Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have shown immense potential in fields such as text and image generation. Only very recently attempts to exploit GANs to statistical-mechanics models have been reported. Here we quantitatively test this approach by applying it to a prototypical stochastic process on a lattice. By suitably adding noise to the original data we succeed in bringing both the Generator and the Discriminator loss functions close to their ideal value. Importantly, the discreteness of the model is retained despite the noise. As typical for adversarial approaches, oscillations around the convergence limit persist also at large epochs. This undermines model selection and the quality of the generated trajectories. We demonstrate that a simple multi-model procedure where stochastic trajectories are advanced at each step upon randomly selecting a Generator leads to a remarkable increase in accuracy. This is illustrated by quantitative analysis of both the predicted equilibrium probability distribution and of the escape-time distribution. Based on the reported findings, we believe that GANs are a promising tool to tackle complex statistical dynamics by machine learning techniques

Thanks to their dependency structure, non-parametric Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) are able to handle model-based clustering without specifying group distributions. The aim of this work is to study the Bayes risk of clustering when using HMMs and to propose associated clustering procedures. We first give a result linking the Bayes risk of classification and the Bayes risk of clustering, which we use to identify the key quantity determining the difficulty of the clustering task. We also give a proof of this result in the i.i.d. framework, which might be of independent interest. Then we study the excess risk of the plugin classifier. All these results are shown to remain valid in the online setting where observations are clustered sequentially. Simulations illustrate our findings.
Although Large Language Models (LLMs) represent a revolution in the way we interact with computers, allowing the construction of complex questions and the ability to reason over a sequence of statements, their use is restricted due to the need for dedicated hardware for execution. In this study, we evaluate the performance of LLMs based on the 7 and 13 billion LLaMA models, subjected to a quantization process and run on home hardware. The models considered were Alpaca, Koala, and Vicuna. To evaluate the effectiveness of these models, we developed a database containing 1,006 questions from the ENEM (Brazilian National Secondary School Exam). Our analysis revealed that the best performing models achieved an accuracy of approximately 46% for the original texts of the Portuguese questions and 49% on their English translations. In addition, we evaluated the computational efficiency of the models by measuring the time required for execution. On average, the 7 and 13 billion LLMs took approximately 20 and 50 seconds, respectively, to process the queries on a machine equipped with an AMD Ryzen 5 3600x processor
ASR systems have become increasingly widespread in recent years. However, their textual outputs often require post-processing tasks before they can be practically utilized. To address this issue, we draw inspiration from the multifaceted capabilities of LLMs and Whisper, and focus on integrating multiple ASR text processing tasks related to speech recognition into the ASR model. This integration not only shortens the multi-stage pipeline, but also prevents the propagation of cascading errors, resulting in direct generation of post-processed text. In this study, we focus on ASR-related processing tasks, including Contextual ASR and multiple ASR post processing tasks. To achieve this objective, we introduce the CPPF model, which offers a versatile and highly effective alternative to ASR processing. CPPF seamlessly integrates these tasks without any significant loss in recognition performance.
Arbitrary Pattern Formation (APF) is a fundamental coordination problem in swarm robotics. It requires a set of autonomous robots (mobile computing units) to form any arbitrary pattern (given as input) starting from any initial pattern. The APF problem is well-studied in both continuous and discrete settings. This work concerns the discrete version of the problem. A set of robots is placed on the nodes of an infinite rectangular grid graph embedded in a euclidean plane. The movements of the robots are restricted to one of the four neighboring grid nodes from its current position. The robots are autonomous, anonymous, identical, and homogeneous, and operate Look-Compute-Move cycles. Here we have considered the classical $\mathcal{OBLOT}$ robot model, i.e., the robots have no persistent memory and no explicit means of communication. The robots have full unobstructed visibility. This work proposes an algorithm that solves the APF problem in a fully asynchronous scheduler under this setting assuming the initial configuration is asymmetric. The considered performance measures of the algorithm are space and number of moves required for the robots. The algorithm is asymptotically move-optimal. A definition of the space-complexity is presented here. We observe an obvious lower bound $\mathcal{D}$ of the space complexity and show that the proposed algorithm has the space complexity $\mathcal{D}+4$. On comparing with previous related works, we show that this is the first proposed algorithm considering $\mathcal{OBLOT}$ robot model that is asymptotically move-optimal and has the least space complexity which is almost optimal.
In the last ongoing years, there has been a significant ascending on the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) for performing multiple tasks including English Language Teaching (ELT). An effective strategy to favor the learning process uses interactive devices to engage learners in their self-learning process. In this work, we present a working prototype of a humanoid robotic system to assist English language self-learners through text generation using Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) Neural Networks. The learners interact with the system using a Graphic User Interface that generates text according to the English level of the user. The experimentation was conducted using English learners and the results were measured accordingly to International English Language Testing System (IELTS) rubric. Preliminary results show an increment in the Grammatical Range of learners who interacted with the system.
Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) enables the processing of encrypted data without decrypting it. FHE has garnered significant attention over the past decade as it supports secure outsourcing of data processing to remote cloud services. Despite its promise of strong data privacy and security guarantees, FHE introduces a slowdown of up to five orders of magnitude as compared to the same computation using plaintext data. This overhead is presently a major barrier to the commercial adoption of FHE. In this work, we leverage GPUs to accelerate FHE, capitalizing on a well-established GPU ecosystem available in the cloud. We propose GME, which combines three key microarchitectural extensions along with a compile-time optimization to the current AMD CDNA GPU architecture. First, GME integrates a lightweight on-chip compute unit (CU)-side hierarchical interconnect to retain ciphertext in cache across FHE kernels, thus eliminating redundant memory transactions. Second, to tackle compute bottlenecks, GME introduces special MOD-units that provide native custom hardware support for modular reduction operations, one of the most commonly executed sets of operations in FHE. Third, by integrating the MOD-unit with our novel pipelined $64$-bit integer arithmetic cores (WMAC-units), GME further accelerates FHE workloads by $19\%$. Finally, we propose a Locality-Aware Block Scheduler (LABS) that exploits the temporal locality available in FHE primitive blocks. Incorporating these microarchitectural features and compiler optimizations, we create a synergistic approach achieving average speedups of $796\times$, $14.2\times$, and $2.3\times$ over Intel Xeon CPU, NVIDIA V100 GPU, and Xilinx FPGA implementations, respectively.
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are state-of-the-art models for performing prediction tasks on graphs. While existing GNNs have shown great performance on various tasks related to graphs, little attention has been paid to the scenario where out-of-distribution (OOD) nodes exist in the graph during training and inference. Borrowing the concept from CV and NLP, we define OOD nodes as nodes with labels unseen from the training set. Since a lot of networks are automatically constructed by programs, real-world graphs are often noisy and may contain nodes from unknown distributions. In this work, we define the problem of graph learning with out-of-distribution nodes. Specifically, we aim to accomplish two tasks: 1) detect nodes which do not belong to the known distribution and 2) classify the remaining nodes to be one of the known classes. We demonstrate that the connection patterns in graphs are informative for outlier detection, and propose Out-of-Distribution Graph Attention Network (OODGAT), a novel GNN model which explicitly models the interaction between different kinds of nodes and separate inliers from outliers during feature propagation. Extensive experiments show that OODGAT outperforms existing outlier detection methods by a large margin, while being better or comparable in terms of in-distribution classification.
We present ResMLP, an architecture built entirely upon multi-layer perceptrons for image classification. It is a simple residual network that alternates (i) a linear layer in which image patches interact, independently and identically across channels, and (ii) a two-layer feed-forward network in which channels interact independently per patch. When trained with a modern training strategy using heavy data-augmentation and optionally distillation, it attains surprisingly good accuracy/complexity trade-offs on ImageNet. We will share our code based on the Timm library and pre-trained models.
In Multi-Label Text Classification (MLTC), one sample can belong to more than one class. It is observed that most MLTC tasks, there are dependencies or correlations among labels. Existing methods tend to ignore the relationship among labels. In this paper, a graph attention network-based model is proposed to capture the attentive dependency structure among the labels. The graph attention network uses a feature matrix and a correlation matrix to capture and explore the crucial dependencies between the labels and generate classifiers for the task. The generated classifiers are applied to sentence feature vectors obtained from the text feature extraction network (BiLSTM) to enable end-to-end training. Attention allows the system to assign different weights to neighbor nodes per label, thus allowing it to learn the dependencies among labels implicitly. The results of the proposed model are validated on five real-world MLTC datasets. The proposed model achieves similar or better performance compared to the previous state-of-the-art models.
Recommender systems are widely used in big information-based companies such as Google, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Netflix. A recommender system deals with the problem of information overload by filtering important information fragments according to users' preferences. In light of the increasing success of deep learning, recent studies have proved the benefits of using deep learning in various recommendation tasks. However, most proposed techniques only aim to target individuals, which cannot be efficiently applied in group recommendation. In this paper, we propose a deep learning architecture to solve the group recommendation problem. On the one hand, as different individual preferences in a group necessitate preference trade-offs in making group recommendations, it is essential that the recommendation model can discover substitutes among user behaviors. On the other hand, it has been observed that a user as an individual and as a group member behaves differently. To tackle such problems, we propose using an attention mechanism to capture the impact of each user in a group. Specifically, our model automatically learns the influence weight of each user in a group and recommends items to the group based on its members' weighted preferences. We conduct extensive experiments on four datasets. Our model significantly outperforms baseline methods and shows promising results in applying deep learning to the group recommendation problem.
