This study addresses the issue of balancing graph summarization and graph change detection. Graph summarization compresses large-scale graphs into a smaller scale. However, the question remains: To what extent should the original graph be compressed? This problem is solved from the perspective of graph change detection, aiming to detect statistically significant changes using a stream of summary graphs. If the compression rate is extremely high, important changes can be ignored, whereas if the compression rate is extremely low, false alarms may increase with more memory. This implies that there is a trade-off between compression rate in graph summarization and accuracy in change detection. We propose a novel quantitative methodology to balance this trade-off to simultaneously realize reliable graph summarization and change detection. We introduce a probabilistic structure of hierarchical latent variable model into a graph, thereby designing a parameterized summary graph on the basis of the minimum description length principle. The parameter specifying the summary graph is then optimized so that the accuracy of change detection is guaranteed to suppress Type I error probability (probability of raising false alarms) to be less than a given confidence level. First, we provide a theoretical framework for connecting graph summarization with change detection. Then, we empirically demonstrate its effectiveness on synthetic and real datasets.

When deploying machine learning (ML) applications, the automated allocation of computing resources-commonly referred to as autoscaling-is crucial for maintaining a consistent inference time under fluctuating workloads. The objective is to maximize the Quality of Service metrics, emphasizing performance and availability, while minimizing resource costs. In this paper, we compare scalable deployment techniques across three levels of scaling: at the application level (TorchServe, RayServe) and the container level (K3s) in a local environment (production server), as well as at the container and machine levels in a cloud environment (Amazon Web Services Elastic Container Service and Elastic Kubernetes Service). The comparison is conducted through the study of mean and standard deviation of inference time in a multi-client scenario, along with upscaling response times. Based on this analysis, we propose a deployment strategy for both local and cloud-based environments.

Adept traffic models are critical to both planning and closed-loop simulation for autonomous vehicles (AV), and key design objectives include accuracy, diverse multimodal behaviors, interpretability, and downstream compatibility. Recently, with the advent of large language models (LLMs), an additional desirable feature for traffic models is LLM compatibility. We present Categorical Traffic Transformer (CTT), a traffic model that outputs both continuous trajectory predictions and tokenized categorical predictions (lane modes, homotopies, etc.). The most outstanding feature of CTT is its fully interpretable latent space, which enables direct supervision of the latent variable from the ground truth during training and avoids mode collapse completely. As a result, CTT can generate diverse behaviors conditioned on different latent modes with semantic meanings while beating SOTA on prediction accuracy. In addition, CTT's ability to input and output tokens enables integration with LLMs for common-sense reasoning and zero-shot generalization.

While fine-tuning unlocks the potential of a pre-trained model for a specific task, it compromises the model's ability to generalize to out-of-distribution (OOD) datasets. To mitigate this, robust fine-tuning aims to ensure performance on OOD datasets as well as on an in-distribution (ID) dataset for which the model is being tuned. However, another criterion for reliable machine learning (ML), confidence calibration, has been overlooked despite its increasing demand for real-world high-stakes ML applications (e.g., autonomous driving and medical diagnosis). For the first time, we raise concerns about the calibration of fine-tuned vision-language models (VLMs) under distribution shift by showing that naive fine-tuning and even state-of-the-art robust fine-tuning methods hurt the calibration of pre-trained VLMs, especially on OOD datasets. To address this issue, we provide a simple approach, called calibrated robust fine-tuning (CaRot), that incentivizes calibration and robustness on both ID and OOD datasets. Empirical results on ImageNet-1K distribution shift evaluation verify the effectiveness of our method.

An innovative strategy to enhance the security of symmetric substitution ciphers is presented, through the implementation of a randomized key matrix suitable for various file formats, including but not limited to binary and text files. Despite their historical relevance, symmetric substitution ciphers have been limited by vulnerabilities to cryptanalytic methods like frequency analysis and known plaintext attacks. The aim of our research is to mitigate these vulnerabilities by employing a polyalphabetic substitution strategy that incorporates a distinct randomized key matrix. This matrix plays a pivotal role in generating a unique random key, comprising characters, encompassing both uppercase and lowercase letters, numeric, and special characters, to derive the corresponding ciphertext. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology in enhancing the security of conventional substitution methods for file encryption and decryption is supported by comprehensive testing and analysis, which encompass computational speed, frequency analysis, keyspace examination, Kasiski test, entropy analysis, and the utilization of a large language model.

Previously, non-autoregressive models were widely perceived as being superior in generation efficiency but inferior in generation quality due to the difficulties of modeling multiple target modalities. To enhance the multi-modality modeling ability, we propose the diffusion glancing transformer, which employs a modality diffusion process and residual glancing sampling. The modality diffusion process is a discrete process that interpolates the multi-modal distribution along the decoding steps, and the residual glancing sampling approach guides the model to continuously learn the remaining modalities across the layers. Experimental results on various machine translation and text generation benchmarks demonstrate that DIFFGLAT achieves better generation accuracy while maintaining fast decoding speed compared with both autoregressive and non-autoregressive models.

The accurate prediction of smooth steering inputs is crucial for autonomous vehicle applications because control actions with jitter might cause the vehicle system to become unstable. To address this problem in automobile lane-keeping control without the use of additional smoothing algorithms, we developed a soft-constrained iterative linear-quadratic regulator (soft-CILQR) algorithm by integrating CILQR algorithm and a model predictive control (MPC) constraint relaxation method. We incorporated slack variables into the state and control barrier functions of the soft-CILQR solver to soften the constraints in the optimization process so that stabilizing control inputs can be calculated in a relatively simple manner. Two types of automotive lane-keeping experiments were conducted with a linear system dynamics model to test the performance of the proposed soft-CILQR algorithm and to compare its performance with that of the CILQR algorithm: numerical simulations and experiments involving challenging vision-based maneuvers. In the numerical simulations, the soft-CILQR and CILQR solvers managed to drive the system toward the reference state asymptotically; however, the soft-CILQR solver obtained smooth steering input trajectories more easily than did the CILQR solver under conditions involving additive disturbances. In the experiments with visual inputs, the soft-CILQR controller outperformed the CILQR controller in terms of tracking accuracy and steering smoothness during the driving of an ego vehicle on TORCS.

The adoption of Reinforcement Learning (RL) in several human-centred applications provides robots with autonomous decision-making capabilities and adaptability based on the observations of the operating environment. In such scenarios, however, the learning process can make robots' behaviours unclear and unpredictable to humans, thus preventing a smooth and effective Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). As a consequence, it becomes crucial to avoid robots performing actions that are unclear to the user. In this work, we investigate whether including human preferences in RL (concerning the actions the robot performs during learning) improves the transparency of a robot's behaviours. For this purpose, a shielding mechanism is included in the RL algorithm to include human preferences and to monitor the learning agent's decisions. We carried out a within-subjects study involving 26 participants to evaluate the robot's transparency in terms of Legibility, Predictability, and Expectability in different settings. Results indicate that considering human preferences during learning improves Legibility with respect to providing only Explanations, and combining human preferences with explanations elucidating the rationale behind the robot's decisions further amplifies transparency. Results also confirm that an increase in transparency leads to an increase in the safety, comfort, and reliability of the robot. These findings show the importance of transparency during learning and suggest a paradigm for robotic applications with human in the loop.

The pursuit of autonomous driving technology hinges on the sophisticated integration of perception, decision-making, and control systems. Traditional approaches, both data-driven and rule-based, have been hindered by their inability to grasp the nuance of complex driving environments and the intentions of other road users. This has been a significant bottleneck, particularly in the development of common sense reasoning and nuanced scene understanding necessary for safe and reliable autonomous driving. The advent of Visual Language Models (VLM) represents a novel frontier in realizing fully autonomous vehicle driving. This report provides an exhaustive evaluation of the latest state-of-the-art VLM, GPT-4V(ision), and its application in autonomous driving scenarios. We explore the model's abilities to understand and reason about driving scenes, make decisions, and ultimately act in the capacity of a driver. Our comprehensive tests span from basic scene recognition to complex causal reasoning and real-time decision-making under varying conditions. Our findings reveal that GPT-4V demonstrates superior performance in scene understanding and causal reasoning compared to existing autonomous systems. It showcases the potential to handle out-of-distribution scenarios, recognize intentions, and make informed decisions in real driving contexts. However, challenges remain, particularly in direction discernment, traffic light recognition, vision grounding, and spatial reasoning tasks. These limitations underscore the need for further research and development.

Conventional methods for object detection typically require a substantial amount of training data and preparing such high-quality training data is very labor-intensive. In this paper, we propose a novel few-shot object detection network that aims at detecting objects of unseen categories with only a few annotated examples. Central to our method are our Attention-RPN, Multi-Relation Detector and Contrastive Training strategy, which exploit the similarity between the few shot support set and query set to detect novel objects while suppressing false detection in the background. To train our network, we contribute a new dataset that contains 1000 categories of various objects with high-quality annotations. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the first datasets specifically designed for few-shot object detection. Once our few-shot network is trained, it can detect objects of unseen categories without further training or fine-tuning. Our method is general and has a wide range of potential applications. We produce a new state-of-the-art performance on different datasets in the few-shot setting. The dataset link is //github.com/fanq15/Few-Shot-Object-Detection-Dataset.
