DeepFake, an AI technology for creating facial forgeries, has garnered global attention. Amid such circumstances, forensics researchers focus on developing defensive algorithms to counter these threats. In contrast, there are techniques developed for enhancing the aggressiveness of DeepFake, e.g., through anti-forensics attacks, to disrupt forensic detectors. However, such attacks often sacrifice image visual quality for improved undetectability. To address this issue, we propose a method to generate novel adversarial sharpening masks for launching black-box anti-forensics attacks. Unlike many existing arts, with such perturbations injected, DeepFakes could achieve high anti-forensics performance while exhibiting pleasant sharpening visual effects. After experimental evaluations, we prove that the proposed method could successfully disrupt the state-of-the-art DeepFake detectors. Besides, compared with the images processed by existing DeepFake anti-forensics methods, the visual qualities of anti-forensics DeepFakes rendered by the proposed method are significantly refined.

We present ParrotTTS, a modularized text-to-speech synthesis model leveraging disentangled self-supervised speech representations. It can train a multi-speaker variant effectively using transcripts from a single speaker. ParrotTTS adapts to a new language in low resource setup and generalizes to languages not seen while training the self-supervised backbone. Moreover, without training on bilingual or parallel examples, ParrotTTS can transfer voices across languages while preserving the speaker specific characteristics, e.g., synthesizing fluent Hindi speech using a French speaker's voice and accent. We present extensive results in monolingual and multi-lingual scenarios. ParrotTTS outperforms state-of-the-art multi-lingual TTS models using only a fraction of paired data as latter.

Many existing covariate shift adaptation methods estimate sample weights to be used in the risk estimation in order to mitigate the gap between the source and the target distribution. However, non-parametrically estimating the optimal weights typically involves computationally expensive hyper-parameter tuning that is crucial to the final performance. In this paper, we propose a new non-parametric approach to covariate shift adaptation which avoids estimating weights and has no hyper-parameter to be tuned. Our basic idea is to label unlabeled target data according to the $k$-nearest neighbors in the source dataset. Our analysis indicates that setting $k = 1$ is an optimal choice. Thanks to this property, there is no need to tune any hyper-parameters, unlike other non-parametric methods. Moreover, our method achieves a running time quasi-linear in the sample size with a theoretical guarantee, for the first time in the literature to the best of our knowledge. Our results include sharp rates of convergence for estimating the joint probability distribution of the target data. In particular, the variance of our estimators has the same rate of convergence as for standard parametric estimation despite their non-parametric nature. Our numerical experiments show that proposed method brings drastic reduction in the running time with accuracy comparable to that of the state-of-the-art methods.

Bayesian statistics has two common measures of central tendency of a posterior distribution: posterior means and Maximum A Posteriori (MAP) estimates. In this paper, we discuss a connection between MAP estimates and posterior means. We derive an asymptotic condition for a pair of prior densities under which the posterior mean based on one prior coincides with the MAP estimate based on the other prior. A sufficient condition for the existence of this prior pair relates to $\alpha$-flatness of the statistical model in information geometry. We also construct a matching prior pair using $\alpha$-parallel priors. Our result elucidates an interesting connection between regularization in generalized linear regression models and posterior expectation.

Dynamical systems across the sciences, from electrical circuits to ecological networks, undergo qualitative and often catastrophic changes in behavior, called bifurcations, when their underlying parameters cross a threshold. Existing methods predict oncoming catastrophes in individual systems but are primarily time-series-based and struggle both to categorize qualitative dynamical regimes across diverse systems and to generalize to real data. To address this challenge, we propose a data-driven, physically-informed deep-learning framework for classifying dynamical regimes and characterizing bifurcation boundaries based on the extraction of topologically invariant features. We focus on the paradigmatic case of the supercritical Hopf bifurcation, which is used to model periodic dynamics across a wide range of applications. Our convolutional attention method is trained with data augmentations that encourage the learning of topological invariants which can be used to detect bifurcation boundaries in unseen systems and to design models of biological systems like oscillatory gene regulatory networks. We further demonstrate our method's use in analyzing real data by recovering distinct proliferation and differentiation dynamics along pancreatic endocrinogenesis trajectory in gene expression space based on single-cell data. Our method provides valuable insights into the qualitative, long-term behavior of a wide range of dynamical systems, and can detect bifurcations or catastrophic transitions in large-scale physical and biological systems.

The ongoing biodiversity crisis, driven by factors such as land-use change and global warming, emphasizes the need for effective ecological monitoring methods. Acoustic monitoring of biodiversity has emerged as an important monitoring tool. Detecting human voices in soundscape monitoring projects is useful both for analysing human disturbance and for privacy filtering. Despite significant strides in deep learning in recent years, the deployment of large neural networks on compact devices poses challenges due to memory and latency constraints. Our approach focuses on leveraging knowledge distillation techniques to design efficient, lightweight student models for speech detection in bioacoustics. In particular, we employed the MobileNetV3-Small-Pi model to create compact yet effective student architectures to compare against the larger EcoVAD teacher model, a well-regarded voice detection architecture in eco-acoustic monitoring. The comparative analysis included examining various configurations of the MobileNetV3-Small-Pi derived student models to identify optimal performance. Additionally, a thorough evaluation of different distillation techniques was conducted to ascertain the most effective method for model selection. Our findings revealed that the distilled models exhibited comparable performance to the EcoVAD teacher model, indicating a promising approach to overcoming computational barriers for real-time ecological monitoring.

Haagerup's proof of the non commutative little Grothendieck inequality raises some questions on the commutative little inequality, and it offers a new result on scalar matrices with non negative entries. The theory of completely bounded maps implies that the commutative Grothendieck inequality follows from the little commutative inequality, and that this passage may be given a geometric form as a relation between a pair of compact convex sets of positive matrices, which, in turn, characterizes the little constant in the complex case.

By approximating posterior distributions with weighted samples, particle filters (PFs) provide an efficient mechanism for solving non-linear sequential state estimation problems. While the effectiveness of particle filters has been recognised in various applications, their performance relies on the knowledge of dynamic models and measurement models, as well as the construction of effective proposal distributions. An emerging trend involves constructing components of particle filters using neural networks and optimising them by gradient descent, and such data-adaptive particle filtering approaches are often called differentiable particle filters. Due to the expressiveness of neural networks, differentiable particle filters are a promising computational tool for performing inference on sequential data in complex, high-dimensional tasks, such as vision-based robot localisation. In this paper, we review recent advances in differentiable particle filters and their applications. We place special emphasis on different design choices for key components of differentiable particle filters, including dynamic models, measurement models, proposal distributions, optimisation objectives, and differentiable resampling techniques.

In this paper we present a low-rank method for conforming multipatch discretizations of compressible linear elasticity problems using Isogeometric Analysis. The proposed technique is a non-trivial extension of [M. Montardini, G. Sangalli, and M. Tani. A low-rank isogeometric solver based on Tucker tensors. Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Engrg., page 116472, 2023.] to multipatch geometries. We tackle the model problem using an overlapping Schwarz method, where the subdomains can be defined as unions of neighbouring patches. Then on each subdomain we approximate the blocks of the linear system matrix and of the right-hand side vector using Tucker matrices and Tucker vectors, respectively. We use the Truncated Preconditioned Conjugate Gradient as a linear solver, coupled with a suited preconditioner. The numerical experiments show the advantages of this approach in terms of memory storage. Moreover, the number of iterations is robust with respect to the relevant parameters.

Error-bounded lossy compression has been identified as a promising solution for significantly reducing scientific data volumes upon users' requirements on data distortion. For the existing scientific error-bounded lossy compressors, some of them (such as SPERR and FAZ) can reach fairly high compression ratios and some others (such as SZx, SZ, and ZFP) feature high compression speeds, but they rarely exhibit both high ratio and high speed meanwhile. In this paper, we propose HPEZ with newly-designed interpolations and quality-metric-driven auto-tuning, which features significantly improved compression quality upon the existing high-performance compressors, meanwhile being exceedingly faster than high-ratio compressors. The key contributions lie in the following points: (1) We develop a series of advanced techniques such as interpolation re-ordering, multi-dimensional interpolation, and natural cubic splines to significantly improve compression qualities with interpolation-based data prediction. (2) The auto-tuning module in HPEZ has been carefully designed with novel strategies, including but not limited to block-wise interpolation tuning, dynamic dimension freezing, and Lorenzo tuning. (3) We thoroughly evaluate HPEZ compared with many other compressors on six real-world scientific datasets. Experiments show that HPEZ outperforms other high-performance error-bounded lossy compressors in compression ratio by up to 140% under the same error bound, and by up to 360% under the same PSNR. In parallel data transfer experiments on the distributed database, HPEZ achieves a significant performance gain with up to 40% time cost reduction over the second-best compressor.
