Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are the predominant model used for a variety of medical image analysis tasks. At inference time, these models are computationally intensive, especially with volumetric data. In principle, it is possible to trade accuracy for computational efficiency by manipulating the rescaling factor in the downsample and upsample layers of CNN architectures. However, properly exploring the accuracy-efficiency trade-off is prohibitively expensive with existing models. To address this, we introduce Scale-Space HyperNetworks (SSHN), a method that learns a spectrum of CNNs with varying internal rescaling factors. A single SSHN characterizes an entire Pareto accuracy-efficiency curve of models that match, and occasionally surpass, the outcomes of training many separate networks with fixed rescaling factors. We demonstrate the proposed approach in several medical image analysis applications, comparing SSHN against strategies with both fixed and dynamic rescaling factors. We find that SSHN consistently provides a better accuracy-efficiency trade-off at a fraction of the training cost. Trained SSHNs enable the user to quickly choose a rescaling factor that appropriately balances accuracy and computational efficiency for their particular needs at inference.

Dynamic learning systems subject to selective labeling exhibit censoring, i.e. persistent negative predictions assigned to one or more subgroups of points. In applications like consumer finance, this results in groups of applicants that are persistently denied and thus never enter into the training data. In this work, we formalize censoring, demonstrate how it can arise, and highlight difficulties in detection. We consider safeguards against censoring - recourse and randomized-exploration - both of which ensure we collect labels for points that would otherwise go unobserved. The resulting techniques allow examples from censored groups to enter into the training data and correct the model. Our results highlight the otherwise unmeasured harms of censoring and demonstrate the effectiveness of mitigation strategies across a range of data generating processes.

This paper addresses the important need for advanced techniques in continuously allocating workloads on shared infrastructures in data centers, a problem arising due to the growing popularity and scale of cloud computing. It particularly emphasizes the scarcity of research ensuring guaranteed capacity in capacity reservations during large-scale failures. To tackle these issues, the paper presents scalable solutions for resource management. It builds on the prior establishment of capacity reservation in cluster management systems and the two-level resource allocation problem addressed by the Resource Allowance System (RAS). Recognizing the limitations of Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) for server assignment in a dynamic environment, this paper proposes the use of Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL), which has been successful in achieving long-term optimal results for time-varying systems. A novel two-level design that utilizes a DRL-based algorithm is introduced to solve optimal server-to-reservation assignment, taking into account of fault tolerance, server movement minimization, and network affinity requirements due to the impracticality of directly applying DRL algorithms to large-scale instances with millions of decision variables. The paper explores the interconnection of these levels and the benefits of such an approach for achieving long-term optimal results in the context of large-scale cloud systems. We further show in the experiment section that our two-level DRL approach outperforms the MIP solver and heuristic approaches and exhibits significantly reduced computation time compared to the MIP solver. Specifically, our two-level DRL approach performs 15% better than the MIP solver on minimizing the overall cost. Also, it uses only 26 seconds to execute 30 rounds of decision making, while the MIP solver needs nearly an hour.

Recently, optimal time variable learning in deep neural networks (DNNs) was introduced in arXiv:2204.08528. In this manuscript we extend the concept by introducing a regularization term that directly relates to the time horizon in discrete dynamical systems. Furthermore, we propose an adaptive pruning approach for Residual Neural Networks (ResNets), which reduces network complexity without compromising expressiveness, while simultaneously decreasing training time. The results are illustrated by applying the proposed concepts to classification tasks on the well known MNIST and Fashion MNIST data sets. Our PyTorch code is available on //github.com/frederikkoehne/time_variable_learning.

The recurrent neural network has been greatly developed for effectively solving time-varying problems corresponding to complex environments. However, limited by the way of centralized processing, the model performance is greatly affected by factors like the silos problems of the models and data in reality. Therefore, the emergence of distributed artificial intelligence such as federated learning (FL) makes it possible for the dynamic aggregation among models. However, the integration process of FL is still server-dependent, which may cause a great risk to the overall model. Also, it only allows collaboration between homogeneous models, and does not have a good solution for the interaction between heterogeneous models. Therefore, we propose a Distributed Computation Model (DCM) based on the consortium blockchain network to improve the credibility of the overall model and effective coordination among heterogeneous models. In addition, a Distributed Hierarchical Integration (DHI) algorithm is also designed for the global solution process. Within a group, permissioned nodes collect the local models' results from different permissionless nodes and then sends the aggregated results back to all the permissionless nodes to regularize the processing of the local models. After the iteration is completed, the secondary integration of the local results will be performed between permission nodes to obtain the global results. In the experiments, we verify the efficiency of DCM, where the results show that the proposed model outperforms many state-of-the-art models based on a federated learning framework.

Modern multi-layer networks are commonly stored and analyzed in a local and distributed fashion because of the privacy, ownership, and communication costs. The literature on the model-based statistical methods for community detection based on these data is still limited. This paper proposes a new method for consensus community detection and estimation in a multi-layer stochastic block model using locally stored and computed network data with privacy protection. A novel algorithm named privacy-preserving Distributed Spectral Clustering (ppDSC) is developed. To preserve the edges' privacy, we adopt the randomized response (RR) mechanism to perturb the network edges, which satisfies the strong notion of differential privacy. The ppDSC algorithm is performed on the squared RR-perturbed adjacency matrices to prevent possible cancellation of communities among different layers. To remove the bias incurred by RR and the squared network matrices, we develop a two-step bias-adjustment procedure. Then we perform eigen-decomposition on the debiased matrices, aggregation of the local eigenvectors using an orthogonal Procrustes transformation, and k-means clustering. We provide theoretical analysis on the statistical errors of ppDSC in terms of eigen-vector estimation. In addition, the blessings and curses of network heterogeneity are well-explained by our bounds.

Federated learning is a privacy-enforcing machine learning technology but suffers from limited scalability. This limitation mostly originates from the internet connection and memory capacity of the central parameter server, and the complexity of the model aggregation function. Decentralized learning has recently been emerging as a promising alternative to federated learning. This novel technology eliminates the need for a central parameter server by decentralizing the model aggregation across all participating nodes. Numerous studies have been conducted on improving the resilience of federated learning against poisoning and Sybil attacks, whereas the resilience of decentralized learning remains largely unstudied. This research gap serves as the main motivator for this study, in which our objective is to improve the Sybil poisoning resilience of decentralized learning. We present SybilWall, an innovative algorithm focused on increasing the resilience of decentralized learning against targeted Sybil poisoning attacks. By combining a Sybil-resistant aggregation function based on similarity between Sybils with a novel probabilistic gossiping mechanism, we establish a new benchmark for scalable, Sybil-resilient decentralized learning. A comprehensive empirical evaluation demonstrated that SybilWall outperforms existing state-of-the-art solutions designed for federated learning scenarios and is the only algorithm to obtain consistent accuracy over a range of adversarial attack scenarios. We also found SybilWall to diminish the utility of creating many Sybils, as our evaluations demonstrate a higher success rate among adversaries employing fewer Sybils. Finally, we suggest a number of possible improvements to SybilWall and highlight promising future research directions.

Effective multi-robot teams require the ability to move to goals in complex environments in order to address real-world applications such as search and rescue. Multi-robot teams should be able to operate in a completely decentralized manner, with individual robot team members being capable of acting without explicit communication between neighbors. In this paper, we propose a novel game theoretic model that enables decentralized and communication-free navigation to a goal position. Robots each play their own distributed game by estimating the behavior of their local teammates in order to identify behaviors that move them in the direction of the goal, while also avoiding obstacles and maintaining team cohesion without collisions. We prove theoretically that generated actions approach a Nash equilibrium, which also corresponds to an optimal strategy identified for each robot. We show through extensive simulations that our approach enables decentralized and communication-free navigation by a multi-robot system to a goal position, and is able to avoid obstacles and collisions, maintain connectivity, and respond robustly to sensor noise.

Recent years have witnessed significant advances in technologies and services in modern network applications, including smart grid management, wireless communication, cybersecurity as well as multi-agent autonomous systems. Considering the heterogeneous nature of networked entities, emerging network applications call for game-theoretic models and learning-based approaches in order to create distributed network intelligence that responds to uncertainties and disruptions in a dynamic or an adversarial environment. This paper articulates the confluence of networks, games and learning, which establishes a theoretical underpinning for understanding multi-agent decision-making over networks. We provide an selective overview of game-theoretic learning algorithms within the framework of stochastic approximation theory, and associated applications in some representative contexts of modern network systems, such as the next generation wireless communication networks, the smart grid and distributed machine learning. In addition to existing research works on game-theoretic learning over networks, we highlight several new angles and research endeavors on learning in games that are related to recent developments in artificial intelligence. Some of the new angles extrapolate from our own research interests. The overall objective of the paper is to provide the reader a clear picture of the strengths and challenges of adopting game-theoretic learning methods within the context of network systems, and further to identify fruitful future research directions on both theoretical and applied studies.

Graph neural networks (GNNs) are a popular class of machine learning models whose major advantage is their ability to incorporate a sparse and discrete dependency structure between data points. Unfortunately, GNNs can only be used when such a graph-structure is available. In practice, however, real-world graphs are often noisy and incomplete or might not be available at all. With this work, we propose to jointly learn the graph structure and the parameters of graph convolutional networks (GCNs) by approximately solving a bilevel program that learns a discrete probability distribution on the edges of the graph. This allows one to apply GCNs not only in scenarios where the given graph is incomplete or corrupted but also in those where a graph is not available. We conduct a series of experiments that analyze the behavior of the proposed method and demonstrate that it outperforms related methods by a significant margin.
