Recent advancements in the domain of text-to-image synthesis have culminated in a multitude of enhancements pertaining to quality, fidelity, and diversity. Contemporary techniques enable the generation of highly intricate visuals which rapidly approach near-photorealistic quality. Nevertheless, as progress is achieved, the complexity of these methodologies increases, consequently intensifying the comprehension barrier between individuals within the field and those external to it. In an endeavor to mitigate this disparity, we propose a streamlined approach for text-to-image generation, which encompasses both the training paradigm and the sampling process. Despite its remarkable simplicity, our method yields aesthetically pleasing images with few sampling iterations, allows for intriguing ways for conditioning the model, and imparts advantages absent in state-of-the-art techniques. To demonstrate the efficacy of this approach in achieving outcomes comparable to existing works, we have trained a one-billion parameter text-conditional model, which we refer to as "Paella". In the interest of fostering future exploration in this field, we have made our source code and models publicly accessible for the research community.

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are an emerging research field. This specialized Deep Neural Network (DNN) architecture is capable of processing graph structured data and bridges the gap between graph processing and Deep Learning (DL). As graphs are everywhere, GNNs can be applied to various domains including recommendation systems, computer vision, natural language processing, biology and chemistry. With the rapid growing size of real world graphs, the need for efficient and scalable GNN training solutions has come. Consequently, many works proposing GNN systems have emerged throughout the past few years. However, there is an acute lack of overview, categorization and comparison of such systems. We aim to fill this gap by summarizing and categorizing important methods and techniques for large-scale GNN solutions. In addition, we establish connections between GNN systems, graph processing systems and DL systems.

In-memory computing for Machine Learning (ML) applications remedies the von Neumann bottlenecks by organizing computation to exploit parallelism and locality. Non-volatile memory devices such as Resistive RAM (ReRAM) offer integrated switching and storage capabilities showing promising performance for ML applications. However, ReRAM devices have design challenges, such as non-linear digital-analog conversion and circuit overheads. This paper proposes an In-Memory Boolean-to-Current Inference Architecture (IMBUE) that uses ReRAM-transistor cells to eliminate the need for such conversions. IMBUE processes Boolean feature inputs expressed as digital voltages and generates parallel current paths based on resistive memory states. The proportional column current is then translated back to the Boolean domain for further digital processing. The IMBUE architecture is inspired by the Tsetlin Machine (TM), an emerging ML algorithm based on intrinsically Boolean logic. The IMBUE architecture demonstrates significant performance improvements over binarized convolutional neural networks and digital TM in-memory implementations, achieving up to a 12.99x and 5.28x increase, respectively.

This paper studies an integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system for single-target detection in a cloud radio access network architecture. The system considers downlink communication and multi-static sensing approach, where ISAC transmit access points (APs) jointly serve the user equipments (UEs) and optionally steer a beam toward the target. A centralized operation of cell-free massive MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) is considered for communication and sensing purposes. A maximum a posteriori ratio test detector is developed to detect the target in the presence of clutter, so-called target-free signals. Moreover, a power allocation algorithm is proposed to maximize the sensing signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) while ensuring a minimum communication SINR value for each UE and meeting per-AP power constraints. Two ISAC setups are studied: i) using only existing communication beams for sensing and ii) using additional sensing beams. The proposed algorithm's efficiency is investigated in both realistic and idealistic scenarios, corresponding to the presence and absence of the target-free channels, respectively. Although detection probability degrades in the presence of target-free channels that act as interference, the proposed algorithm significantly outperforms the interference-unaware benchmark by exploiting the statistics of the clutter. It has also been shown that the proposed algorithm outperforms the fully communication-centric algorithm, both in the presence and absence of clutter. Moreover, using an additional sensing beam improves the detection performance for a target with lower radar cross-section variances compared to the case without sensing beams.

Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) is a promising paradigm to provide both sensing and communication (S&C) services in vehicular networks. However, the power of echo signals reflected from vehicles may be too weak to be used for future precise positioning, due to the practically small radar cross section of vehicles with random reflection/scattering coefficient. To tackle this issue, we propose a novel mutual assistance scheme for intelligent surface-mounted vehicles, where S&C are innovatively designed to assist each other for achieving an efficient win-win integration, i.e., sensing-assisted phase shift design and communication-assisted high-precision sensing. Specifically, we first derive closed-form expressions of the echo power and achievable rate under uncertain angle information. Then, the communication rate is maximized while satisfying sensing requirements, which is proved to be a monotonic optimization problem on time allocation. Furthermore, we unveil the feasible condition of the problem and propose a polyblock-based optimal algorithm. Simulation results validate that the performance trade-off bound of S&C is significantly enlarged by the novel design exploiting mutual assistance in intelligent surface-aided vehicular networks.

Accurate and efficient estimation of rare events probabilities is of significant importance, since often the occurrences of such events have widespread impacts. The focus in this work is on precisely quantifying these probabilities, often encountered in reliability analysis of complex engineering systems, based on an introduced framework termed Approximate Sampling Target with Post-processing Adjustment (ASTPA), which herein is integrated with and supported by gradient-based Hamiltonian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (HMCMC) methods. The developed techniques in this paper are applicable from low- to high-dimensional stochastic spaces, and the basic idea is to construct a relevant target distribution by weighting the original random variable space through a one-dimensional output likelihood model, using the limit-state function. To sample from this target distribution, we exploit HMCMC algorithms, a family of MCMC methods that adopts physical system dynamics, rather than solely using a proposal probability distribution, to generate distant sequential samples, and we develop a new Quasi-Newton mass preconditioned HMCMC scheme (QNp-HMCMC), which is particularly efficient and suitable for high-dimensional spaces. To eventually compute the rare event probability, an original post-sampling step is devised using an inverse importance sampling procedure based on the already obtained samples. The statistical properties of the estimator are analyzed as well, and the performance of the proposed methodology is examined in detail and compared against Subset Simulation in a series of challenging low- and high-dimensional problems.

Along with the massive growth of the Internet from the 1990s until now, various innovative technologies have been created to bring users breathtaking experiences with more virtual interactions in cyberspace. Many virtual environments with thousands of services and applications, from social networks to virtual gaming worlds, have been developed with immersive experience and digital transformation, but most are incoherent instead of being integrated into a platform. In this context, metaverse, a term formed by combining meta and universe, has been introduced as a shared virtual world that is fueled by many emerging technologies, such as fifth-generation networks and beyond, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence (AI). Among such technologies, AI has shown the great importance of processing big data to enhance immersive experience and enable human-like intelligence of virtual agents. In this survey, we make a beneficial effort to explore the role of AI in the foundation and development of the metaverse. We first deliver a preliminary of AI, including machine learning algorithms and deep learning architectures, and its role in the metaverse. We then convey a comprehensive investigation of AI-based methods concerning six technical aspects that have potentials for the metaverse: natural language processing, machine vision, blockchain, networking, digital twin, and neural interface, and being potential for the metaverse. Subsequently, several AI-aided applications, such as healthcare, manufacturing, smart cities, and gaming, are studied to be deployed in the virtual worlds. Finally, we conclude the key contribution of this survey and open some future research directions in AI for the metaverse.

The DARPA Lifelong Learning Machines (L2M) program seeks to yield advances in artificial intelligence (AI) systems so that they are capable of learning (and improving) continuously, leveraging data on one task to improve performance on another, and doing so in a computationally sustainable way. Performers on this program developed systems capable of performing a diverse range of functions, including autonomous driving, real-time strategy, and drone simulation. These systems featured a diverse range of characteristics (e.g., task structure, lifetime duration), and an immediate challenge faced by the program's testing and evaluation team was measuring system performance across these different settings. This document, developed in close collaboration with DARPA and the program performers, outlines a formalism for constructing and characterizing the performance of agents performing lifelong learning scenarios.

Deep Learning (DL) is the most widely used tool in the contemporary field of computer vision. Its ability to accurately solve complex problems is employed in vision research to learn deep neural models for a variety of tasks, including security critical applications. However, it is now known that DL is vulnerable to adversarial attacks that can manipulate its predictions by introducing visually imperceptible perturbations in images and videos. Since the discovery of this phenomenon in 2013~[1], it has attracted significant attention of researchers from multiple sub-fields of machine intelligence. In [2], we reviewed the contributions made by the computer vision community in adversarial attacks on deep learning (and their defenses) until the advent of year 2018. Many of those contributions have inspired new directions in this area, which has matured significantly since witnessing the first generation methods. Hence, as a legacy sequel of [2], this literature review focuses on the advances in this area since 2018. To ensure authenticity, we mainly consider peer-reviewed contributions published in the prestigious sources of computer vision and machine learning research. Besides a comprehensive literature review, the article also provides concise definitions of technical terminologies for non-experts in this domain. Finally, this article discusses challenges and future outlook of this direction based on the literature reviewed herein and [2].

The area of Data Analytics on graphs promises a paradigm shift as we approach information processing of classes of data, which are typically acquired on irregular but structured domains (social networks, various ad-hoc sensor networks). Yet, despite its long history, current approaches mostly focus on the optimization of graphs themselves, rather than on directly inferring learning strategies, such as detection, estimation, statistical and probabilistic inference, clustering and separation from signals and data acquired on graphs. To fill this void, we first revisit graph topologies from a Data Analytics point of view, and establish a taxonomy of graph networks through a linear algebraic formalism of graph topology (vertices, connections, directivity). This serves as a basis for spectral analysis of graphs, whereby the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of graph Laplacian and adjacency matrices are shown to convey physical meaning related to both graph topology and higher-order graph properties, such as cuts, walks, paths, and neighborhoods. Next, to illustrate estimation strategies performed on graph signals, spectral analysis of graphs is introduced through eigenanalysis of mathematical descriptors of graphs and in a generic way. Finally, a framework for vertex clustering and graph segmentation is established based on graph spectral representation (eigenanalysis) which illustrates the power of graphs in various data association tasks. The supporting examples demonstrate the promise of Graph Data Analytics in modeling structural and functional/semantic inferences. At the same time, Part I serves as a basis for Part II and Part III which deal with theory, methods and applications of processing Data on Graphs and Graph Topology Learning from data.
