Our focus is on robust recovery algorithms in statistical linear inverse problem. We consider two recovery routines - the much studied linear estimate originating from Kuks and Olman [42] and polyhedral estimate introduced in [37]. It was shown in [38] that risk of these estimates can be tightly upper-bounded for a wide range of a priori information about the model through solving a convex optimization problem, leading to a computationally efficient implementation of nearly optimal estimates of these types. The subject of the present paper is design and analysis of linear and polyhedral estimates which are robust with respect to the uncertainty in the observation matrix. We evaluate performance of robust estimates under stochastic and deterministic matrix uncertainty and show how the estimation risk can be bounded by the optimal value of efficiently solvable convex optimization problem; "presumably good" estimates of both types are then obtained through optimization of the risk bounds with respect to estimate parameters.

This work studies the meta distribution (MD) in a two-user partial non-orthogonal multiple access (pNOMA) network. Compared to NOMA where users fully share a resource-element, pNOMA allows sharing only a fraction $\alpha$ of the resource-element. The MD is computed via moment-matching using the first two moments where reduced integral expressions are derived. Accurate approximates are also proposed for the $b{\rm th}$ moment for mathematical tractability. We show that in terms of percentile-performance of links, pNOMA only outperforms NOMA when $\alpha$ is small. Additionally, pNOMA improves the percentile-performance of the weak-user more than the strong-user highlighting its role in improving fairness.

This paper presents a novel unifying framework of bilinear LSTMs that can represent and utilize the nonlinear interaction of the input features present in sequence datasets for achieving superior performance over a linear LSTM and yet not incur more parameters to be learned. To realize this, our unifying framework allows the expressivity of the linear vs. bilinear terms to be balanced by correspondingly trading off between the hidden state vector size vs. approximation quality of the weight matrix in the bilinear term so as to optimize the performance of our bilinear LSTM, while not incurring more parameters to be learned. We empirically evaluate the performance of our bilinear LSTM in several language-based sequence learning tasks to demonstrate its general applicability.

Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) emerged as a promising solution in the field of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), attracting the attention of researchers due to their ability to mimic the human brain and process complex information with remarkable speed and accuracy. This research aimed to optimise the training process of Liquid State Machines (LSMs), a recurrent architecture of SNNs, by identifying the most effective weight range to be assigned in SNN to achieve the least difference between desired and actual output. The experimental results showed that by using spike metrics and a range of weights, the desired output and the actual output of spiking neurons could be effectively optimised, leading to improved performance of SNNs. The results were tested and confirmed using three different weight initialisation approaches, with the best results obtained using the Barabasi-Albert random graph method.

In this note we highlight some connections of UMAP to the basic principles of Information Geometry. Originally, UMAP was derived from Category Theory observations. However, we posit that it also has a natural geometric interpretation.

A well-known approach in the design of efficient algorithms, called matrix sparsification, approximates a matrix $A$ with a sparse matrix $A'$. Achlioptas and McSherry [2007] initiated a long line of work on spectral-norm sparsification, which aims to guarantee that $\|A'-A\|\leq \epsilon \|A\|$ for error parameter $\epsilon>0$. Various forms of matrix approximation motivate considering this problem with a guarantee according to the Schatten $p$-norm for general $p$, which includes the spectral norm as the special case $p=\infty$. We investigate the relation between fixed but different $p\neq q$, that is, whether sparsification in the Schatten $p$-norm implies (existentially and/or algorithmically) sparsification in the Schatten $q\text{-norm}$ with similar sparsity. An affirmative answer could be tremendously useful, as it will identify which value of $p$ to focus on. Our main finding is a surprising contrast between this question and the analogous case of $\ell_p$-norm sparsification for vectors: For vectors, the answer is affirmative for $p<q$ and negative for $p>q$, but for matrices we answer negatively for almost all sufficiently distinct $p\neq q$. In addition, our explicit constructions may be of independent interest.

Normalizing Flows (NFs) describe a class of models that express a complex target distribution as the composition of a series of bijective transformations over a simpler base distribution. By limiting the space of candidate transformations to diffeomorphisms, NFs enjoy efficient, exact sampling and density evaluation, enabling NFs to flexibly behave as both discriminative and generative models. Their restriction to diffeomorphisms, however, enforces that input, output and all intermediary spaces share the same dimension, limiting their ability to effectively represent target distributions with complex topologies. Additionally, in cases where the prior and target distributions are not homeomorphic, Normalizing Flows can leak mass outside of the support of the target. This survey covers a selection of recent works that combine aspects of other generative model classes, such as VAEs and score-based diffusion, and in doing so loosen the strict bijectivity constraints of NFs to achieve a balance of expressivity, training speed, sample efficiency and likelihood tractability.

Malware authors often use cryptographic tools such as XOR encryption and block ciphers like AES to obfuscate part of the malware to evade detection. Use of cryptography may give the impression that these obfuscation techniques have some provable guarantees of success. In this paper, we take a closer look at the use of cryptographic tools to obfuscate malware. We first find that most techniques are easy to defeat (in principle), since the decryption algorithm and the key is shipped within the program. In order to clearly define an obfuscation technique's potential to evade detection we propose a principled definition of malware obfuscation, and then categorize instances of malware obfuscation that use cryptographic tools into those which evade detection and those which are detectable. We find that schemes that are hard to de-obfuscate necessarily rely on a construct based on environmental keying. We also show that cryptographic notions of obfuscation, e.g., indistinghuishability and virtual black box obfuscation, may not guarantee evasion detection under our model. However, they can be used in conjunction with environmental keying to produce hard to de-obfuscate version of programs.

This paper offers a comprehensive review of the research on Natural Language Generation (NLG) over the past two decades, especially in relation to data-to-text generation and text-to-text generation deep learning methods, as well as new applications of NLG technology. This survey aims to (a) give the latest synthesis of deep learning research on the NLG core tasks, as well as the architectures adopted in the field; (b) detail meticulously and comprehensively various NLG tasks and datasets, and draw attention to the challenges in NLG evaluation, focusing on different evaluation methods and their relationships; (c) highlight some future emphasis and relatively recent research issues that arise due to the increasing synergy between NLG and other artificial intelligence areas, such as computer vision, text and computational creativity.

Residual networks (ResNets) have displayed impressive results in pattern recognition and, recently, have garnered considerable theoretical interest due to a perceived link with neural ordinary differential equations (neural ODEs). This link relies on the convergence of network weights to a smooth function as the number of layers increases. We investigate the properties of weights trained by stochastic gradient descent and their scaling with network depth through detailed numerical experiments. We observe the existence of scaling regimes markedly different from those assumed in neural ODE literature. Depending on certain features of the network architecture, such as the smoothness of the activation function, one may obtain an alternative ODE limit, a stochastic differential equation or neither of these. These findings cast doubts on the validity of the neural ODE model as an adequate asymptotic description of deep ResNets and point to an alternative class of differential equations as a better description of the deep network limit.
