Current quantum hardware prohibits any direct use of large classical datasets. Coresets allow for a succinct description of these large datasets and their solution in a computational task is competitive with the solution on the original dataset. The method of combining coresets with small quantum computers to solve a given task that requires a large number of data points was first introduced by Harrow [arXiv:2004.00026]. In this paper, we apply the coreset method in three different well-studied classical machine learning problems, namely Divisive Clustering, 3-means Clustering, and Gaussian Mixture Model Clustering. We provide a Hamiltonian formulation of the aforementioned problems for which the number of qubits scales linearly with the size of the coreset. Then, we evaluate how the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) performs on these problems and demonstrate the practical efficiency of coresets when used along with a small quantum computer. We perform noiseless simulations on instances of sizes up to 25 qubits on CUDA Quantum and show that our approach provides comparable performance to classical solvers.

Municipalities are vulnerable to cyberattacks with devastating consequences, but they lack key information to evaluate their own risk and compare their security posture to peers. Using data from 83 municipalities collected via a cryptographically secure computation platform about their security posture, incidents, security control failures, and losses, we build data-driven cyber risk models and cyber security benchmarks for municipalities. We produce benchmarks of the security posture in a sector, the frequency of cyber incidents, forecasted annual losses for organizations based on their defensive posture, and a weighting of cyber controls based on their individual failure rates and associated losses. Combined, these four items can help guide cyber policymaking by quantifying the cyber risk in a sector, identifying gaps that need to be addressed, prioritizing policy interventions, and tracking progress of those interventions over time. In the case of the municipalities, these newly derived risk measures highlight the need for continuous measured improvement of cybersecurity readiness, show clear areas of weakness and strength, and provide governments with some early targets for policy focus such as security education, incident response, and focusing efforts first on municipalities at the lowest security levels that have the highest risk reduction per security dollar invested.

Deep generative models are key-enabling technology to computer vision, text generation and large language models. Denoising diffusion probabilistic models (DDPMs) have recently gained much attention due to their ability to generate diverse and high-quality samples in many computer vision tasks, as well as to incorporate flexible model architectures and relatively simple training scheme. Quantum generative models, empowered by entanglement and superposition, have brought new insight to learning classical and quantum data. Inspired by the classical counterpart, we propose the \emph{quantum denoising diffusion probabilistic model} (QuDDPM) to enable efficiently trainable generative learning of quantum data. QuDDPM adopts sufficient layers of circuits to guarantee expressivity, while introduces multiple intermediate training tasks as interpolation between the target distribution and noise to avoid barren plateau and guarantee efficient training. We provide bounds on the learning error and demonstrate QuDDPM's capability in learning correlated quantum noise model, quantum many-body phases and topological structure of quantum data. The results provide a paradigm for versatile and efficient quantum generative learning.

Latitude on the choice of initialisation is a shared feature between one-step extended state-space and multi-step methods. The paper focuses on lattice Boltzmann schemes, which can be interpreted as examples of both previous categories of numerical schemes. We propose a modified equation analysis of the initialisation schemes for lattice Boltzmann methods, determined by the choice of initial data. These modified equations provide guidelines to devise and analyze the initialisation in terms of order of consistency with respect to the target Cauchy problem and time smoothness of the numerical solution. In detail, the larger the number of matched terms between modified equations for initialisation and bulk methods, the smoother the obtained numerical solution. This is particularly manifest for numerical dissipation. Starting from the constraints to achieve time smoothness, which can quickly become prohibitive for they have to take the parasitic modes into consideration, we explain how the distinct lack of observability for certain lattice Boltzmann schemes -- seen as dynamical systems on a commutative ring -- can yield rather simple conditions and be easily studied as far as their initialisation is concerned. This comes from the reduced number of initialisation schemes at the fully discrete level. These theoretical results are successfully assessed on several lattice Boltzmann methods.

In recent years, deep learning has gained increasing popularity in the fields of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) and Reduced Order Modeling (ROM), providing domain practitioners with new powerful data-driven techniques such as Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), Neural Operators, Deep Operator Networks (DeepONets) and Deep-Learning based ROMs (DL-ROMs). In this context, deep autoencoders based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have proven extremely effective, outperforming established techniques, such as the reduced basis method, when dealing with complex nonlinear problems. However, despite the empirical success of CNN-based autoencoders, there are only a few theoretical results supporting these architectures, usually stated in the form of universal approximation theorems. In particular, although the existing literature provides users with guidelines for designing convolutional autoencoders, the subsequent challenge of learning the latent features has been barely investigated. Furthermore, many practical questions remain unanswered, e.g., the number of snapshots needed for convergence or the neural network training strategy. In this work, using recent techniques from sparse high-dimensional function approximation, we fill some of these gaps by providing a new practical existence theorem for CNN-based autoencoders when the parameter-to-solution map is holomorphic. This regularity assumption arises in many relevant classes of parametric PDEs, such as the parametric diffusion equation, for which we discuss an explicit application of our general theory.

We propose a new numerical domain decomposition method for solving elliptic equations on compact Riemannian manifolds. One advantage of this method is its ability to bypass the need for global triangulations or grids on the manifolds. Additionally, it features a highly parallel iterative scheme. To verify its efficacy, we conduct numerical experiments on some $4$-dimensional manifolds without and with boundary.

Fully Bayesian methods for Cox models specify a model for the baseline hazard function. Parametric approaches generally provide monotone estimations. Semi-parametric choices allow for more flexible patterns but they can suffer from overfitting and instability. Regularization methods through prior distributions with correlated structures usually give reasonable answers to these types of situations. We discuss Bayesian regularization for Cox survival models defined via flexible baseline hazards specified by a mixture of piecewise constant functions and by a cubic B-spline function. For those "semiparametric" proposals, different prior scenarios ranging from prior independence to particular correlated structures are discussed in a real study with micro-virulence data and in an extensive simulation scenario that includes different data sample and time axis partition sizes in order to capture risk variations. The posterior distribution of the parameters was approximated using Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. Model selection was performed in accordance with the Deviance Information Criteria and the Log Pseudo-Marginal Likelihood. The results obtained reveal that, in general, Cox models present great robustness in covariate effects and survival estimates independent of the baseline hazard specification. In relation to the "semi-parametric" baseline hazard specification, the B-splines hazard function is less dependent on the regularization process than the piecewise specification because it demands a smaller time axis partition to estimate a similar behaviour of the risk.

Attention is the brain's mechanism for selectively processing specific stimuli while filtering out irrelevant information. Characterizing changes in attention following long-term interventions (such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)) has seldom been emphasized in the literature. To classify attention performance post-tDCS, this study uses functional connectivity and machine learning algorithms. Fifty individuals were split into experimental and control conditions. On Day 1, EEG data was obtained as subjects executed an attention task. From Day 2 through Day 8, the experimental group was administered 1mA tDCS, while the control group received sham tDCS. On Day 10, subjects repeated the task mentioned on Day 1. Functional connectivity metrics were used to classify attention performance using various machine learning methods. Results revealed that combining the Adaboost model and recursive feature elimination yielded a classification accuracy of 91.84%. We discuss the implications of our results in developing neurofeedback frameworks to assess attention.

Among semiparametric regression models, partially linear additive models provide a useful tool to include additive nonparametric components as well as a parametric component, when explaining the relationship between the response and a set of explanatory variables. This paper concerns such models under sparsity assumptions for the covariates included in the linear component. Sparse covariates are frequent in regression problems where the task of variable selection is usually of interest. As in other settings, outliers either in the residuals or in the covariates involved in the linear component have a harmful effect. To simultaneously achieve model selection for the parametric component of the model and resistance to outliers, we combine preliminary robust estimators of the additive component, robust linear $MM-$regression estimators with a penalty such as SCAD on the coefficients in the parametric part. Under mild assumptions, consistency results and rates of convergence for the proposed estimators are derived. A Monte Carlo study is carried out to compare, under different models and contamination schemes, the performance of the robust proposal with its classical counterpart. The obtained results show the advantage of using the robust approach. Through the analysis of a real data set, we also illustrate the benefits of the proposed procedure.

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.
