Optimal model reduction for large-scale linear dynamical systems is studied. In contrast to most existing works, the systems under consideration are not required to be stable, neither in discrete nor in continuous time. As a consequence, the underlying rational transfer functions are allowed to have poles in general domains in the complex plane. In particular, this covers the case of specific conservative partial differential equations such as the linear Schr\"odinger and the undamped linear wave equation with spectra on the imaginary axis. By an appropriate modification of the classical continuous time Hardy space $\mathcal{H}_2$, a new $\mathcal{H}_2$ like optimal model reduction problem is introduced and first order optimality conditions are derived. As in the classical $\mathcal{H}_2$ case, these conditions exhibit a rational Hermite interpolation structure for which an iterative model reduction algorithm is proposed. Numerical examples demonstrate the effectiveness of the new method.

Digital image correlation (DIC) has become a valuable tool to monitor and evaluate mechanical experiments of cracked specimen, but the automatic detection of cracks is often difficult due to inherent noise and artefacts. Machine learning models have been extremely successful in detecting crack paths and crack tips using DIC-measured, interpolated full-field displacements as input to a convolution-based segmentation model. Still, big data is needed to train such models. However, scientific data is often scarce as experiments are expensive and time-consuming. In this work, we present a method to directly generate large amounts of artificial displacement data of cracked specimen resembling real interpolated DIC displacements. The approach is based on generative adversarial networks (GANs). During training, the discriminator receives physical domain knowledge in the form of the derived von Mises equivalent strain. We show that this physics-guided approach leads to improved results in terms of visual quality of samples, sliced Wasserstein distance, and geometry score when compared to a classical unguided GAN approach.

In the conventional change detection (CD) pipeline, two manually registered and labeled remote sensing datasets serve as the input of the model for training and prediction. However, in realistic scenarios, data from different periods or sensors could fail to be aligned as a result of various coordinate systems. Geometric distortion caused by coordinate shifting remains a thorny issue for CD algorithms. In this paper, we propose a reusable self-supervised framework for bitemporal geometric distortion in CD tasks. The whole framework is composed of Pretext Representation Pre-training, Bitemporal Image Alignment, and Down-stream Decoder Fine-Tuning. With only single-stage pre-training, the key components of the framework can be reused for assistance in the bitemporal image alignment, while simultaneously enhancing the performance of the CD decoder. Experimental results in 2 large-scale realistic scenarios demonstrate that our proposed method can alleviate the bitemporal geometric distortion in CD tasks.

Networks serve as a tool used to examine the large-scale connectivity patterns in complex systems. Modelling their generative mechanism nonparametrically is often based on step-functions, such as the stochastic block models. These models are capable of addressing two prominent topics in network science: link prediction and community detection. However, such methods often have a resolution limit, making it difficult to separate small-scale structures from noise. To arrive at a smoother representation of the network's generative mechanism, we explicitly trade variance for bias by smoothing blocks of edges based on stochastic equivalence. As such, we propose a different estimation method using a new model, which we call the stochastic shape model. Typically, analysis methods are based on modelling node or link communities. In contrast, we take a hybrid approach, bridging the two notions of community. Consequently, we obtain a more parsimonious representation, enabling a more interpretable and multiscale summary of the network structure. By considering multiple resolutions, we trade bias and variance to ensure that our estimator is rate-optimal. We also examine the performance of our model through simulations and applications to real network data.

Utilizing massive web-scale datasets has led to unprecedented performance gains in machine learning models, but also imposes outlandish compute requirements for their training. In order to improve training and data efficiency, we here push the limits of pruning large-scale multimodal datasets for training CLIP-style models. Today's most effective pruning method on ImageNet clusters data samples into separate concepts according to their embedding and prunes away the most prototypical samples. We scale this approach to LAION and improve it by noting that the pruning rate should be concept-specific and adapted to the complexity of the concept. Using a simple and intuitive complexity measure, we are able to reduce the training cost to a quarter of regular training. By filtering from the LAION dataset, we find that training on a smaller set of high-quality data can lead to higher performance with significantly lower training costs. More specifically, we are able to outperform the LAION-trained OpenCLIP-ViT-B32 model on ImageNet zero-shot accuracy by 1.1p.p. while only using 27.7% of the data and training compute. Despite a strong reduction in training cost, we also see improvements on ImageNet dist. shifts, retrieval tasks and VTAB. On the DataComp Medium benchmark, we achieve a new state-of-the-art ImageNet zero-shot accuracy and a competitive average zero-shot accuracy on 38 evaluation tasks.

A technique that allows a formation-enforcing control (FEC) derived from graph rigidity theory to interface with a realistic relative localization system onboard lightweight Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is proposed in this paper. The proposed methodology enables reliable real-world deployment of UAVs in tight formation using real relative localization systems burdened by non-negligible sensory noise, which is typically not fully taken into account in FEC algorithms. The proposed solution is based on decomposition of the gradient descent-based FEC command into interpretable elements, and then modifying these individually based on the estimated distribution of sensory noise, such that the resulting action limits the probability of overshooting the desired formation. The behavior of the system has been analyzed and the practicality of the proposed solution has been compared to pure gradient-descent in real-world experiments where it presented significantly better performance in terms of oscillations, deviation from the desired state and convergence time.

Ning Cai and the author jointly studied secure network codes over adaptive and active attacks, which were rarely studied until these seminal papers. This paper reviews the result for secure network code over adaptive and active attacks. We focus on two typical network models, a one-hop relay network and a unicast relay network.

Distributing quantum information between remote systems will necessitate the integration of emerging quantum components with existing communication infrastructure. This requires understanding the channel-induced degradations of the transmitted quantum signals, beyond the typical characterization methods for classical communication systems. Here we report on a comprehensive characterization of a Boston-Area Quantum Network (BARQNET) telecom fiber testbed, measuring the time-of-flight, polarization, and phase noise imparted on transmitted signals. We further design and demonstrate a compensation system that is both resilient to these noise sources and compatible with integration of emerging quantum memory components on the deployed link. These results have utility for future work on the BARQNET as well as other quantum network testbeds in development, enabling near-term quantum networking demonstrations and informing what areas of technology development will be most impactful in advancing future system capabilities.

In large-scale systems there are fundamental challenges when centralised techniques are used for task allocation. The number of interactions is limited by resource constraints such as on computation, storage, and network communication. We can increase scalability by implementing the system as a distributed task-allocation system, sharing tasks across many agents. However, this also increases the resource cost of communications and synchronisation, and is difficult to scale. In this paper we present four algorithms to solve these problems. The combination of these algorithms enable each agent to improve their task allocation strategy through reinforcement learning, while changing how much they explore the system in response to how optimal they believe their current strategy is, given their past experience. We focus on distributed agent systems where the agents' behaviours are constrained by resource usage limits, limiting agents to local rather than system-wide knowledge. We evaluate these algorithms in a simulated environment where agents are given a task composed of multiple subtasks that must be allocated to other agents with differing capabilities, to then carry out those tasks. We also simulate real-life system effects such as networking instability. Our solution is shown to solve the task allocation problem to 6.7% of the theoretical optimal within the system configurations considered. It provides 5x better performance recovery over no-knowledge retention approaches when system connectivity is impacted, and is tested against systems up to 100 agents with less than a 9% impact on the algorithms' performance.

Recent advances in 3D fully convolutional networks (FCN) have made it feasible to produce dense voxel-wise predictions of volumetric images. In this work, we show that a multi-class 3D FCN trained on manually labeled CT scans of several anatomical structures (ranging from the large organs to thin vessels) can achieve competitive segmentation results, while avoiding the need for handcrafting features or training class-specific models. To this end, we propose a two-stage, coarse-to-fine approach that will first use a 3D FCN to roughly define a candidate region, which will then be used as input to a second 3D FCN. This reduces the number of voxels the second FCN has to classify to ~10% and allows it to focus on more detailed segmentation of the organs and vessels. We utilize training and validation sets consisting of 331 clinical CT images and test our models on a completely unseen data collection acquired at a different hospital that includes 150 CT scans, targeting three anatomical organs (liver, spleen, and pancreas). In challenging organs such as the pancreas, our cascaded approach improves the mean Dice score from 68.5 to 82.2%, achieving the highest reported average score on this dataset. We compare with a 2D FCN method on a separate dataset of 240 CT scans with 18 classes and achieve a significantly higher performance in small organs and vessels. Furthermore, we explore fine-tuning our models to different datasets. Our experiments illustrate the promise and robustness of current 3D FCN based semantic segmentation of medical images, achieving state-of-the-art results.
