Popular guidance for denoising diffusion probabilistic model (DDPM) linearly combines distinct conditional models together to provide enhanced control over samples. However, this approach overlooks nonlinear effects that become significant when guidance scale is large. To address this issue, we propose characteristic guidance, a guidance method that provides first-principle non-linear correction for classifier-free guidance. Such correction forces the guided DDPMs to respect the Fokker-Planck (FP) equation of diffusion process, in a way that is training-free and compatible with existing sampling methods. Experiments show that characteristic guidance enhances semantic characteristics of prompts and mitigate irregularities in image generation, proving effective in diverse applications ranging from simulating magnet phase transitions to latent space sampling.

Agent-based models (ABMs) have shown promise for modelling various real world phenomena incompatible with traditional equilibrium analysis. However, a critical concern is the manual definition of behavioural rules in ABMs. Recent developments in multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) offer a way to address this issue from an optimisation perspective, where agents strive to maximise their utility, eliminating the need for manual rule specification. This learning-focused approach aligns with established economic and financial models through the use of rational utility-maximising agents. However, this representation departs from the fundamental motivation for ABMs: that realistic dynamics emerging from bounded rationality and agent heterogeneity can be modelled. To resolve this apparent disparity between the two approaches, we propose a novel technique for representing heterogeneous processing-constrained agents within a MARL framework. The proposed approach treats agents as constrained optimisers with varying degrees of strategic skills, permitting departure from strict utility maximisation. Behaviour is learnt through repeated simulations with policy gradients to adjust action likelihoods. To allow efficient computation, we use parameterised shared policy learning with distributions of agent skill levels. Shared policy learning avoids the need for agents to learn individual policies yet still enables a spectrum of bounded rational behaviours. We validate our model's effectiveness using real-world data on a range of canonical $n$-agent settings, demonstrating significantly improved predictive capability.

Number theoretic transform (NTT) has been a very useful tool in computations for number theory, algebra and cryptography. Its performance affects some post-quantum cryptosystems. In this paper, we discuss the butterfly operation of NTT. This basic module of NTT requires heavy modular arithmetics. Montgomery reduction is commonly used in this setting. Recently several variants of Montgomery algorithm have been proposed for the purpose of speeding up NTT. We observe that the Chinese remainder theorem (CRT) can be involved in this type of algorithms in nature and transparent ways. In this paper, a framework of using CRT to model Montgomery type algorithms is described. The derivation of these algorithms as well as their correctness are all treated in the CRT framework. Under our approach, some problems of a modular reduction algorithm (published in IACR Transactions on Cryptographic Hardware and Embedded Systems, doi:10.46586/tches.v2022.i4.614-636 ) are identified, and a counterexample is generated to show that the algorithm is incorrect.

Gaussian processes (GPs) based methods for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) demonstrate great promise by bridging the gap between the theoretical rigor of traditional numerical algorithms and the flexible design of machine learning solvers. The main bottleneck of GP methods lies in the inversion of a covariance matrix, whose cost grows cubically concerning the size of samples. Drawing inspiration from neural networks, we propose a mini-batch algorithm combined with GPs to solve nonlinear PDEs. A naive deployment of a stochastic gradient descent method for solving PDEs with GPs is challenging, as the objective function in the requisite minimization problem cannot be depicted as the expectation of a finite-dimensional random function. To address this issue, we employ a mini-batch method to the corresponding infinite-dimensional minimization problem over function spaces. The algorithm takes a mini-batch of samples at each step to update the GP model. Thus, the computational cost is allotted to each iteration. Using stability analysis and convexity arguments, we show that the mini-batch method steadily reduces a natural measure of errors towards zero at the rate of $O(1/K+1/M)$, where $K$ is the number of iterations and $M$ is the batch size.

Quantum computing holds immense potential for solving classically intractable problems by leveraging the unique properties of quantum mechanics. The scalability of quantum architectures remains a significant challenge. Multi-core quantum architectures are proposed to solve the scalability problem, arising a new set of challenges in hardware, communications and compilation, among others. One of these challenges is to adapt a quantum algorithm to fit within the different cores of the quantum computer. This paper presents a novel approach for circuit partitioning using Deep Reinforcement Learning, contributing to the advancement of both quantum computing and graph partitioning. This work is the first step in integrating Deep Reinforcement Learning techniques into Quantum Circuit Mapping, opening the door to a new paradigm of solutions to such problems.

Bayesian model updating facilitates the calibration of analytical models based on observations and the quantification of uncertainties in model parameters such as stiffness and mass. This process significantly enhances damage assessment and response predictions in existing civil structures. Predominantly, current methods employ modal properties identified from acceleration measurements to evaluate the likelihood of the model parameters. This modal analysis-based likelihood generally involves a prior assumption regarding the mass parameters. In civil structures, accurately determining mass parameters proves challenging owing to the time-varying nature of imposed loads. The resulting inaccuracy potentially introduces biases while estimating the stiffness parameters, which affects the assessment of structural response and associated damage. Addressing this issue, the present study introduces a stress-resultant-based approach for Bayesian model updating independent of mass assumptions. This approach utilizes system identification on strain and acceleration measurements to establish the relationship between nodal displacements and elemental stress resultants. Employing static analysis to depict this relationship aids in assessing the likelihood of stiffness parameters. Integrating this static-analysis-based likelihood with a modal-analysis-based likelihood facilitates the simultaneous estimation of mass and stiffness parameters. The proposed approach was validated using numerical examples on a planar frame and experimental studies on a full-scale moment-resisting steel frame structure.

We present a theoretical analysis of the performance of transformer with softmax attention in in-context learning with linear regression tasks. While the existing literature predominantly focuses on the convergence of transformers with single-/multi-head attention, our research centers on comparing their performance. We conduct an exact theoretical analysis to demonstrate that multi-head attention with a substantial embedding dimension performs better than single-head attention. When the number of in-context examples D increases, the prediction loss using single-/multi-head attention is in O(1/D), and the one for multi-head attention has a smaller multiplicative constant. In addition to the simplest data distribution setting, we consider more scenarios, e.g., noisy labels, local examples, correlated features, and prior knowledge. We observe that, in general, multi-head attention is preferred over single-head attention. Our results verify the effectiveness of the design of multi-head attention in the transformer architecture.

Knowledge graph reasoning (KGR), aiming to deduce new facts from existing facts based on mined logic rules underlying knowledge graphs (KGs), has become a fast-growing research direction. It has been proven to significantly benefit the usage of KGs in many AI applications, such as question answering and recommendation systems, etc. According to the graph types, the existing KGR models can be roughly divided into three categories, \textit{i.e.,} static models, temporal models, and multi-modal models. The early works in this domain mainly focus on static KGR and tend to directly apply general knowledge graph embedding models to the reasoning task. However, these models are not suitable for more complex but practical tasks, such as inductive static KGR, temporal KGR, and multi-modal KGR. To this end, multiple works have been developed recently, but no survey papers and open-source repositories comprehensively summarize and discuss models in this important direction. To fill the gap, we conduct a survey for knowledge graph reasoning tracing from static to temporal and then to multi-modal KGs. Concretely, the preliminaries, summaries of KGR models, and typical datasets are introduced and discussed consequently. Moreover, we discuss the challenges and potential opportunities. The corresponding open-source repository is shared on GitHub: //github.com/LIANGKE23/Awesome-Knowledge-Graph-Reasoning.

We introduce a generic framework that reduces the computational cost of object detection while retaining accuracy for scenarios where objects with varied sizes appear in high resolution images. Detection progresses in a coarse-to-fine manner, first on a down-sampled version of the image and then on a sequence of higher resolution regions identified as likely to improve the detection accuracy. Built upon reinforcement learning, our approach consists of a model (R-net) that uses coarse detection results to predict the potential accuracy gain for analyzing a region at a higher resolution and another model (Q-net) that sequentially selects regions to zoom in. Experiments on the Caltech Pedestrians dataset show that our approach reduces the number of processed pixels by over 50% without a drop in detection accuracy. The merits of our approach become more significant on a high resolution test set collected from YFCC100M dataset, where our approach maintains high detection performance while reducing the number of processed pixels by about 70% and the detection time by over 50%.
