We propose a new method for estimating subject-specific mean functions from longitudinal data. We aim to do this in a flexible manner (without restrictive assumptions about the shape of the subject-specific mean functions), while exploiting similarities in the mean functions between different subjects. Functional principal components analysis fulfils both requirements, and methods for functional principal components analysis have been developed for longitudinal data. However, we find that these existing methods sometimes give fitted mean functions which are more complex than needed to provide a good fit to the data. We develop a new penalised likelihood approach to flexibly model longitudinal data, with a penalty term to control the balance between fit to the data and smoothness of the subject-specific mean curves. We run simulation studies to demonstrate that the new method substantially improves the quality of inference relative to existing methods across a range of examples, and apply the method to data on changes in body composition in adolescent girls.

We investigate the extent to which Large Language Models (LLMs) can simulate the execution of computer code and algorithms. We begin by looking at straight line programs, and show that current LLMs demonstrate poor performance even with such simple programs -- performance rapidly degrades with the length of code. We then investigate the ability of LLMs to simulate programs that contain critical paths and redundant instructions. We also go beyond straight line program simulation with sorting algorithms and nested loops, and we show the computational complexity of a routine directly affects the ability of an LLM to simulate its execution. We observe that LLMs execute instructions sequentially and with a low error margin only for short programs or standard procedures. LLMs' code simulation is in tension with their pattern recognition and memorisation capabilities: on tasks where memorisation is detrimental, we propose a novel prompting method to simulate code execution line by line. Empirically, our new Chain of Simulation (CoSm) method improves on the standard Chain of Thought prompting approach by avoiding the pitfalls of memorisation.

Nucleus decompositions have been shown to be a useful tool for finding dense subgraphs. The coreness value of a clique represents its density based on the number of other cliques it is adjacent to. One useful output of nucleus decomposition is to generate a hierarchy among dense subgraphs at different resolutions. However, existing parallel algorithms for nucleus decomposition do not generate this hierarchy, and only compute the coreness values. This paper presents a scalable parallel algorithm for hierarchy construction, with practical optimizations, such as interleaving the coreness computation with hierarchy construction and using a concurrent union-find data structure in an innovative way to generate the hierarchy. We also introduce a parallel approximation algorithm for nucleus decomposition, which achieves much lower span in theory and better performance in practice. We prove strong theoretical bounds on the work and span (parallel time) of our algorithms. On a 30-core machine with two-way hyper-threading on real-world graphs, our parallel hierarchy construction algorithm achieves up to a 58.84x speedup over the state-of-the-art sequential hierarchy construction algorithm by Sariyuce et al. and up to a 30.96x self-relative parallel speedup. On the same machine, our approximation algorithm achieves a 3.3x speedup over our exact algorithm, while generating coreness estimates with a multiplicative error of 1.33x on average.

Data Augmentation (DA) -- enriching training data by adding synthetic samples -- is a technique widely adopted in Computer Vision (CV) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks to improve models performance. Yet, DA has struggled to gain traction in networking contexts, particularly in Traffic Classification (TC) tasks. In this work, we fulfill this gap by benchmarking 18 augmentation functions applied to 3 TC datasets using packet time series as input representation and considering a variety of training conditions. Our results show that (i) DA can reap benefits previously unexplored with (ii) augmentations acting on time series sequence order and masking being a better suit for TC and (iii) simple latent space analysis can provide hints about why augmentations have positive or negative effects.

Visually restoring underwater scenes primarily involves mitigating interference from underwater media. Existing methods ignore the inherent scale-related characteristics in underwater scenes. Therefore, we present the synergistic multi-scale detail refinement via intrinsic supervision (SMDR-IS) for enhancing underwater scene details, which contain multi-stages. The low-degradation stage from the original images furnishes the original stage with multi-scale details, achieved through feature propagation using the Adaptive Selective Intrinsic Supervised Feature (ASISF) module. By using intrinsic supervision, the ASISF module can precisely control and guide feature transmission across multi-degradation stages, enhancing multi-scale detail refinement and minimizing the interference from irrelevant information in the low-degradation stage. In multi-degradation encoder-decoder framework of SMDR-IS, we introduce the Bifocal Intrinsic-Context Attention Module (BICA). Based on the intrinsic supervision principles, BICA efficiently exploits multi-scale scene information in images. BICA directs higher-resolution spaces by tapping into the insights of lower-resolution ones, underscoring the pivotal role of spatial contextual relationships in underwater image restoration. Throughout training, the inclusion of a multi-degradation loss function can enhance the network, allowing it to adeptly extract information across diverse scales. When benchmarked against state-of-the-art methods, SMDR-IS consistently showcases superior performance. The code is publicly available at: //github.com/zhoujingchun03/SMDR-IS.

In online multiple testing, an a priori unknown number of hypotheses are tested sequentially, i.e. at each time point a test decision for the current hypothesis has to be made using only the data available so far. Although many powerful test procedures have been developed for online error control in recent years, most of them are designed solely for independent or at most locally dependent test statistics. In this work, we provide a new framework for deriving online multiple test procedures which ensure asymptotical (with respect to the sample size) control of the familywise error rate (FWER), regardless of the dependence structure between test statistics. In this context, we give a few concrete examples of such test procedures and discuss their properties. Furthermore, we conduct a simulation study in which the type I error control of these test procedures is also confirmed for a finite sample size and a gain in power is indicated.

2D-based Industrial Anomaly Detection has been widely discussed, however, multimodal industrial anomaly detection based on 3D point clouds and RGB images still has many untouched fields. Existing multimodal industrial anomaly detection methods directly concatenate the multimodal features, which leads to a strong disturbance between features and harms the detection performance. In this paper, we propose Multi-3D-Memory (M3DM), a novel multimodal anomaly detection method with hybrid fusion scheme: firstly, we design an unsupervised feature fusion with patch-wise contrastive learning to encourage the interaction of different modal features; secondly, we use a decision layer fusion with multiple memory banks to avoid loss of information and additional novelty classifiers to make the final decision. We further propose a point feature alignment operation to better align the point cloud and RGB features. Extensive experiments show that our multimodal industrial anomaly detection model outperforms the state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods on both detection and segmentation precision on MVTec-3D AD dataset. Code is available at //github.com/nomewang/M3DM.

Recently, graph neural networks (GNNs) have been widely used for document classification. However, most existing methods are based on static word co-occurrence graphs without sentence-level information, which poses three challenges:(1) word ambiguity, (2) word synonymity, and (3) dynamic contextual dependency. To address these challenges, we propose a novel GNN-based sparse structure learning model for inductive document classification. Specifically, a document-level graph is initially generated by a disjoint union of sentence-level word co-occurrence graphs. Our model collects a set of trainable edges connecting disjoint words between sentences and employs structure learning to sparsely select edges with dynamic contextual dependencies. Graphs with sparse structures can jointly exploit local and global contextual information in documents through GNNs. For inductive learning, the refined document graph is further fed into a general readout function for graph-level classification and optimization in an end-to-end manner. Extensive experiments on several real-world datasets demonstrate that the proposed model outperforms most state-of-the-art results, and reveal the necessity to learn sparse structures for each document.

Recent contrastive representation learning methods rely on estimating mutual information (MI) between multiple views of an underlying context. E.g., we can derive multiple views of a given image by applying data augmentation, or we can split a sequence into views comprising the past and future of some step in the sequence. Contrastive lower bounds on MI are easy to optimize, but have a strong underestimation bias when estimating large amounts of MI. We propose decomposing the full MI estimation problem into a sum of smaller estimation problems by splitting one of the views into progressively more informed subviews and by applying the chain rule on MI between the decomposed views. This expression contains a sum of unconditional and conditional MI terms, each measuring modest chunks of the total MI, which facilitates approximation via contrastive bounds. To maximize the sum, we formulate a contrastive lower bound on the conditional MI which can be approximated efficiently. We refer to our general approach as Decomposed Estimation of Mutual Information (DEMI). We show that DEMI can capture a larger amount of MI than standard non-decomposed contrastive bounds in a synthetic setting, and learns better representations in a vision domain and for dialogue generation.

Relation prediction for knowledge graphs aims at predicting missing relationships between entities. Despite the importance of inductive relation prediction, most previous works are limited to a transductive setting and cannot process previously unseen entities. The recent proposed subgraph-based relation reasoning models provided alternatives to predict links from the subgraph structure surrounding a candidate triplet inductively. However, we observe that these methods often neglect the directed nature of the extracted subgraph and weaken the role of relation information in the subgraph modeling. As a result, they fail to effectively handle the asymmetric/anti-symmetric triplets and produce insufficient embeddings for the target triplets. To this end, we introduce a \textbf{C}\textbf{o}mmunicative \textbf{M}essage \textbf{P}assing neural network for \textbf{I}nductive re\textbf{L}ation r\textbf{E}asoning, \textbf{CoMPILE}, that reasons over local directed subgraph structures and has a vigorous inductive bias to process entity-independent semantic relations. In contrast to existing models, CoMPILE strengthens the message interactions between edges and entitles through a communicative kernel and enables a sufficient flow of relation information. Moreover, we demonstrate that CoMPILE can naturally handle asymmetric/anti-symmetric relations without the need for explosively increasing the number of model parameters by extracting the directed enclosing subgraphs. Extensive experiments show substantial performance gains in comparison to state-of-the-art methods on commonly used benchmark datasets with variant inductive settings.
