We develop an optimization-based algorithm for parametric model order reduction (PMOR) of linear time-invariant dynamical systems. Our method aims at minimizing the $\mathcal{H}_\infty \otimes \mathcal{L}_\infty$ approximation error in the frequency and parameter domain by an optimization of the reduced order model (ROM) matrices. State-of-the-art PMOR methods often compute several nonparametric ROMs for different parameter samples, which are then combined to a single parametric ROM. However, these parametric ROMs can have a low accuracy between the utilized sample points. In contrast, our optimization-based PMOR method minimizes the approximation error across the entire parameter domain. Moreover, due to our flexible approach of optimizing the system matrices directly, we can enforce favorable features such as a port-Hamiltonian structure in our ROMs across the entire parameter domain. Our method is an extension of the recently developed SOBMOR-algorithm to parametric systems. We extend both the ROM parameterization and the adaptive sampling procedure to the parametric case. Several numerical examples demonstrate the effectiveness and high accuracy of our method in a comparison with other PMOR methods.

Missing data is a commonly occurring problem in practice. Many imputation methods have been developed to fill in the missing entries. However, not all of them can scale to high-dimensional data, especially the multiple imputation techniques. Meanwhile, the data nowadays tends toward high-dimensional. Therefore, in this work, we propose Principal Component Analysis Imputation (PCAI), a simple but versatile framework based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to speed up the imputation process and alleviate memory issues of many available imputation techniques, without sacrificing the imputation quality in term of MSE. In addition, the frameworks can be used even when some or all of the missing features are categorical, or when the number of missing features is large. Next, we introduce PCA Imputation - Classification (PIC), an application of PCAI for classification problems with some adjustments. We validate our approach by experiments on various scenarios, which shows that PCAI and PIC can work with various imputation algorithms, including the state-of-the-art ones and improve the imputation speed significantly, while achieving competitive mean square error/classification accuracy compared to direct imputation (i.e., impute directly on the missing data).

The existing randomized algorithms need an initial estimation of the tubal rank to compute a tensor singular value decomposition. This paper proposes a new randomized fixedprecision algorithm which for a given third-order tensor and a prescribed approximation error bound, automatically finds an optimal tubal rank and the corresponding low tubal rank approximation. The algorithm is based on the random projection technique and equipped with the power iteration method for achieving a better accuracy. We conduct simulations on synthetic and real-world datasets to show the efficiency and performance of the proposed algorithm.

The flocking motion control is concerned with managing the possible conflicts between local and team objectives of multi-agent systems. The overall control process guides the agents while monitoring the flock-cohesiveness and localization. The underlying mechanisms may degrade due to overlooking the unmodeled uncertainties associated with the flock dynamics and formation. On another side, the efficiencies of the various control designs rely on how quickly they can adapt to different dynamic situations in real-time. An online model-free policy iteration mechanism is developed here to guide a flock of agents to follow an independent command generator over a time-varying graph topology. The strength of connectivity between any two agents or the graph edge weight is decided using a position adjacency dependent function. An online recursive least squares approach is adopted to tune the guidance strategies without knowing the dynamics of the agents or those of the command generator. It is compared with another reinforcement learning approach from the literature which is based on a value iteration technique. The simulation results of the policy iteration mechanism revealed fast learning and convergence behaviors with less computational effort.

An instrumental variable (IV) is a device that encourages units in a study to be exposed to a treatment. Under a set of key assumptions, a valid instrument allows for consistent estimation of treatment effects for compliers (those who are only exposed to treatment when encouraged to do so) even in the presence of unobserved confounders. Unfortunately, popular IV estimators can be unstable in studies with a small fraction of compliers. Here, we explore post-stratifying the data using variables that predict complier status (and, potentially, the outcome) to yield better estimation and inferential properties. We outline an estimator that is a weighted average of IV estimates within each stratum, weighing the stratum estimates by their estimated proportion of compliers. We then explore the benefits of post-stratification in terms of bias reduction, variance reduction, and improved standard error estimates, providing derivations that identify the direction of bias as a function of the relative means of the compliers and non-compliers. We also provide a finite-sample asymptotic formula for the variance of the post-stratified estimators. We demonstrate the relative performances of different IV approaches in simulations studies and discuss the advantages of our design-based post-stratification approach over incorporating compliance-predictive covariates into two-stage least squares regressions. In the end, we show covariates predictive of outcome can increase precision, but only if one is willing to make a bias-variance trade-off by down-weighting or dropping those strata with few compliers. Our methods are further exemplified in an application.

The flock-guidance problem enjoys a challenging structure where multiple optimization objectives are solved simultaneously. This usually necessitates different control approaches to tackle various objectives, such as guidance, collision avoidance, and cohesion. The guidance schemes, in particular, have long suffered from complex tracking-error dynamics. Furthermore, techniques that are based on linear feedback strategies obtained at equilibrium conditions either may not hold or degrade when applied to uncertain dynamic environments. Pre-tuned fuzzy inference architectures lack robustness under such unmodeled conditions. This work introduces an adaptive distributed technique for the autonomous control of flock systems. Its relatively flexible structure is based on online fuzzy reinforcement learning schemes which simultaneously target a number of objectives; namely, following a leader, avoiding collision, and reaching a flock velocity consensus. In addition to its resilience in the face of dynamic disturbances, the algorithm does not require more than the agent position as a feedback signal. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated with two simulation scenarios and benchmarked against a similar technique from the literature.

In this paper, a new feature selection algorithm, called SFE (Simple, Fast, and Efficient), is proposed for high-dimensional datasets. The SFE algorithm performs its search process using a search agent and two operators: non-selection and selection. It comprises two phases: exploration and exploitation. In the exploration phase, the non-selection operator performs a global search in the entire problem search space for the irrelevant, redundant, trivial, and noisy features, and changes the status of the features from selected mode to non-selected mode. In the exploitation phase, the selection operator searches the problem search space for the features with a high impact on the classification results, and changes the status of the features from non-selected mode to selected mode. The proposed SFE is successful in feature selection from high-dimensional datasets. However, after reducing the dimensionality of a dataset, its performance cannot be increased significantly. In these situations, an evolutionary computational method could be used to find a more efficient subset of features in the new and reduced search space. To overcome this issue, this paper proposes a hybrid algorithm, SFE-PSO (particle swarm optimization) to find an optimal feature subset. The efficiency and effectiveness of the SFE and the SFE-PSO for feature selection are compared on 40 high-dimensional datasets. Their performances were compared with six recently proposed feature selection algorithms. The results obtained indicate that the two proposed algorithms significantly outperform the other algorithms, and can be used as efficient and effective algorithms in selecting features from high-dimensional datasets.

Data in Knowledge Graphs often represents part of the current state of the real world. Thus, to stay up-to-date the graph data needs to be updated frequently. To utilize information from Knowledge Graphs, many state-of-the-art machine learning approaches use embedding techniques. These techniques typically compute an embedding, i.e., vector representations of the nodes as input for the main machine learning algorithm. If a graph update occurs later on -- specifically when nodes are added or removed -- the training has to be done all over again. This is undesirable, because of the time it takes and also because downstream models which were trained with these embeddings have to be retrained if they change significantly. In this paper, we investigate embedding updates that do not require full retraining and evaluate them in combination with various embedding models on real dynamic Knowledge Graphs covering multiple use cases. We study approaches that place newly appearing nodes optimally according to local information, but notice that this does not work well. However, we find that if we continue the training of the old embedding, interleaved with epochs during which we only optimize for the added and removed parts, we obtain good results in terms of typical metrics used in link prediction. This performance is obtained much faster than with a complete retraining and hence makes it possible to maintain embeddings for dynamic Knowledge Graphs.

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.

While existing work in robust deep learning has focused on small pixel-level $\ell_p$ norm-based perturbations, this may not account for perturbations encountered in several real world settings. In many such cases although test data might not be available, broad specifications about the types of perturbations (such as an unknown degree of rotation) may be known. We consider a setup where robustness is expected over an unseen test domain that is not i.i.d. but deviates from the training domain. While this deviation may not be exactly known, its broad characterization is specified a priori, in terms of attributes. We propose an adversarial training approach which learns to generate new samples so as to maximize exposure of the classifier to the attributes-space, without having access to the data from the test domain. Our adversarial training solves a min-max optimization problem, with the inner maximization generating adversarial perturbations, and the outer minimization finding model parameters by optimizing the loss on adversarial perturbations generated from the inner maximization. We demonstrate the applicability of our approach on three types of naturally occurring perturbations -- object-related shifts, geometric transformations, and common image corruptions. Our approach enables deep neural networks to be robust against a wide range of naturally occurring perturbations. We demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed approach by showing the robustness gains of deep neural networks trained using our adversarial training on MNIST, CIFAR-10, and a new variant of the CLEVR dataset.
