Characterizing shapes of high-dimensional objects via Ricci curvatures plays a critical role in many research areas in mathematics and physics. However, even though several discretizations of Ricci curvatures for discrete combinatorial objects such as networks have been proposed and studied by mathematicians, the computational complexity aspects of these discretizations have escaped the attention of theoretical computer scientists to a large extent. In this paper, we study one such discretization, namely the Ollivier-Ricci curvature, from the perspective of efficient computation by fine-grained reductions and local query-based algorithms. Our main contributions are the following. (a) We relate our curvature computation problem to minimum weight perfect matching problem on complete bipartite graphs via fine-grained reduction. (b) We formalize the computational aspects of the curvature computation problems in suitable frameworks so that they can be studied by researchers in local algorithms. (c) We provide the first known lower and upper bounds on queries for query-based algorithms for the curvature computation problems in our local algorithms framework. En route, we also illustrate a localized version of our fine-grained reduction. We believe that our results bring forth an intriguing set of research questions, motivated both in theory and practice, regarding designing efficient algorithms for curvatures of objects.

The application of deep learning to non-stationary temporal datasets can lead to overfitted models that underperform under regime changes. In this work, we propose a modular machine learning pipeline for ranking predictions on temporal panel datasets which is robust under regime changes. The modularity of the pipeline allows the use of different models, including Gradient Boosting Decision Trees (GBDTs) and Neural Networks, with and without feature engineering. We evaluate our framework on financial data for stock portfolio prediction, and find that GBDT models with dropout display high performance, robustness and generalisability with reduced complexity and computational cost. We then demonstrate how online learning techniques, which require no retraining of models, can be used post-prediction to enhance the results. First, we show that dynamic feature projection improves robustness by reducing drawdown in regime changes. Second, we demonstrate that dynamical model ensembling based on selection of models with good recent performance leads to improved Sharpe and Calmar ratios of out-of-sample predictions. We also evaluate the robustness of our pipeline across different data splits and random seeds with good reproducibility.

We develop sampling algorithms to fit Bayesian hierarchical models, the computational complexity of which scales linearly with the number of observations and the number of parameters in the model. We focus on crossed random effect and nested multilevel models, which are used ubiquitously in applied sciences. The posterior dependence in both classes is sparse: in crossed random effects models it resembles a random graph, whereas in nested multilevel models it is tree-structured. For each class we identify a framework for scalable computation, building on previous work. Methods for crossed models are based on extensions of appropriately designed collapsed Gibbs samplers, where we introduce the idea of local centering; while methods for nested models are based on sparse linear algebra and data augmentation. We provide a theoretical analysis of the proposed algorithms in some simplified settings, including a comparison with previously proposed methodologies and an average-case analysis based on random graph theory. Numerical experiments, including two challenging real data analyses on predicting electoral results and real estate prices, compare with off-the-shelf Hamiltonian Monte Carlo, displaying drastic improvement in performance.

Neural networks have revolutionized the field of machine learning with increased predictive capability. In addition to improving the predictions of neural networks, there is a simultaneous demand for reliable uncertainty quantification on estimates made by machine learning methods such as neural networks. Bayesian neural networks (BNNs) are an important type of neural network with built-in capability for quantifying uncertainty. This paper discusses aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty in BNNs and how they can be calculated. With an example dataset of images where the goal is to identify the amplitude of an event in the image, it is shown that epistemic uncertainty tends to be lower in images which are well-represented in the training dataset and tends to be high in images which are not well-represented. An algorithm for out-of-distribution (OoD) detection with BNN epistemic uncertainty is introduced along with various experiments demonstrating factors influencing the OoD detection capability in a BNN. The OoD detection capability with epistemic uncertainty is shown to be comparable to the OoD detection in the discriminator network of a generative adversarial network (GAN) with comparable network architecture.

The purpose of the research is to determine if currently available self-supervised learning techniques can accomplish human level comprehension of visual images using the same degree and amount of sensory input that people acquire from. Initial research on this topic solely considered data volume scaling. Here, we scale both the volume of data and the quality of the image. This scaling experiment is a self-supervised learning method that may be done without any outside financing. We find that scaling up data volume and picture resolution at the same time enables human-level item detection performance at sub-human sizes.We run a scaling experiment with vision transformers trained on up to 200000 images up to 256 ppi.

Compared to widely used likelihood-based approaches, the minimum contrast (MC) method is a computationally efficient method for estimation and inference of parametric stationary point processes. This advantage becomes more pronounced when analyzing complex point process models, such as multivariate log-Gaussian Cox processes (LGCP). Despite its practical advantages, there is very little work on the MC method for multivariate point processes. The aim of this article is to introduce a new MC method for parametric multivariate stationary spatial point processes. A contrast function is calculated based on the trace of the power of the difference between the conjectured $K$-function matrix and its nonparametric unbiased edge-corrected estimator. Under standard assumptions, the asymptotic normality of the MC estimator of the model parameters is derived. The performance of the proposed method is illustrated with bivariate LGCP simulations and a real data analysis of a bivariate point pattern of the 2014 terrorist attacks in Nigeria.

This study focuses on comparing deep learning methods for the segmentation and quantification of uncertainty in prostate segmentation from MRI images. The aim is to improve the workflow of prostate cancer detection and diagnosis. Seven different U-Net-based architectures, augmented with Monte-Carlo dropout, are evaluated for automatic segmentation of the central zone, peripheral zone, transition zone, and tumor, with uncertainty estimation. The top-performing model in this study is the Attention R2U-Net, achieving a mean Intersection over Union (IoU) of 76.3% and Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) of 85% for segmenting all zones. Additionally, Attention R2U-Net exhibits the lowest uncertainty values, particularly in the boundaries of the transition zone and tumor, when compared to the other models.

We hypothesize that due to the greedy nature of learning in multi-modal deep neural networks, these models tend to rely on just one modality while under-fitting the other modalities. Such behavior is counter-intuitive and hurts the models' generalization, as we observe empirically. To estimate the model's dependence on each modality, we compute the gain on the accuracy when the model has access to it in addition to another modality. We refer to this gain as the conditional utilization rate. In the experiments, we consistently observe an imbalance in conditional utilization rates between modalities, across multiple tasks and architectures. Since conditional utilization rate cannot be computed efficiently during training, we introduce a proxy for it based on the pace at which the model learns from each modality, which we refer to as the conditional learning speed. We propose an algorithm to balance the conditional learning speeds between modalities during training and demonstrate that it indeed addresses the issue of greedy learning. The proposed algorithm improves the model's generalization on three datasets: Colored MNIST, Princeton ModelNet40, and NVIDIA Dynamic Hand Gesture.

The remarkable practical success of deep learning has revealed some major surprises from a theoretical perspective. In particular, simple gradient methods easily find near-optimal solutions to non-convex optimization problems, and despite giving a near-perfect fit to training data without any explicit effort to control model complexity, these methods exhibit excellent predictive accuracy. We conjecture that specific principles underlie these phenomena: that overparametrization allows gradient methods to find interpolating solutions, that these methods implicitly impose regularization, and that overparametrization leads to benign overfitting. We survey recent theoretical progress that provides examples illustrating these principles in simpler settings. We first review classical uniform convergence results and why they fall short of explaining aspects of the behavior of deep learning methods. We give examples of implicit regularization in simple settings, where gradient methods lead to minimal norm functions that perfectly fit the training data. Then we review prediction methods that exhibit benign overfitting, focusing on regression problems with quadratic loss. For these methods, we can decompose the prediction rule into a simple component that is useful for prediction and a spiky component that is useful for overfitting but, in a favorable setting, does not harm prediction accuracy. We focus specifically on the linear regime for neural networks, where the network can be approximated by a linear model. In this regime, we demonstrate the success of gradient flow, and we consider benign overfitting with two-layer networks, giving an exact asymptotic analysis that precisely demonstrates the impact of overparametrization. We conclude by highlighting the key challenges that arise in extending these insights to realistic deep learning settings.

Graph representation learning for hypergraphs can be used to extract patterns among higher-order interactions that are critically important in many real world problems. Current approaches designed for hypergraphs, however, are unable to handle different types of hypergraphs and are typically not generic for various learning tasks. Indeed, models that can predict variable-sized heterogeneous hyperedges have not been available. Here we develop a new self-attention based graph neural network called Hyper-SAGNN applicable to homogeneous and heterogeneous hypergraphs with variable hyperedge sizes. We perform extensive evaluations on multiple datasets, including four benchmark network datasets and two single-cell Hi-C datasets in genomics. We demonstrate that Hyper-SAGNN significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art methods on traditional tasks while also achieving great performance on a new task called outsider identification. Hyper-SAGNN will be useful for graph representation learning to uncover complex higher-order interactions in different applications.
