demonstrate the system with real-world autonomous trolley collection tasks.
This paper introduces a new neural-network-based approach, namely In-Context Operator Networks (ICON), to simultaneously learn operators from the prompted data and apply it to new questions during the inference stage, without any weight update. Existing methods are limited to using a neural network to approximate a specific equation solution or a specific operator, requiring retraining when switching to a new problem with different equations. By training a single neural network as an operator learner, we can not only get rid of retraining (even fine-tuning) the neural network for new problems, but also leverage the commonalities shared across operators so that only a few demos in the prompt are needed when learning a new operator. Our numerical results show the neural network's capability as a few-shot operator learner for a diversified type of differential equation problems, including forward and inverse problems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), partial differential equations (PDEs), and mean-field control (MFC) problems, and also show that it can generalize its learning capability to operators beyond the training distribution.
In this paper, we present a novel method to automatically classify medical images that learns and leverages weak causal signals in the image. Our framework consists of a convolutional neural network backbone and a causality-extractor module that extracts cause-effect relationships between feature maps that can inform the model on the appearance of a feature in one place of the image, given the presence of another feature within some other place of the image. To evaluate the effectiveness of our approach in low-data scenarios, we train our causality-driven architecture in a One-shot learning scheme, where we propose a new meta-learning procedure entailing meta-training and meta-testing tasks that are designed using related classes but at different levels of granularity. We conduct binary and multi-class classification experiments on a publicly available dataset of prostate MRI images. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed causality-driven module, we perform an ablation study and conduct qualitative assessments using class activation maps to highlight regions strongly influencing the network's decision-making process. Our findings show that causal relationships among features play a crucial role in enhancing the model's ability to discern relevant information and yielding more reliable and interpretable predictions. This would make it a promising approach for medical image classification tasks.
In this paper, we aim at maximizing the weighted sum-rate (WSR) of rate splitting multiple access (RSMA) in multi-user multi-antenna transmission networks through the joint optimization of rate allocation and beamforming. Unlike conventional methods like weighted minimum mean square error (WMMSE) and standard fractional programming (FP), which tackle the non-convex WSR problem iteratively using disciplined convex subproblems and optimization toolboxes, our work pioneers a novel toolbox-free approach. For the first time, we identify the optimal beamforming structure and common rate allocation for WSR maximization in RSMA by leveraging FP and Lagrangian duality. Then we propose an algorithm based on FP and fixed point iteration to optimize the beamforming and common rate allocation without the need for optimization toolboxes. Our numerical results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm attains the same performance as standard FP and classical WMMSE methods while significantly reducing computational time.
In this paper, we propose simultaneous transmitting and reflecting reconfigurable intelligent surface (STAR-RIS) assisted non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) networks. The considered STAR-RIS utilizes the mode switching (MS) protocol to serve multiple NOMA users located on both sides of the RIS surface. Based on the MS protocol, each STAR-RIS element can operate in full transmission or reflection mode. Within this perspective, we propose a novel algorithm to partition the STAR-RIS surface among the available users. This algorithm aims to determine the proper number of transmitting/reflecting elements needs to be assigned to each user in order to maximize the system sum-rate while guaranteeing the quality-of-service requirements for individual users. For the proposed system, we derive closed-form analytical expressions for the outage probability (OP) and its corresponding asymptotic behavior under different user deployments. Finally, Monte Carlo simulations are performed in order to verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis. It is shown that the proposed system outperforms the classical NOMA and orthogonal multiple access systems in terms of OP and sum-rate.
In this paper, we introduce the Reinforced Mnemonic Reader for machine reading comprehension tasks, which enhances previous attentive readers in two aspects. First, a reattention mechanism is proposed to refine current attentions by directly accessing to past attentions that are temporally memorized in a multi-round alignment architecture, so as to avoid the problems of attention redundancy and attention deficiency. Second, a new optimization approach, called dynamic-critical reinforcement learning, is introduced to extend the standard supervised method. It always encourages to predict a more acceptable answer so as to address the convergence suppression problem occurred in traditional reinforcement learning algorithms. Extensive experiments on the Stanford Question Answering Dataset (SQuAD) show that our model achieves state-of-the-art results. Meanwhile, our model outperforms previous systems by over 6% in terms of both Exact Match and F1 metrics on two adversarial SQuAD datasets.
In this paper, we propose a conceptually simple and geometrically interpretable objective function, i.e. additive margin Softmax (AM-Softmax), for deep face verification. In general, the face verification task can be viewed as a metric learning problem, so learning large-margin face features whose intra-class variation is small and inter-class difference is large is of great importance in order to achieve good performance. Recently, Large-margin Softmax and Angular Softmax have been proposed to incorporate the angular margin in a multiplicative manner. In this work, we introduce a novel additive angular margin for the Softmax loss, which is intuitively appealing and more interpretable than the existing works. We also emphasize and discuss the importance of feature normalization in the paper. Most importantly, our experiments on LFW BLUFR and MegaFace show that our additive margin softmax loss consistently performs better than the current state-of-the-art methods using the same network architecture and training dataset. Our code has also been made available at //github.com/happynear/AMSoftmax
We study the problem of learning to reason in large scale knowledge graphs (KGs). More specifically, we describe a novel reinforcement learning framework for learning multi-hop relational paths: we use a policy-based agent with continuous states based on knowledge graph embeddings, which reasons in a KG vector space by sampling the most promising relation to extend its path. In contrast to prior work, our approach includes a reward function that takes the accuracy, diversity, and efficiency into consideration. Experimentally, we show that our proposed method outperforms a path-ranking based algorithm and knowledge graph embedding methods on Freebase and Never-Ending Language Learning datasets.
