With the growing availability of smart devices and cloud services, personal speech assistance systems are increasingly used on a daily basis. Most devices redirect the voice recordings to a central server, which uses them for upgrading the recognizer model. This leads to major privacy concerns, since private data could be misused by the server or third parties. Federated learning is a decentralized optimization strategy that has been proposed to address such concerns. Utilizing this approach, private data is used for on-device training. Afterwards, updated model parameters are sent to the server to improve the global model, which is redistributed to the clients. In this work, we implement federated learning for speech recognition in a hybrid and an end-to-end model. We discuss the outcomes of these systems, which both show great similarities and only small improvements, pointing to a need for a deeper understanding of federated learning for speech recognition.

5th generation (5G) systems have been designed with three main objectives in mind: increasing throughput, reducing latency, and enabling reliable communications. To meet these (often conflicting) constraints, in 2019 the 3GPP released a set of specifications for 5G NR, one of the main innovations being the support for communications in the millimeter wave (mmWave) bands. However, how to implement lower complexity, energy efficient, mid-market Internet of Things (IoT) applications is still an on-going investigation, currently led by the 3GPP which is extending the NR standard with NR-Light specifications to support devices with reduced capabilities (REDCAP). In this paper we investigate the feasibility of operating such devices at mmWaves, in view of the requirements and expectations for NR- Light applications in terms of cost and complexity, throughput, and latency. Contributions of this paper are threefold. First, we il- lustrate the potential of mmWave communication for mid-market IoT use cases. Then, we highlight and motivate the design of an NR-Light candidate interface derived from NR by a selection of features. Finally, we demonstrate the technical soundness of this interface in an industrial IoT setup via simulations.

In the context of epidemiology, policies for disease control are often devised through a mixture of intuition and brute-force, whereby the set of logically conceivable policies is narrowed down to a small family described by a few parameters, following which linearization or grid search is used to identify the optimal policy within the set. This scheme runs the risk of leaving out more complex (and perhaps counter-intuitive) policies for disease control that could tackle the disease more efficiently. In this article, we use techniques from convex optimization theory and machine learning to conduct optimizations over disease policies described by hundreds of parameters. In contrast to past approaches for policy optimization based on control theory, our framework can deal with arbitrary uncertainties on the initial conditions and model parameters controlling the spread of the disease, and stochastic models. In addition, our methods allow for optimization over policies which remain constant over weekly periods, specified by either continuous or discrete (e.g.: lockdown on/off) government measures. We illustrate our approach by minimizing the total time required to eradicate COVID-19 within the Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Recovered (SEIR) model proposed by Kissler \emph{et al.} (March, 2020).

Renting servers in the cloud is a generalization of the bin packing problem, motivated by job allocation to servers in cloud computing applications. Jobs arrive in an online manner, and need to be assigned to servers; their duration and size are known at the time of arrival. There is an infinite supply of identical servers, each having one unit of computational capacity per unit of time. A server can be rented at any time and continues to be rented until all jobs assigned to it finish. The cost of an assignment is the sum of durations of rental periods of all servers. The goal is to assign jobs to servers to minimize the overall cost while satisfying server capacity constraints. We focus on analyzing two natural algorithms, NextFit and FirstFit, for the case of jobs of equal duration. It is known that the competitive ratio of NextFit and FirstFit are at most 3 and 4 respectively for this case. We prove a tight bound of 2 on the competitive ratio of NextFit. For FirstFit, we establish a lower bound of 2.519 on the competitive ratio, even when jobs have only two distinct arrival times. For the case when jobs have arrival times 0 and 1 and duration 2, we show a lower bound of 1.89 and an upper bound of 2 on the strict competitive ratio of FirstFit. Finally, using the weight function technique, we obtain stronger results for the case of uniform servers.

Sequential recommendation as an emerging topic has attracted increasing attention due to its important practical significance. Models based on deep learning and attention mechanism have achieved good performance in sequential recommendation. Recently, the generative models based on Variational Autoencoder (VAE) have shown the unique advantage in collaborative filtering. In particular, the sequential VAE model as a recurrent version of VAE can effectively capture temporal dependencies among items in user sequence and perform sequential recommendation. However, VAE-based models suffer from a common limitation that the representational ability of the obtained approximate posterior distribution is limited, resulting in lower quality of generated samples. This is especially true for generating sequences. To solve the above problem, in this work, we propose a novel method called Adversarial and Contrastive Variational Autoencoder (ACVAE) for sequential recommendation. Specifically, we first introduce the adversarial training for sequence generation under the Adversarial Variational Bayes (AVB) framework, which enables our model to generate high-quality latent variables. Then, we employ the contrastive loss. The latent variables will be able to learn more personalized and salient characteristics by minimizing the contrastive loss. Besides, when encoding the sequence, we apply a recurrent and convolutional structure to capture global and local relationships in the sequence. Finally, we conduct extensive experiments on four real-world datasets. The experimental results show that our proposed ACVAE model outperforms other state-of-the-art methods.

Recent years have seen important advances in the quality of state-of-the-art models, but this has come at the expense of models becoming less interpretable. This survey presents an overview of the current state of Explainable AI (XAI), considered within the domain of Natural Language Processing (NLP). We discuss the main categorization of explanations, as well as the various ways explanations can be arrived at and visualized. We detail the operations and explainability techniques currently available for generating explanations for NLP model predictions, to serve as a resource for model developers in the community. Finally, we point out the current gaps and encourage directions for future work in this important research area.

Image captioning models are usually evaluated on their ability to describe a held-out set of images, not on their ability to generalize to unseen concepts. We study the problem of compositional generalization, which measures how well a model composes unseen combinations of concepts when describing images. State-of-the-art image captioning models show poor generalization performance on this task. We propose a multi-task model to address the poor performance, that combines caption generation and image--sentence ranking, and uses a decoding mechanism that re-ranks the captions according their similarity to the image. This model is substantially better at generalizing to unseen combinations of concepts compared to state-of-the-art captioning models.

Capsule Networks preserve the hierarchical spatial relationships between objects, and thereby bears a potential to surpass the performance of traditional Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) in performing tasks like image classification. A large body of work has explored adversarial examples for CNNs, but their effectiveness on Capsule Networks has not yet been well studied. In our work, we perform an analysis to study the vulnerabilities in Capsule Networks to adversarial attacks. These perturbations, added to the test inputs, are small and imperceptible to humans, but can fool the network to mispredict. We propose a greedy algorithm to automatically generate targeted imperceptible adversarial examples in a black-box attack scenario. We show that this kind of attacks, when applied to the German Traffic Sign Recognition Benchmark (GTSRB), mislead Capsule Networks. Moreover, we apply the same kind of adversarial attacks to a 5-layer CNN and a 9-layer CNN, and analyze the outcome, compared to the Capsule Networks to study differences in their behavior.

Embedding models for entities and relations are extremely useful for recovering missing facts in a knowledge base. Intuitively, a relation can be modeled by a matrix mapping entity vectors. However, relations reside on low dimension sub-manifolds in the parameter space of arbitrary matrices---for one reason, composition of two relations $\boldsymbol{M}_1,\boldsymbol{M}_2$ may match a third $\boldsymbol{M}_3$ (e.g. composition of relations currency_of_country and country_of_film usually matches currency_of_film_budget), which imposes compositional constraints to be satisfied by the parameters (i.e. $\boldsymbol{M}_1\cdot \boldsymbol{M}_2\approx \boldsymbol{M}_3$). In this paper we investigate a dimension reduction technique by training relations jointly with an autoencoder, which is expected to better capture compositional constraints. We achieve state-of-the-art on Knowledge Base Completion tasks with strongly improved Mean Rank, and show that joint training with an autoencoder leads to interpretable sparse codings of relations, helps discovering compositional constraints and benefits from compositional training. Our source code is released at github.com/tianran/glimvec.

Image captioning is a challenging task that combines the field of computer vision and natural language processing. A variety of approaches have been proposed to achieve the goal of automatically describing an image, and recurrent neural network (RNN) or long-short term memory (LSTM) based models dominate this field. However, RNNs or LSTMs cannot be calculated in parallel and ignore the underlying hierarchical structure of a sentence. In this paper, we propose a framework that only employs convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to generate captions. Owing to parallel computing, our basic model is around 3 times faster than NIC (an LSTM-based model) during training time, while also providing better results. We conduct extensive experiments on MSCOCO and investigate the influence of the model width and depth. Compared with LSTM-based models that apply similar attention mechanisms, our proposed models achieves comparable scores of BLEU-1,2,3,4 and METEOR, and higher scores of CIDEr. We also test our model on the paragraph annotation dataset, and get higher CIDEr score compared with hierarchical LSTMs
