Understanding the intricate operations of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) mechanistically is pivotal for advancing their capabilities and applications. In this pursuit, we propose the Episodic Memory Theory (EMT), illustrating that RNNs can be conceptualized as discrete-time analogs of the recently proposed General Sequential Episodic Memory Model. To substantiate EMT, we introduce a novel set of algorithmic tasks tailored to probe the variable binding behavior in RNNs. Utilizing the EMT, we formulate a mathematically rigorous circuit that facilitates variable binding in these tasks. Our empirical investigations reveal that trained RNNs consistently converge to the variable binding circuit, thus indicating universality in the dynamics of RNNs. Building on these findings, we devise an algorithm to define a privileged basis, which reveals hidden neurons instrumental in the temporal storage and composition of variables, a mechanism vital for the successful generalization in these tasks. We show that the privileged basis enhances the interpretability of the learned parameters and hidden states of RNNs. Our work represents a step toward demystifying the internal mechanisms of RNNs and, for computational neuroscience, serves to bridge the gap between artificial neural networks and neural memory models.

We consider the diffusion of two alternatives in social networks using a game-theoretic approach. Each individual plays a coordination game with its neighbors repeatedly and decides which to adopt. As products are used in conjunction with others and through repeated interactions, individuals are more interested in their long-term benefits and tend to show trust to others to maximize their long-term utility by choosing a suboptimal option with respect to instantaneous payoff. To capture such trust behavior, we deploy limited-trust equilibrium (LTE) in diffusion process. We analyze the convergence of emerging dynamics to equilibrium points using mean-field approximation and study the equilibrium state and the convergence rate of diffusion using absorption probability and expected absorption time of a reduced-size absorbing Markov chain. We also show that the diffusion model on LTE under the best-response strategy can be converted to the well-known linear threshold model. Simulation results show that when agents behave trustworthy, their long-term utility will increase significantly compared to the case when they are solely self-interested. Moreover, the Markov chain analysis provides a good estimate of convergence properties over random networks.

Our work addresses the critical issue of distinguishing text generated by Large Language Models (LLMs) from human-produced text, a task essential for numerous applications. Despite ongoing debate about the feasibility of such differentiation, we present evidence supporting its consistent achievability, except when human and machine text distributions are indistinguishable across their entire support. Drawing from information theory, we argue that as machine-generated text approximates human-like quality, the sample size needed for detection increases. We establish precise sample complexity bounds for detecting AI-generated text, laying groundwork for future research aimed at developing advanced, multi-sample detectors. Our empirical evaluations across multiple datasets (Xsum, Squad, IMDb, and Kaggle FakeNews) confirm the viability of enhanced detection methods. We test various state-of-the-art text generators, including GPT-2, GPT-3.5-Turbo, Llama, Llama-2-13B-Chat-HF, and Llama-2-70B-Chat-HF, against detectors, including oBERTa-Large/Base-Detector, GPTZero. Our findings align with OpenAI's empirical data related to sequence length, marking the first theoretical substantiation for these observations.

In recent years, with large language models (LLMs) achieving state-of-the-art performance in context understanding, increasing efforts have been dedicated to developing LLM-enhanced sequential recommendation (SR) methods. Considering that most existing LLMs are not specifically optimized for recommendation tasks, adapting them for SR becomes a critical step in LLM-enhanced SR methods. Though numerous adaptation methods have been developed, it still remains a significant challenge to adapt LLMs for SR both efficiently and effectively. To address this challenge, in this paper, we introduce a novel side sequential network adaptation method, denoted as SSNA, for LLM enhanced SR. SSNA features three key designs to allow both efficient and effective LLM adaptation. First, SSNA learns adapters separate from LLMs, while fixing all the pre-trained parameters within LLMs to allow efficient adaptation. In addition, SSNA adapts the top-a layers of LLMs jointly, and integrates adapters sequentially for enhanced effectiveness (i.e., recommendation performance). We compare SSNA against five state-of-the-art baseline methods on five benchmark datasets using three LLMs. The experimental results demonstrate that SSNA significantly outperforms all the baseline methods in terms of recommendation performance, and achieves substantial improvement over the best-performing baseline methods at both run-time and memory efficiency during training. Our analysis shows the effectiveness of integrating adapters in a sequential manner. Our parameter study demonstrates the effectiveness of jointly adapting the top-a layers of LLMs.

While VideoQA Transformer models demonstrate competitive performance on standard benchmarks, the reasons behind their success are not fully understood. Do these models jointly capture and leverage the rich multimodal structures and dynamics from video and text? Or are they merely exploiting shortcuts to achieve high scores? Hence, we design $\textit{QUAG}$ (QUadrant AveraGe), a lightweight and non-parametric probe, to critically analyze multimodal representations. QUAG facilitates combined dataset-model study by systematic ablation of model's coupled multimodal understanding during inference. Surprisingly, it demonstrates that the models manage to maintain high performance even under multimodal impairment. We extend QUAG to design "QUAG-attention", a simplistic and less-expressive replacement of self-attention. We find that the models with QUAG-attention achieve similar performance with significantly less mulops without any finetuning. These findings indicate that the current VideoQA benchmarks and metrics do not penalize models that find shortcuts and discount joint multimodal understanding. Motivated by this, we propose the $\textit{CLAVI}$ (Counterfactual in LAnguage and VIdeo), a diagnostic dataset for coupled multimodal understanding in VideoQA. CLAVI consists of temporal questions and videos that are augmented to curate balanced counterfactuals in language and video domains. We evaluate models on CLAVI and find that all models achieve high performance on multimodal shortcut instances, but most of them have poor performance on the counterfactual instances that necessitate joint multimodal understanding. Overall, with the multimodal representation analysis using QUAG and diagnostic analysis using CLAVI, we show that many VideoQA models are incapable of learning multimodal representations and that their success on standard datasets is an illusion of joint multimodal understanding.

This paper performs the first study to understand the prevalence, challenges, and effectiveness of using Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools on Open-Source Embedded Software (EMBOSS) repositories. We collect a corpus of 258 of the most popular EMBOSS projects, representing 13 distinct categories such as real-time operating systems, network stacks, and applications. To understand the current use of SAST tools on EMBOSS, we measured this corpus and surveyed developers. To understand the challenges and effectiveness of using SAST tools on EMBOSS projects, we applied these tools to the projects in our corpus. We report that almost none of these projects (just 3%) use SAST tools beyond those baked into the compiler, and developers give rationales such as ineffectiveness and false positives. In applying SAST tools ourselves, we show that minimal engineering effort and project expertise are needed to apply many tools to a given EMBOSS project. GitHub's CodeQL was the most effective SAST tool -- using its built-in security checks we found a total of 540 defects (with a false positive rate of 23%) across the 258 projects, with 399 (74%) likely security vulnerabilities, including in projects maintained by Microsoft, Amazon, and the Apache Foundation. EMBOSS engineers have confirmed 273 (51%) of these defects, mainly by accepting our pull requests. Two CVEs were issued. In summary, we urge EMBOSS engineers to adopt the current generation of SAST tools, which offer low false positive rates and are effective at finding security-relevant defects.

The dominating NLP paradigm of training a strong neural predictor to perform one task on a specific dataset has led to state-of-the-art performance in a variety of applications (eg. sentiment classification, span-prediction based question answering or machine translation). However, it builds upon the assumption that the data distribution is stationary, ie. that the data is sampled from a fixed distribution both at training and test time. This way of training is inconsistent with how we as humans are able to learn from and operate within a constantly changing stream of information. Moreover, it is ill-adapted to real-world use cases where the data distribution is expected to shift over the course of a model's lifetime. The first goal of this thesis is to characterize the different forms this shift can take in the context of natural language processing, and propose benchmarks and evaluation metrics to measure its effect on current deep learning architectures. We then proceed to take steps to mitigate the effect of distributional shift on NLP models. To this end, we develop methods based on parametric reformulations of the distributionally robust optimization framework. Empirically, we demonstrate that these approaches yield more robust models as demonstrated on a selection of realistic problems. In the third and final part of this thesis, we explore ways of efficiently adapting existing models to new domains or tasks. Our contribution to this topic takes inspiration from information geometry to derive a new gradient update rule which alleviate catastrophic forgetting issues during adaptation.

Recent years have seen important advances in the quality of state-of-the-art models, but this has come at the expense of models becoming less interpretable. This survey presents an overview of the current state of Explainable AI (XAI), considered within the domain of Natural Language Processing (NLP). We discuss the main categorization of explanations, as well as the various ways explanations can be arrived at and visualized. We detail the operations and explainability techniques currently available for generating explanations for NLP model predictions, to serve as a resource for model developers in the community. Finally, we point out the current gaps and encourage directions for future work in this important research area.

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.

Deep Convolutional Neural Networks have pushed the state-of-the art for semantic segmentation provided that a large amount of images together with pixel-wise annotations is available. Data collection is expensive and a solution to alleviate it is to use transfer learning. This reduces the amount of annotated data required for the network training but it does not get rid of this heavy processing step. We propose a method of transfer learning without annotations on the target task for datasets with redundant content and distinct pixel distributions. Our method takes advantage of the approximate content alignment of the images between two datasets when the approximation error prevents the reuse of annotation from one dataset to another. Given the annotations for only one dataset, we train a first network in a supervised manner. This network autonomously learns to generate deep data representations relevant to the semantic segmentation. Then the images in the new dataset, we train a new network to generate a deep data representation that matches the one from the first network on the previous dataset. The training consists in a regression between feature maps and does not require any annotations on the new dataset. We show that this method reaches performances similar to a classic transfer learning on the PASCAL VOC dataset with synthetic transformations.
