Language model training in distributed settings is limited by the communication cost of gradient exchanges. In this short note, we extend recent work from Malladi et al. (2023), using shared randomness to perform distributed fine-tuning with low bandwidth. The method is a natural decentralized extension of memory-efficient Simultaneous Perturbation Stochastic Approximation (SPSA). Each iteration, each machine seeds a Random Number Generator (RNG) to perform local reproducible perturbations on model weights and calculate and exchange scalar projected gradients, which are then used to update each model. By using a (machine, sample) identifier as the random seed, each model can regenerate one another's perturbations. As machines only exchange single-byte projected gradients, this is highly communication efficient. There are also potential privacy benefits, as projected gradients may be calculated on different training data, and models never access the other's data. Our approach not only drastically reduces communication bandwidth requirements but also accommodates dynamic addition or removal of machines during the training process and retains the memory-efficient and inference-only advantages of recent work. We perform proof-of-concept experiments to demonstrate the potential usefulness of this method, building off of rich literature on distributed optimization and memory-efficient training.

New technologies for sensing and communication act as enablers for cooperative driving applications. Sensors are able to detect objects in the surrounding environment and information such as their current location is exchanged among vehicles. In order to cope with the vehicles' mobility, such information is required to be as fresh as possible for proper operation of cooperative driving applications. The age of information (AoI) has been proposed as a metric for evaluating freshness of information; recently also within the context of intelligent transportation systems (ITS). We investigate mechanisms to reduce the AoI of data transported in form of beacon messages while controlling their emission rate. We aim to balance packet collision probability and beacon frequency using the average peak age of information (PAoI) as a metric. This metric, however, only accounts for the generation time of the data but not for application-specific aspects, such as the location of the transmitting vehicle. We thus propose a new way of interpreting the AoI by considering information context, thereby incorporating vehicles' locations. As an example, we characterize such importance using the orientation and the distance of the involved vehicles. In particular, we introduce a weighting coefficient used in combination with the PAoI to evaluate the information freshness, thus emphasizing on information from more important neighbors. We further design the beaconing approach in a way to meet a given AoI requirement, thus, saving resources on the wireless channel while keeping the AoI minimal. We illustrate the effectiveness of our approach in Manhattan-like urban scenarios, reaching pre-specified targets for the AoI of beacon messages.

UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) is rapidly gaining traction in various human activities and has become an integral component of the satellite-air-ground-sea (SAGS) integrated network. As high-speed moving objects, UAVs not only have extremely strict requirements for communication delay, but also cannot be maliciously controlled as a weapon by the attacker. Therefore, an efficient and secure communication method designed for UAV networks is necessary. We propose a communication mechanism ESCM. For high efficiency, ESCM provides a routing protocol based on the artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm to accelerate communications between UAVs. Meanwhile, we use blockchain to guarantee the security of UAV networks. However, blockchain has unstable links in high-mobility networks resulting in low consensus efficiency and high communication overhead. Consequently, ESCM introduces digital twin (DT), which transforms the UAV network into a static network by mapping UAVs from the physical world into Cyberspace. This virtual UAV network is called CyberUAV. Then, in CyberUAV, we design a blockchain consensus based on network coding, named Proof of Network Coding (PoNC). Analysis and simulation show that the above modules in ESCM have advantages over existing schemes. Through ablation studies, we demonstrate that these modules are indispensable for efficient and secure communication of UAV networks.

In this work, we establish a method for abstracting information from Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) into graphs. Such graph representations of CAE data can improve design guidelines and support recommendation systems by enabling the comparison of simulations, highlighting unexplored experimental designs, and correlating different designs. We focus on the load-path in crashworthiness analysis, a complex sub-discipline in vehicle design. The load-path is the sequence of parts that absorb most of the energy caused by the impact. To detect the load-path, we generate a directed weighted graph from the CAE data. The vertices represent the vehicle's parts, and the edges are an abstraction of the connectivity of the parts. The edge direction follows the temporal occurrence of the collision, where the edge weights reflect aspects of the energy absorption. We introduce and assess three methods for graph extraction and an additional method for further updating each graph with the sequences of absorption. Based on longest-path calculations, we introduce an automated detection of the load-path, which we analyse for the different graph extraction methods and weights. Finally, we show how our method for the detection of load-paths helps in the classification and labelling of CAE simulations.

This paper studies federated learning (FL)--especially cross-silo FL--with data from people who do not trust the server or other silos. In this setting, each silo (e.g. hospital) has data from different people (e.g. patients) and must maintain the privacy of each person's data (e.g. medical record), even if the server or other silos act as adversarial eavesdroppers. This requirement motivates the study of Inter-Silo Record-Level Differential Privacy (ISRL-DP), which requires silo i's communications to satisfy record/item-level differential privacy (DP). ISRL-DP ensures that the data of each person (e.g. patient) in silo i (e.g. hospital i) cannot be leaked. ISRL-DP is different from well-studied privacy notions. Central and user-level DP assume that people trust the server/other silos. On the other end of the spectrum, local DP assumes that people do not trust anyone at all (even their own silo). Sitting between central and local DP, ISRL-DP makes the realistic assumption (in cross-silo FL) that people trust their own silo, but not the server or other silos. In this work, we provide tight (up to logarithms) upper and lower bounds for ISRL-DP FL with convex/strongly convex loss functions and homogeneous (i.i.d.) silo data. Remarkably, we show that similar bounds are attainable for smooth losses with arbitrary heterogeneous silo data distributions, via an accelerated ISRL-DP algorithm. We also provide tight upper and lower bounds for ISRL-DP federated empirical risk minimization, and use acceleration to attain the optimal bounds in fewer rounds of communication than the state-of-the-art. Finally, with a secure "shuffler" to anonymize silo messages (but without a trusted server), our algorithm attains the optimal central DP rates under more practical trust assumptions. Numerical experiments show favorable privacy-accuracy tradeoffs for our algorithm in classification and regression tasks.

In this paper, we study the pulse shaping for delay-Doppler (DD) communications. We start with constructing a basis function in the DD domain following the properties of the Zak transform. Particularly, we show that the constructed basis functions are globally quasi-periodic while locally twisted-shifted, and their significance in time and frequency domains are then revealed. We further analyze the ambiguity function of the basis function, and show that fully localized ambiguity function can be achieved by constructing the basis function using periodic signals. More importantly, we prove that time and frequency truncating such basis functions naturally leads to delay and Doppler orthogonalities, if the truncating windows are orthogonal or periodic. Motivated by this, we propose a DD Nyquist pulse shaping scheme considering signals with periodicity. Finally, our conclusions are verified by using various orthogonal and periodic pulses.

Short Message Service (SMS) remains one of the most popular communication channels since its introduction in 2G cellular networks. In this paper, we demonstrate that merely receiving silent SMS messages regularly opens a stealthy side-channel that allows other regular network users to infer the whereabouts of the SMS recipient. The core idea is that receiving an SMS inevitably generates Delivery Reports whose reception bestows a timing attack vector at the sender. We conducted experiments across various countries, operators, and devices to show that an attacker can deduce the location of an SMS recipient by analyzing timing measurements from typical receiver locations. Our results show that, after training an ML model, the SMS sender can accurately determine multiple locations of the recipient. For example, our model achieves up to 96% accuracy for locations across different countries, and 86% for two locations within Belgium. Due to the way cellular networks are designed, it is difficult to prevent Delivery Reports from being returned to the originator making it challenging to thwart this covert attack without making fundamental changes to the network architecture.

Node classification on graphs is a significant task with a wide range of applications, including social analysis and anomaly detection. Even though graph neural networks (GNNs) have produced promising results on this task, current techniques often presume that label information of nodes is accurate, which may not be the case in real-world applications. To tackle this issue, we investigate the problem of learning on graphs with label noise and develop a novel approach dubbed Consistent Graph Neural Network (CGNN) to solve it. Specifically, we employ graph contrastive learning as a regularization term, which promotes two views of augmented nodes to have consistent representations. Since this regularization term cannot utilize label information, it can enhance the robustness of node representations to label noise. Moreover, to detect noisy labels on the graph, we present a sample selection technique based on the homophily assumption, which identifies noisy nodes by measuring the consistency between the labels with their neighbors. Finally, we purify these confident noisy labels to permit efficient semantic graph learning. Extensive experiments on three well-known benchmark datasets demonstrate the superiority of our CGNN over competing approaches.

Firewalls are critical components in securing communication networks by screening all incoming (and occasionally exiting) data packets. Filtering is carried out by comparing incoming data packets to a set of rules designed to prevent malicious code from entering the network. To regulate the flow of data packets entering and leaving a network, an Internet firewall keeps a track of all activity. While the primary function of log files is to aid in troubleshooting and diagnostics, the information they contain is also very relevant to system audits and forensics. Firewalls primary function is to prevent malicious data packets from being sent. In order to better defend against cyberattacks and understand when and how malicious actions are influencing the internet, it is necessary to examine log files. As a result, the firewall decides whether to 'allow,' 'deny,' 'drop,' or 'reset-both' the incoming and outgoing packets. In this research, we apply various categorization algorithms to make sense of data logged by a firewall device. Harmonic mean F1 score, recall, and sensitivity measurement data with a 99% accuracy score in the random forest technique are used to compare the classifier's performance. To be sure, the proposed characteristics did significantly contribute to enhancing the firewall classification rate, as seen by the high accuracy rates generated by the other methods.

Most previous event extraction studies have relied heavily on features derived from annotated event mentions, thus cannot be applied to new event types without annotation effort. In this work, we take a fresh look at event extraction and model it as a grounding problem. We design a transferable neural architecture, mapping event mentions and types jointly into a shared semantic space using structural and compositional neural networks, where the type of each event mention can be determined by the closest of all candidate types . By leveraging (1)~available manual annotations for a small set of existing event types and (2)~existing event ontologies, our framework applies to new event types without requiring additional annotation. Experiments on both existing event types (e.g., ACE, ERE) and new event types (e.g., FrameNet) demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach. \textit{Without any manual annotations} for 23 new event types, our zero-shot framework achieved performance comparable to a state-of-the-art supervised model which is trained from the annotations of 500 event mentions.
