Deep learning models for multimodal expression recognition have reached remarkable performance in controlled laboratory environments because of their ability to learn complementary and redundant semantic information. However, these models struggle in the wild, mainly because of the unavailability and quality of modalities used for training. In practice, only a subset of the training-time modalities may be available at test time. Learning with privileged information enables models to exploit data from additional modalities that are only available during training. State-of-the-art knowledge distillation (KD) methods have been proposed to distill information from multiple teacher models (each trained on a modality) to a common student model. These privileged KD methods typically utilize point-to-point matching, yet have no explicit mechanism to capture the structural information in the teacher representation space formed by introducing the privileged modality. Experiments were performed on two challenging problems - pain estimation on the Biovid dataset (ordinal classification) and arousal-valance prediction on the Affwild2 dataset (regression). Results show that our proposed method can outperform state-of-the-art privileged KD methods on these problems. The diversity among modalities and fusion architectures indicates that PKDOT is modality- and model-agnostic.

We propose hardware-oriented models of intrinsic plasticity (IP) and synaptic plasticity (SP) for spiking randomly connected recursive neural network (RNN). Although the potential of RNNs for temporal data processing has been demonstrated, randomness of the network architecture often causes performance degradation. Self-organization mechanism using IP and SP can mitigate the degradation, therefore, we compile these functions in a spiking neuronal model. To implement the function of IP, a variable firing threshold is introduced to each excitatory neuron in the RNN that changes stepwise in accordance with its activity. We also define other thresholds for SP that synchronize with the firing threshold, which determine the direction of stepwise synaptic update that is executed on receiving a pre-synaptic spike. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our model through simulations of temporal data learning and anomaly detection with a spiking RNN using publicly available electrocardiograms. Considering hardware implementation, we employ discretized thresholds and synaptic weights and show that these parameters can be reduced to binary if the RNN architecture is appropriately designed. This contributes to minimization of the circuit of the neuronal system having IP and SP.

We investigate the role of various demonstration components in the in-context learning (ICL) performance of large language models (LLMs). Specifically, we explore the impacts of ground-truth labels, input distribution, and complementary explanations, particularly when these are altered or perturbed. We build on previous work, which offers mixed findings on how these elements influence ICL. To probe these questions, we employ explainable NLP (XNLP) methods and utilize saliency maps of contrastive demonstrations for both qualitative and quantitative analysis. Our findings reveal that flipping ground-truth labels significantly affects the saliency, though it's more noticeable in larger LLMs. Our analysis of the input distribution at a granular level reveals that changing sentiment-indicative terms in a sentiment analysis task to neutral ones does not have as substantial an impact as altering ground-truth labels. Finally, we find that the effectiveness of complementary explanations in boosting ICL performance is task-dependent, with limited benefits seen in sentiment analysis tasks compared to symbolic reasoning tasks. These insights are critical for understanding the functionality of LLMs and guiding the development of effective demonstrations, which is increasingly relevant in light of the growing use of LLMs in applications such as ChatGPT. Our research code is publicly available at //github.com/paihengxu/XICL.

The objective of this work is to evaluate multi-agent artificial intelligence methods when deployed on teams of unmanned surface vehicles (USV) in an adversarial environment. Autonomous agents were evaluated in real-world scenarios using the Aquaticus test-bed, which is a Capture-the-Flag (CTF) style competition involving teams of USV systems. Cooperative teaming algorithms of various foundations in behavior-based optimization and deep reinforcement learning (RL) were deployed on these USV systems in two versus two teams and tested against each other during a competition period in the fall of 2023. Deep reinforcement learning applied to USV agents was achieved via the Pyquaticus test bed, a lightweight gymnasium environment that allows simulated CTF training in a low-level environment. The results of the experiment demonstrate that rule-based cooperation for behavior-based agents outperformed those trained in Deep-reinforcement learning paradigms as implemented in these competitions. Further integration of the Pyquaticus gymnasium environment for RL with MOOS-IvP in terms of configuration and control schema will allow for more competitive CTF games in future studies. As the development of experimental deep RL methods continues, the authors expect that the competitive gap between behavior-based autonomy and deep RL will be reduced. As such, this report outlines the overall competition, methods, and results with an emphasis on future works such as reward shaping and sim-to-real methodologies and extending rule-based cooperation among agents to react to safety and security events in accordance with human experts intent/rules for executing safety and security processes.

With the rapid increase in machine learning workloads performed on HPC systems, it is beneficial to regularly perform machine learning specific benchmarks to monitor performance and identify issues. Furthermore, as part of the Edinburgh International Data Facility, EPCC currently hosts a wide range of machine learning accelerators including Nvidia GPUs, the Graphcore Bow Pod64 and Cerebras CS-2, which are managed via Kubernetes and Slurm. We extended the Reframe framework to support the Kubernetes scheduler backend, and utilise Reframe to perform machine learning benchmarks, and we discuss the preliminary results collected and challenges involved in integrating Reframe across multiple platforms and architectures.

We consider federated learning in tiered communication networks. Our network model consists of a set of silos, each holding a vertical partition of the data. Each silo contains a hub and a set of clients, with the silo's vertical data shard partitioned horizontally across its clients. We propose Tiered Decentralized Coordinate Descent (TDCD), a communication-efficient decentralized training algorithm for such two-tiered networks. The clients in each silo perform multiple local gradient steps before sharing updates with their hub to reduce communication overhead. Each hub adjusts its coordinates by averaging its workers' updates, and then hubs exchange intermediate updates with one another. We present a theoretical analysis of our algorithm and show the dependence of the convergence rate on the number of vertical partitions and the number of local updates. We further validate our approach empirically via simulation-based experiments using a variety of datasets and objectives.

Approaches based on deep neural networks have achieved striking performance when testing data and training data share similar distribution, but can significantly fail otherwise. Therefore, eliminating the impact of distribution shifts between training and testing data is crucial for building performance-promising deep models. Conventional methods assume either the known heterogeneity of training data (e.g. domain labels) or the approximately equal capacities of different domains. In this paper, we consider a more challenging case where neither of the above assumptions holds. We propose to address this problem by removing the dependencies between features via learning weights for training samples, which helps deep models get rid of spurious correlations and, in turn, concentrate more on the true connection between discriminative features and labels. Extensive experiments clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of our method on multiple distribution generalization benchmarks compared with state-of-the-art counterparts. Through extensive experiments on distribution generalization benchmarks including PACS, VLCS, MNIST-M, and NICO, we show the effectiveness of our method compared with state-of-the-art counterparts.

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have received considerable attention on graph-structured data learning for a wide variety of tasks. The well-designed propagation mechanism which has been demonstrated effective is the most fundamental part of GNNs. Although most of GNNs basically follow a message passing manner, litter effort has been made to discover and analyze their essential relations. In this paper, we establish a surprising connection between different propagation mechanisms with a unified optimization problem, showing that despite the proliferation of various GNNs, in fact, their proposed propagation mechanisms are the optimal solution optimizing a feature fitting function over a wide class of graph kernels with a graph regularization term. Our proposed unified optimization framework, summarizing the commonalities between several of the most representative GNNs, not only provides a macroscopic view on surveying the relations between different GNNs, but also further opens up new opportunities for flexibly designing new GNNs. With the proposed framework, we discover that existing works usually utilize naive graph convolutional kernels for feature fitting function, and we further develop two novel objective functions considering adjustable graph kernels showing low-pass or high-pass filtering capabilities respectively. Moreover, we provide the convergence proofs and expressive power comparisons for the proposed models. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets clearly show that the proposed GNNs not only outperform the state-of-the-art methods but also have good ability to alleviate over-smoothing, and further verify the feasibility for designing GNNs with our unified optimization framework.

Deep neural networks have revolutionized many machine learning tasks in power systems, ranging from pattern recognition to signal processing. The data in these tasks is typically represented in Euclidean domains. Nevertheless, there is an increasing number of applications in power systems, where data are collected from non-Euclidean domains and represented as the graph-structured data with high dimensional features and interdependency among nodes. The complexity of graph-structured data has brought significant challenges to the existing deep neural networks defined in Euclidean domains. Recently, many studies on extending deep neural networks for graph-structured data in power systems have emerged. In this paper, a comprehensive overview of graph neural networks (GNNs) in power systems is proposed. Specifically, several classical paradigms of GNNs structures (e.g., graph convolutional networks, graph recurrent neural networks, graph attention networks, graph generative networks, spatial-temporal graph convolutional networks, and hybrid forms of GNNs) are summarized, and key applications in power systems such as fault diagnosis, power prediction, power flow calculation, and data generation are reviewed in detail. Furthermore, main issues and some research trends about the applications of GNNs in power systems are discussed.

In this paper, we propose the joint learning attention and recurrent neural network (RNN) models for multi-label classification. While approaches based on the use of either model exist (e.g., for the task of image captioning), training such existing network architectures typically require pre-defined label sequences. For multi-label classification, it would be desirable to have a robust inference process, so that the prediction error would not propagate and thus affect the performance. Our proposed model uniquely integrates attention and Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) models, which not only addresses the above problem but also allows one to identify visual objects of interests with varying sizes without the prior knowledge of particular label ordering. More importantly, label co-occurrence information can be jointly exploited by our LSTM model. Finally, by advancing the technique of beam search, prediction of multiple labels can be efficiently achieved by our proposed network model.
