While it is established that neural networks suffer from catastrophic forgetting ``at the output level'', it is debated whether this is also the case at the level of representations. Some studies ascribe a certain level of innate robustness to representations, that they only forget minimally and no critical information, while others claim that representations are also severely affected by forgetting. To settle this debate, we first discuss how this apparent disagreement might stem from the coexistence of two phenomena that affect the quality of continually learned representations: knowledge accumulation and feature forgetting. We then show that, even though it is true that feature forgetting can be small in absolute terms, newly learned information is forgotten just as catastrophically at the level of representations as it is at the output level. Next we show that this feature forgetting is problematic as it substantially slows down knowledge accumulation. We further show that representations that are continually learned through both supervised and self-supervised learning suffer from feature forgetting. Finally, we study how feature forgetting and knowledge accumulation are affected by different types of continual learning methods.

This study employs machine learning models to predict the failure of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) lending platforms, specifically in China. By employing the filter method and wrapper method with forward selection and backward elimination, we establish a rigorous and practical procedure that ensures the robustness and importance of variables in predicting platform failures. The research identifies a set of robust variables that consistently appear in the feature subsets across different selection methods and models, suggesting their reliability and relevance in predicting platform failures. The study highlights that reducing the number of variables in the feature subset leads to an increase in the false acceptance rate while the performance metrics remain stable, with an AUC value of approximately 0.96 and an F1 score of around 0.88. The findings of this research provide significant practical implications for regulatory authorities and investors operating in the Chinese P2P lending industry.

The subrank of tensors is a measure of how much a tensor can be ''diagonalized''. This parameter was introduced by Strassen to study fast matrix multiplication algorithms in algebraic complexity theory and is closely related to many central tensor parameters (e.g. slice rank, partition rank, analytic rank, geometric rank, G-stable rank) and problems in combinatorics, computer science and quantum information theory. Strassen (J. Reine Angew. Math., 1988) proved that there is a gap in the subrank when taking large powers under the tensor product: either the subrank of all powers is at most one, or it grows as a power of a constant strictly larger than one. In this paper, we precisely determine this constant for tensors of any order. Additionally, for tensors of order three, we prove that there is a second gap in the possible rates of growth. Our results strengthen the recent work of Costa and Dalai (J. Comb. Theory, Ser. A, 2021), who proved a similar gap for the slice rank. Our theorem on the subrank has wider applications by implying such gaps not only for the slice rank, but for any ``normalized monotone''. In order to prove the main result, we characterize when a tensor has a very structured tensor (the W-tensor) in its orbit closure. Our methods include degenerations in Grassmanians, which may be of independent interest.

Age of information (AoI) and reliability are two critical metrics to support real-time applications in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). These metrics reflect different concepts of timely delivery of sensor information. Monitoring traffic serves to maintain fresh status updates, expressed in a low AoI, which is important for proper control and actuation actions. On the other hand, safety-critical information, e.g., emergency alarms, is generated sporadically and must be delivered with high reliability within a predefined deadline. In this work, we investigate the AoI-reliability trade-off in a real-time monitoring scenario that supports two traffic flows, namely AoI-oriented traffic and deadline-oriented traffic. Both traffic flows are transmitted to a central controller over an unreliable shared channel. We derive expressions of the average AoI for the AoI-oriented traffic and reliability, represented by Packet Loss Probability (PLP), for the deadline-oriented traffic using Discrete-Time Markov Chain (DTMC). We also conduct discrete-event simulations in MATLAB to validate the analytical results and evaluate the interaction between the two types of traffic flows. The results clearly demonstrate the tradeoff between the AoI and PLP in such heterogeneous IIoT networks and give insights on how to configure the network to achieve a target pair of AoI and PLP.

In robotics, Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) are increasingly recognized for their largely-unrealized potential energy efficiency and low latency particularly when implemented on neuromorphic hardware. Our paper highlights three advancements for SNNs in Visual Place Recognition (VPR). First, we propose Modular SNNs, where each SNN represents a set of non-overlapping geographically distinct places, enabling scalable networks for large environments. Secondly, we present Ensembles of Modular SNNs, where multiple networks represent the same place, significantly enhancing accuracy compared to single-network models. Our SNNs are compact and small, comprising only 1500 neurons and 474k synapses, which makes them ideally suited for ensembling due to this small size. Lastly, we investigate the role of sequence matching in SNN-based VPR, a technique where consecutive images are used to refine place recognition. We analyze the responsiveness of SNNs to ensembling and sequence matching compared to other VPR techniques. Our contributions highlight the viability of SNNs for VPR, offering scalable and robust solutions, paving the way for their application in various energy-sensitive robotic tasks.

Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly through the advent of large-scale generative AI (GenAI) models such as Large Language Models (LLMs), has become a transformative element in contemporary technology. While these models have unlocked new possibilities, they simultaneously present significant challenges, such as concerns over data privacy and the propensity to generate misleading or fabricated content. Current frameworks for Responsible AI (RAI) often fall short in providing the granular guidance necessary for tangible application, especially for Accountability-a principle that is pivotal for ensuring transparent and auditable decision-making, bolstering public trust, and meeting increasing regulatory expectations. This study bridges the accountability gap by introducing a comprehensive metrics catalogue, formulated through a systematic multivocal literature review (MLR) that integrates findings from both academic and grey literature. Our catalogue delineates process metrics that underpin procedural integrity, resource metrics that provide necessary tools and frameworks, and product metrics that reflect the outputs of AI systems. This tripartite framework is designed to operationalize Accountability in AI, with a special emphasis on addressing the intricacies of GenAI. The proposed metrics catalogue provides a robust framework for instilling Accountability in AI systems. It offers practical, actionable guidance for organizations, thereby shaping responsible practices in the field.

AI is undergoing a paradigm shift with the rise of models (e.g., BERT, DALL-E, GPT-3) that are trained on broad data at scale and are adaptable to a wide range of downstream tasks. We call these models foundation models to underscore their critically central yet incomplete character. This report provides a thorough account of the opportunities and risks of foundation models, ranging from their capabilities (e.g., language, vision, robotics, reasoning, human interaction) and technical principles(e.g., model architectures, training procedures, data, systems, security, evaluation, theory) to their applications (e.g., law, healthcare, education) and societal impact (e.g., inequity, misuse, economic and environmental impact, legal and ethical considerations). Though foundation models are based on standard deep learning and transfer learning, their scale results in new emergent capabilities,and their effectiveness across so many tasks incentivizes homogenization. Homogenization provides powerful leverage but demands caution, as the defects of the foundation model are inherited by all the adapted models downstream. Despite the impending widespread deployment of foundation models, we currently lack a clear understanding of how they work, when they fail, and what they are even capable of due to their emergent properties. To tackle these questions, we believe much of the critical research on foundation models will require deep interdisciplinary collaboration commensurate with their fundamentally sociotechnical nature.

Reasoning with knowledge expressed in natural language and Knowledge Bases (KBs) is a major challenge for Artificial Intelligence, with applications in machine reading, dialogue, and question answering. General neural architectures that jointly learn representations and transformations of text are very data-inefficient, and it is hard to analyse their reasoning process. These issues are addressed by end-to-end differentiable reasoning systems such as Neural Theorem Provers (NTPs), although they can only be used with small-scale symbolic KBs. In this paper we first propose Greedy NTPs (GNTPs), an extension to NTPs addressing their complexity and scalability limitations, thus making them applicable to real-world datasets. This result is achieved by dynamically constructing the computation graph of NTPs and including only the most promising proof paths during inference, thus obtaining orders of magnitude more efficient models. Then, we propose a novel approach for jointly reasoning over KBs and textual mentions, by embedding logic facts and natural language sentences in a shared embedding space. We show that GNTPs perform on par with NTPs at a fraction of their cost while achieving competitive link prediction results on large datasets, providing explanations for predictions, and inducing interpretable models.

Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are a special type of Neural Networks, which have shown state-of-the-art results on various competitive benchmarks. The powerful learning ability of deep CNN is largely achieved with the use of multiple non-linear feature extraction stages that can automatically learn hierarchical representation from the data. Availability of a large amount of data and improvements in the hardware processing units have accelerated the research in CNNs and recently very interesting deep CNN architectures are reported. The recent race in deep CNN architectures for achieving high performance on the challenging benchmarks has shown that the innovative architectural ideas, as well as parameter optimization, can improve the CNN performance on various vision-related tasks. In this regard, different ideas in the CNN design have been explored such as use of different activation and loss functions, parameter optimization, regularization, and restructuring of processing units. However, the major improvement in representational capacity is achieved by the restructuring of the processing units. Especially, the idea of using a block as a structural unit instead of a layer is gaining substantial appreciation. This survey thus focuses on the intrinsic taxonomy present in the recently reported CNN architectures and consequently, classifies the recent innovations in CNN architectures into seven different categories. These seven categories are based on spatial exploitation, depth, multi-path, width, feature map exploitation, channel boosting and attention. Additionally, it covers the elementary understanding of the CNN components and sheds light on the current challenges and applications of CNNs.

Within the rapidly developing Internet of Things (IoT), numerous and diverse physical devices, Edge devices, Cloud infrastructure, and their quality of service requirements (QoS), need to be represented within a unified specification in order to enable rapid IoT application development, monitoring, and dynamic reconfiguration. But heterogeneities among different configuration knowledge representation models pose limitations for acquisition, discovery and curation of configuration knowledge for coordinated IoT applications. This paper proposes a unified data model to represent IoT resource configuration knowledge artifacts. It also proposes IoT-CANE (Context-Aware recommendatioN systEm) to facilitate incremental knowledge acquisition and declarative context driven knowledge recommendation.
