This paper introduces DEM-Engine, a new submodule of Project Chrono, that is designed to carry out Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations. Based on spherical primitive shapes, DEM-Engine can simulate polydisperse granular materials and handle complex shapes generated as assemblies of primitives, referred to as clumps. DEM-Engine has a multi-tier parallelized structure that is optimized to operate simultaneously on two GPUs. The code uses custom-defined data types to reduce memory footprint and increase bandwidth. A novel "delayed contact detection" algorithm allows the decoupling of the contact detection and force computation, thus splitting the workload into two asynchronous GPU streams. DEM-Engine uses just-in-time compilation to support user-defined contact force models. This paper discusses its C++ and Python interfaces and presents a variety of numerical tests, in which impact forces, complex-shaped particle flows, and a custom force model are validated considering well-known benchmark cases. Additionally, the full potential of the simulator is demonstrated for the investigation of extraterrestrial rover mobility on granular terrain. The chosen case study demonstrates that large-scale co-simulations (comprising 11 million elements) spanning 15 seconds, in conjunction with an external multi-body dynamics system, can be efficiently executed within a day. Lastly, a performance test suggests that DEM-Engine displays linear scaling up to 150 million elements on two NVIDIA A100 GPUs.

Zero Involvement Pairing and Authentication (ZIPA) is a promising technique for auto-provisioning large networks of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices. Presently, these networks use password-based authentication, which is difficult to scale to more than a handful of devices. To deal with this challenge, ZIPA enabled devices autonomously extract identical authentication or encryption keys from ambient environmental signals. However, during the key negotiation process, existing ZIPA systems leak information on a public wireless channel which can allow adversaries to learn the key. We demonstrate a passive attack called SyncBleed, which uses leaked information to reconstruct keys generated by ZIPA systems. To mitigate SyncBleed, we present TREVOR, an improved key generation technique that produces nearly identical bit sequences from environmental signals without leaking information. We demonstrate that TREVOR can generate keys from a variety of environmental signal types under 4 seconds, consistently achieving a 90-95% bit agreement rate across devices within various environmental sources.

Federated learning (FL) is a classic paradigm of 6G edge intelligence (EI), which alleviates privacy leaks and high communication pressure caused by traditional centralized data processing in the artificial intelligence of things (AIoT). The implementation of multimodal federated perception (MFP) services involves three sub-processes, including sensing-based multimodal data generation, communication-based model transmission, and computing-based model training, ultimately relying on available underlying multi-domain physical resources such as time, frequency, and computing power. How to reasonably coordinate the multi-domain resources scheduling among sensing, communication, and computing, therefore, is crucial to the MFP networks. To address the above issues, this paper investigates service-oriented resource management with integrated sensing, communication, and computing (ISCC). With the incentive mechanism of the MFP service market, the resources management problem is redefined as a social welfare maximization problem, where the idea of "expanding resources" and "reducing costs" is used to improve learning performance gain and reduce resource costs. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed resource scheduling mechanisms.

Clinical neuroimaging data is naturally hierarchical. Different magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences within a series, different slices covering the head, and different regions within each slice all confer different information. In this work we present a hierarchical attention network for abnormality detection using MRI scans obtained in a clinical hospital setting. The proposed network is suitable for non-volumetric data (i.e. stacks of high-resolution MRI slices), and can be trained from binary examination-level labels. We show that this hierarchical approach leads to improved classification, while providing interpretability through either coarse inter- and intra-slice abnormality localisation, or giving importance scores for different slices and sequences, making our model suitable for use as an automated triaging system in radiology departments.

This paper concerns the approximation of smooth, high-dimensional functions from limited samples using polynomials. This task lies at the heart of many applications in computational science and engineering - notably, some of those arising from parametric modelling and computational uncertainty quantification. It is common to use Monte Carlo sampling in such applications, so as not to succumb to the curse of dimensionality. However, it is well known that such a strategy is theoretically suboptimal. Specifically, there are many polynomial spaces of dimension $n$ for which the sample complexity scales log-quadratically, i.e., like $c \cdot n^2 \cdot \log(n)$ as $n \rightarrow \infty$. This well-documented phenomenon has led to a concerted effort over the last decade to design improved, and moreover, near-optimal strategies, whose sample complexities scale log-linearly, or even linearly in $n$. In this work we demonstrate that Monte Carlo is actually a perfectly good strategy in high dimensions, despite its apparent suboptimality. We first document this phenomenon empirically via a systematic set of numerical experiments. Next, we present a theoretical analysis that rigorously justifies this fact in the case of holomorphic functions of infinitely-many variables. We show that there is a least-squares approximation based on $m$ Monte Carlo samples whose error decays algebraically fast in $m/\log(m)$, with a rate that is the same as that of the best $n$-term polynomial approximation. This result is non-constructive, since it assumes knowledge of a suitable polynomial subspace in which to perform the approximation. We next present a compressed sensing-based scheme that achieves the same rate, except for a larger polylogarithmic factor. This scheme is practical, and numerically it performs as well as or better than well-known adaptive least-squares schemes.

A recent line of work on VC set systems in minor-free (undirected) graphs, starting from Li and Parter, who constructed a new VC set system for planar graphs, has given surprising algorithmic results. In this work, we initialize a more systematic study of VC set systems for minor-free graphs and their applications in both undirected graphs and directed graphs (a.k.a digraphs). More precisely: - We propose a new variant of Li-Parter set system for undirected graphs. - We extend our set system to $K_h$-minor-free digraphs and show that its VC dimension is $O(h^2)$. - We show that the system of directed balls in minor-free digraphs has VC dimension at most $h-1$. - On the negative side, we show that VC set system constructed from shortest path trees of planar digraphs does not have a bounded VC dimension. The highlight of our work is the results for digraphs, as we are not aware of known algorithmic work on constructing and exploiting VC set systems for digraphs.

The evaluation of the fidelity of eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) methods to their underlying models is a challenging task, primarily due to the absence of a ground truth for explanations. However, assessing fidelity is a necessary step for ensuring a correct XAI methodology. In this study, we conduct a fair and objective comparison of the current state-of-the-art XAI methods by introducing three novel image datasets with reliable ground truth for explanations. The primary objective of this comparison is to identify methods with low fidelity and eliminate them from further research, thereby promoting the development of more trustworthy and effective XAI techniques. Our results demonstrate that XAI methods based on the backpropagation of output information to input yield higher accuracy and reliability compared to methods relying on sensitivity analysis or Class Activation Maps (CAM). However, the backpropagation method tends to generate more noisy saliency maps. These findings have significant implications for the advancement of XAI methods, enabling the elimination of erroneous explanations and fostering the development of more robust and reliable XAI.

Machine Learning as a Service (MLaaS) APIs provide ready-to-use and high-utility encoders that generate vector representations for given inputs. Since these encoders are very costly to train, they become lucrative targets for model stealing attacks during which an adversary leverages query access to the API to replicate the encoder locally at a fraction of the original training costs. We propose Bucks for Buckets (B4B), the first active defense that prevents stealing while the attack is happening without degrading representation quality for legitimate API users. Our defense relies on the observation that the representations returned to adversaries who try to steal the encoder's functionality cover a significantly larger fraction of the embedding space than representations of legitimate users who utilize the encoder to solve a particular downstream task.vB4B leverages this to adaptively adjust the utility of the returned representations according to a user's coverage of the embedding space. To prevent adaptive adversaries from eluding our defense by simply creating multiple user accounts (sybils), B4B also individually transforms each user's representations. This prevents the adversary from directly aggregating representations over multiple accounts to create their stolen encoder copy. Our active defense opens a new path towards securely sharing and democratizing encoders over public APIs.

This paper presents a comprehensive and practical guide for practitioners and end-users working with Large Language Models (LLMs) in their downstream natural language processing (NLP) tasks. We provide discussions and insights into the usage of LLMs from the perspectives of models, data, and downstream tasks. Firstly, we offer an introduction and brief summary of current GPT- and BERT-style LLMs. Then, we discuss the influence of pre-training data, training data, and test data. Most importantly, we provide a detailed discussion about the use and non-use cases of large language models for various natural language processing tasks, such as knowledge-intensive tasks, traditional natural language understanding tasks, natural language generation tasks, emergent abilities, and considerations for specific tasks.We present various use cases and non-use cases to illustrate the practical applications and limitations of LLMs in real-world scenarios. We also try to understand the importance of data and the specific challenges associated with each NLP task. Furthermore, we explore the impact of spurious biases on LLMs and delve into other essential considerations, such as efficiency, cost, and latency, to ensure a comprehensive understanding of deploying LLMs in practice. This comprehensive guide aims to provide researchers and practitioners with valuable insights and best practices for working with LLMs, thereby enabling the successful implementation of these models in a wide range of NLP tasks. A curated list of practical guide resources of LLMs, regularly updated, can be found at \url{//github.com/Mooler0410/LLMsPracticalGuide}.

Recent work pre-training Transformers with self-supervised objectives on large text corpora has shown great success when fine-tuned on downstream NLP tasks including text summarization. However, pre-training objectives tailored for abstractive text summarization have not been explored. Furthermore there is a lack of systematic evaluation across diverse domains. In this work, we propose pre-training large Transformer-based encoder-decoder models on massive text corpora with a new self-supervised objective. In PEGASUS, important sentences are removed/masked from an input document and are generated together as one output sequence from the remaining sentences, similar to an extractive summary. We evaluated our best PEGASUS model on 12 downstream summarization tasks spanning news, science, stories, instructions, emails, patents, and legislative bills. Experiments demonstrate it achieves state-of-the-art performance on all 12 downstream datasets measured by ROUGE scores. Our model also shows surprising performance on low-resource summarization, surpassing previous state-of-the-art results on 6 datasets with only 1000 examples. Finally we validated our results using human evaluation and show that our model summaries achieve human performance on multiple datasets.
