Despite the rich existing literature about minimax optimization in continuous settings, only very partial results of this kind have been obtained for combinatorial settings. In this paper, we fill this gap by providing a characterization of submodular minimax optimization, the problem of finding a set (for either the min or the max player) that is effective against every possible response. We show when and under what conditions we can find such sets. We also demonstrate how minimax submodular optimization provides robust solutions for downstream machine learning applications such as (i) efficient prompt engineering for question answering, (ii) prompt engineering for dialog state tracking, (iii) identifying robust waiting locations for ride-sharing, (iv) ride-share difficulty kernelization, and (v) finding adversarial images. Our experiments demonstrate that our proposed algorithms consistently outperform other baselines.

This paper presents a unified approach for maximizing continuous DR-submodular functions that encompasses a range of settings and oracle access types. Our approach includes a Frank-Wolfe type offline algorithm for both monotone and non-monotone functions, with different restrictions on the general convex set. We consider settings where the oracle provides access to either the gradient of the function or only the function value, and where the oracle access is either deterministic or stochastic. We determine the number of required oracle accesses in all cases. Our approach gives new/improved results for nine out of the sixteen considered cases, avoids computationally expensive projections in two cases, with the proposed framework matching performance of state-of-the-art approaches in the remaining five cases. Notably, our approach for the stochastic function value-based oracle enables the first regret bounds with bandit feedback for stochastic DR-submodular functions.

Constrained $k$-submodular maximization is a general framework that captures many discrete optimization problems such as ad allocation, influence maximization, personalized recommendation, and many others. In many of these applications, datasets are large or decisions need to be made in an online manner, which motivates the development of efficient streaming and online algorithms. In this work, we develop single-pass streaming and online algorithms for constrained $k$-submodular maximization with both monotone and general (possibly non-monotone) objectives subject to cardinality and knapsack constraints. Our algorithms achieve provable constant-factor approximation guarantees which improve upon the state of the art in almost all settings. Moreover, they are combinatorial and very efficient, and have optimal space and running time. We experimentally evaluate our algorithms on instances for ad allocation and other applications, where we observe that our algorithms are efficient and scalable, and construct solutions that are comparable in value to offline greedy algorithms.

The task of maximizing a monotone submodular function under a cardinality constraint is at the core of many machine learning and data mining applications, including data summarization, sparse regression and coverage problems. We study this classic problem in the fully dynamic setting, where elements can be both inserted and removed. Our main result is a randomized algorithm that maintains an efficient data structure with a poly-logarithmic amortized update time and yields a $(1/2-\epsilon)$-approximate solution. We complement our theoretical analysis with an empirical study of the performance of our algorithm.

PCA-Net is a recently proposed neural operator architecture which combines principal component analysis (PCA) with neural networks to approximate operators between infinite-dimensional function spaces. The present work develops approximation theory for this approach, improving and significantly extending previous work in this direction: First, a novel universal approximation result is derived, under minimal assumptions on the underlying operator and the data-generating distribution. Then, two potential obstacles to efficient operator learning with PCA-Net are identified, and made precise through lower complexity bounds; the first relates to the complexity of the output distribution, measured by a slow decay of the PCA eigenvalues. The other obstacle relates to the inherent complexity of the space of operators between infinite-dimensional input and output spaces, resulting in a rigorous and quantifiable statement of the curse of dimensionality. In addition to these lower bounds, upper complexity bounds are derived. A suitable smoothness criterion is shown to ensure an algebraic decay of the PCA eigenvalues. Furthermore, it is shown that PCA-Net can overcome the general curse of dimensionality for specific operators of interest, arising from the Darcy flow and the Navier-Stokes equations.

We define the supermodular rank of a function on a lattice. This is the smallest number of terms needed to decompose it into a sum of supermodular functions. The supermodular summands are defined with respect to different partial orders. We characterize the maximum possible value of the supermodular rank and describe the functions with fixed supermodular rank. We analogously define the submodular rank. We use submodular decompositions to optimize set functions. Given a bound on the submodular rank of a set function, we formulate an algorithm that splits an optimization problem into submodular subproblems. We show that this method improves the approximation ratio guarantees of several algorithms for monotone set function maximization and ratio of set functions minimization, at a computation overhead that depends on the submodular rank.

Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) has been a useful tool in pattern recognition and data analysis research and practice. While linearity of class boundaries cannot always be expected, nonlinear projections through pre-trained deep neural networks have served to map complex data onto feature spaces in which linear discrimination has served well. The solution to binary LDA is obtained by eigenvalue analysis of within-class and between-class scatter matrices. It is well known that the multiclass LDA is solved by an extension to the binary LDA, a generalised eigenvalue problem, from which the largest subspace that can be extracted is of dimension one lower than the number of classes in the given problem. In this paper, we show that, apart from the first of the discriminant directions, the generalised eigenanalysis solution to multiclass LDA does neither yield orthogonal discriminant directions nor maximise discrimination of projected data along them. Surprisingly, to the best of our knowledge, this has not been noted in decades of literature on LDA. To overcome this drawback, we present a derivation with a strict theoretical support for sequentially obtaining discriminant directions that are orthogonal to previously computed ones and maximise in each step the Fisher criterion. We show distributions of projections along these axes and demonstrate that discrimination of data projected onto these discriminant directions has optimal separation, which is much higher than those from the generalised eigenvectors of the multiclass LDA. Using a wide range of benchmark tasks, we present a comprehensive empirical demonstration that on a number of pattern recognition and classification problems, the optimal discriminant subspaces obtained by the proposed method, referred to as GO-LDA (Generalised Optimal LDA), can offer superior accuracy.

Data science applications increasingly rely on heterogeneous data sources and analytics. This has led to growing interest in polystore systems, especially analytical polystores. In this work, we focus on a class of emerging multi-data model analytics workloads that fluidly straddle relational, graph, and text analytics. Instead of a generic polystore, we build a ``tri-store'' system that is more aware of the underlying data models to better optimize execution to improve scalability and runtime efficiency. We name our system AWESOME (Analytics WorkbEnch for SOcial MEdia). It features a powerful domain-specific language named ADIL. ADIL builds on top of underlying query engines (e.g., SQL and Cypher) and features native data types for succinctly specifying cross-engine queries and NLP operations, as well as automatic in-memory and query optimizations. Using real-world tri-model analytical workloads and datasets, we empirically demonstrate the functionalities of AWESOME for scalable data science applications and evaluate its efficiency.

Since deep neural networks were developed, they have made huge contributions to everyday lives. Machine learning provides more rational advice than humans are capable of in almost every aspect of daily life. However, despite this achievement, the design and training of neural networks are still challenging and unpredictable procedures. To lower the technical thresholds for common users, automated hyper-parameter optimization (HPO) has become a popular topic in both academic and industrial areas. This paper provides a review of the most essential topics on HPO. The first section introduces the key hyper-parameters related to model training and structure, and discusses their importance and methods to define the value range. Then, the research focuses on major optimization algorithms and their applicability, covering their efficiency and accuracy especially for deep learning networks. This study next reviews major services and toolkits for HPO, comparing their support for state-of-the-art searching algorithms, feasibility with major deep learning frameworks, and extensibility for new modules designed by users. The paper concludes with problems that exist when HPO is applied to deep learning, a comparison between optimization algorithms, and prominent approaches for model evaluation with limited computational resources.

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.
