Change detection aims to identify remote sense object changes by analyzing data between bitemporal image pairs. Due to the large temporal and spatial span of data collection in change detection image pairs, there are often a significant amount of task-specific and task-agnostic noise. Previous effort has focused excessively on denoising, with this goes a great deal of loss of fine-grained information. In this paper, we revisit the importance of fine-grained features in change detection and propose a series of operations for fine-grained information compensation and noise decoupling (FINO). First, the context is utilized to compensate for the fine-grained information in the feature space. Next, a shape-aware and a brightness-aware module are designed to improve the capacity for representation learning. The shape-aware module guides the backbone for more precise shape estimation, guiding the backbone network in extracting object shape features. The brightness-aware module learns a overall brightness estimation to improve the model's robustness to task-agnostic noise. Finally, a task-specific noise decoupling structure is designed as a way to improve the model's ability to separate noise interference from feature similarity. With these training schemes, our proposed method achieves new state-of-the-art (SOTA) results in multiple change detection benchmarks. The code will be made available.

Temporal prediction is one of the most important technologies for video compression. Various prediction coding modes are designed in traditional video codecs. Traditional video codecs will adaptively to decide the optimal coding mode according to the prediction quality and reference quality. Recently, learned video codecs have made great progress. However, they ignore the prediction and reference quality adaptation, which leads to incorrect utilization of temporal prediction and reconstruction error propagation. Therefore, in this paper, we first propose a confidence-based prediction quality adaptation (PQA) module to provide explicit discrimination for the spatial and channel-wise prediction quality difference. With this module, the prediction with low quality will be suppressed and that with high quality will be enhanced. The codec can adaptively decide which spatial or channel location of predictions to use. Then, we further propose a reference quality adaptation (RQA) module and an associated repeat-long training strategy to provide dynamic spatially variant filters for diverse reference qualities. With the filters, it is easier for our codec to achieve the target reconstruction quality according to reference qualities, thus reducing the propagation of reconstruction errors. Experimental results show that our codec obtains higher compression performance than the reference software of H.266/VVC and the previous state-of-the-art learned video codecs in both RGB and YUV420 colorspaces.

Modern memory hierarchies work well with applications that have good spatial locality. Evolving (dynamic) graphs are important applications widely used to model graphs and networks with edge and vertex changes. They exhibit irregular memory access patterns and suffer from a high miss ratio and long miss penalty. Prefetching can be employed to predict and fetch future demand misses. However, current hardware prefetchers can not efficiently predict for applications with irregular memory accesses. In evolving graph applications, vertices that do not change during graph changes exhibit the same access correlation patterns. Current temporal prefetchers use one-to-one or one-to-many correlation to exploit these patterns. Similar patterns are recorded in the same entry, which causes aliasing and can lead to poor prefetch accuracy and coverage. This work proposes a software-assisted hardware prefetcher for evolving graphs. The key idea is to record the correlations between a sequence of vertex accesses and the following misses and then prefetch when the same vertex access sequence occurs in the future. The proposed Access-to-Miss Correlation (AMC) prefetcher provides a lightweight programming interface to identify the data structures of interest and sets the iteration boundary to update the correlation table. For the evaluated applications, AMC achieves a geomean speedup of 1.5x as compared to the best-performing prefetcher in prior work (VLDP). AMC can achieve an average of 62% accuracy and coverage, whereas VLDP has an accuracy of 31% and coverage of 23%.

Quantum computing and modern tensor-based computing have a strong connection, which is especially demonstrated by simulating quantum computations with tensor networks. The other direction is less studied: quantum computing is not often applied to tensor-based problems. Considering tensor decompositions, we focus on discovering practical matrix multiplication algorithms and develop two algorithms to compute decompositions on quantum computers. The algorithms are expressed as higher-order unconstrained binary optimization (HUBO) problems, which are translated into quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) problems. Our first algorithm is decompositional to keep the optimization problem feasible for the current quantum devices. Starting from a suitable initial point, the algorithm discovers tensor decomposition corresponding to the famous Strassen matrix multiplication algorithm, utilizing the current quantum annealers. Since the decompositional algorithm does not guarantee minimal length for found tensor decompositions, we develop a holistic algorithm that can find fixed-length decompositions. Theoretically, by fixing a shorter length than the length for the best-known decomposition, we can ensure that the solution to the holistic optimization problem would yield faster matrix multiplication algorithms.

Meta computing is a new computing paradigm that aims to efficiently utilize all network computing resources to provide fault-tolerant, personalized services with strong security and privacy guarantees. It also seeks to virtualize the Internet as many meta computers. In meta computing, tasks can be assigned to containers at edge nodes for processing, based on container images with multiple layers. The dynamic and resource-constrained nature of meta computing environments requires an optimal container migration strategy for mobile users to minimize latency. However, the problem of container migration in meta computing has not been thoroughly explored. To address this gap, we present low-latency, layer-aware container migration strategies that consider both proactive and passive migration. Specifically: 1) We formulate the container migration problem in meta computing, taking into account layer dependencies to reduce migration costs and overall task duration by considering four delays. 2) We introduce a reinforcement learning algorithm based on policy gradients to minimize total latency by identifying layer dependencies for action selection, making decisions for both proactive and passive migration. Expert demonstrations are introduced to enhance exploitation. 3) Experiments using real data trajectories show that the algorithm outperforms baseline algorithms, achieving lower total latency.

Algorithms for bilevel optimization often encounter Hessian computations, which are prohibitive in high dimensions. While recent works offer first-order methods for unconstrained bilevel problems, the constrained setting remains relatively underexplored. We present first-order linearly constrained optimization methods with finite-time hypergradient stationarity guarantees. For linear equality constraints, we attain $\epsilon$-stationarity in $\widetilde{O}(\epsilon^{-2})$ gradient oracle calls, which is nearly-optimal. For linear inequality constraints, we attain $(\delta,\epsilon)$-Goldstein stationarity in $\widetilde{O}(d{\delta^{-1} \epsilon^{-3}})$ gradient oracle calls, where $d$ is the upper-level dimension. Finally, we obtain for the linear inequality setting dimension-free rates of $\widetilde{O}({\delta^{-1} \epsilon^{-4}})$ oracle complexity under the additional assumption of oracle access to the optimal dual variable. Along the way, we develop new nonsmooth nonconvex optimization methods with inexact oracles. We verify these guarantees with preliminary numerical experiments.

Object detection is crucial for ensuring safe autonomous driving. However, data-driven approaches face challenges when encountering minority or novel objects in the 3D driving scene. In this paper, we propose VisLED, a language-driven active learning framework for diverse open-set 3D Object Detection. Our method leverages active learning techniques to query diverse and informative data samples from an unlabeled pool, enhancing the model's ability to detect underrepresented or novel objects. Specifically, we introduce the Vision-Language Embedding Diversity Querying (VisLED-Querying) algorithm, which operates in both open-world exploring and closed-world mining settings. In open-world exploring, VisLED-Querying selects data points most novel relative to existing data, while in closed-world mining, it mines novel instances of known classes. We evaluate our approach on the nuScenes dataset and demonstrate its efficiency compared to random sampling and entropy-querying methods. Our results show that VisLED-Querying consistently outperforms random sampling and offers competitive performance compared to entropy-querying despite the latter's model-optimality, highlighting the potential of VisLED for improving object detection in autonomous driving scenarios. We make our code publicly available at //github.com/Bjork-crypto/VisLED-Querying

To ensure the usefulness of Reinforcement Learning (RL) in real systems, it is crucial to ensure they are robust to noise and adversarial attacks. In adversarial RL, an external attacker has the power to manipulate the victim agent's interaction with the environment. We study the full class of online manipulation attacks, which include (i) state attacks, (ii) observation attacks (which are a generalization of perceived-state attacks), (iii) action attacks, and (iv) reward attacks. We show the attacker's problem of designing a stealthy attack that maximizes its own expected reward, which often corresponds to minimizing the victim's value, is captured by a Markov Decision Process (MDP) that we call a meta-MDP since it is not the true environment but a higher level environment induced by the attacked interaction. We show that the attacker can derive optimal attacks by planning in polynomial time or learning with polynomial sample complexity using standard RL techniques. We argue that the optimal defense policy for the victim can be computed as the solution to a stochastic Stackelberg game, which can be further simplified into a partially-observable turn-based stochastic game (POTBSG). Neither the attacker nor the victim would benefit from deviating from their respective optimal policies, thus such solutions are truly robust. Although the defense problem is NP-hard, we show that optimal Markovian defenses can be computed (learned) in polynomial time (sample complexity) in many scenarios.

We consider dimension reduction of multiview data, which are emerging in scientific studies. Formulating multiview data as multi-variate data with block structures corresponding to the different views, or views of data, we estimate top eigenvectors from multiview data that have two-fold sparsity, elementwise sparsity and blockwise sparsity. We propose a Fantope-based optimization criterion with multiple penalties to enforce the desired sparsity patterns and a denoising step is employed to handle potential presence of heteroskedastic noise across different data views. An alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) algorithm is used for optimization. We derive the l2 convergence of the estimated top eigenvectors and establish their sparsity and support recovery properties. Numerical studies are used to illustrate the proposed method.

Autonomic computing investigates how systems can achieve (user) specified control outcomes on their own, without the intervention of a human operator. Autonomic computing fundamentals have been substantially influenced by those of control theory for closed and open-loop systems. In practice, complex systems may exhibit a number of concurrent and inter-dependent control loops. Despite research into autonomic models for managing computer resources, ranging from individual resources (e.g., web servers) to a resource ensemble (e.g., multiple resources within a data center), research into integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to improve resource autonomy and performance at scale continues to be a fundamental challenge. The integration of AI/ML to achieve such autonomic and self-management of systems can be achieved at different levels of granularity, from full to human-in-the-loop automation. In this article, leading academics, researchers, practitioners, engineers, and scientists in the fields of cloud computing, AI/ML, and quantum computing join to discuss current research and potential future directions for these fields. Further, we discuss challenges and opportunities for leveraging AI and ML in next generation computing for emerging computing paradigms, including cloud, fog, edge, serverless and quantum computing environments.
