The functional linear model is an important extension of the classical regression model allowing for scalar responses to be modeled as functions of stochastic processes. Yet, despite the usefulness and popularity of the functional linear model in recent years, most treatments, theoretical and practical alike, suffer either from (i) lack of resistance towards the many types of anomalies one may encounter with functional data or (ii) biases resulting from the use of discretely sampled functional data instead of completely observed data. To address these deficiencies, this paper introduces and studies the first class of robust functional regression estimators for partially observed functional data. The proposed broad class of estimators is based on thin-plate splines with a novel computationally efficient quadratic penalty, is easily implementable and enjoys good theoretical properties under weak assumptions. We show that, in the incomplete data setting, both the sample size and discretization error of the processes determine the asymptotic rate of convergence of functional regression estimators and the latter cannot be ignored. These theoretical properties remain valid even with multi-dimensional random fields acting as predictors and random smoothing parameters. The effectiveness of the proposed class of estimators in practice is demonstrated by means of a simulation study and a real-data example.

This paper considers the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear dynamic string equation of Kirchhoff-type with time-varying coefficients. The objective of this work is to develop a time domain discretization algorithm capable of approximating a solution to this initial-boundary value problem. To this end, a symmetric three-layer semi-discrete scheme is employed with respect to the temporal variable, wherein the value of a nonlinear term is evaluated at the middle node point. This approach enables the numerical solutions per temporal step to be obtained by inverting the linear operators, yielding a system of second-order linear ordinary differential equations. Local convergence of the proposed scheme is established, and it achieves quadratic convergence regarding the step size of the discretization of time on the local temporal interval. We have conducted several numerical experiments using the proposed algorithm for various test problems to validate its performance. It can be said that the obtained numerical results are in accordance with the theoretical findings.

We propose a new matrix factor model, named RaDFaM, the latent structure of which is strictly derived based on a hierarchical rank decomposition of a matrix. Hierarchy is in the sense that all basis vectors of the column space of each multiplier matrix are assumed the structure of a vector factor model. Compared to the most commonly used matrix factor model that takes the latent structure of a bilinear form, RaDFaM involves additional row-wise and column-wise matrix latent factors. This yields modest dimension reduction and stronger signal intensity from the sight of tensor subspace learning, though poses challenges of new estimation procedure and concomitant inferential theory for a collection of matrix-valued observations. We develop a class of estimation procedure that makes use of the separable covariance structure under RaDFaM and approximate least squares, and derive its superiority in the merit of the peak signal-to-noise ratio. We also establish the asymptotic theory when the matrix-valued observations are uncorrelated or weakly correlated. Numerically, in terms of image/matrix reconstruction, supervised learning, and so forth, we demonstrate the excellent performance of RaDFaM through two matrix-valued sequence datasets of independent 2D images and multinational macroeconomic indices time series, respectively.

We study the fundamental problem of estimating the mean of a $d$-dimensional distribution with covariance $\Sigma \preccurlyeq \sigma^2 I_d$ given $n$ samples. When $d = 1$, Catoni \cite{catoni} showed an estimator with error $(1+o(1)) \cdot \sigma \sqrt{\frac{2 \log \frac{1}{\delta}}{n}}$, with probability $1 - \delta$, matching the Gaussian error rate. For $d>1$, a natural estimator outputs the center of the minimum enclosing ball of one-dimensional confidence intervals to achieve a $1-\delta$ confidence radius of $\sqrt{\frac{2 d}{d+1}} \cdot \sigma \left(\sqrt{\frac{d}{n}} + \sqrt{\frac{2 \log \frac{1}{\delta}}{n}}\right)$, incurring a $\sqrt{\frac{2d}{d+1}}$-factor loss over the Gaussian rate. When the $\sqrt{\frac{d}{n}}$ term dominates by a $\sqrt{\log \frac{1}{\delta}}$ factor, \cite{lee2022optimal-highdim} showed an improved estimator matching the Gaussian rate. This raises a natural question: is the Gaussian rate achievable in general? Or is the $\sqrt{\frac{2 d}{d+1}}$ loss \emph{necessary} when the $\sqrt{\frac{2 \log \frac{1}{\delta}}{n}}$ term dominates? We show that the answer to both these questions is \emph{no} -- we show that \emph{some} constant-factor loss over the Gaussian rate is necessary, but construct an estimator that improves over the above naive estimator by a constant factor. We also consider robust estimation, where an adversary is allowed to corrupt an $\epsilon$-fraction of samples arbitrarily: in this case, we show that the above strategy of combining one-dimensional estimates and incurring the $\sqrt{\frac{2d}{d+1}}$-factor \emph{is} optimal in the infinite-sample limit.

The existence of representative datasets is a prerequisite of many successful artificial intelligence and machine learning models. However, the subsequent application of these models often involves scenarios that are inadequately represented in the data used for training. The reasons for this are manifold and range from time and cost constraints to ethical considerations. As a consequence, the reliable use of these models, especially in safety-critical applications, is a huge challenge. Leveraging additional, already existing sources of knowledge is key to overcome the limitations of purely data-driven approaches, and eventually to increase the generalization capability of these models. Furthermore, predictions that conform with knowledge are crucial for making trustworthy and safe decisions even in underrepresented scenarios. This work provides an overview of existing techniques and methods in the literature that combine data-based models with existing knowledge. The identified approaches are structured according to the categories integration, extraction and conformity. Special attention is given to applications in the field of autonomous driving.

As soon as abstract mathematical computations were adapted to computation on digital computers, the problem of efficient representation, manipulation, and communication of the numerical values in those computations arose. Strongly related to the problem of numerical representation is the problem of quantization: in what manner should a set of continuous real-valued numbers be distributed over a fixed discrete set of numbers to minimize the number of bits required and also to maximize the accuracy of the attendant computations? This perennial problem of quantization is particularly relevant whenever memory and/or computational resources are severely restricted, and it has come to the forefront in recent years due to the remarkable performance of Neural Network models in computer vision, natural language processing, and related areas. Moving from floating-point representations to low-precision fixed integer values represented in four bits or less holds the potential to reduce the memory footprint and latency by a factor of 16x; and, in fact, reductions of 4x to 8x are often realized in practice in these applications. Thus, it is not surprising that quantization has emerged recently as an important and very active sub-area of research in the efficient implementation of computations associated with Neural Networks. In this article, we survey approaches to the problem of quantizing the numerical values in deep Neural Network computations, covering the advantages/disadvantages of current methods. With this survey and its organization, we hope to have presented a useful snapshot of the current research in quantization for Neural Networks and to have given an intelligent organization to ease the evaluation of future research in this area.

Neural machine translation (NMT) is a deep learning based approach for machine translation, which yields the state-of-the-art translation performance in scenarios where large-scale parallel corpora are available. Although the high-quality and domain-specific translation is crucial in the real world, domain-specific corpora are usually scarce or nonexistent, and thus vanilla NMT performs poorly in such scenarios. Domain adaptation that leverages both out-of-domain parallel corpora as well as monolingual corpora for in-domain translation, is very important for domain-specific translation. In this paper, we give a comprehensive survey of the state-of-the-art domain adaptation techniques for NMT.

We propose a novel approach to multimodal sentiment analysis using deep neural networks combining visual analysis and natural language processing. Our goal is different than the standard sentiment analysis goal of predicting whether a sentence expresses positive or negative sentiment; instead, we aim to infer the latent emotional state of the user. Thus, we focus on predicting the emotion word tags attached by users to their Tumblr posts, treating these as "self-reported emotions." We demonstrate that our multimodal model combining both text and image features outperforms separate models based solely on either images or text. Our model's results are interpretable, automatically yielding sensible word lists associated with emotions. We explore the structure of emotions implied by our model and compare it to what has been posited in the psychology literature, and validate our model on a set of images that have been used in psychology studies. Finally, our work also provides a useful tool for the growing academic study of images - both photographs and memes - on social networks.

Object detection typically assumes that training and test data are drawn from an identical distribution, which, however, does not always hold in practice. Such a distribution mismatch will lead to a significant performance drop. In this work, we aim to improve the cross-domain robustness of object detection. We tackle the domain shift on two levels: 1) the image-level shift, such as image style, illumination, etc, and 2) the instance-level shift, such as object appearance, size, etc. We build our approach based on the recent state-of-the-art Faster R-CNN model, and design two domain adaptation components, on image level and instance level, to reduce the domain discrepancy. The two domain adaptation components are based on H-divergence theory, and are implemented by learning a domain classifier in adversarial training manner. The domain classifiers on different levels are further reinforced with a consistency regularization to learn a domain-invariant region proposal network (RPN) in the Faster R-CNN model. We evaluate our newly proposed approach using multiple datasets including Cityscapes, KITTI, SIM10K, etc. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed approach for robust object detection in various domain shift scenarios.

While it is nearly effortless for humans to quickly assess the perceptual similarity between two images, the underlying processes are thought to be quite complex. Despite this, the most widely used perceptual metrics today, such as PSNR and SSIM, are simple, shallow functions, and fail to account for many nuances of human perception. Recently, the deep learning community has found that features of the VGG network trained on the ImageNet classification task has been remarkably useful as a training loss for image synthesis. But how perceptual are these so-called "perceptual losses"? What elements are critical for their success? To answer these questions, we introduce a new Full Reference Image Quality Assessment (FR-IQA) dataset of perceptual human judgments, orders of magnitude larger than previous datasets. We systematically evaluate deep features across different architectures and tasks and compare them with classic metrics. We find that deep features outperform all previous metrics by huge margins. More surprisingly, this result is not restricted to ImageNet-trained VGG features, but holds across different deep architectures and levels of supervision (supervised, self-supervised, or even unsupervised). Our results suggest that perceptual similarity is an emergent property shared across deep visual representations.
