Collective perception is a foundational problem in swarm robotics, in which the swarm must reach consensus on a coherent representation of the environment. An important variant of collective perception casts it as a best-of-$n$ decision-making process, in which the swarm must identify the most likely representation out of a set of alternatives. Past work on this variant primarily focused on characterizing how different algorithms navigate the speed-vs-accuracy tradeoff in a scenario where the swarm must decide on the most frequent environmental feature. Crucially, past work on best-of-$n$ decision-making assumes the robot sensors to be perfect (noise- and fault-less), limiting the real-world applicability of these algorithms. In this paper, we derive from first principles an optimal, probabilistic framework for minimalistic swarm robots equipped with flawed sensors. Then, we validate our approach in a scenario where the swarm collectively decides the frequency of a certain environmental feature. We study the speed and accuracy of the decision-making process with respect to several parameters of interest. Our approach can provide timely and accurate frequency estimates even in presence of severe sensory noise.

Discontinuous motion which is a motion composed of multiple continuous motions with sudden change in direction or velocity in between, can be seen in state-aware robotic tasks. Such robotic tasks are often coordinated with sensor information such as image. In recent years, Dynamic Movement Primitives (DMP) which is a method for generating motor behaviors suitable for robotics has garnered several deep learning based improvements to allow associations between sensor information and DMP parameters. While the implementation of deep learning framework does improve upon DMP's inability to directly associate to an input, we found that it has difficulty learning DMP parameters for complex motion which requires large number of basis functions to reconstruct. In this paper we propose a novel deep learning network architecture called Deep Segmented DMP Network (DSDNet) which generates variable-length segmented motion by utilizing the combination of multiple DMP parameters predicting network architecture, double-stage decoder network, and number of segments predictor. The proposed method is evaluated on both artificial data (object cutting & pick-and-place) and real data (object cutting) where our proposed method could achieve high generalization capability, task-achievement, and data-efficiency compared to previous method on generating discontinuous long-horizon motions.

Sublinear time complexity is required by the massively parallel computation (MPC) model. Breaking dynamic programs into a set of sparse dynamic programs that can be divided, solved, and merged in sublinear time. The rectangle escape problem (REP) is defined as follows: For $n$ axis-aligned rectangles inside an axis-aligned bounding box $B$, extend each rectangle in only one of the four directions: up, down, left, or right until it reaches $B$ and the density $k$ is minimized, where $k$ is the maximum number of extensions of rectangles to the boundary that pass through a point inside bounding box $B$. REP is NP-hard for $k>1$. If the rectangles are points of a grid (or unit squares of a grid), the problem is called the square escape problem (SEP) and it is still NP-hard. We give a $2$-approximation algorithm for SEP with $k\geq2$ with time complexity $O(n^{3/2}k^2)$. This improves the time complexity of existing algorithms which are at least quadratic. Also, the approximation ratio of our algorithm for $k\geq 3$ is $3/2$ which is tight. We also give a $8$-approximation algorithm for REP with time complexity $O(n\log n+nk)$ and give a MPC version of this algorithm for $k=O(1)$ which is the first parallel algorithm for this problem.

The Fourier neural operator (FNO) is a powerful technique for learning surrogate maps for partial differential equation (PDE) solution operators. For many real-world applications, which often require high-resolution data points, training time and memory usage are significant bottlenecks. While there are mixed-precision training techniques for standard neural networks, those work for real-valued datatypes on finite dimensions and therefore cannot be directly applied to FNO, which crucially operates in the (complex-valued) Fourier domain and in function spaces. On the other hand, since the Fourier transform is already an approximation (due to discretization error), we do not need to perform the operation at full precision. In this work, we (i) profile memory and runtime for FNO with full and mixed-precision training, (ii) conduct a study on the numerical stability of mixed-precision training of FNO, and (iii) devise a training routine which substantially decreases training time and memory usage (up to 34%), with little or no reduction in accuracy, on the Navier-Stokes and Darcy flow equations. Combined with the recently proposed tensorized FNO (Kossaifi et al., 2023), the resulting model has far better performance while also being significantly faster than the original FNO.

Unsupervised hashing methods typically aim to preserve the similarity between data points in a feature space by mapping them to binary hash codes. However, these methods often overlook the fact that the similarity between data points in the continuous feature space may not be preserved in the discrete hash code space, due to the limited similarity range of hash codes. The similarity range is bounded by the code length and can lead to a problem known as similarity collapse. That is, the positive and negative pairs of data points become less distinguishable from each other in the hash space. To alleviate this problem, in this paper a novel Similarity Distribution Calibration (SDC) method is introduced. SDC aligns the hash code similarity distribution towards a calibration distribution (e.g., beta distribution) with sufficient spread across the entire similarity range, thus alleviating the similarity collapse problem. Extensive experiments show that our SDC outperforms significantly the state-of-the-art alternatives on coarse category-level and instance-level image retrieval.

We present a linear algebra formulation of backpropagation which allows the calculation of gradients by using a generically written ``backslash'' or Gaussian elimination on triangular systems of equations. Generally, the matrix elements are operators. This paper has three contributions: (i) it is of intellectual value to replace traditional treatments of automatic differentiation with a (left acting) operator theoretic, graph-based approach; (ii) operators can be readily placed in matrices in software in programming languages such as Julia as an implementation option; (iii) we introduce a novel notation, ``transpose dot'' operator ``$\{\}^{T_\bullet}$'' that allows for the reversal of operators. We further demonstrate the elegance of the operators approach in a suitable programming language consisting of generic linear algebra operators such as Julia \cite{bezanson2017julia}, and that it is possible to realize this abstraction in code. Our implementation shows how generic linear algebra can allow operators as elements of matrices. In contrast to ``operator overloading,'' where backslash would normally have to be rewritten to take advantage of operators, with ``generic programming'' there is no such need.

We describe a three precision variant of Newton's method for nonlinear equations. We evaluate the nonlinear residual in double precision, store the Jacobian matrix in single precision, and solve the equation for the Newton step with iterative refinement with a factorization in half precision. We analyze the method as an inexact Newton method. This analysis shows that, except for very poorly conditioned Jacobians, the number of nonlinear iterations needed is the same that one would get if one stored and factored the Jacobian in double precision. In many ill-conditioned cases one can use the low precision factorization as a preconditioner for a GMRES iteration. That approach can recover fast convergence of the nonlinear iteration. We present an example to illustrate the results.

One approach to explaining the hierarchical levels of understanding within a machine learning model is the symbolic method of inductive logic programming (ILP), which is data efficient and capable of learning first-order logic rules that can entail data behaviour. A differentiable extension to ILP, so-called differentiable Neural Logic (dNL) networks, are able to learn Boolean functions as their neural architecture includes symbolic reasoning. We propose an application of dNL in the field of Relational Reinforcement Learning (RRL) to address dynamic continuous environments. This represents an extension of previous work in applying dNL-based ILP in RRL settings, as our proposed model updates the architecture to enable it to solve problems in continuous RL environments. The goal of this research is to improve upon current ILP methods for use in RRL by incorporating non-linear continuous predicates, allowing RRL agents to reason and make decisions in dynamic and continuous environments.

It is important to detect anomalous inputs when deploying machine learning systems. The use of larger and more complex inputs in deep learning magnifies the difficulty of distinguishing between anomalous and in-distribution examples. At the same time, diverse image and text data are available in enormous quantities. We propose leveraging these data to improve deep anomaly detection by training anomaly detectors against an auxiliary dataset of outliers, an approach we call Outlier Exposure (OE). This enables anomaly detectors to generalize and detect unseen anomalies. In extensive experiments on natural language processing and small- and large-scale vision tasks, we find that Outlier Exposure significantly improves detection performance. We also observe that cutting-edge generative models trained on CIFAR-10 may assign higher likelihoods to SVHN images than to CIFAR-10 images; we use OE to mitigate this issue. We also analyze the flexibility and robustness of Outlier Exposure, and identify characteristics of the auxiliary dataset that improve performance.

Multimodal sentiment analysis is a very actively growing field of research. A promising area of opportunity in this field is to improve the multimodal fusion mechanism. We present a novel feature fusion strategy that proceeds in a hierarchical fashion, first fusing the modalities two in two and only then fusing all three modalities. On multimodal sentiment analysis of individual utterances, our strategy outperforms conventional concatenation of features by 1%, which amounts to 5% reduction in error rate. On utterance-level multimodal sentiment analysis of multi-utterance video clips, for which current state-of-the-art techniques incorporate contextual information from other utterances of the same clip, our hierarchical fusion gives up to 2.4% (almost 10% error rate reduction) over currently used concatenation. The implementation of our method is publicly available in the form of open-source code.
