This paper introduces a novel formulation of the clustering problem, namely the Minimum Sum-of-Squares Clustering of Infinitely Tall Data (MSSC-ITD), and presents HPClust, an innovative set of hybrid parallel approaches for its effective solution. By utilizing modern high-performance computing techniques, HPClust enhances key clustering metrics: effectiveness, computational efficiency, and scalability. In contrast to vanilla data parallelism, which only accelerates processing time through the MapReduce framework, our approach unlocks superior performance by leveraging the multi-strategy competitive-cooperative parallelism and intricate properties of the objective function landscape. Unlike other available algorithms that struggle to scale, our algorithm is inherently parallel in nature, improving solution quality through increased scalability and parallelism, and outperforming even advanced algorithms designed for small and medium-sized datasets. Our evaluation of HPClust, featuring four parallel strategies, demonstrates its superiority over traditional and cutting-edge methods by offering better performance in the key metrics. These results also show that parallel processing not only enhances the clustering efficiency, but the accuracy as well. Additionally, we explore the balance between computational efficiency and clustering quality, providing insights into optimal parallel strategies based on dataset specifics and resource availability. This research advances our understanding of parallelism in clustering algorithms, demonstrating that a judicious hybridization of advanced parallel approaches yields optimal results for MSSC-ITD. Experiments on synthetic data further confirm HPClust's exceptional scalability and robustness to noise.

We present a matrix-free multigrid method for high-order discontinuous Galerkin (DG) finite element methods with GPU acceleration. A performance analysis is conducted, comparing various data and compute layouts. Smoother implementations are optimized through localization and fast diagonalization techniques. Leveraging conflict-free access patterns in shared memory, arithmetic throughput of up to 39% of the peak performance on Nvidia A100 GPUs are achieved. Experimental results affirm the effectiveness of mixed-precision approaches and MPI parallelization in accelerating algorithms. Furthermore, an assessment of solver efficiency and robustness is provided across both two and three dimensions, with applications to Poisson problems.

With the advancement of diffusion models (DMs) and the substantially increased computational requirements, quantization emerges as a practical solution to obtain compact and efficient low-bit DMs. However, the highly discrete representation leads to severe accuracy degradation, hindering the quantization of diffusion models to ultra-low bit-widths. This paper proposes a novel quantization-aware training approach for DMs, namely BinaryDM. The proposed method pushes DMs' weights toward accurate and efficient binarization, considering the representation and computation properties. From the representation perspective, we present a Learnable Multi-basis Binarizer (LMB) to recover the representations generated by the binarized DM. The LMB enhances detailed information through the flexible combination of dual binary bases while applying to parameter-sparse locations of DM architectures to achieve minor burdens. From the optimization perspective, a Low-rank Representation Mimicking (LRM) is applied to assist the optimization of binarized DMs. The LRM mimics the representations of full-precision DMs in low-rank space, alleviating the direction ambiguity of the optimization process caused by fine-grained alignment. Moreover, a quick progressive warm-up is applied to BinaryDM, avoiding convergence difficulties by layerwisely progressive quantization at the beginning of training. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that BinaryDM achieves significant accuracy and efficiency gains compared to SOTA quantization methods of DMs under ultra-low bit-widths. With 1.1-bit weight and 4-bit activation (W1.1A4), BinaryDM achieves as low as 7.11 FID and saves the performance from collapse (baseline FID 39.69). As the first binarization method for diffusion models, W1.1A4 BinaryDM achieves impressive 9.3 times OPs and 24.8 times model size savings, showcasing its substantial potential for edge deployment.

This work uniquely identifies and characterizes four prevalent multimodal model architectural patterns in the contemporary multimodal landscape. Systematically categorizing models by architecture type facilitates monitoring of developments in the multimodal domain. Distinct from recent survey papers that present general information on multimodal architectures, this research conducts a comprehensive exploration of architectural details and identifies four specific architectural types. The types are distinguished by their respective methodologies for integrating multimodal inputs into the deep neural network model. The first two types (Type A and B) deeply fuses multimodal inputs within the internal layers of the model, whereas the following two types (Type C and D) facilitate early fusion at the input stage. Type-A employs standard cross-attention, whereas Type-B utilizes custom-designed layers for modality fusion within the internal layers. On the other hand, Type-C utilizes modality-specific encoders, while Type-D leverages tokenizers to process the modalities at the model's input stage. The identified architecture types aid the monitoring of any-to-any multimodal model development. Notably, Type-C and Type-D are currently favored in the construction of any-to-any multimodal models. Type-C, distinguished by its non-tokenizing multimodal model architecture, is emerging as a viable alternative to Type-D, which utilizes input-tokenizing techniques. To assist in model selection, this work highlights the advantages and disadvantages of each architecture type based on data and compute requirements, architecture complexity, scalability, simplification of adding modalities, training objectives, and any-to-any multimodal generation capability.

We present PPCEF, a novel method for generating probabilistically plausible counterfactual explanations (CFs). PPCEF advances beyond existing methods by combining a probabilistic formulation that leverages the data distribution with the optimization of plausibility within a unified framework. Compared to reference approaches, our method enforces plausibility by directly optimizing the explicit density function without assuming a particular family of parametrized distributions. This ensures CFs are not only valid (i.e., achieve class change) but also align with the underlying data's probability density. For that purpose, our approach leverages normalizing flows as powerful density estimators to capture the complex high-dimensional data distribution. Furthermore, we introduce a novel loss that balances the trade-off between achieving class change and maintaining closeness to the original instance while also incorporating a probabilistic plausibility term. PPCEF's unconstrained formulation allows for efficient gradient-based optimization with batch processing, leading to orders of magnitude faster computation compared to prior methods. Moreover, the unconstrained formulation of PPCEF allows for the seamless integration of future constraints tailored to specific counterfactual properties. Finally, extensive evaluations demonstrate PPCEF's superiority in generating high-quality, probabilistically plausible counterfactual explanations in high-dimensional tabular settings. This makes PPCEF a powerful tool for not only interpreting complex machine learning models but also for improving fairness, accountability, and trust in AI systems.

We introduce a new tool, Transductive Local Complexity (TLC), designed to analyze the generalization performance of transductive learning methods and inspire the development of new algorithms in this domain. Our work extends the concept of the popular Local Rademacher Complexity (LRC) to the transductive setting, incorporating significant and novel modifications compared to the typical analysis of LRC methods in the inductive setting. While LRC has been widely used as a powerful tool for analyzing inductive models, providing sharp generalization bounds for classification and minimax rates for nonparametric regression, it remains an open question whether a localized Rademacher complexity-based tool can be developed for transductive learning. Our goal is to achieve sharp bounds for transductive learning that align with the inductive excess risk bounds established by LRC. We provide a definitive answer to this open problem with the introduction of TLC. We construct TLC by first establishing a novel and sharp concentration inequality for the supremum of a test-train empirical processes. Using a peeling strategy and a new surrogate variance operator, we derive the a novel excess risk bound in the transductive setting which is consistent with the classical LRC-based excess risk bound in the inductive setting. As an application of TLC, we employ this new tool to analyze the Transductive Kernel Learning (TKL) model, deriving sharper excess risk bounds than those provided by the current state-of-the-art under the same assumptions. Additionally, the concentration inequality for the test-train process is employed to derive a sharp concentration inequality for the general supremum of empirical processes involving random variables in the setting of uniform sampling without replacement. The sharpness of our derived bound is compared to existing concentration inequalities under the same conditions.

This paper presents a novel approach for signal reconstruction using Spiking Neural Networks (SNN) based on the principles of Cognitive Informatics and Cognitive Computing. The proposed SNN leverages the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) to represent and reconstruct arbitrary time series signals. By employing N spiking neurons, the SNN captures the frequency components of the input signal, with each neuron assigned a unique frequency. The relationship between the magnitude and phase of the spiking neurons and the DFT coefficients is explored, enabling the reconstruction of the original signal. Additionally, the paper discusses the encoding of impulse delays and the phase differences between adjacent frequency components. This research contributes to the field of signal processing and provides insights into the application of SNN for cognitive signal analysis and reconstruction.

Recent progress in Neural Causal Models (NCMs) showcased how identification and partial identification of causal effects can be automatically carried out via training of neural generative models that respect the constraints encoded in a given causal graph [Xia et al. 2022, Balazadeh et al. 2022]. However, formal consistency of these methods has only been proven for the case of discrete variables or only for linear causal models. In this work, we prove consistency of partial identification via NCMs in a general setting with both continuous and categorical variables. Further, our results highlight the impact of the design of the underlying neural network architecture in terms of depth and connectivity as well as the importance of applying Lipschitz regularization in the training phase. In particular, we provide a counterexample showing that without Lipschitz regularization the NCM may not be asymptotically consistent. Our results are enabled by new results on the approximability of structural causal models via neural generative models, together with an analysis of the sample complexity of the resulting architectures and how that translates into an error in the constrained optimization problem that defines the partial identification bounds.
