Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are the predominant model used for a variety of medical image analysis tasks. At inference time, these models are computationally intensive, especially with volumetric data. In principle, it is possible to trade accuracy for computational efficiency by manipulating the rescaling factor in the downsample and upsample layers of CNN architectures. However, properly exploring the accuracy-efficiency trade-off is prohibitively expensive with existing models. To address this, we introduce Scale-Space HyperNetworks (SSHN), a method that learns a spectrum of CNNs with varying internal rescaling factors. A single SSHN characterizes an entire Pareto accuracy-efficiency curve of models that match, and occasionally surpass, the outcomes of training many separate networks with fixed rescaling factors. We demonstrate the proposed approach in several medical image analysis applications, comparing SSHN against strategies with both fixed and dynamic rescaling factors. We find that SSHN consistently provides a better accuracy-efficiency trade-off at a fraction of the training cost. Trained SSHNs enable the user to quickly choose a rescaling factor that appropriately balances accuracy and computational efficiency for their particular needs at inference.

Fast development in science and technology has driven the need for proper statistical tools to capture special data features such as abrupt changes or sharp contrast. Many applications in the data science seek spatiotemporal reconstruction from a sequence of time-dependent objects with discontinuity or singularity, e.g. dynamic computerized tomography (CT) images with edges. Traditional methods based on Gaussian processes (GP) may not provide satisfactory solutions since they tend to offer over-smooth prior candidates. Recently, Besov process (BP) defined by wavelet expansions with random coefficients has been proposed as a more appropriate prior for this type of Bayesian inverse problems. While BP outperforms GP in imaging analysis to produce edge-preserving reconstructions, it does not automatically incorporate temporal correlation inherited in the dynamically changing images. In this paper, we generalize BP to the spatiotemporal domain (STBP) by replacing the random coefficients in the series expansion with stochastic time functions following Q-exponential process which governs the temporal correlation strength. Mathematical and statistical properties about STBP are carefully studied. A white-noise representation of STBP is also proposed to facilitate the point estimation through maximum a posterior (MAP) and the uncertainty quantification (UQ) by posterior sampling. Two limited-angle CT reconstruction examples and a highly non-linear inverse problem involving Navier-Stokes equation are used to demonstrate the advantage of the proposed STBP in preserving spatial features while accounting for temporal changes compared with the classic STGP and a time-uncorrelated approach.

In this paper, we are concerned with efficiently solving the sequences of regularized linear least squares problems associated with employing Tikhonov-type regularization with regularization operators designed to enforce edge recovery. An optimal regularization parameter, which balances the fidelity to the data with the edge-enforcing constraint term, is typically not known a priori. This adds to the total number of regularized linear least squares problems that must be solved before the final image can be recovered. Therefore, in this paper, we determine effective multigrid preconditioners for these sequences of systems. We focus our approach on the sequences that arise as a result of the edge-preserving method introduced in [6], where we can exploit an interpretation of the regularization term as a diffusion operator; however, our methods are also applicable in other edge-preserving settings, such as iteratively reweighted least squares problems. Particular attention is paid to the selection of components of the multigrid preconditioner in order to achieve robustness for different ranges of the regularization parameter value. In addition, we present a parameter culling approach that, when used with the L-curve heuristic, reduces the total number of solves required. We demonstrate our preconditioning and parameter culling routines on examples in computed tomography and image deblurring.

The recurrent neural network has been greatly developed for effectively solving time-varying problems corresponding to complex environments. However, limited by the way of centralized processing, the model performance is greatly affected by factors like the silos problems of the models and data in reality. Therefore, the emergence of distributed artificial intelligence such as federated learning (FL) makes it possible for the dynamic aggregation among models. However, the integration process of FL is still server-dependent, which may cause a great risk to the overall model. Also, it only allows collaboration between homogeneous models, and does not have a good solution for the interaction between heterogeneous models. Therefore, we propose a Distributed Computation Model (DCM) based on the consortium blockchain network to improve the credibility of the overall model and effective coordination among heterogeneous models. In addition, a Distributed Hierarchical Integration (DHI) algorithm is also designed for the global solution process. Within a group, permissioned nodes collect the local models' results from different permissionless nodes and then sends the aggregated results back to all the permissionless nodes to regularize the processing of the local models. After the iteration is completed, the secondary integration of the local results will be performed between permission nodes to obtain the global results. In the experiments, we verify the efficiency of DCM, where the results show that the proposed model outperforms many state-of-the-art models based on a federated learning framework.

The planted coloring problem is a prototypical inference problem for which thresholds for Bayes optimal algorithms, like Belief Propagation (BP), can be computed analytically. In this paper, we analyze the limits and performances of the Simulated Annealing (SA), a Monte Carlo-based algorithm that is more general and robust than BP, and thus of broader applicability. We show that SA is sub-optimal in the recovery of the planted solution because it gets attracted by glassy states that, instead, do not influence the BP algorithm. At variance with previous conjectures, we propose an analytic estimation for the SA algorithmic threshold by comparing the spinodal point of the paramagnetic phase and the dynamical critical temperature. This is a fundamental connection between thermodynamical phase transitions and out of equilibrium behavior of Glauber dynamics. We also study an improved version of SA, called replicated SA (RSA), where several weakly coupled replicas are cooled down together. We show numerical evidence that the algorithmic threshold for the RSA coincides with the Bayes optimal one. Finally, we develop an approximated analytical theory explaining the optimal performances of RSA and predicting the location of the transition towards the planted solution in the limit of a very large number of replicas. Our results for RSA support the idea that mismatching the parameters in the prior with respect to those of the generative model may produce an algorithm that is optimal and very robust.

Partial orders are a natural model for the social hierarchies that may constrain "queue-like" rank-order data. However, the computational cost of counting the linear extensions of a general partial order on a ground set with more than a few tens of elements is prohibitive. Vertex-series-parallel partial orders (VSPs) are a subclass of partial orders which admit rapid counting and represent the sorts of relations we expect to see in a social hierarchy. However, no Bayesian analysis of VSPs has been given to date. We construct a marginally consistent family of priors over VSPs with a parameter controlling the prior distribution over VSP depth. The prior for VSPs is given in closed form. We extend an existing observation model for queue-like rank-order data to represent noise in our data and carry out Bayesian inference on "Royal Acta" data and Formula 1 race data. Model comparison shows our model is a better fit to the data than Plackett-Luce mixtures, Mallows mixtures, and "bucket order" models and competitive with more complex models fitting general partial orders.

Suppose we are given access to $n$ independent samples from distribution $\mu$ and we wish to output one of them with the goal of making the output distributed as close as possible to a target distribution $\nu$. In this work we show that the optimal total variation distance as a function of $n$ is given by $\tilde\Theta(\frac{D}{f'(n)})$ over the class of all pairs $\nu,\mu$ with a bounded $f$-divergence $D_f(\nu\|\mu)\leq D$. Previously, this question was studied only for the case when the Radon-Nikodym derivative of $\nu$ with respect to $\mu$ is uniformly bounded. We then consider an application in the seemingly very different field of smoothed online learning, where we show that recent results on the minimax regret and the regret of oracle-efficient algorithms still hold even under relaxed constraints on the adversary (to have bounded $f$-divergence, as opposed to bounded Radon-Nikodym derivative). Finally, we also study efficacy of importance sampling for mean estimates uniform over a function class and compare importance sampling with rejection sampling.

While there exists several inferential methods for analyzing functional data in factorial designs, there is a lack of statistical tests that are valid (i) in general designs, (ii) under non-restrictive assumptions on the data generating process and (iii) allow for coherent post-hoc analyses. In particular, most existing methods assume Gaussianity or equal covariance functions across groups (homoscedasticity) and are only applicable for specific study designs that do not allow for evaluation of interactions. Moreover, all available strategies are only designed for testing global hypotheses and do not directly allow a more in-depth analysis of multiple local hypotheses. To address the first two problems (i)-(ii), we propose flexible integral-type test statistics that are applicable in general factorial designs under minimal assumptions on the data generating process. In particular, we neither postulate homoscedasticity nor Gaussianity. To approximate the statistics' null distribution, we adopt a resampling approach and validate it methodologically. Finally, we use our flexible testing framework to (iii) infer several local null hypotheses simultaneously. To allow for powerful data analysis, we thereby take the complex dependencies of the different local test statistics into account. In extensive simulations we confirm that the new methods are flexibly applicable. Two illustrate data analyses complete our study. The new testing procedures are implemented in the R package multiFANOVA, which will be available on CRAN soon.

Spatiotemporal traffic data imputation (STDI), estimating the missing value from partially observed traffic data, is an inevitable and challenging task in data-driven intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Due to the traffic data's multidimensionality, we transform the traffic matrix into the 3rd-order tensor and propose an innovative manifold regularized Tucker decomposition (ManiRTD) model for STDI. ManiRTD considers the sparsity of the Tucker core tensor to constrain the low rankness and employs manifold regularization and the Toeplitz matrix to enhance the model performance. We address the ManiRTD model through a block coordinate descent framework under alternating proximal gradient updating rules with convergence-guaranteed. Numerical experiments on real-world spatiotemporal traffic datasets (STDs) demonstrate that our proposed model is superior to the other baselines under various missing scenarios.

Computational optimal transport (OT) has recently emerged as a powerful framework with applications in various fields. In this paper we focus on a relaxation of the original OT problem, the entropic OT problem, which allows to implement efficient and practical algorithmic solutions, even in high dimensional settings. This formulation, also known as the Schr\"odinger Bridge problem, notably connects with Stochastic Optimal Control (SOC) and can be solved with the popular Sinkhorn algorithm. In the case of discrete-state spaces, this algorithm is known to have exponential convergence; however, achieving a similar rate of convergence in a more general setting is still an active area of research. In this work, we analyze the convergence of the Sinkhorn algorithm for probability measures defined on the $d$-dimensional torus $\mathbb{T}_L^d$, that admit densities with respect to the Haar measure of $\mathbb{T}_L^d$. In particular, we prove pointwise exponential convergence of Sinkhorn iterates and their gradient. Our proof relies on the connection between these iterates and the evolution along the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations of value functions obtained from SOC-problems. Our approach is novel in that it is purely probabilistic and relies on coupling by reflection techniques for controlled diffusions on the torus.
