An individualised head-related transfer function (HRTF) is very important for creating realistic virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) environments. However, acoustically measuring high-quality HRTFs requires expensive equipment and an acoustic lab setting. To overcome these limitations and to make this measurement more efficient HRTF upsampling has been exploited in the past where a high-resolution HRTF is created from a low-resolution one. This paper demonstrates how generative adversarial networks (GANs) can be applied to HRTF upsampling. We propose a novel approach that transforms the HRTF data for direct use with a convolutional super-resolution generative adversarial network (SRGAN). This new approach is benchmarked against three baselines: barycentric upsampling, spherical harmonic (SH) upsampling and an HRTF selection approach. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms all three baselines in terms of log-spectral distortion (LSD) and localisation performance using perceptual models when the input HRTF is sparse (less than 20 measured positions).

Latitude on the choice of initialisation is a shared feature between one-step extended state-space and multi-step methods. The paper focuses on lattice Boltzmann schemes, which can be interpreted as examples of both previous categories of numerical schemes. We propose a modified equation analysis of the initialisation schemes for lattice Boltzmann methods, determined by the choice of initial data. These modified equations provide guidelines to devise and analyze the initialisation in terms of order of consistency with respect to the target Cauchy problem and time smoothness of the numerical solution. In detail, the larger the number of matched terms between modified equations for initialisation and bulk methods, the smoother the obtained numerical solution. This is particularly manifest for numerical dissipation. Starting from the constraints to achieve time smoothness, which can quickly become prohibitive for they have to take the parasitic modes into consideration, we explain how the distinct lack of observability for certain lattice Boltzmann schemes -- seen as dynamical systems on a commutative ring -- can yield rather simple conditions and be easily studied as far as their initialisation is concerned. This comes from the reduced number of initialisation schemes at the fully discrete level. These theoretical results are successfully assessed on several lattice Boltzmann methods.

Stochastic Approximation (SA) was introduced in the early 1950's and has been an active area of research for several decades. While the initial focus was on statistical questions, it was seen to have applications to signal processing, convex optimisation. %Over the last decade, there has been a revival of interest in SA as In later years SA has found application in Reinforced Learning (RL) and led to revival of interest. While bulk of the literature is on SA for the case when the observations are from a finite dimensional Euclidian space, there has been interest in extending the same to infinite dimension. Extension to Hilbert spaces is relatively easier to do, but this is not so when we come to a Banach space - since in the case of a Banach space, even {\em law of large numbers} is not true in general. We consider some cases where approximation works in a Banach space. Our framework includes case when the Banach space $\Bb$ is $\Cb([0,1],\R^d)$, as well as $\L^1([0,1],\R^d)$, the two cases which do not even have the Radon-Nikodym property.

Principal component analysis (PCA) is a longstanding and well-studied approach for dimension reduction. It rests upon the assumption that the underlying signal in the data has low rank, and thus can be well-summarized using a small number of dimensions. The output of PCA is typically represented using a scree plot, which displays the proportion of variance explained (PVE) by each principal component. While the PVE is extensively reported in routine data analyses, to the best of our knowledge the notion of inference on the PVE remains unexplored. In this paper, we consider inference on the PVE. We first introduce a new population quantity for the PVE with respect to an unknown matrix mean. Critically, our interest lies in the PVE of the sample principal components (as opposed to unobserved population principal components); thus, the population PVE that we introduce is defined conditional on the sample singular vectors. We show that it is possible to conduct inference, in the sense of confidence intervals, p-values, and point estimates, on this population quantity. Furthermore, we can conduct valid inference on the PVE of a subset of the principal components, even when the subset is selected using a data-driven approach such as the elbow rule. We demonstrate the proposed approach in simulation and in an application to a gene expression dataset.

The Laplace eigenvalue problem on circular sectors has eigenfunctions with corner singularities. Standard methods may produce suboptimal approximation results. To address this issue, a novel numerical algorithm that enhances standard isogeometric analysis is proposed in this paper by using a single-patch graded mesh refinement scheme. Numerical tests demonstrate optimal convergence rates for both the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. Furthermore, the results show that smooth splines possess a superior approximation constant compared to their $C^0$-continuous counterparts for the lower part of the Laplace spectrum. This is an extension of previous findings about excellent spectral approximation properties of smooth splines on rectangular domains to circular sectors. In addition, graded meshes prove to be particularly advantageous for an accurate approximation of a limited number of eigenvalues. The novel algorithm applied here has a drawback in the singularity of the isogeometric parameterization. It results in some basis functions not belonging to the solution space of the corresponding weak problem, which is considered a variational crime. However, the approach proves to be robust. Finally, a hierarchical mesh structure is presented to avoid anisotropic elements, omit redundant degrees of freedom and keep the number of basis functions contributing to the variational crime constant, independent of the mesh size. Numerical results validate the effectiveness of hierarchical mesh grading for the simulation of eigenfunctions with and without corner singularities.

Interpolation of data on non-Euclidean spaces is an active research area fostered by its numerous applications. This work considers the Hermite interpolation problem: finding a sufficiently smooth manifold curve that interpolates a collection of data points on a Riemannian manifold while matching a prescribed derivative at each point. We propose a novel procedure relying on the general concept of retractions to solve this problem on a large class of manifolds, including those for which computing the Riemannian exponential or logarithmic maps is not straightforward, such as the manifold of fixed-rank matrices. We analyze the well-posedness of the method by introducing and showing the existence of retraction-convex sets, a generalization of geodesically convex sets. We extend to the manifold setting a classical result on the asymptotic interpolation error of Hermite interpolation. We finally illustrate these results and the effectiveness of the method with numerical experiments on the manifold of fixed-rank matrices and the Stiefel manifold of matrices with orthonormal columns.

Modern Out-of-Order (OoO) CPUs are complex systems with many components interleaved in non-trivial ways. Pinpointing performance bottlenecks and understanding the underlying causes of program performance issues are critical tasks to make the most of hardware resources. We provide an in-depth overview of performance bottlenecks in recent OoO microarchitectures and describe the difficulties of detecting them. Techniques that measure resources utilization can offer a good understanding of a program's execution, but, due to the constraints inherent to Performance Monitoring Units (PMU) of CPUs, do not provide the relevant metrics for each use case. Another approach is to rely on a performance model to simulate the CPU behavior. Such a model makes it possible to implement any new microarchitecture-related metric. Within this framework, we advocate for implementing modeled resources as parameters that can be varied at will to reveal performance bottlenecks. This allows a generalization of bottleneck analysis that we call sensitivity analysis. We present Gus, a novel performance analysis tool that combines the advantages of sensitivity analysis and dynamic binary instrumentation within a resource-centric CPU model. We evaluate the impact of sensitivity on bottleneck analysis over a set of high-performance computing kernels.

In a regression model with multiple response variables and multiple explanatory variables, if the difference of the mean vectors of the response variables for different values of explanatory variables is always in the direction of the first principal eigenvector of the covariance matrix of the response variables, then it is called a multivariate allometric regression model. This paper studies the estimation of the first principal eigenvector in the multivariate allometric regression model. A class of estimators that includes conventional estimators is proposed based on weighted sum-of-squares matrices of regression sum-of-squares matrix and residual sum-of-squares matrix. We establish an upper bound of the mean squared error of the estimators contained in this class, and the weight value minimizing the upper bound is derived. Sufficient conditions for the consistency of the estimators are discussed in weak identifiability regimes under which the difference of the largest and second largest eigenvalues of the covariance matrix decays asymptotically and in ``large $p$, large $n$" regimes, where $p$ is the number of response variables and $n$ is the sample size. Several numerical results are also presented.

Increasing evidence shows that flaws in machine learning (ML) algorithm validation are an underestimated global problem. Particularly in automatic biomedical image analysis, chosen performance metrics often do not reflect the domain interest, thus failing to adequately measure scientific progress and hindering translation of ML techniques into practice. To overcome this, our large international expert consortium created Metrics Reloaded, a comprehensive framework guiding researchers in the problem-aware selection of metrics. Following the convergence of ML methodology across application domains, Metrics Reloaded fosters the convergence of validation methodology. The framework was developed in a multi-stage Delphi process and is based on the novel concept of a problem fingerprint - a structured representation of the given problem that captures all aspects that are relevant for metric selection, from the domain interest to the properties of the target structure(s), data set and algorithm output. Based on the problem fingerprint, users are guided through the process of choosing and applying appropriate validation metrics while being made aware of potential pitfalls. Metrics Reloaded targets image analysis problems that can be interpreted as a classification task at image, object or pixel level, namely image-level classification, object detection, semantic segmentation, and instance segmentation tasks. To improve the user experience, we implemented the framework in the Metrics Reloaded online tool, which also provides a point of access to explore weaknesses, strengths and specific recommendations for the most common validation metrics. The broad applicability of our framework across domains is demonstrated by an instantiation for various biological and medical image analysis use cases.

Graph-centric artificial intelligence (graph AI) has achieved remarkable success in modeling interacting systems prevalent in nature, from dynamical systems in biology to particle physics. The increasing heterogeneity of data calls for graph neural architectures that can combine multiple inductive biases. However, combining data from various sources is challenging because appropriate inductive bias may vary by data modality. Multimodal learning methods fuse multiple data modalities while leveraging cross-modal dependencies to address this challenge. Here, we survey 140 studies in graph-centric AI and realize that diverse data types are increasingly brought together using graphs and fed into sophisticated multimodal models. These models stratify into image-, language-, and knowledge-grounded multimodal learning. We put forward an algorithmic blueprint for multimodal graph learning based on this categorization. The blueprint serves as a way to group state-of-the-art architectures that treat multimodal data by choosing appropriately four different components. This effort can pave the way for standardizing the design of sophisticated multimodal architectures for highly complex real-world problems.
