Within the concept of physical human-robot interaction (pHRI), the most important criterion is the safety of the human operator interacting with a high degree of freedom (DoF) robot. Therefore, a robust control scheme is in high demand to establish safe pHRI and stabilize nonlinear, high DoF systems. In this paper, an adaptive decentralized control strategy is designed to accomplish the abovementioned objectives. To do so, a human upper limb model and an exoskeleton model are decentralized and augmented at the subsystem level to enable a decentralized control action design. Moreover, human exogenous force (HEF) that can resist exoskeleton motion is estimated using radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs). Estimating both human upper limb and robot rigid body parameters, along with HEF estimation, makes the controller adaptable to different operators, ensuring their physical safety. The barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) is employed to guarantee that the robot can operate in a safe workspace while ensuring stability by adjusting the control law. Unknown actuator uncertainty and constraints are also considered in this study to ensure a smooth and safe pHRI. Then, the asymptotic stability of the whole system is established by means of the virtual stability concept and virtual power flows (VPFs) under the proposed robust controller. The experimental results are presented and compared to proportional-derivative (PD) and proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers. To show the robustness of the designed controller and its good performance, experiments are performed at different velocities, with different human users, and in the presence of unknown disturbances. The proposed controller showed perfect performance in controlling the robot, whereas PD and PID controllers could not even ensure stable motion in the wrist joints of the robot.

Recommender systems predict what items a user will interact with next, based on their past interactions. The problem is often approached through supervised learning, but recent advancements have shifted towards policy optimization of rewards (e.g., user engagement). One challenge with the latter is policy mismatch: we are only able to train a new policy given data collected from a previously-deployed policy. The conventional way to address this problem is through importance sampling correction, but this comes with practical limitations. We suggest an alternative approach of local policy improvement without off-policy correction. Our method computes and optimizes a lower bound of expected reward of the target policy, which is easy to estimate from data and does not involve density ratios (such as those appearing in importance sampling correction). This local policy improvement paradigm is ideal for recommender systems, as previous policies are typically of decent quality and policies are updated frequently. We provide empirical evidence and practical recipes for applying our technique in a sequential recommendation setting.

The total correlation(TC) is a crucial index to measure the correlation between marginal distribution in multidimensional random variables, and it is frequently applied as an inductive bias in representation learning. Previous research has shown that the TC value can be estimated using mutual information boundaries through decomposition. However, we found through theoretical derivation and qualitative experiments that due to the use of importance sampling in the decomposition process, the bias of TC value estimated based on MI bounds will be amplified when the proposal distribution in the sampling differs significantly from the target distribution. To reduce estimation bias issues, we propose a TC estimation correction model based on supervised learning, which uses the training iteration loss sequence of the TC estimator based on MI bounds as input features to output the true TC value. Experiments show that our proposed method can improve the accuracy of TC estimation and eliminate the variance generated by the TC estimation process.

This paper presents an accelerated proximal gradient method for multiobjective optimization, in which each objective function is the sum of a continuously differentiable, convex function and a closed, proper, convex function. Extending first-order methods for multiobjective problems without scalarization has been widely studied, but providing accelerated methods with accurate proofs of convergence rates remains an open problem. Our proposed method is a multiobjective generalization of the accelerated proximal gradient method, also known as the Fast Iterative Shrinkage-Thresholding Algorithm (FISTA), for scalar optimization. The key to this successful extension is solving a subproblem with terms exclusive to the multiobjective case. This approach allows us to demonstrate the global convergence rate of the proposed method ($O(1 / k^2)$), using a merit function to measure the complexity. Furthermore, we present an efficient way to solve the subproblem via its dual representation, and we confirm the validity of the proposed method through some numerical experiments.

In this work, we consider the numerical computation of ground states and dynamics of single-component Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). The corresponding models are spatially discretized with a multiscale finite element approach known as Localized Orthogonal Decomposition (LOD). Despite the outstanding approximation properties of such a discretization in the context of BECs, taking full advantage of it without creating severe computational bottlenecks can be tricky. In this paper, we therefore present two fully-discrete numerical approaches that are formulated in such a way that they take special account of the structure of the LOD spaces. One approach is devoted to the computation of ground states and another one for the computation of dynamics. A central focus of this paper is also the discussion of implementation aspects that are very important for the practical realization of the methods. In particular, we discuss the use of suitable data structures that keep the memory costs economical. The paper concludes with various numerical experiments in 1d, 2d and 3d that investigate convergence rates and approximation properties of the methods and which demonstrate their performance and computational efficiency, also in comparison to spectral and standard finite element approaches.

We consider the computations of the action ground state for a rotating nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation. It reads as a minimization of the action functional under the Nehari constraint. In the focusing case, we identify an equivalent formulation of the problem which simplifies the constraint. Based on it, we propose a normalized gradient flow method with asymptotic Lagrange multiplier and establish the energy-decaying property. Popular optimization methods are also applied to gain more efficiency. In the defocusing case, we prove that the ground state can be obtained by the unconstrained minimization. Then the direct gradient flow method and unconstrained optimization methods are applied. Numerical experiments show the convergence and accuracy of the proposed methods in both cases, and comparisons on the efficiency are discussed. Finally, the relation between the action and the energy ground states are numerically investigated.

We present an exponentially convergent numerical method to approximate the solution of the Cauchy problem for the inhomogeneous fractional differential equation with an unbounded operator coefficient and Caputo fractional derivative in time. The numerical method is based on the newly obtained solution formula that consolidates the mild solution representations of sub-parabolic, parabolic and sub-hyperbolic equations with sectorial operator coefficient $A$ and non-zero initial data. The involved integral operators are approximated using the sinc-quadrature formulas that are tailored to the spectral parameters of $A$, fractional order $\alpha$ and the smoothness of the first initial condition, as well as to the properties of the equation's right-hand side $f(t)$. The resulting method possesses exponential convergence for positive sectorial $A$, any finite $t$, including $t = 0$, and the whole range $\alpha \in (0,2)$. It is suitable for a practically important case, when no knowledge of $f(t)$ is available outside the considered interval $t \in [0, T]$. The algorithm of the method is capable of multi-level parallelism. We provide numerical examples that confirm the theoretical error estimates.

Variational autoencoders (VAEs) are one of the deep generative models that have experienced enormous success over the past decades. However, in practice, they suffer from a problem called posterior collapse, which occurs when the encoder coincides, or collapses, with the prior taking no information from the latent structure of the input data into consideration. In this work, we introduce an inverse Lipschitz neural network into the decoder and, based on this architecture, provide a new method that can control in a simple and clear manner the degree of posterior collapse for a wide range of VAE models equipped with a concrete theoretical guarantee. We also illustrate the effectiveness of our method through several numerical experiments.

We present a categorical theory of the composition methods in finite model theory -- a key technique enabling modular reasoning about complex structures by building them out of simpler components. The crucial results required by the composition methods are Feferman-Vaught-Mostowski (FVM) type theorems, which characterize how logical equivalence behaves under composition and transformation of models. Our results are developed by extending the recently introduced game comonad semantics for model comparison games. This level of abstraction allow us to give conditions yielding FVM type results in a uniform way. Our theorems are parametric in the classes of models, logics and operations involved. Furthermore, they naturally account for the positive existential fragment, and extensions with counting quantifiers of these logics. We also reveal surprising connections between FVM type theorems, and classical concepts in the theory of monads. We illustrate our methods by recovering many classical theorems of practical interest, including a refinement of a previous result by Dawar, Severini, and Zapata concerning the 3-variable counting logic and cospectrality. To highlight the importance of our techniques being parametric in the logic of interest, we prove a family of FVM theorems for products of structures, uniformly in the logic in question, which cannot be done using specific game arguments.

We present a new method to learn video representations from large-scale unlabeled video data. Ideally, this representation will be generic and transferable, directly usable for new tasks such as action recognition and zero or few-shot learning. We formulate unsupervised representation learning as a multi-modal, multi-task learning problem, where the representations are shared across different modalities via distillation. Further, we introduce the concept of loss function evolution by using an evolutionary search algorithm to automatically find optimal combination of loss functions capturing many (self-supervised) tasks and modalities. Thirdly, we propose an unsupervised representation evaluation metric using distribution matching to a large unlabeled dataset as a prior constraint, based on Zipf's law. This unsupervised constraint, which is not guided by any labeling, produces similar results to weakly-supervised, task-specific ones. The proposed unsupervised representation learning results in a single RGB network and outperforms previous methods. Notably, it is also more effective than several label-based methods (e.g., ImageNet), with the exception of large, fully labeled video datasets.
