Quantifying the impact of individual data samples on machine learning models is an open research problem. This is particularly relevant when complex and high-dimensional relationships have to be learned from a limited sample of the data generating distribution, such as in deep learning. It was previously shown that, in these cases, models rely not only on extracting patterns which are helpful for generalisation, but also seem to be required to incorporate some of the training data more or less as is, in a process often termed memorisation. This raises the question: if some memorisation is a requirement for effective learning, what are its privacy implications? In this work we unify a broad range of previous definitions and perspectives on memorisation in ML, discuss their interplay with model generalisation and their implications of these phenomena on data privacy. Moreover, we systematise methods allowing practitioners to detect the occurrence of memorisation or quantify it and contextualise our findings in a broad range of ML learning settings. Finally, we discuss memorisation in the context of privacy attacks, differential privacy (DP) and adversarial actors.

Completely random measures (CRMs) and their normalizations (NCRMs) offer flexible models in Bayesian nonparametrics. But their infinite dimensionality presents challenges for inference. Two popular finite approximations are truncated finite approximations (TFAs) and independent finite approximations (IFAs). While the former have been well-studied, IFAs lack similarly general bounds on approximation error, and there has been no systematic comparison between the two options. In the present work, we propose a general recipe to construct practical finite-dimensional approximations for homogeneous CRMs and NCRMs, in the presence or absence of power laws. We call our construction the automated independent finite approximation (AIFA). Relative to TFAs, we show that AIFAs facilitate more straightforward derivations and use of parallel computing in approximate inference. We upper bound the approximation error of AIFAs for a wide class of common CRMs and NCRMs -- and thereby develop guidelines for choosing the approximation level. Our lower bounds in key cases suggest that our upper bounds are tight. We prove that, for worst-case choices of observation likelihoods, TFAs are more efficient than AIFAs. Conversely, we find that in real-data experiments with standard likelihoods, AIFAs and TFAs perform similarly. Moreover, we demonstrate that AIFAs can be used for hyperparameter estimation even when other potential IFA options struggle or do not apply.

Work in AI ethics and fairness has made much progress in regulating LLMs to reflect certain values, such as fairness, truth, and diversity. However, it has taken the problem of how LLMs might 'mean' anything at all for granted. Without addressing this, it is not clear what imbuing LLMs with such values even means. In response, we provide a general theory of meaning that extends beyond humans. We use this theory to explicate the precise nature of LLMs as meaning-agents. We suggest that the LLM, by virtue of its position as a meaning-agent, already grasps the constructions of human society (e.g. morality, gender, and race) in concept. Consequently, under certain ethical frameworks, currently popular methods for model alignment are limited at best and counterproductive at worst. Moreover, unaligned models may help us better develop our moral and social philosophy.

Using fault-tolerant constructions, computations performed with unreliable components can simulate their noiseless counterparts though the introduction of a modest amount of redundancy. Given the modest overhead required to achieve fault-tolerance, and the fact that increasing the reliability of basic components often comes at a cost, are there situations where fault-tolerance may be more economical? We present a general framework to account for this overhead cost in order to effectively compare fault-tolerant to non-fault-tolerant approaches for computation, in the limit of small logical error rates. Using this detailed accounting, we determine explicit boundaries at which fault-tolerant designs become more efficient than designs that achieve comparable reliability through direct consumption of resources. We find that the fault-tolerant construction is always preferred in the limit of high reliability in cases where the resources required to construct a basic unit grows faster than $\log(1 / \epsilon)$ asymptotically for small $\epsilon$.

The synthesis of information deriving from complex networks is a topic receiving increasing relevance in ecology and environmental sciences. In particular, the aggregation of multilayer networks, i.e. network structures formed by multiple interacting networks (the layers), constitutes a fast-growing field. In several environmental applications, the layers of a multilayer network are modelled as a collection of similarity matrices describing how similar pairs of biological entities are, based on different types of features (e.g. biological traits). The present paper first discusses two main techniques for combining the multi-layered information into a single network (the so-called monoplex), i.e. Similarity Network Fusion (SNF) and Similarity Matrix Average (SMA). Then, the effectiveness of the two methods is tested on a real-world dataset of the relative abundance of microbial species in the ecosystems of nine glaciers (four glaciers in the Alps and five in the Andes). A preliminary clustering analysis on the monoplexes obtained with different methods shows the emergence of a tightly connected community formed by species that are typical of cryoconite holes worldwide. Moreover, the weights assigned to different layers by the SMA algorithm suggest that two large South American glaciers (Exploradores and Perito Moreno) are structurally different from the smaller glaciers in both Europe and South America. Overall, these results highlight the importance of integration methods in the discovery of the underlying organizational structure of biological entities in multilayer ecological networks.

We establish conditions under which latent causal graphs are nonparametrically identifiable and can be reconstructed from unknown interventions in the latent space. Our primary focus is the identification of the latent structure in measurement models without parametric assumptions such as linearity or Gaussianity. Moreover, we do not assume the number of hidden variables is known, and we show that at most one unknown intervention per hidden variable is needed. This extends a recent line of work on learning causal representations from observations and interventions. The proofs are constructive and introduce two new graphical concepts -- imaginary subsets and isolated edges -- that may be useful in their own right. As a matter of independent interest, the proofs also involve a novel characterization of the limits of edge orientations within the equivalence class of DAGs induced by unknown interventions. These are the first results to characterize the conditions under which causal representations are identifiable without making any parametric assumptions in a general setting with unknown interventions and without faithfulness.

Large-sample Bayesian analogs exist for many frequentist methods, but are less well-known for the widely-used 'sandwich' or 'robust' variance estimates. We review existing approaches to Bayesian analogs of sandwich variance estimates and propose a new analog, as the Bayes rule under a form of balanced loss function, that combines elements of standard parametric inference with fidelity of the data to the model. Our development is general, for essentially any regression setting with independent outcomes. Being the large-sample equivalent of its frequentist counterpart, we show by simulation that Bayesian robust standard error estimates can faithfully quantify the variability of parameter estimates even under model misspecification -- thus retaining the major attraction of the original frequentist version. We demonstrate our Bayesian analog of standard error estimates when studying the association between age and systolic blood pressure in NHANES.

We introduce PUNQ, a novel quantum programming language with quantum control, which features higher-order programs that can be superposed, enabling quantum control via quantum conditionals. Our language boasts a type system guaranteeing both unitarity and polynomial-time normalization. Unitarity is achieved by using a special modality for superpositions while requiring orthogonality among superposed terms. Polynomial-time normalization is achieved using a linear-logic-based type discipline employing Barber and Plotkin duality along with a specific modality to account for potential duplications. This type discipline also guarantees that derived values have polynomial size. PUNQ seamlessly combines the two modalities: quantum circuit programs uphold unitarity, and all programs are evaluated in polynomial time, ensuring their feasibility.

The availability of digital twins for the cardiovascular system will enable insightful computational tools both for research and clinical practice. This, however, demands robust and well defined methods for the different steps involved in the process. We present a vessel coordinate system (VCS) that enables the unanbiguous definition of locations in a vessel section, by adapting the idea of cylindrical coordinates to the vessel geometry. Using the VCS, point correspondence can be defined among different samples of a cohort, allowing data transfer, quantitative comparison, shape coregistration or population analysis. We provide the technical details for coordinates computation and discuss the assumptions taken to guarantee that they are well defined. The VCS is tested in a series of applications. We present a robust, low dimensional, patient specific vascular model and use it to study phenotype variability analysis of the thoracic aorta within a cohort of patients. Point correspondence is exploited to build an haemodynamics atlas of the aorta for the same cohort. Across the paper, we also show how VCS can be used for visualization of different types of data on the anatomy.

This paper does not describe a working system. Instead, it presents a single idea about representation which allows advances made by several different groups to be combined into an imaginary system called GLOM. The advances include transformers, neural fields, contrastive representation learning, distillation and capsules. GLOM answers the question: How can a neural network with a fixed architecture parse an image into a part-whole hierarchy which has a different structure for each image? The idea is simply to use islands of identical vectors to represent the nodes in the parse tree. If GLOM can be made to work, it should significantly improve the interpretability of the representations produced by transformer-like systems when applied to vision or language
