A Particle Swarm Optimizer for the search of balanced Boolean functions with good cryptographic properties is proposed in this paper. The algorithm is a modified version of the permutation PSO by Hu, Eberhart and Shi which preserves the Hamming weight of the particles positions, coupled with the Hill Climbing method devised by Millan, Clark and Dawson to improve the nonlinearity and deviation from correlation immunity of Boolean functions. The parameters for the PSO velocity equation are tuned by means of two meta-optimization techniques, namely Local Unimodal Sampling (LUS) and Continuous Genetic Algorithms (CGA), finding that CGA produces better results. Using the CGA-evolved parameters, the PSO algorithm is then run on the spaces of Boolean functions from $n=7$ to $n=12$ variables. The results of the experiments are reported, observing that this new PSO algorithm generates Boolean functions featuring similar or better combinations of nonlinearity, correlation immunity and propagation criterion with respect to the ones obtained by other optimization methods.

Distance measures between graphs are important primitives for a variety of learning tasks. In this work, we describe an unsupervised, optimal transport based approach to define a distance between graphs. Our idea is to derive representations of graphs as Gaussian mixture models, fitted to distributions of sampled node embeddings over the same space. The Wasserstein distance between these Gaussian mixture distributions then yields an interpretable and easily computable distance measure, which can further be tailored for the comparison at hand by choosing appropriate embeddings. We propose two embeddings for this framework and show that under certain assumptions about the shape of the resulting Gaussian mixture components, further computational improvements of this Wasserstein distance can be achieved. An empirical validation of our findings on synthetic data and real-world Functional Brain Connectivity networks shows promising performance compared to existing embedding methods.

The Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) is a decentralized paradigm enabling full control over the data used to build and prove the identity. In Internet of Things networks with security requirements, the Self-Sovereign Identity can play a key role and bring benefits with respect to centralized identity solutions. The challenge is to make the SSI compatible with resource-constraint IoT networks. In line with this objective, the paper proposes and discusses an alternative (mutual) authentication process for IoT nodes under the same administration domain. The main idea is to combine the Decentralized IDentifier (DID)-based verification of private key ownership with the verification of a proof that the DID belongs to an evolving trusted set. The solution is built around the proof of membership notion. The paper analyzes two membership solutions, a novel solution designed by the Authors based on Merkle trees and a second one based on the adaptation of Boneh, Boyen and Shacham (BBS) group signature scheme. The paper concludes with a performance estimation and a comparative analysis.

Recently, there has been a growing interest in learning and explaining causal effects within Neural Network (NN) models. By virtue of NN architectures, previous approaches consider only direct and total causal effects assuming independence among input variables. We view an NN as a structural causal model (SCM) and extend our focus to include indirect causal effects by introducing feedforward connections among input neurons. We propose an ante-hoc method that captures and maintains direct, indirect, and total causal effects during NN model training. We also propose an algorithm for quantifying learned causal effects in an NN model and efficient approximation strategies for quantifying causal effects in high-dimensional data. Extensive experiments conducted on synthetic and real-world datasets demonstrate that the causal effects learned by our ante-hoc method better approximate the ground truth effects compared to existing methods.

In this work, we study the convergence of Hermitian Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) to the spectral properties of self-adjoint Koopman operators. Hermitian DMD is a data-driven method for approximating the Koopman operator associated with an unknown nonlinear dynamical system from discrete-time snapshots, while preserving the self-adjointness of the operator on its finite-dimensional approximations. We show that, under suitable conditions, the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of HDMD converge to the spectral properties of the underlying Koopman operator. Along the way, we establish a general theorem on the convergence of spectral measures, and demonstrate our results numerically on the two-dimensional Schr\"odinger equation.

The purpose of this work is to provide some notes on a software implementation for digital filtering via Tustins Bilinear Transform. The first section discusses how to solve for the input and output coefficients by hand using a generalized approach called Horners method. The second section presents some results of this generalized digital filtering approach using the IHMC Open Robotics Software stack and Simulation Construction Set 2. This generalized approach can solve for the digital coefficients for any causal transfer function.

We study the problem of exact community recovery in the Geometric Stochastic Block Model (GSBM), where each vertex has an unknown community label as well as a known position, generated according to a Poisson point process in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Edges are formed independently conditioned on the community labels and positions, where vertices may only be connected by an edge if they are within a prescribed distance of each other. The GSBM thus favors the formation of dense local subgraphs, which commonly occur in real-world networks, a property that makes the GSBM qualitatively very different from the standard Stochastic Block Model (SBM). We propose a linear-time algorithm for exact community recovery, which succeeds down to the information-theoretic threshold, confirming a conjecture of Abbe, Baccelli, and Sankararaman. The algorithm involves two phases. The first phase exploits the density of local subgraphs to propagate estimated community labels among sufficiently occupied subregions, and produces an almost-exact vertex labeling. The second phase then refines the initial labels using a Poisson testing procedure. Thus, the GSBM enjoys local to global amplification just as the SBM, with the advantage of admitting an information-theoretically optimal, linear-time algorithm.

We conducted a large-scale subjective study of the perceptual quality of User-Generated Mobile Video Content on a set of mobile-originated videos obtained from the Indian social media platform ShareChat. The content viewed by volunteer human subjects under controlled laboratory conditions has the benefit of culturally diversifying the existing corpus of User-Generated Content (UGC) video quality datasets. There is a great need for large and diverse UGC-VQA datasets, given the explosive global growth of the visual internet and social media platforms. This is particularly true in regard to videos obtained by smartphones, especially in rapidly emerging economies like India. ShareChat provides a safe and cultural community oriented space for users to generate and share content in their preferred Indian languages and dialects. Our subjective quality study, which is based on this data, offers a boost of cultural, visual, and language diversification to the video quality research community. We expect that this new data resource will also allow for the development of systems that can predict the perceived visual quality of Indian social media videos, to control scaling and compression protocols for streaming, provide better user recommendations, and guide content analysis and processing. We demonstrate the value of the new data resource by conducting a study of leading blind video quality models on it, including a new model, called MoEVA, which deploys a mixture of experts to predict video quality. Both the new LIVE-ShareChat dataset and sample source code for MoEVA are being made freely available to the research community at //github.com/sandeep-sm/LIVE-SC

Deep neural networks (DNNs) are successful in many computer vision tasks. However, the most accurate DNNs require millions of parameters and operations, making them energy, computation and memory intensive. This impedes the deployment of large DNNs in low-power devices with limited compute resources. Recent research improves DNN models by reducing the memory requirement, energy consumption, and number of operations without significantly decreasing the accuracy. This paper surveys the progress of low-power deep learning and computer vision, specifically in regards to inference, and discusses the methods for compacting and accelerating DNN models. The techniques can be divided into four major categories: (1) parameter quantization and pruning, (2) compressed convolutional filters and matrix factorization, (3) network architecture search, and (4) knowledge distillation. We analyze the accuracy, advantages, disadvantages, and potential solutions to the problems with the techniques in each category. We also discuss new evaluation metrics as a guideline for future research.

Machine learning techniques have deeply rooted in our everyday life. However, since it is knowledge- and labor-intensive to pursue good learning performance, human experts are heavily involved in every aspect of machine learning. In order to make machine learning techniques easier to apply and reduce the demand for experienced human experts, automated machine learning (AutoML) has emerged as a hot topic with both industrial and academic interest. In this paper, we provide an up to date survey on AutoML. First, we introduce and define the AutoML problem, with inspiration from both realms of automation and machine learning. Then, we propose a general AutoML framework that not only covers most existing approaches to date but also can guide the design for new methods. Subsequently, we categorize and review the existing works from two aspects, i.e., the problem setup and the employed techniques. Finally, we provide a detailed analysis of AutoML approaches and explain the reasons underneath their successful applications. We hope this survey can serve as not only an insightful guideline for AutoML beginners but also an inspiration for future research.
