Federated Learning (FL) has attracted much interest due to the significant advantages it brings to training deep neural network (DNN) models. However, since communications and computation resources are limited, training DNN models in FL systems face challenges such as elevated computational and communication costs in complex tasks. Sparse training schemes gain increasing attention in order to scale down the dimensionality of each client (i.e., node) transmission. Specifically, sparsification with error correction methods is a promising technique, where only important updates are sent to the parameter server (PS) and the rest are accumulated locally. While error correction methods have shown to achieve a significant sparsification level of the client-to-PS message without harming convergence, pushing sparsity further remains unresolved due to the staleness effect. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm, dubbed Federated Learning with Accumulated Regularized Embeddings (FLARE), to overcome this challenge. FLARE presents a novel sparse training approach via accumulated pulling of the updated models with regularization on the embeddings in the FL process, providing a powerful solution to the staleness effect, and pushing sparsity to an exceptional level. The performance of FLARE is validated through extensive experiments on diverse and complex models, achieving a remarkable sparsity level (10 times and more beyond the current state-of-the-art) along with significantly improved accuracy. Additionally, an open-source software package has been developed for the benefit of researchers and developers in related fields.

Statistical information is ubiquitous but drawing valid conclusions from it is prohibitively hard. We explain how knowledge graph embeddings can be used to approximate probabilistic inference efficiently using the example of Statistical EL (SEL), a statistical extension of the lightweight Description Logic EL. We provide proofs for runtime and soundness guarantees, and empirically evaluate the runtime and approximation quality of our approach.

Political actors frequently manipulate redistricting plans to gain electoral advantages, a process commonly known as gerrymandering. To address this problem, several states have implemented institutional reforms including the establishment of map-drawing commissions. It is difficult to assess the impact of such reforms because each state structures bundles of complex rules in different ways. We propose to model redistricting processes as a sequential game. The equilibrium solution to the game summarizes multi-step institutional interactions as a single dimensional score. This score measures the leeway political actors have over the partisan lean of the final plan. Using a differences-in-differences design, we demonstrate that reforms reduce partisan bias and increase competitiveness when they constrain partisan actors. We perform a counterfactual policy analysis to estimate the partisan effects of enacting recent institutional reforms nationwide. We find that instituting redistricting commissions generally reduces the current Republican advantage, but Michigan-style reforms would yield a much greater pro-Democratic effect than types of redistricting commissions adopted in Ohio and New York.

Interactive coding allows two parties to conduct a distributed computation despite noise corrupting a certain fraction of their communication. Dani et al.\@ (Inf.\@ and Comp., 2018) suggested a novel setting in which the amount of noise is unbounded and can significantly exceed the length of the (noise-free) computation. While no solution is possible in the worst case, under the restriction of oblivious noise, Dani et al.\@ designed a coding scheme that succeeds with a polynomially small failure probability. We revisit the question of conducting computations under this harsh type of noise and devise a computationally-efficient coding scheme that guarantees the success of the computation, except with an exponentially small probability. This higher degree of correctness matches the case of coding schemes with a bounded fraction of noise. Our simulation of an $N$-bit noise-free computation in the presence of $T$ corruptions, communicates an optimal number of $O(N+T)$ bits and succeeds with probability $1-2^{-\Omega(N)}$. We design this coding scheme by introducing an intermediary noise model, where an oblivious adversary can choose the locations of corruptions in a worst-case manner, but the effect of each corruption is random: the noise either flips the transmission with some probability or otherwise erases it. This randomized abstraction turns out to be instrumental in achieving an optimal coding scheme.

While computer vision has proven valuable for medical image segmentation, its application faces challenges such as limited dataset sizes and the complexity of effectively leveraging unlabeled images. To address these challenges, we present a novel semi-supervised, consistency-based approach termed the data-efficient medical segmenter (DEMS). The DEMS features an encoder-decoder architecture and incorporates the developed online automatic augmenter (OAA) and residual robustness enhancement (RRE) blocks. The OAA augments input data with various image transformations, thereby diversifying the dataset to improve the generalization ability. The RRE enriches feature diversity and introduces perturbations to create varied inputs for different decoders, thereby providing enhanced variability. Moreover, we introduce a sensitive loss to further enhance consistency across different decoders and stabilize the training process. Extensive experimental results on both our own and three public datasets affirm the effectiveness of DEMS. Under extreme data shortage scenarios, our DEMS achieves 16.85\% and 10.37\% improvement in dice score compared with the U-Net and top-performed state-of-the-art method, respectively. Given its superior data efficiency, DEMS could present significant advancements in medical segmentation under small data regimes. The project homepage can be accessed at //github.com/NUS-Tim/DEMS.

Understanding the molecules and their textual descriptions via molecule language models (MoLM) recently got a surge of interest among researchers. However, unique challenges exist in the field of MoLM due to 1) a limited amount of molecule-text paired data and 2) missing expertise that occurred due to the specialized areas of focus among the experts. To this end, we propose AMOLE, which 1) augments molecule-text pairs with structural similarity preserving loss, and 2) transfers the expertise between the molecules. Extensive experiments on various downstream tasks demonstrate the superiority of AMOLE in comprehending molecules and their descriptions, highlighting its potential for application in real-world drug discovery.

We introduce the concept of multiple temporal perspectives, a novel approach applicable to Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) architectures for enhancing their understanding of sequential data. This method involves maintaining diverse temporal views of previously encountered text, significantly enriching the language models' capacity to interpret context. To show the efficacy of this approach, we incorporate it into the Receptance Weighted Key Value (RWKV) architecture, addressing its inherent challenge of retaining all historical information within a single hidden state. Notably, this improvement is achieved with a minimal increase in the number of parameters --even as little as $0.04\%$ of the original number of parameters. Further, the additional parameters necessary for the multiple temporal perspectives are fine-tuned with minimal computational overhead, avoiding the need for a full pre-training. The resulting model maintains linear computational complexity during prompt inference, ensuring consistent efficiency across various sequence lengths. The empirical results and ablation studies included in our research validate the effectiveness of our approach, showcasing improved performance across multiple benchmarks. The code, model weights and datasets are open-sourced at: //github.com/RazvanDu/TemporalRNNs.

Translational distance-based knowledge graph embedding has shown progressive improvements on the link prediction task, from TransE to the latest state-of-the-art RotatE. However, N-1, 1-N and N-N predictions still remain challenging. In this work, we propose a novel translational distance-based approach for knowledge graph link prediction. The proposed method includes two-folds, first we extend the RotatE from 2D complex domain to high dimension space with orthogonal transforms to model relations for better modeling capacity. Second, the graph context is explicitly modeled via two directed context representations. These context representations are used as part of the distance scoring function to measure the plausibility of the triples during training and inference. The proposed approach effectively improves prediction accuracy on the difficult N-1, 1-N and N-N cases for knowledge graph link prediction task. The experimental results show that it achieves better performance on two benchmark data sets compared to the baseline RotatE, especially on data set (FB15k-237) with many high in-degree connection nodes.

Automatically creating the description of an image using any natural languages sentence like English is a very challenging task. It requires expertise of both image processing as well as natural language processing. This paper discuss about different available models for image captioning task. We have also discussed about how the advancement in the task of object recognition and machine translation has greatly improved the performance of image captioning model in recent years. In addition to that we have discussed how this model can be implemented. In the end, we have also evaluated the performance of model using standard evaluation matrices.

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have been found to be vulnerable to adversarial examples resulting from adding small-magnitude perturbations to inputs. Such adversarial examples can mislead DNNs to produce adversary-selected results. Different attack strategies have been proposed to generate adversarial examples, but how to produce them with high perceptual quality and more efficiently requires more research efforts. In this paper, we propose AdvGAN to generate adversarial examples with generative adversarial networks (GANs), which can learn and approximate the distribution of original instances. For AdvGAN, once the generator is trained, it can generate adversarial perturbations efficiently for any instance, so as to potentially accelerate adversarial training as defenses. We apply AdvGAN in both semi-whitebox and black-box attack settings. In semi-whitebox attacks, there is no need to access the original target model after the generator is trained, in contrast to traditional white-box attacks. In black-box attacks, we dynamically train a distilled model for the black-box model and optimize the generator accordingly. Adversarial examples generated by AdvGAN on different target models have high attack success rate under state-of-the-art defenses compared to other attacks. Our attack has placed the first with 92.76% accuracy on a public MNIST black-box attack challenge.
