Creating large-scale and well-annotated datasets to train AI algorithms is crucial for automated tumor detection and localization. However, with limited resources, it is challenging to determine the best type of annotations when annotating massive amounts of unlabeled data. To address this issue, we focus on polyps in colonoscopy videos and pancreatic tumors in abdominal CT scans; both applications require significant effort and time for pixel-wise annotation due to the high dimensional nature of the data, involving either temporary or spatial dimensions. In this paper, we develop a new annotation strategy, termed Drag&Drop, which simplifies the annotation process to drag and drop. This annotation strategy is more efficient, particularly for temporal and volumetric imaging, than other types of weak annotations, such as per-pixel, bounding boxes, scribbles, ellipses, and points. Furthermore, to exploit our Drag&Drop annotations, we develop a novel weakly supervised learning method based on the watershed algorithm. Experimental results show that our method achieves better detection and localization performance than alternative weak annotations and, more importantly, achieves similar performance to that trained on detailed per-pixel annotations. Interestingly, we find that, with limited resources, allocating weak annotations from a diverse patient population can foster models more robust to unseen images than allocating per-pixel annotations for a small set of images. In summary, this research proposes an efficient annotation strategy for tumor detection and localization that is less accurate than per-pixel annotations but useful for creating large-scale datasets for screening tumors in various medical modalities.

Current approaches in paraphrase generation and detection heavily rely on a single general similarity score, ignoring the intricate linguistic properties of language. This paper introduces two new tasks to address this shortcoming by considering paraphrase types - specific linguistic perturbations at particular text positions. We name these tasks Paraphrase Type Generation and Paraphrase Type Detection. Our results suggest that while current techniques perform well in a binary classification scenario, i.e., paraphrased or not, the inclusion of fine-grained paraphrase types poses a significant challenge. While most approaches are good at generating and detecting general semantic similar content, they fail to understand the intrinsic linguistic variables they manipulate. Models trained in generating and identifying paraphrase types also show improvements in tasks without them. In addition, scaling these models further improves their ability to understand paraphrase types. We believe paraphrase types can unlock a new paradigm for developing paraphrase models and solving tasks in the future.

We settle the parameterized complexities of several variants of independent set reconfiguration and dominating set reconfiguration, parameterized by the number of tokens. We show that both problems are XL-complete when there is no limit on the number of moves, XNL-complete when a maximum length $\ell$ for the sequence is given in binary in the input, and XNLP-complete when $\ell$ is given in unary. The problems were known to be $\mathrm{W}[1]$- and $\mathrm{W}[2]$-hard respectively when $\ell$ is also a parameter. We complete the picture by showing membership in those classes. Moreover, we show that for all the variants that we consider, token sliding and token jumping are equivalent under pl-reductions. We introduce partitioned variants of token jumping and token sliding, and give pl-reductions between the four variants that have precise control over the number of tokens and the length of the reconfiguration sequence.

Many statistical problems in causal inference involve a probability distribution other than the one from which data are actually observed; as an additional complication, the object of interest is often a marginal quantity of this other probability distribution. This creates many practical complications for statistical inference, even where the problem is non-parametrically identified. In particular, it is difficult to perform likelihood-based inference, or even to simulate from the model in a general way. We introduce the `frugal parameterization', which places the causal effect of interest at its centre, and then builds the rest of the model around it. We do this in a way that provides a recipe for constructing a regular, non-redundant parameterization using causal quantities of interest. In the case of discrete variables we can use odds ratios to complete the parameterization, while in the continuous case copulas are the natural choice; other possibilities are also discussed. Our methods allow us to construct and simulate from models with parametrically specified causal distributions, and fit them using likelihood-based methods, including fully Bayesian approaches. Our proposal includes parameterizations for the average causal effect and effect of treatment on the treated, as well as other causal quantities of interest.

Posterior sampling, i.e., exponential mechanism to sample from the posterior distribution, provides $\varepsilon$-pure differential privacy (DP) guarantees and does not suffer from potentially unbounded privacy breach introduced by $(\varepsilon,\delta)$-approximate DP. In practice, however, one needs to apply approximate sampling methods such as Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), thus re-introducing the unappealing $\delta$-approximation error into the privacy guarantees. To bridge this gap, we propose the Approximate SAample Perturbation (abbr. ASAP) algorithm which perturbs an MCMC sample with noise proportional to its Wasserstein-infinity ($W_\infty$) distance from a reference distribution that satisfies pure DP or pure Gaussian DP (i.e., $\delta=0$). We then leverage a Metropolis-Hastings algorithm to generate the sample and prove that the algorithm converges in W$_\infty$ distance. We show that by combining our new techniques with a careful localization step, we obtain the first nearly linear-time algorithm that achieves the optimal rates in the DP-ERM problem with strongly convex and smooth losses.

We introduce fluctuating hydrodynamics approaches on surfaces for capturing the drift-diffusion dynamics of particles and microstructures immersed within curved fluid interfaces of spherical shape. We take into account the interfacial hydrodynamic coupling, traction coupling with the surrounding bulk fluid, and thermal fluctuations. For fluid-structure interactions, we introduce Immersed Boundary Methods (IBM) and related Stochastic Eulerian-Lagrangian Methods (SELM) for curved surfaces. We use these approaches to investigate the statistics of surface fluctuating hydrodynamics and microstructures. For velocity autocorrelations, we find characteristic power-law scalings $\tau^{-1}$, $\tau^{-2}$, and plateaus can emerge. This depends on the physical regime associated with the geometry, surface viscosity, and bulk viscosity. This differs from the characteristic $\tau^{-3/2}$ scaling for bulk three dimensional fluids. We develop theory explaining these observed power-laws associated with time-scales for dissipation within the fluid interface and coupling to the surrounding fluid. We then use our introduced methods to investigate a few example systems and roles of hydrodynamic coupling and thermal fluctuations including for the kinetics of passive particles and active microswimmers in curved fluid interfaces.

We consider the distributionally robust optimization (DRO) problem with spectral risk-based uncertainty set and $f$-divergence penalty. This formulation includes common risk-sensitive learning objectives such as regularized condition value-at-risk (CVaR) and average top-$k$ loss. We present Prospect, a stochastic gradient-based algorithm that only requires tuning a single learning rate hyperparameter, and prove that it enjoys linear convergence for smooth regularized losses. This contrasts with previous algorithms that either require tuning multiple hyperparameters or potentially fail to converge due to biased gradient estimates or inadequate regularization. Empirically, we show that Prospect can converge 2-3$\times$ faster than baselines such as stochastic gradient and stochastic saddle-point methods on distribution shift and fairness benchmarks spanning tabular, vision, and language domains.

A new approach to analyzing intrinsic properties of the Josephus function, $J_{_k}$, is presented in this paper. The linear structure between extreme points of $J_{_k}$ is fully revealed, leading to the design of an efficient algorithm for evaluating $J_{_k}(n)$. Algebraic expressions that describe how recursively compute extreme points, including fixed points, are derived. The existence of consecutive extreme and also fixed points for all $k\geq 2$ is proven as a consequence, which generalizes Knuth result for $k=2$. Moreover, an extensive comparative numerical experiment is conducted to illustrate the performance of the proposed algorithm for evaluating the Josephus function compared to established algorithms. The results show that the proposed scheme is highly effective in computing $J_{_k}(n)$ for large inputs.

We introduce two new stochastic conjugate frameworks for a class of nonconvex and possibly also nonsmooth optimization problems. These frameworks are built upon Stochastic Recursive Gradient Algorithm (SARAH) and we thus refer to them as Acc-Prox-CG-SARAH and Acc-Prox-CG-SARAH-RS, respectively. They are efficiently accelerated, easy to implement, tune free and can be smoothly extended and modified. We devise a deterministic restart scheme for stochastic optimization and apply it in our second stochastic conjugate framework, which serves the key difference between the two approaches. In addition, we apply the ProbAbilistic Gradient Estimator (PAGE) and further develop a practical variant, denoted as Acc-Prox-CG-SARAH-ST, in order to reduce potential computational overhead. We provide comprehensive and rigorous convergence analysis for all three approaches and establish linear convergence rates for unconstrained minimization problem with nonconvex and nonsmooth objective functions. Experiments have demonstrated that Acc-Prox-CG-SARAH and Acc-Prox-CG-SARAH-RS both outperform state-of-art methods consistently and Acc-Prox-CG-SARAH-ST can as well achieve comparable convergence speed. In terms of theory and experiments, we verify the strong computational efficiency of the deterministic restart scheme in stochastic optimization methods.
