Based on the variational method, we propose a novel paradigm that provides a unified framework of training neural operators and solving partial differential equations (PDEs) with the variational form, which we refer to as the variational operator learning (VOL). We first derive the functional approximation of the system from the node solution prediction given by neural operators, and then conduct the variational operation by automatic differentiation, constructing a forward-backward propagation loop to derive the residual of the linear system. One or several update steps of the steepest decent method (SD) and the conjugate gradient method (CG) are provided in every iteration as a cheap yet effective update for training the neural operators. Experimental results show the proposed VOL can learn a variety of solution operators in PDEs of the steady heat transfer and the variable stiffness elasticity with satisfactory results and small error. The proposed VOL achieves nearly label-free training. Only five to ten labels are used for the output distribution-shift session in all experiments. Generalization benefits of the VOL are investigated and discussed.

Recently, contrastive learning approaches (e.g., CLIP (Radford et al., 2021)) have received huge success in multimodal learning, where the model tries to minimize the distance between the representations of different views (e.g., image and its caption) of the same data point while keeping the representations of different data points away from each other. However, from a theoretical perspective, it is unclear how contrastive learning can learn the representations from different views efficiently, especially when the data is not isotropic. In this work, we analyze the training dynamics of a simple multimodal contrastive learning model and show that contrastive pairs are important for the model to efficiently balance the learned representations. In particular, we show that the positive pairs will drive the model to align the representations at the cost of increasing the condition number, while the negative pairs will reduce the condition number, keeping the learned representations balanced.

We introduce a modality-agnostic neural compression algorithm based on a functional view of data and parameterised as an Implicit Neural Representation (INR). Bridging the gap between latent coding and sparsity, we obtain compact latent representations non-linearly mapped to a soft gating mechanism. This allows the specialisation of a shared INR network to each data item through subnetwork selection. After obtaining a dataset of such latent representations, we directly optimise the rate/distortion trade-off in a modality-agnostic space using neural compression. Variational Compression of Implicit Neural Representations (VC-INR) shows improved performance given the same representational capacity pre quantisation while also outperforming previous quantisation schemes used for other INR techniques. Our experiments demonstrate strong results over a large set of diverse modalities using the same algorithm without any modality-specific inductive biases. We show results on images, climate data, 3D shapes and scenes as well as audio and video, introducing VC-INR as the first INR-based method to outperform codecs as well-known and diverse as JPEG 2000, MP3 and AVC/HEVC on their respective modalities.

Parametric verification of linear temporal properties for stochastic models can be expressed as computing the satisfaction probability of a certain property as a function of the parameters of the model. Smoothed model checking (smMC) aims at inferring the satisfaction function over the entire parameter space from a limited set of observations obtained via simulation. As observations are costly and noisy, smMC is framed as a Bayesian inference problem so that the estimates have an additional quantification of the uncertainty. In smMC the authors use Gaussian Processes (GP), inferred by means of the Expectation Propagation algorithm. This approach provides accurate reconstructions with statistically sound quantification of the uncertainty. However, it inherits the well-known scalability issues of GP. In this paper, we exploit recent advances in probabilistic machine learning to push this limitation forward, making Bayesian inference of smMC scalable to larger datasets and enabling its application to models with high dimensional parameter spaces. We propose Stochastic Variational Smoothed Model Checking (SV-smMC), a solution that exploits stochastic variational inference (SVI) to approximate the posterior distribution of the smMC problem. The strength and flexibility of SVI make SV-smMC applicable to two alternative probabilistic models: Gaussian Processes (GP) and Bayesian Neural Networks (BNN). The core ingredient of SVI is a stochastic gradient-based optimization that makes inference easily parallelizable and that enables GPU acceleration. In this paper, we compare the performances of smMC against those of SV-smMC by looking at the scalability, the computational efficiency and the accuracy of the reconstructed satisfaction function.

Contrastive learning has emerged as an essential approach for self-supervised learning in computer vision. The central objective of contrastive learning is to maximize the similarities between two augmented versions of the same image (positive pairs), while minimizing the similarities between different images (negative pairs). Recent studies have demonstrated that harder negative samples, i.e., those that are difficult to distinguish from anchor sample, play a more critical role in contrastive learning. In this paper, we propose a novel featurelevel method, namely sampling synthetic hard negative samples for contrastive learning (SSCL), to exploit harder negative samples more effectively. Specifically, 1) we generate more and harder negative samples by mixing negative samples, and then sample them by controlling the contrast of anchor sample with the other negative samples. 2) Considering that the negative samples obtained by sampling may have the problem of false negative samples, we further debias the negative samples. Our proposed method improves the classification performance on different image datasets and can be readily applied to existing methods.

Meta-learning aims to solve unseen tasks with few labelled instances. Nevertheless, despite its effectiveness for quick learning in existing optimization-based methods, it has several flaws. Inconsequential connections are frequently seen during meta-training, which results in an over-parameterized neural network. Because of this, meta-testing observes unnecessary computations and extra memory overhead. To overcome such flaws. We propose a novel meta-learning method called Meta-LTH that includes indispensible (necessary) connections. We applied the lottery ticket hypothesis technique known as magnitude pruning to generate these crucial connections that can effectively solve few-shot learning problem. We aim to perform two things: (a) to find a sub-network capable of more adaptive meta-learning and (b) to learn new low-level features of unseen tasks and recombine those features with the already learned features during the meta-test phase. Experimental results show that our proposed Met-LTH method outperformed existing first-order MAML algorithm for three different classification datasets. Our method improves the classification accuracy by approximately 2% (20-way 1-shot task setting) for omniglot dataset.

Reinforcement Learning aims at identifying and evaluating efficient control policies from data. In many real-world applications, the learner is not allowed to experiment and cannot gather data in an online manner (this is the case when experimenting is expensive, risky or unethical). For such applications, the reward of a given policy (the target policy) must be estimated using historical data gathered under a different policy (the behavior policy). Most methods for this learning task, referred to as Off-Policy Evaluation (OPE), do not come with accuracy and certainty guarantees. We present a novel OPE method based on Conformal Prediction that outputs an interval containing the true reward of the target policy with a prescribed level of certainty. The main challenge in OPE stems from the distribution shift due to the discrepancies between the target and the behavior policies. We propose and empirically evaluate different ways to deal with this shift. Some of these methods yield conformalized intervals with reduced length compared to existing approaches, while maintaining the same certainty level.

Analytical explorations on complex networks and cubes (i.e., multi-dimensional datasets) are currently two separate research fields with different strategies. To gain more insights into cube dynamics via unique network-domain methodologies and to obtain abundant synthetic networks, we need a transformation approach from cubes into associated networks. To this end, we propose FGM, a fast generic model converting cubes into interrelated networks, whereby samples are remodeled into nodes and network dynamics are guided under the concept of nearest-neighbor searching. Through comparison with previous models, we show that FGM can cost-efficiently generate networks exhibiting typical patterns more closely aligned to factual networks, such as more authentic degree distribution, power-law average nearest-neighbor degree dependency, and the influence decay phenomenon we consider vital for networks. Furthermore, we evaluate the networks that FGM generates through various cubes. Results show that FGM is resilient to input perturbations, producing networks with consistent fine properties.

We propose DoE2Vec, a variational autoencoder (VAE)-based methodology to learn optimization landscape characteristics for downstream meta-learning tasks, e.g., automated selection of optimization algorithms. Principally, using large training data sets generated with a random function generator, DoE2Vec self-learns an informative latent representation for any design of experiments (DoE). Unlike the classical exploratory landscape analysis (ELA) method, our approach does not require any feature engineering and is easily applicable for high dimensional search spaces. For validation, we inspect the quality of latent reconstructions and analyze the latent representations using different experiments. The latent representations not only show promising potentials in identifying similar (cheap-to-evaluate) surrogate functions, but also can significantly boost performances when being used complementary to the classical ELA features in classification tasks.

For deploying a deep learning model into production, it needs to be both accurate and compact to meet the latency and memory constraints. This usually results in a network that is deep (to ensure performance) and yet thin (to improve computational efficiency). In this paper, we propose an efficient method to train a deep thin network with a theoretic guarantee. Our method is motivated by model compression. It consists of three stages. In the first stage, we sufficiently widen the deep thin network and train it until convergence. In the second stage, we use this well-trained deep wide network to warm up (or initialize) the original deep thin network. This is achieved by letting the thin network imitate the immediate outputs of the wide network from layer to layer. In the last stage, we further fine tune this well initialized deep thin network. The theoretical guarantee is established by using mean field analysis, which shows the advantage of layerwise imitation over traditional training deep thin networks from scratch by backpropagation. We also conduct large-scale empirical experiments to validate our approach. By training with our method, ResNet50 can outperform ResNet101, and BERT_BASE can be comparable with BERT_LARGE, where both the latter models are trained via the standard training procedures as in the literature.
