Leveraging Input Convex Neural Networks (ICNNs), ICNN-based Model Predictive Control (MPC) successfully attains globally optimal solutions by upholding convexity within the MPC framework. However, current ICNN architectures encounter the issue of vanishing gradients, which limits their ability to serve as deep neural networks for complex tasks. Additionally, the current neural network-based MPC, including conventional neural network-based MPC and ICNN-based MPC, faces slower convergence speed when compared to MPC based on first-principles models. In this study, we leverage the principles of ICNNs to propose a novel Input Convex LSTM for Lyapunov-based MPC, with the specific goal of reducing convergence time and mitigating the vanishing gradient problem while ensuring closed-loop stability. From a simulation study of a nonlinear chemical reactor, we observed a mitigation of vanishing gradient problem and a reduction in convergence time, with a percentage decrease of 46.7%, 31.3%, and 20.2% compared to baseline plain RNN, plain LSTM, and Input Convex Recurrent Neural Network, respectively.

Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) is a promising tool for detecting Alzheimer's disease (AD) by imaging the retinal microvasculature. Ophthalmologists commonly use region-based analysis, such as the ETDRS grid, to study OCTA image biomarkers and understand the correlation with AD. However, existing studies have used general deep computer vision methods, which present challenges in providing interpretable results and leveraging clinical prior knowledge. To address these challenges, we propose a novel deep-learning framework called Polar-Net. Our approach involves mapping OCTA images from Cartesian coordinates to polar coordinates, which allows for the use of approximate sector convolution and enables the implementation of the ETDRS grid-based regional analysis method commonly used in clinical practice. Furthermore, Polar-Net incorporates clinical prior information of each sector region into the training process, which further enhances its performance. Additionally, our framework adapts to acquire the importance of the corresponding retinal region, which helps researchers and clinicians understand the model's decision-making process in detecting AD and assess its conformity to clinical observations. Through evaluations on private and public datasets, we have demonstrated that Polar-Net outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods and provides more valuable pathological evidence for the association between retinal vascular changes and AD. In addition, we also show that the two innovative modules introduced in our framework have a significant impact on improving overall performance.

Despite the proven effectiveness of Transformer neural networks across multiple domains, their performance with Electronic Health Records (EHR) can be nuanced. The unique, multidimensional sequential nature of EHR data can sometimes make even simple linear models with carefully engineered features more competitive. Thus, the advantages of Transformers, such as efficient transfer learning and improved scalability are not always fully exploited in EHR applications. Addressing these challenges, we introduce SANSformer, an attention-free sequential model designed with specific inductive biases to cater for the unique characteristics of EHR data. In this work, we aim to forecast the demand for healthcare services, by predicting the number of patient visits to healthcare facilities. The challenge amplifies when dealing with divergent patient subgroups, like those with rare diseases, which are characterized by unique health trajectories and are typically smaller in size. To address this, we employ a self-supervised pretraining strategy, Generative Summary Pretraining (GSP), which predicts future summary statistics based on past health records of a patient. Our models are pretrained on a health registry of nearly one million patients, then fine-tuned for specific subgroup prediction tasks, showcasing the potential to handle the multifaceted nature of EHR data. In evaluation, SANSformer consistently surpasses robust EHR baselines, with our GSP pretraining method notably amplifying model performance, particularly within smaller patient subgroups. Our results illuminate the promising potential of tailored attention-free models and self-supervised pretraining in refining healthcare utilization predictions across various patient demographics.

The Human Activity Recognition (HAR) tasks automatically identify human activities using the sensor data, which has numerous applications in healthcare, sports, security, and human-computer interaction. Despite significant advances in HAR, critical challenges still exist. Game theory has emerged as a promising solution to address these challenges in machine learning problems including HAR. However, there is a lack of research work on applying game theory solutions to the HAR problems. This review paper explores the potential of game theory as a solution for HAR tasks, and bridges the gap between game theory and HAR research work by suggesting novel game-theoretic approaches for HAR problems. The contributions of this work include exploring how game theory can improve the accuracy and robustness of HAR models, investigating how game-theoretic concepts can optimize recognition algorithms, and discussing the game-theoretic approaches against the existing HAR methods. The objective is to provide insights into the potential of game theory as a solution for sensor-based HAR, and contribute to develop a more accurate and efficient recognition system in the future research directions.

The increasing number of RSOs has raised concerns about the risk of collisions and catastrophic incidents for all direct and indirect users of space. To mitigate this issue, it is essential to have a good understanding of the various RSOs in orbit and their behaviour. A well-established taxonomy defining several classes of RSOs is a critical step in achieving this understanding. This taxonomy helps assign objects to specific categories based on their main characteristics, leading to better tracking services. Furthermore, a well-established taxonomy can facilitate research and analysis processes by providing a common language and framework for better understanding the factors that influence RSO behaviour in space. These factors, in turn, help design more efficient and effective strategies for space traffic management. Our work proposes a new taxonomy for RSOs focusing on the low Earth orbit regime to enhance space traffic management. In addition, we present a deep learning-based model that uses an autoencoder architecture to reduce the features representing the characteristics of the RSOs. The autoencoder generates a lower-dimensional space representation that is then explored using techniques such as Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection to identify fundamental clusters of RSOs based on their unique characteristics. This approach captures the complex and non-linear relationships between the features and the RSOs' classes identified. Our proposed taxonomy and model offer a significant contribution to the ongoing efforts to mitigate the overall risks posed by the increasing number of RSOs in orbit.

Deontological ethics, specifically understood through Immanuel Kant, provides a moral framework that emphasizes the importance of duties and principles, rather than the consequences of action. Understanding that despite the prominence of deontology, it is currently an overlooked approach in fairness metrics, this paper explores the compatibility of a Kantian deontological framework in fairness metrics, part of the AI alignment field. We revisit Kant's critique of utilitarianism, which is the primary approach in AI fairness metrics and argue that fairness principles should align with the Kantian deontological framework. By integrating Kantian ethics into AI alignment, we not only bring in a widely-accepted prominent moral theory but also strive for a more morally grounded AI landscape that better balances outcomes and procedures in pursuit of fairness and justice.

Pulmonary Embolism (PE) is a critical medical condition characterized by obstructions in the pulmonary arteries. Despite being a major health concern, it often goes underdiagnosed leading to detrimental clinical outcomes. The increasing reliance on Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiography for diagnosis presents challenges and a pressing need for enhanced diagnostic solutions. The primary objective of this study is to leverage deep learning techniques to enhance the Computer Assisted Diagnosis of PE. This study presents a comprehensive dual-pronged approach combining classification and detection for PE diagnosis. We introduce an Attention-Guided Convolutional Neural Network (AG-CNN) for classification, addressing both global and local lesion region. For detection, state-of-the-art models are employed to pinpoint potential PE regions. Different ensembling techniques further improve detection accuracy by combining predictions from different models. Finally, a heuristic strategy integrates classifier outputs with detection results, ensuring robust and accurate PE identification. Our attention-guided classification approach, tested on the Ferdowsi University of Mashhad's Pulmonary Embolism (FUMPE) dataset, outperformed the baseline model DenseNet-121 by achieving an 8.1% increase in the Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic. By employing ensemble techniques with detection models, the mean average precision (mAP) was considerably enhanced by a 4.7% increase. The classifier-guided framework further refined the mAP and F1 scores over the ensemble models. Our research offers a comprehensive approach to PE diagnostics using deep learning, addressing the prevalent issues of underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis. We aim to improve PE patient care by integrating AI solutions into clinical workflows, highlighting the potential of human-AI collaboration in medical diagnostics.

Knowledge Graph Embedding (KGE) aims to learn representations for entities and relations. Most KGE models have gained great success, especially on extrapolation scenarios. Specifically, given an unseen triple (h, r, t), a trained model can still correctly predict t from (h, r, ?), or h from (?, r, t), such extrapolation ability is impressive. However, most existing KGE works focus on the design of delicate triple modeling function, which mainly tells us how to measure the plausibility of observed triples, but offers limited explanation of why the methods can extrapolate to unseen data, and what are the important factors to help KGE extrapolate. Therefore in this work, we attempt to study the KGE extrapolation of two problems: 1. How does KGE extrapolate to unseen data? 2. How to design the KGE model with better extrapolation ability? For the problem 1, we first discuss the impact factors for extrapolation and from relation, entity and triple level respectively, propose three Semantic Evidences (SEs), which can be observed from train set and provide important semantic information for extrapolation. Then we verify the effectiveness of SEs through extensive experiments on several typical KGE methods. For the problem 2, to make better use of the three levels of SE, we propose a novel GNN-based KGE model, called Semantic Evidence aware Graph Neural Network (SE-GNN). In SE-GNN, each level of SE is modeled explicitly by the corresponding neighbor pattern, and merged sufficiently by the multi-layer aggregation, which contributes to obtaining more extrapolative knowledge representation. Finally, through extensive experiments on FB15k-237 and WN18RR datasets, we show that SE-GNN achieves state-of-the-art performance on Knowledge Graph Completion task and performs a better extrapolation ability.

Vast amount of data generated from networks of sensors, wearables, and the Internet of Things (IoT) devices underscores the need for advanced modeling techniques that leverage the spatio-temporal structure of decentralized data due to the need for edge computation and licensing (data access) issues. While federated learning (FL) has emerged as a framework for model training without requiring direct data sharing and exchange, effectively modeling the complex spatio-temporal dependencies to improve forecasting capabilities still remains an open problem. On the other hand, state-of-the-art spatio-temporal forecasting models assume unfettered access to the data, neglecting constraints on data sharing. To bridge this gap, we propose a federated spatio-temporal model -- Cross-Node Federated Graph Neural Network (CNFGNN) -- which explicitly encodes the underlying graph structure using graph neural network (GNN)-based architecture under the constraint of cross-node federated learning, which requires that data in a network of nodes is generated locally on each node and remains decentralized. CNFGNN operates by disentangling the temporal dynamics modeling on devices and spatial dynamics on the server, utilizing alternating optimization to reduce the communication cost, facilitating computations on the edge devices. Experiments on the traffic flow forecasting task show that CNFGNN achieves the best forecasting performance in both transductive and inductive learning settings with no extra computation cost on edge devices, while incurring modest communication cost.

Visual Question Answering (VQA) models have struggled with counting objects in natural images so far. We identify a fundamental problem due to soft attention in these models as a cause. To circumvent this problem, we propose a neural network component that allows robust counting from object proposals. Experiments on a toy task show the effectiveness of this component and we obtain state-of-the-art accuracy on the number category of the VQA v2 dataset without negatively affecting other categories, even outperforming ensemble models with our single model. On a difficult balanced pair metric, the component gives a substantial improvement in counting over a strong baseline by 6.6%.
