Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) have yielded promising results for both recognizing objects in challenging conditions and modeling aspects of primate vision. However, the representational dynamics of recurrent computations remain poorly understood, especially in large-scale visual models. Here, we studied such dynamics in RNNs trained for object classification on MiniEcoset, a novel subset of ecoset. We report two main insights. First, upon inference, representations continued to evolve after correct classification, suggesting a lack of the notion of being ``done with classification''. Second, focusing on ``readout zones'' as a way to characterize the activation trajectories, we observe that misclassified representations exhibit activation patterns with lower L2 norm, and are positioned more peripherally in the readout zones. Such arrangements help the misclassified representations move into the correct zones as time progresses. Our findings generalize to networks with lateral and top-down connections, and include both additive and multiplicative interactions with the bottom-up sweep. The results therefore contribute to a general understanding of RNN dynamics in naturalistic tasks. We hope that the analysis framework will aid future investigations of other types of RNNs, including understanding of representational dynamics in primate vision.

Suitable discretizations through tensor product formulas of popular multidimensional operators (diffusion--advection, for instance) lead to matrices with $d$-dimensional Kronecker sum structure. For evolutionary PDEs containing such operators and integrated in time with exponential integrators, it is of paramount importance to efficiently approximate actions of $\varphi$-functions of this kind of matrices. In this work, we show how to produce directional split approximations of third order with respect to the time step size. They conveniently employ tensor-matrix products (realized with highly performance level 3 BLAS) and that allow for the effective usage in practice of exponential integrators up to order three. The approach has been successfully tested against state-of-the-art techniques on two well-known physical models, namely FitzHugh--Nagumo and Schnakenberg.

Textless speech-to-speech translation systems are rapidly advancing, thanks to the integration of self-supervised learning techniques. However, existing state-of-the-art systems fall short when it comes to capturing and transferring expressivity accurately across different languages. Expressivity plays a vital role in conveying emotions, nuances, and cultural subtleties, thereby enhancing communication across diverse languages. To address this issue this study presents a novel method that operates at the discrete speech unit level and leverages multilingual emotion embeddings to capture language-agnostic information. Specifically, we demonstrate how these embeddings can be used to effectively predict the pitch and duration of speech units in the target language. Through objective and subjective experiments conducted on a French-to-English translation task, our findings highlight the superior expressivity transfer achieved by our approach compared to current state-of-the-art systems.

Language models (LMs) have recently flourished in natural language processing and computer vision, generating high-fidelity texts or images in various tasks. In contrast, the current speech generative models are still struggling regarding speech quality and task generalization. This paper presents Vec-Tok Speech, an extensible framework that resembles multiple speech generation tasks, generating expressive and high-fidelity speech. Specifically, we propose a novel speech codec based on speech vectors and semantic tokens. Speech vectors contain acoustic details contributing to high-fidelity speech reconstruction, while semantic tokens focus on the linguistic content of speech, facilitating language modeling. Based on the proposed speech codec, Vec-Tok Speech leverages an LM to undertake the core of speech generation. Moreover, Byte-Pair Encoding (BPE) is introduced to reduce the token length and bit rate for lower exposure bias and longer context coverage, improving the performance of LMs. Vec-Tok Speech can be used for intra- and cross-lingual zero-shot voice conversion (VC), zero-shot speaking style transfer text-to-speech (TTS), speech-to-speech translation (S2ST), speech denoising, and speaker de-identification and anonymization. Experiments show that Vec-Tok Speech, built on 50k hours of speech, performs better than other SOTA models. Code will be available at //github.com/BakerBunker/VecTok .

One of the main challenges for interpreting black-box models is the ability to uniquely decompose square-integrable functions of non-mutually independent random inputs into a sum of functions of every possible subset of variables. However, dealing with dependencies among inputs can be complicated. We propose a novel framework to study this problem, linking three domains of mathematics: probability theory, functional analysis, and combinatorics. We show that, under two reasonable assumptions on the inputs (non-perfect functional dependence and non-degenerate stochastic dependence), it is always possible to decompose uniquely such a function. This ``canonical decomposition'' is relatively intuitive and unveils the linear nature of non-linear functions of non-linearly dependent inputs. In this framework, we effectively generalize the well-known Hoeffding decomposition, which can be seen as a particular case. Oblique projections of the black-box model allow for novel interpretability indices for evaluation and variance decomposition. Aside from their intuitive nature, the properties of these novel indices are studied and discussed. This result offers a path towards a more precise uncertainty quantification, which can benefit sensitivity analyses and interpretability studies, whenever the inputs are dependent. This decomposition is illustrated analytically, and the challenges to adopting these results in practice are discussed.

In the field of semi-supervised medical image segmentation, the shortage of labeled data is the fundamental problem. How to effectively learn image features from unlabeled images to improve segmentation accuracy is the main research direction in this field. Traditional self-training methods can partially solve the problem of insufficient labeled data by generating pseudo labels for iterative training. However, noise generated due to the model's uncertainty during training directly affects the segmentation results. Therefore, we added sample-level and pixel-level uncertainty to stabilize the training process based on the self-training framework. Specifically, we saved several moments of the model during pre-training, and used the difference between their predictions on unlabeled samples as the sample-level uncertainty estimate for that sample. Then, we gradually add unlabeled samples from easy to hard during training. At the same time, we added a decoder with different upsampling methods to the segmentation network and used the difference between the outputs of the two decoders as pixel-level uncertainty. In short, we selectively retrained unlabeled samples and assigned pixel-level uncertainty to pseudo labels to optimize the self-training process. We compared the segmentation results of our model with five semi-supervised approaches on the public 2017 ACDC dataset and 2018 Prostate dataset. Our proposed method achieves better segmentation performance on both datasets under the same settings, demonstrating its effectiveness, robustness, and potential transferability to other medical image segmentation tasks. Keywords: Medical image segmentation, semi-supervised learning, self-training, uncertainty estimation

Private synthetic data sharing is preferred as it keeps the distribution and nuances of original data compared to summary statistics. The state-of-the-art methods adopt a select-measure-generate paradigm, but measuring large domain marginals still results in much error and allocating privacy budget iteratively is still difficult. To address these issues, our method employs a partition-based approach that effectively reduces errors and improves the quality of synthetic data, even with a limited privacy budget. Results from our experiments demonstrate the superiority of our method over existing approaches. The synthetic data produced using our approach exhibits improved quality and utility, making it a preferable choice for private synthetic data sharing.

A physics-informed convolutional neural network is proposed to simulate two phase flow in porous media with time-varying well controls. While most of PICNNs in existing literatures worked on parameter-to-state mapping, our proposed network parameterizes the solution with time-varying controls to establish a control-to-state regression. Firstly, finite volume scheme is adopted to discretize flow equations and formulate loss function that respects mass conservation laws. Neumann boundary conditions are seamlessly incorporated into the semi-discretized equations so no additional loss term is needed. The network architecture comprises two parallel U-Net structures, with network inputs being well controls and outputs being the system states. To capture the time-dependent relationship between inputs and outputs, the network is well designed to mimic discretized state space equations. We train the network progressively for every timestep, enabling it to simultaneously predict oil pressure and water saturation at each timestep. After training the network for one timestep, we leverage transfer learning techniques to expedite the training process for subsequent timestep. The proposed model is used to simulate oil-water porous flow scenarios with varying reservoir gridblocks and aspects including computation efficiency and accuracy are compared against corresponding numerical approaches. The results underscore the potential of PICNN in effectively simulating systems with numerous grid blocks, as computation time does not scale with model dimensionality. We assess the temporal error using 10 different testing controls with variation in magnitude and another 10 with higher alternation frequency with proposed control-to-state architecture. Our observations suggest the need for a more robust and reliable model when dealing with controls that exhibit significant variations in magnitude or frequency.

With observational data alone, causal structure learning is a challenging problem. The task becomes easier when having access to data collected from perturbations of the underlying system, even when the nature of these is unknown. Existing methods either do not allow for the presence of latent variables or assume that these remain unperturbed. However, these assumptions are hard to justify if the nature of the perturbations is unknown. We provide results that enable scoring causal structures in the setting with additive, but unknown interventions. Specifically, we propose a maximum-likelihood estimator in a structural equation model that exploits system-wide invariances to output an equivalence class of causal structures from perturbation data. Furthermore, under certain structural assumptions on the population model, we provide a simple graphical characterization of all the DAGs in the interventional equivalence class. We illustrate the utility of our framework on synthetic data as well as real data involving California reservoirs and protein expressions. The software implementation is available as the Python package \emph{utlvce}.
