Predictive coding (PC) is a brain-inspired local learning algorithm that has recently been suggested to provide advantages over backpropagation (BP) in biologically relevant scenarios. While theoretical work has mainly focused on showing how PC can approximate BP in various limits, the putative benefits of "natural" PC are less understood. Here we develop a theory of PC as an adaptive trust-region (TR) algorithm that uses second-order information. We show that the learning dynamics of PC can be interpreted as interpolating between BP's loss gradient direction and a TR direction found by the PC inference dynamics. Our theory suggests that PC should escape saddle points faster than BP, a prediction which we prove in a shallow linear model and support with experiments on deeper networks. This work lays a foundation for understanding PC in deep and wide networks.

Networked control systems are closed-loop feedback control systems containing system components that may be distributed geographically in different locations and interconnected via a communication network such as the Internet. The quality of network communication is a crucial factor that significantly affects the performance of remote control. This is due to the fact that network uncertainties can occur in the transmission of packets in the forward and backward channels of the system. The two most significant among these uncertainties are network time delay and packet loss. To overcome these challenges, the networked predictive control system has been proposed to provide improved performance and robustness using predictive controllers and compensation strategies. In particular, the model predictive control method is well-suited as an advanced approach compared to conventional methods. In this paper, a networked model predictive control system consisting of a model predictive control method and compensation strategies is implemented to control and stabilize a robot arm as a physical system. In particular, this work aims to analyze the performance of the system under the influence of network time delay and packet loss. Using appropriate performance and robustness metrics, an in-depth investigation of the impacts of these network uncertainties is performed. Furthermore, the forward and backward channels of the network are examined in detail in this study.

Graph convolutional networks (GCNs) enable end-to-end learning on graph structured data. However, many works assume a given graph structure. When the input graph is noisy or unavailable, one approach is to construct or learn a latent graph structure. These methods typically fix the choice of node degree for the entire graph, which is suboptimal. Instead, we propose a novel end-to-end differentiable graph generator which builds graph topologies where each node selects both its neighborhood and its size. Our module can be readily integrated into existing pipelines involving graph convolution operations, replacing the predetermined or existing adjacency matrix with one that is learned, and optimized, as part of the general objective. As such it is applicable to any GCN. We integrate our module into trajectory prediction, point cloud classification and node classification pipelines resulting in improved accuracy over other structure-learning methods across a wide range of datasets and GCN backbones.

Time-series clustering serves as a powerful data mining technique for time-series data in the absence of prior knowledge about clusters. A large amount of time-series data with large size has been acquired and used in various research fields. Hence, clustering method with low computational cost is required. Given that a quantum-inspired computing technology, such as a simulated annealing machine, surpasses conventional computers in terms of fast and accurately solving combinatorial optimization problems, it holds promise for accomplishing clustering tasks that are challenging to achieve using existing methods. This study proposes a novel time-series clustering method that leverages an annealing machine. The proposed method facilitates an even classification of time-series data into clusters close to each other while maintaining robustness against outliers. Moreover, its applicability extends to time-series images. We compared the proposed method with a standard existing method for clustering an online distributed dataset. In the existing method, the distances between each data are calculated based on the Euclidean distance metric, and the clustering is performed using the k-means++ method. We found that both methods yielded comparable results. Furthermore, the proposed method was applied to a flow measurement image dataset containing noticeable noise with a signal-to-noise ratio of approximately 1. Despite a small signal variation of approximately 2%, the proposed method effectively classified the data without any overlap among the clusters. In contrast, the clustering results by the standard existing method and the conditional image sampling (CIS) method, a specialized technique for flow measurement data, displayed overlapping clusters. Consequently, the proposed method provides better results than the other two methods, demonstrating its potential as a superior clustering method.

Deep convolutional networks are ubiquitous in computer vision, due to their excellent performance across different tasks for various domains. Models are, however, often trained in isolation for each task, failing to exploit relatedness between tasks and domains to learn more compact models that generalise better in low-data regimes. Multi-domain learning aims to handle related tasks, such as image classification across multiple domains, simultaneously. Previous work on this problem explored the use of a pre-trained and fixed domain-agnostic base network, in combination with smaller learnable domain-specific adaptation modules. In this paper, we introduce Modulation Adapters, which update the convolutional filter weights of the model in a multiplicative manner for each task. Parameterising these adaptation weights in a factored manner allows us to scale the number of per-task parameters in a flexible manner, and to strike different parameter-accuracy trade-offs. We evaluate our approach on the Visual Decathlon challenge, composed of ten image classification tasks across different domains, and on the ImageNet-to-Sketch benchmark, which consists of six image classification tasks. Our approach yields excellent results, with accuracies that are comparable to or better than those of existing state-of-the-art approaches.

In this paper, we extend the Generalized Finite Difference Method (GFDM) on unknown compact submanifolds of the Euclidean domain, identified by randomly sampled data that (almost surely) lie on the interior of the manifolds. Theoretically, we formalize GFDM by exploiting a representation of smooth functions on the manifolds with Taylor's expansions of polynomials defined on the tangent bundles. We illustrate the approach by approximating the Laplace-Beltrami operator, where a stable approximation is achieved by a combination of Generalized Moving Least-Squares algorithm and novel linear programming that relaxes the diagonal-dominant constraint for the estimator to allow for a feasible solution even when higher-order polynomials are employed. We establish the theoretical convergence of GFDM in solving Poisson PDEs and numerically demonstrate the accuracy on simple smooth manifolds of low and moderate high co-dimensions as well as unknown 2D surfaces. For the Dirichlet Poisson problem where no data points on the boundaries are available, we employ GFDM with the volume-constraint approach that imposes the boundary conditions on data points close to the boundary. When the location of the boundary is unknown, we introduce a novel technique to detect points close to the boundary without needing to estimate the distance of the sampled data points to the boundary. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the volume-constraint employed by imposing the boundary conditions on the data points detected by this new technique compared to imposing the boundary conditions on all points within a certain distance from the boundary, where the latter is sensitive to the choice of truncation distance and require the knowledge of the boundary location.

We present a simple linear regression based approach for learning the weights and biases of a neural network, as an alternative to standard gradient based backpropagation. The present work is exploratory in nature, and we restrict the description and experiments to (i) simple feedforward neural networks, (ii) scalar (single output) regression problems, and (iii) invertible activation functions. However, the approach is intended to be extensible to larger, more complex architectures. The key idea is the observation that the input to every neuron in a neural network is a linear combination of the activations of neurons in the previous layer, as well as the parameters (weights and biases) of the layer. If we are able to compute the ideal total input values to every neuron by working backwards from the output, we can formulate the learning problem as a linear least squares problem which iterates between updating the parameters and the activation values. We present an explicit algorithm that implements this idea, and we show that (at least for small problems) the approach is more stable and faster than gradient-based methods.

Graph neural networks (GNNs) is widely used to learn a powerful representation of graph-structured data. Recent work demonstrates that transferring knowledge from self-supervised tasks to downstream tasks could further improve graph representation. However, there is an inherent gap between self-supervised tasks and downstream tasks in terms of optimization objective and training data. Conventional pre-training methods may be not effective enough on knowledge transfer since they do not make any adaptation for downstream tasks. To solve such problems, we propose a new transfer learning paradigm on GNNs which could effectively leverage self-supervised tasks as auxiliary tasks to help the target task. Our methods would adaptively select and combine different auxiliary tasks with the target task in the fine-tuning stage. We design an adaptive auxiliary loss weighting model to learn the weights of auxiliary tasks by quantifying the consistency between auxiliary tasks and the target task. In addition, we learn the weighting model through meta-learning. Our methods can be applied to various transfer learning approaches, it performs well not only in multi-task learning but also in pre-training and fine-tuning. Comprehensive experiments on multiple downstream tasks demonstrate that the proposed methods can effectively combine auxiliary tasks with the target task and significantly improve the performance compared to state-of-the-art methods.

Invariant approaches have been remarkably successful in tackling the problem of domain generalization, where the objective is to perform inference on data distributions different from those used in training. In our work, we investigate whether it is possible to leverage domain information from the unseen test samples themselves. We propose a domain-adaptive approach consisting of two steps: a) we first learn a discriminative domain embedding from unsupervised training examples, and b) use this domain embedding as supplementary information to build a domain-adaptive model, that takes both the input as well as its domain into account while making predictions. For unseen domains, our method simply uses few unlabelled test examples to construct the domain embedding. This enables adaptive classification on any unseen domain. Our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance on various domain generalization benchmarks. In addition, we introduce the first real-world, large-scale domain generalization benchmark, Geo-YFCC, containing 1.1M samples over 40 training, 7 validation, and 15 test domains, orders of magnitude larger than prior work. We show that the existing approaches either do not scale to this dataset or underperform compared to the simple baseline of training a model on the union of data from all training domains. In contrast, our approach achieves a significant improvement.

Attributed graph clustering is challenging as it requires joint modelling of graph structures and node attributes. Recent progress on graph convolutional networks has proved that graph convolution is effective in combining structural and content information, and several recent methods based on it have achieved promising clustering performance on some real attributed networks. However, there is limited understanding of how graph convolution affects clustering performance and how to properly use it to optimize performance for different graphs. Existing methods essentially use graph convolution of a fixed and low order that only takes into account neighbours within a few hops of each node, which underutilizes node relations and ignores the diversity of graphs. In this paper, we propose an adaptive graph convolution method for attributed graph clustering that exploits high-order graph convolution to capture global cluster structure and adaptively selects the appropriate order for different graphs. We establish the validity of our method by theoretical analysis and extensive experiments on benchmark datasets. Empirical results show that our method compares favourably with state-of-the-art methods.

The world we see is ever-changing and it always changes with people, things, and the environment. Domain is referred to as the state of the world at a certain moment. A research problem is characterized as domain transfer adaptation when it needs knowledge correspondence between different moments. Conventional machine learning aims to find a model with the minimum expected risk on test data by minimizing the regularized empirical risk on the training data, which, however, supposes that the training and test data share similar joint probability distribution. Transfer adaptation learning aims to build models that can perform tasks of target domain by learning knowledge from a semantic related but distribution different source domain. It is an energetic research filed of increasing influence and importance. This paper surveys the recent advances in transfer adaptation learning methodology and potential benchmarks. Broader challenges being faced by transfer adaptation learning researchers are identified, i.e., instance re-weighting adaptation, feature adaptation, classifier adaptation, deep network adaptation, and adversarial adaptation, which are beyond the early semi-supervised and unsupervised split. The survey provides researchers a framework for better understanding and identifying the research status, challenges and future directions of the field.
