This paper introduces a learnable Deformable Hypothesis Sampler (DeformSampler) to address the challenging issue of noisy depth estimation for accurate PatchMatch Multi-View Stereo (MVS). We observe that the heuristic depth hypothesis sampling modes employed by PatchMatch MVS solvers are insensitive to (i) the piece-wise smooth distribution of depths across the object surface, and (ii) the implicit multi-modal distribution of depth prediction probabilities along the ray direction on the surface points. Accordingly, we develop DeformSampler to learn distribution-sensitive sample spaces to (i) propagate depths consistent with the scene's geometry across the object surface, and (ii) fit a Laplace Mixture model that approaches the point-wise probabilities distribution of the actual depths along the ray direction. We integrate DeformSampler into a learnable PatchMatch MVS system to enhance depth estimation in challenging areas, such as piece-wise discontinuous surface boundaries and weakly-textured regions. Experimental results on DTU and Tanks \& Temples datasets demonstrate its superior performance and generalization capabilities compared to state-of-the-art competitors.

Conformal Prediction (CP) stands out as a robust framework for uncertainty quantification, which is crucial for ensuring the reliability of predictions. However, common CP methods heavily rely on data exchangeability, a condition often violated in practice. Existing approaches for tackling non-exchangeability lead to methods that are not computable beyond the simplest examples. This work introduces a new efficient approach to CP that produces provably valid confidence sets for fairly general non-exchangeable data distributions. We illustrate the general theory with applications to the challenging setting of federated learning under data heterogeneity between agents. Our method allows constructing provably valid personalized prediction sets for agents in a fully federated way. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated in a series of experiments on real-world datasets.

In recent years, considerable attention has been devoted to the regularization models due to the presence of high-dimensional data in scientific research. Sparse support vector machine (SVM) are useful tools in high-dimensional data analysis, and they have been widely used in the area of econometrics. Nevertheless, the non-smoothness of objective functions and constraints present computational challenges for many existing solvers in the presence of ultra-high dimensional covariates. In this paper, we design efficient and parallelizable algorithms for solving sparse SVM problems with high dimensional data through feature space split. The proposed algorithm is based on the alternating direction method of multiplier (ADMM). We establish the rate of convergence of the proposed ADMM method and compare it with existing solvers in various high and ultra-high dimensional settings. The compatibility of the proposed algorithm with parallel computing can further alleviate the storage and scalability limitations of a single machine in large-scale data processing.

Supervised speech enhancement has gained significantly from recent advancements in neural networks, especially due to their ability to non-linearly fit the diverse representations of target speech, such as waveform or spectrum. However, these direct-fitting solutions continue to face challenges with degraded speech and residual noise in hearing evaluations. By bridging the speech enhancement and the Information Bottleneck principle in this letter, we rethink a universal plug-and-play strategy and propose a Refining Underlying Information framework called RUI to rise to the challenges both in theory and practice. Specifically, we first transform the objective of speech enhancement into an incremental convergence problem of mutual information between comprehensive speech characteristics and individual speech characteristics, e.g., spectral and acoustic characteristics. By doing so, compared with the existing direct-fitting solutions, the underlying information stems from the conditional entropy of acoustic characteristic given spectral characteristics. Therefore, we design a dual-path multiple refinement iterator based on the chain rule of entropy to refine this underlying information for further approximating target speech. Experimental results on DNS-Challenge dataset show that our solution consistently improves 0.3+ PESQ score over baselines, with only additional 1.18 M parameters.

This paper presents a Gaussian Process (GP) framework, a non-parametric technique widely acknowledged for regression and classification tasks, to address inverse problems in mean field games (MFGs). By leveraging GPs, we aim to recover agents' strategic actions and the environment's configurations from partial and noisy observations of the population of agents and the setup of the environment. Our method is a probabilistic tool to infer the behaviors of agents in MFGs from data in scenarios where the comprehensive dataset is either inaccessible or contaminated by noises.

Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) face unique challenges in the era of big genomics data, particularly when dealing with ultra-high-dimensional datasets where the number of genetic features significantly exceeds the available samples. This paper introduces an extension to the feature selection methodology proposed by Mirzaei et al. (2020), specifically tailored to tackle the intricacies associated with ultra-high-dimensional GWAS data. Our extended approach enhances the original method by introducing a Frobenius norm penalty into the student network, augmenting its capacity to adapt to scenarios characterized by a multitude of features and limited samples. Operating seamlessly in both supervised and unsupervised settings, our method employs two key neural networks. The first leverages an autoencoder or supervised autoencoder for dimension reduction, extracting salient features from the ultra-high-dimensional genomic data. The second network, a regularized feed-forward model with a single hidden layer, is designed for precise feature selection. The introduction of the Frobenius norm penalty in the student network significantly boosts the method's resilience to the challenges posed by ultra-high-dimensional GWAS datasets. Experimental results showcase the efficacy of our approach in feature selection for GWAS data. The method not only handles the inherent complexities of ultra-high-dimensional settings but also demonstrates superior adaptability to the nuanced structures present in genomics data. The flexibility and versatility of our proposed methodology are underscored by its successful performance across a spectrum of experiments.

Recent progress in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly in the domain of large language models (LLMs), has resulted in powerful and versatile dual-use systems. This intelligence can be put towards a wide variety of beneficial tasks, yet it can also be used to cause harm. This study explores one such harm by examining how LLMs can be used for spear phishing, a form of cybercrime that involves manipulating targets into divulging sensitive information. I first explore LLMs' ability to assist with the reconnaissance and message generation stages of a spear phishing attack, where I find that LLMs are capable of assisting with the email generation phase of a spear phishing attack. To explore how LLMs could potentially be harnessed to scale spear phishing campaigns, I then create unique spear phishing messages for over 600 British Members of Parliament using OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 models. My findings provide some evidence that these messages are not only realistic but also cost-effective, with each email costing only a fraction of a cent to generate. Next, I demonstrate how basic prompt engineering can circumvent safeguards installed in LLMs, highlighting the need for further research into robust interventions that can help prevent models from being misused. To further address these evolving risks, I explore two potential solutions: structured access schemes, such as application programming interfaces, and LLM-based defensive systems.

We consider the problem of explaining the predictions of graph neural networks (GNNs), which otherwise are considered as black boxes. Existing methods invariably focus on explaining the importance of graph nodes or edges but ignore the substructures of graphs, which are more intuitive and human-intelligible. In this work, we propose a novel method, known as SubgraphX, to explain GNNs by identifying important subgraphs. Given a trained GNN model and an input graph, our SubgraphX explains its predictions by efficiently exploring different subgraphs with Monte Carlo tree search. To make the tree search more effective, we propose to use Shapley values as a measure of subgraph importance, which can also capture the interactions among different subgraphs. To expedite computations, we propose efficient approximation schemes to compute Shapley values for graph data. Our work represents the first attempt to explain GNNs via identifying subgraphs explicitly and directly. Experimental results show that our SubgraphX achieves significantly improved explanations, while keeping computations at a reasonable level.

Relation prediction for knowledge graphs aims at predicting missing relationships between entities. Despite the importance of inductive relation prediction, most previous works are limited to a transductive setting and cannot process previously unseen entities. The recent proposed subgraph-based relation reasoning models provided alternatives to predict links from the subgraph structure surrounding a candidate triplet inductively. However, we observe that these methods often neglect the directed nature of the extracted subgraph and weaken the role of relation information in the subgraph modeling. As a result, they fail to effectively handle the asymmetric/anti-symmetric triplets and produce insufficient embeddings for the target triplets. To this end, we introduce a \textbf{C}\textbf{o}mmunicative \textbf{M}essage \textbf{P}assing neural network for \textbf{I}nductive re\textbf{L}ation r\textbf{E}asoning, \textbf{CoMPILE}, that reasons over local directed subgraph structures and has a vigorous inductive bias to process entity-independent semantic relations. In contrast to existing models, CoMPILE strengthens the message interactions between edges and entitles through a communicative kernel and enables a sufficient flow of relation information. Moreover, we demonstrate that CoMPILE can naturally handle asymmetric/anti-symmetric relations without the need for explosively increasing the number of model parameters by extracting the directed enclosing subgraphs. Extensive experiments show substantial performance gains in comparison to state-of-the-art methods on commonly used benchmark datasets with variant inductive settings.

Multi-relation Question Answering is a challenging task, due to the requirement of elaborated analysis on questions and reasoning over multiple fact triples in knowledge base. In this paper, we present a novel model called Interpretable Reasoning Network that employs an interpretable, hop-by-hop reasoning process for question answering. The model dynamically decides which part of an input question should be analyzed at each hop; predicts a relation that corresponds to the current parsed results; utilizes the predicted relation to update the question representation and the state of the reasoning process; and then drives the next-hop reasoning. Experiments show that our model yields state-of-the-art results on two datasets. More interestingly, the model can offer traceable and observable intermediate predictions for reasoning analysis and failure diagnosis.
