Brain-inspired Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) have the characteristics of event-driven and high energy-efficient, which are different from traditional Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) when deployed on edge devices such as neuromorphic chips. Most previous work focuses on SNNs training strategies to improve model performance and brings larger and deeper network architectures. It is difficult to deploy these complex networks on resource-limited edge devices directly. To meet such demand, people compress SNNs very cautiously to balance the performance and the computation efficiency. Existing compression methods either iteratively pruned SNNs using weights norm magnitude or formulated the problem as a sparse learning optimization. We propose an improved end-to-end Minimax optimization method for this sparse learning problem to better balance the model performance and the computation efficiency. We also demonstrate that jointly applying compression and finetuning on SNNs is better than sequentially, especially for extreme compression ratios. The compressed SNN models achieved state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance on various benchmark datasets and architectures. Our code is available at //github.com/chenjallen/Resource-Constrained-Compression-on-SNN.

To mitigate the necessity for large amounts of supervised segmentation annotation sets, multiple Weakly Supervised Semantic Segmentation (WSSS) strategies have been devised. These will often rely on advanced data and model regularization strategies to instigate the development of useful properties (e.g., prediction completeness and fidelity to semantic boundaries) in segmentation priors, notwithstanding the lack of annotated information. In this work, we first create a strong baseline by analyzing complementary WSSS techniques and regularizing strategies, considering their strengths and limitations. We then propose a new Class-specific Adversarial Erasing strategy, comprising two adversarial CAM generating networks being gradually refined to produce robust semantic segmentation proposals. Empirical results suggest that our approach induces substantial improvement in the effectiveness of the baseline, resulting in a noticeable improvement over both Pascal VOC 2012 and MS COCO 2014 datasets.

Reinforcement Learning (RL) provides a powerful framework for decision-making in complex environments. However, implementing RL in hardware-efficient and bio-inspired ways remains a challenge. This paper presents a novel Spiking Neural Network (SNN) architecture for solving RL problems with real-valued observations. The proposed model incorporates multi-layered event-based clustering, with the addition of Temporal Difference (TD)-error modulation and eligibility traces, building upon prior work. An ablation study confirms the significant impact of these components on the proposed model's performance. A tabular actor-critic algorithm with eligibility traces and a state-of-the-art Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) algorithm are used as benchmarks. Our network consistently outperforms the tabular approach and successfully discovers stable control policies on classic RL environments: mountain car, cart-pole, and acrobot. The proposed model offers an appealing trade-off in terms of computational and hardware implementation requirements. The model does not require an external memory buffer nor a global error gradient computation, and synaptic updates occur online, driven by local learning rules and a broadcasted TD-error signal. Thus, this work contributes to the development of more hardware-efficient RL solutions.

Poor performance of quantitative analysis in histopathological Whole Slide Images (WSI) has been a significant obstacle in clinical practice. Annotating large-scale WSIs manually is a demanding and time-consuming task, unlikely to yield the expected results when used for fully supervised learning systems. Rarely observed disease patterns and large differences in object scales are difficult to model through conventional patient intake. Prior methods either fall back to direct disease classification, which only requires learning a few factors per image, or report on average image segmentation performance, which is highly biased towards majority observations. Geometric image augmentation is commonly used to improve robustness for average case predictions and to enrich limited datasets. So far no method provided sampling of a realistic posterior distribution to improve stability, e.g. for the segmentation of imbalanced objects within images. Therefore, we propose a new approach, based on diffusion models, which can enrich an imbalanced dataset with plausible examples from underrepresented groups by conditioning on segmentation maps. Our method can simply expand limited clinical datasets making them suitable to train machine learning pipelines, and provides an interpretable and human-controllable way of generating histopathology images that are indistinguishable from real ones to human experts. We validate our findings on two datasets, one from the public domain and one from a Kidney Transplant study.

Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) are promising energy-efficient models for neuromorphic computing. For training the non-differentiable SNN models, the backpropagation through time (BPTT) with surrogate gradients (SG) method has achieved high performance. However, this method suffers from considerable memory cost and training time during training. In this paper, we propose the Spatial Learning Through Time (SLTT) method that can achieve high performance while greatly improving training efficiency compared with BPTT. First, we show that the backpropagation of SNNs through the temporal domain contributes just a little to the final calculated gradients. Thus, we propose to ignore the unimportant routes in the computational graph during backpropagation. The proposed method reduces the number of scalar multiplications and achieves a small memory occupation that is independent of the total time steps. Furthermore, we propose a variant of SLTT, called SLTT-K, that allows backpropagation only at K time steps, then the required number of scalar multiplications is further reduced and is independent of the total time steps. Experiments on both static and neuromorphic datasets demonstrate superior training efficiency and performance of our SLTT. In particular, our method achieves state-of-the-art accuracy on ImageNet, while the memory cost and training time are reduced by more than 70% and 50%, respectively, compared with BPTT.

We develop the Randomized Neural Networks with Petrov-Galerkin Methods (RNN-PG methods) to solve linear elasticity problems. RNN-PG methods use Petrov-Galerkin variational framework, where the solution is approximated by randomized neural networks and the test functions are piecewise polynomials. Unlike conventional neural networks, the parameters of the hidden layers of the randomized neural networks are fixed randomly, while the parameters of the output layer are determined by the least square method, which can effectively approximate the solution. We also develop mixed RNN-PG methods for linear elasticity problems, which ensure the symmetry of the stress tensor and avoid locking effects. We compare RNN-PG methods with the finite element method, the mixed discontinuous Galerkin method, and the physics-informed neural network on several examples, and the numerical results demonstrate that RNN-PG methods achieve higher accuracy and efficiency.

This paper shows that the heterogeneity in neuronal and synaptic dynamics reduces the spiking activity of a Recurrent Spiking Neural Network (RSNN) while improving prediction performance, enabling spike-efficient (unsupervised) learning. We analytically show that the diversity in neurons' integration/relaxation dynamics improves an RSNN's ability to learn more distinct input patterns (higher memory capacity), leading to improved classification and prediction performance. We further prove that heterogeneous Spike-Timing-Dependent-Plasticity (STDP) dynamics of synapses reduce spiking activity but preserve memory capacity. The analytical results motivate Heterogeneous RSNN design using Bayesian optimization to determine heterogeneity in neurons and synapses to improve $\mathcal{E}$, defined as the ratio of spiking activity and memory capacity. The empirical results on time series classification and prediction tasks show that optimized HRSNN increases performance and reduces spiking activity compared to a homogeneous RSNN.

We investigate the problem of estimating the structure of a weighted network from repeated measurements of a Gaussian Graphical Model (GGM) on the network. In this vein, we consider GGMs whose covariance structures align with the geometry of the weighted network on which they are based. Such GGMs have been of longstanding interest in statistical physics, and are referred to as the Gaussian Free Field (GFF). In recent years, they have attracted considerable interest in the machine learning and theoretical computer science. In this work, we propose a novel estimator for the weighted network (equivalently, its Laplacian) from repeated measurements of a GFF on the network, based on the Fourier analytic properties of the Gaussian distribution. In this pursuit, our approach exploits complex-valued statistics constructed from observed data, that are of interest on their own right. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our estimator with concrete recovery guarantees and bounds on the required sample complexity. In particular, we show that the proposed statistic achieves the parametric rate of estimation for fixed network size. In the setting of networks growing with sample size, our results show that for Erdos-Renyi random graphs $G(d,p)$ above the connectivity threshold, we demonstrate that network recovery takes place with high probability as soon as the sample size $n$ satisfies $n \gg d^4 \log d \cdot p^{-2}$.

Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as powerful tools in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and have recently gained significant attention in the domain of Recommendation Systems (RS). These models, trained on massive amounts of data using self-supervised learning, have demonstrated remarkable success in learning universal representations and have the potential to enhance various aspects of recommendation systems by some effective transfer techniques such as fine-tuning and prompt tuning, and so on. The crucial aspect of harnessing the power of language models in enhancing recommendation quality is the utilization of their high-quality representations of textual features and their extensive coverage of external knowledge to establish correlations between items and users. To provide a comprehensive understanding of the existing LLM-based recommendation systems, this survey presents a taxonomy that categorizes these models into two major paradigms, respectively Discriminative LLM for Recommendation (DLLM4Rec) and Generative LLM for Recommendation (GLLM4Rec), with the latter being systematically sorted out for the first time. Furthermore, we systematically review and analyze existing LLM-based recommendation systems within each paradigm, providing insights into their methodologies, techniques, and performance. Additionally, we identify key challenges and several valuable findings to provide researchers and practitioners with inspiration. We have also created a GitHub repository to index relevant papers on LLMs for recommendation, //github.com/WLiK/LLM4Rec.

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have recently become increasingly popular due to their ability to learn complex systems of relations or interactions arising in a broad spectrum of problems ranging from biology and particle physics to social networks and recommendation systems. Despite the plethora of different models for deep learning on graphs, few approaches have been proposed thus far for dealing with graphs that present some sort of dynamic nature (e.g. evolving features or connectivity over time). In this paper, we present Temporal Graph Networks (TGNs), a generic, efficient framework for deep learning on dynamic graphs represented as sequences of timed events. Thanks to a novel combination of memory modules and graph-based operators, TGNs are able to significantly outperform previous approaches being at the same time more computationally efficient. We furthermore show that several previous models for learning on dynamic graphs can be cast as specific instances of our framework. We perform a detailed ablation study of different components of our framework and devise the best configuration that achieves state-of-the-art performance on several transductive and inductive prediction tasks for dynamic graphs.
