Though a core element of the digital age, numerical difference algorithms struggle with noise susceptibility. This stems from a key disconnect between the infinitesimal quantities in continuous differentiation and the finite intervals in its discrete counterpart. This disconnect violates the fundamental definition of differentiation (Leibniz and Cauchy). To bridge this gap, we build a novel general difference (Tao General Difference, TGD). Departing from derivative-by-integration, TGD generalizes differentiation to finite intervals in continuous domains through three key constraints. This allows us to calculate the general difference of a sequence in discrete domain via the continuous step function constructed from the sequence. Two construction methods, the rotational construction and the orthogonal construction, are proposed to construct the operators of TGD. The construction TGD operators take same convolution mode in calculation for continuous functions, discrete sequences, and arrays across any dimension. Our analysis with example operations showcases TGD's capability in both continuous and discrete domains, paving the way for accurate and noise-resistant differentiation in the digital era.

We present an evaluation of 32-bit POSIT arithmetic through its implementation as accelerators on FPGAs and GPUs. POSIT, a floating-point number format, adaptively changes the size of its fractional part. We developed hardware designs for FPGAs and software for GPUs to accelerate linear algebra operations using Posit(32,2) arithmetic. Our FPGA- and GPU-based accelerators in Posit(32,2) arithmetic significantly accelerated the Cholesky and LU decomposition algorithms for dense matrices. In terms of numerical accuracy, Posit(32,2) arithmetic is approximately 0.5 - 1.0 digits more accurate than the standard 32-bit format, especially when the norm of the elements of the input matrix is close to 1. Evaluating power consumption, we observed that the power efficiency of the accelerators ranged between 0.043 - 0.076 Gflops/watts for the LU decomposition in Posit(32,2) arithmetic. The power efficiency of the latest GPUs as accelerators of Posit(32,2) arithmetic is better than that of the evaluated FPGA chip.

An algorithm is developed to gradually relax the Differential Privacy (DP) guarantee of a randomized response. The output from each relaxation maintains the same probability distribution as a standard randomized response with the equivalent DP guarantee, ensuring identical utility as the standard approach. The entire relaxation process is proven to have the same DP guarantee as the most recent relaxed guarantee. The DP relaxation algorithm is adaptable to any Local Differential Privacy (LDP) mechanisms relying on randomized response. It has been seamlessly integrated into RAPPOR, an LDP crowdsourcing string-collecting tool, to optimize the utility of estimating the frequency of collected data. Additionally, it facilitates the relaxation of the DP guarantee for mean estimation based on randomized response. Finally, numerical experiments have been conducted to validate the utility and DP guarantee of the algorithm.

Large language models (LLMs) are capable of generating multiple responses to a single prompt, yet little effort has been expended to help end-users or system designers make use of this capability. In this paper, we explore how to present many LLM responses at once. We design five features, which include both pre-existing and novel methods for computing similarities and differences across textual documents, as well as how to render their outputs. We report on a controlled user study (n=24) and eight case studies evaluating these features and how they support users in different tasks. We find that the features support a wide variety of sensemaking tasks and even make tasks previously considered to be too difficult by our participants now tractable. Finally, we present design guidelines to inform future explorations of new LLM interfaces.

Different scheduling mechanisms in Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) can be integrated together to design and support complex architectures with enhanced capabilities for mixed critical networks. Integrating Frame Preemption (FP) with Credit-Based Shaper (CBS) and Gate Control List (GCL) opens up different modes and configuration choices resulting in a complex evaluation of several possibilities and their impact on the Quality of Service (QoS). In this paper, we implement and quantify the integration of preemptive CBS with GCL by incorporating FP into the architecture. Our experiments show that the end-to-end delay of Audio Video Bridging (AVB) flows shaped by CBS reduces significantly (up to 40\%) when AVB flows are set to preemptable class. We further show that the jitter of Time Triggered (TT) traffic remains unaffected in "with Hold/Release" mode. Furthermore, we propose to introduce Guardband (GB) in the "without Hold/Release" to reduce the jitter of the TT flow. We compare all the different integration modes, starting with CBS with GCL, extending it further to FP. We evaluate all feasible combinations in both synthetic and realistic scenarios and offer recommendations for practical configuration methods.

Machine-learning approaches to algorithm-selection typically take data describing an instance as input. Input data can take the form of features derived from the instance description or fitness landscape, or can be a direct representation of the instance itself, i.e. an image or textual description. Regardless of the choice of input, there is an implicit assumption that instances that are similar will elicit similar performance from algorithm, and that a model is capable of learning this relationship. We argue that viewing algorithm-selection purely from an instance perspective can be misleading as it fails to account for how an algorithm `views' similarity between instances. We propose a novel `algorithm-centric' method for describing instances that can be used to train models for algorithm-selection: specifically, we use short probing trajectories calculated by applying a solver to an instance for a very short period of time. The approach is demonstrated to be promising, providing comparable or better results to computationally expensive landscape-based feature-based approaches. Furthermore, projecting the trajectories into a 2-dimensional space illustrates that functions that are similar from an algorithm-perspective do not necessarily correspond to the accepted categorisation of these functions from a human perspective.

Stochastic gradient descent (SGD) is an estimation tool for large data employed in machine learning and statistics. Due to the Markovian nature of the SGD process, inference is a challenging problem. An underlying asymptotic normality of the averaged SGD (ASGD) estimator allows for the construction of a batch-means estimator of the asymptotic covariance matrix. Instead of the usual increasing batch-size strategy employed in ASGD, we propose a memory efficient equal batch-size strategy and show that under mild conditions, the estimator is consistent. A key feature of the proposed batching technique is that it allows for bias-correction of the variance, at no cost to memory. Since joint inference for high dimensional problems may be undesirable, we present marginal-friendly simultaneous confidence intervals, and show through an example how covariance estimators of ASGD can be employed in improved predictions.

Recent advances in large language models elicit reasoning in a chain-of-thought that allows models to decompose problems in a human-like fashion. Though this paradigm improves multi-step reasoning ability in language models, it is limited by being unimodal and applied mainly to question-answering tasks. We claim that incorporating visual augmentation into reasoning is essential, especially for complex, imaginative tasks. Consequently, we introduce VCoT, a novel method that leverages chain-of-thought prompting with vision-language grounding to recursively bridge the logical gaps within sequential data. Our method uses visual guidance to generate synthetic multimodal infillings that add consistent and novel information to reduce the logical gaps for downstream tasks that can benefit from temporal reasoning, as well as provide interpretability into models' multi-step reasoning. We apply VCoT to the Visual Storytelling and WikiHow summarization datasets and demonstrate through human evaluation that VCoT offers novel and consistent synthetic data augmentation beating chain-of-thought baselines, which can be used to enhance downstream performance.

DNA labeling is a powerful tool in molecular biology and biotechnology that allows for the visualization, detection, and study of DNA at the molecular level. Under this paradigm, a DNA molecule is being labeled by specific k patterns and is then imaged. Then, the resulted image is modeled as a (k + 1)- ary sequence in which any non-zero symbol indicates on the appearance of the corresponding label in the DNA molecule. The primary goal of this work is to study the labeling capacity, which is defined as the maximal information rate that can be obtained using this labeling process. The labeling capacity is computed for any single label and several results are provided for multiple labels as well. Moreover, we provide the optimal minimal number of labels of length one or two that are needed in order to gain labeling capacity of 2.

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.
