Traditional deep learning compilers rely on heuristics for subgraph generation, which impose extra constraints on graph optimization, e.g., each subgraph can only contain at most one complex operator. In this paper, we propose AGO, a framework for graph optimization with arbitrary structures to boost the inference performance of deep models by removing such constraints. To create new optimization opportunities for complicated subgraphs, we propose intensive operator fusion, which can effectively stitch multiple complex operators together for better performance. Further, we design a graph partitioning scheme that allows an arbitrary structure for each subgraph while guaranteeing the acyclic property among all generated subgraphs. Additionally, to enable efficient performance tuning on complicated subgraphs, we devise a novel divide-and-conquer tuning mechanism to orchestrate different system components. Through extensive experiments on various neural networks and mobile devices, we show that our system can improve the inference performance by up to 3.3x when compared with state-of-the-art deep compilers.

Connectivity technology has shown great potentials in improving the safety and efficiency of transportation systems by providing information beyond the perception and prediction capabilities of individual vehicles. However, it is expected that human-driven and autonomous vehicles, and connected and non-connected vehicles need to share the transportation network during the transition period to fully connected and automated transportation systems. Such mixed traffic scenarios significantly increase the complexity in analyzing system behavior and quantifying uncertainty for highly interactive scenarios, e.g., lane changing. It is even harder to ensure system safety when neural network based planners are leveraged to further improve efficiency. In this work, we propose a connectivity-enhanced neural network based lane changing planner. By cooperating with surrounding connected vehicles in dynamic environment, our proposed planner will adapt its planned trajectory according to the analysis of a safe evasion trajectory. We demonstrate the strength of our planner design in improving efficiency and ensuring safety in various mixed traffic scenarios with extensive simulations. We also analyze the system robustness when the communication or coordination is not perfect.
Deep Learning (DL) is prevalently used in various industries to improve decision-making and automate processes, driven by the ever-evolving DL libraries and compilers. The correctness of DL systems is crucial for trust in DL applications. As such, the recent wave of research has been studying the automated synthesis of test-cases (i.e., DNN models and their inputs) for fuzzing DL systems. However, existing model generators only subsume a limited number of operators, for lacking the ability to pervasively model operator constraints. To address this challenge, we propose NeuRI, a fully automated approach for generating valid and diverse DL models composed of hundreds of types of operators. NeuRI adopts a three-step process: (i) collecting valid and invalid API traces from various sources; (ii) applying inductive program synthesis over the traces to infer the constraints for constructing valid models; and (iii) performing hybrid model generation by incorporating both symbolic and concrete operators concolically. Our evaluation shows that NeuRI improves branch coverage of TensorFlow and PyTorch by 51% and 15% over the state-of-the-art. Within four months, NeuRI finds 87 new bugs for PyTorch and TensorFlow, with 64 already fixed or confirmed, and 8 high-priority bugs labeled by PyTorch, constituting 10% of all high-priority bugs of the period. Additionally, open-source developers regard error-inducing models reported by us as "high-quality" and "common in practice".
Procedural content generation (PCG) is a growing field, with numerous applications in the video game industry, and great potential to help create better games at a fraction of the cost of manual creation. However, much of the work in PCG is focused on generating relatively straightforward levels in simple games, as it is challenging to design an optimisable objective function for complex settings. This limits the applicability of PCG to more complex and modern titles, hindering its adoption in industry. Our work aims to address this limitation by introducing a compositional level generation method, which recursively composes simple, low-level generators together to construct large and complex creations. This approach allows for easily-optimisable objectives and the ability to design a complex structure in an interpretable way by referencing lower-level components. We empirically demonstrate that our method outperforms a non-compositional baseline by more accurately satisfying a designer's functional requirements in several tasks. Finally, we provide a qualitative showcase (in Minecraft) illustrating the large and complex, but still coherent, structures that were generated using simple base generators.
Simplicity bias is the concerning tendency of deep networks to over-depend on simple, weakly predictive features, to the exclusion of stronger, more complex features. This causes biased, incorrect model predictions in many real-world applications, exacerbated by incomplete training data containing spurious feature-label correlations. We propose a direct, interventional method for addressing simplicity bias in DNNs, which we call the feature sieve. We aim to automatically identify and suppress easily-computable spurious features in lower layers of the network, thereby allowing the higher network levels to extract and utilize richer, more meaningful representations. We provide concrete evidence of this differential suppression & enhancement of relevant features on both controlled datasets and real-world images, and report substantial gains on many real-world debiasing benchmarks (11.4% relative gain on Imagenet-A; 3.2% on BAR, etc). Crucially, we outperform many baselines that incorporate knowledge about known spurious or biased attributes, despite our method not using any such information. We believe that our feature sieve work opens up exciting new research directions in automated adversarial feature extraction & representation learning for deep networks.
Explainable AI offers insights into what factors drive a certain prediction of a black-box AI system. One popular interpreting approach is through counterfactual explanations, which go beyond why a system arrives at a certain decision to further provide suggestions on what a user can do to alter the original outcome. A counterfactual example must possess plenty of desiderata. These constraints exist at trade-offs between one and another presenting radical challenges to existing works. We here propose a stochastic learning-based framework that effectively balances the counterfactual trade-offs. The framework consists of a generation and a feature selection module with complementary roles: the former aims to model the distribution of valid counterfactuals whereas the latter serves to enforce additional constraints in a way that allows for differentiable training and amortized optimization. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method in generating actionable and plausible counterfactuals that are more diverse than the existing methods and particularly more efficient than closest baselines.
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have been successfully used in many problems involving graph-structured data, achieving state-of-the-art performance. GNNs typically employ a message-passing scheme, in which every node aggregates information from its neighbors using a permutation-invariant aggregation function. Standard well-examined choices such as the mean or sum aggregation functions have limited capabilities, as they are not able to capture interactions among neighbors. In this work, we formalize these interactions using an information-theoretic framework that notably includes synergistic information. Driven by this definition, we introduce the Graph Ordering Attention (GOAT) layer, a novel GNN component that captures interactions between nodes in a neighborhood. This is achieved by learning local node orderings via an attention mechanism and processing the ordered representations using a recurrent neural network aggregator. This design allows us to make use of a permutation-sensitive aggregator while maintaining the permutation-equivariance of the proposed GOAT layer. The GOAT model demonstrates its increased performance in modeling graph metrics that capture complex information, such as the betweenness centrality and the effective size of a node. In practical use-cases, its superior modeling capability is confirmed through its success in several real-world node classification benchmarks.
Recently, graph neural networks (GNNs) have been widely used for document classification. However, most existing methods are based on static word co-occurrence graphs without sentence-level information, which poses three challenges:(1) word ambiguity, (2) word synonymity, and (3) dynamic contextual dependency. To address these challenges, we propose a novel GNN-based sparse structure learning model for inductive document classification. Specifically, a document-level graph is initially generated by a disjoint union of sentence-level word co-occurrence graphs. Our model collects a set of trainable edges connecting disjoint words between sentences and employs structure learning to sparsely select edges with dynamic contextual dependencies. Graphs with sparse structures can jointly exploit local and global contextual information in documents through GNNs. For inductive learning, the refined document graph is further fed into a general readout function for graph-level classification and optimization in an end-to-end manner. Extensive experiments on several real-world datasets demonstrate that the proposed model outperforms most state-of-the-art results, and reveal the necessity to learn sparse structures for each document.
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have received considerable attention on graph-structured data learning for a wide variety of tasks. The well-designed propagation mechanism which has been demonstrated effective is the most fundamental part of GNNs. Although most of GNNs basically follow a message passing manner, litter effort has been made to discover and analyze their essential relations. In this paper, we establish a surprising connection between different propagation mechanisms with a unified optimization problem, showing that despite the proliferation of various GNNs, in fact, their proposed propagation mechanisms are the optimal solution optimizing a feature fitting function over a wide class of graph kernels with a graph regularization term. Our proposed unified optimization framework, summarizing the commonalities between several of the most representative GNNs, not only provides a macroscopic view on surveying the relations between different GNNs, but also further opens up new opportunities for flexibly designing new GNNs. With the proposed framework, we discover that existing works usually utilize naive graph convolutional kernels for feature fitting function, and we further develop two novel objective functions considering adjustable graph kernels showing low-pass or high-pass filtering capabilities respectively. Moreover, we provide the convergence proofs and expressive power comparisons for the proposed models. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets clearly show that the proposed GNNs not only outperform the state-of-the-art methods but also have good ability to alleviate over-smoothing, and further verify the feasibility for designing GNNs with our unified optimization framework.
Catastrophic forgetting refers to the tendency that a neural network "forgets" the previous learned knowledge upon learning new tasks. Prior methods have been focused on overcoming this problem on convolutional neural networks (CNNs), where the input samples like images lie in a grid domain, but have largely overlooked graph neural networks (GNNs) that handle non-grid data. In this paper, we propose a novel scheme dedicated to overcoming catastrophic forgetting problem and hence strengthen continual learning in GNNs. At the heart of our approach is a generic module, termed as topology-aware weight preserving~(TWP), applicable to arbitrary form of GNNs in a plug-and-play fashion. Unlike the main stream of CNN-based continual learning methods that rely on solely slowing down the updates of parameters important to the downstream task, TWP explicitly explores the local structures of the input graph, and attempts to stabilize the parameters playing pivotal roles in the topological aggregation. We evaluate TWP on different GNN backbones over several datasets, and demonstrate that it yields performances superior to the state of the art.

Deep learning models on graphs have achieved remarkable performance in various graph analysis tasks, e.g., node classification, link prediction and graph clustering. However, they expose uncertainty and unreliability against the well-designed inputs, i.e., adversarial examples. Accordingly, various studies have emerged for both attack and defense addressed in different graph analysis tasks, leading to the arms race in graph adversarial learning. For instance, the attacker has poisoning and evasion attack, and the defense group correspondingly has preprocessing- and adversarial- based methods. Despite the booming works, there still lacks a unified problem definition and a comprehensive review. To bridge this gap, we investigate and summarize the existing works on graph adversarial learning tasks systemically. Specifically, we survey and unify the existing works w.r.t. attack and defense in graph analysis tasks, and give proper definitions and taxonomies at the same time. Besides, we emphasize the importance of related evaluation metrics, and investigate and summarize them comprehensively. Hopefully, our works can serve as a reference for the relevant researchers, thus providing assistance for their studies.
