This article considers Bayesian model selection via mean-field (MF) variational approximation. Towards this goal, we study the non-asymptotic properties of MF inference under the Bayesian framework that allows latent variables and model mis-specification. Concretely, we show a Bernstein von-Mises (BvM) theorem for the variational distribution from MF under possible model mis-specification, which implies the distributional convergence of MF variational approximation to a normal distribution centering at the maximal likelihood estimator (within the specified model). Motivated by the BvM theorem, we propose a model selection criterion using the evidence lower bound (ELBO), and demonstrate that the model selected by ELBO tends to asymptotically agree with the one selected by the commonly used Bayesian information criterion (BIC) as sample size tends to infinity. Comparing to BIC, ELBO tends to incur smaller approximation error to the log-marginal likelihood (a.k.a. model evidence) due to a better dimension dependence and full incorporation of the prior information. Moreover, we show the geometric convergence of the coordinate ascent variational inference (CAVI) algorithm under the parametric model framework, which provides a practical guidance on how many iterations one typically needs to run when approximating the ELBO. These findings demonstrate that variational inference is capable of providing a computationally efficient alternative to conventional approaches in tasks beyond obtaining point estimates, which is also empirically demonstrated by our extensive numerical experiments.

In supervised learning, automatically assessing the quality of the labels before any learning takes place remains an open research question. In certain particular cases, hypothesis testing procedures have been proposed to assess whether a given instance-label dataset is contaminated with class-conditional label noise, as opposed to uniform label noise. The existing theory builds on the asymptotic properties of the Maximum Likelihood Estimate for parametric logistic regression. However, the parametric assumptions on top of which these approaches are constructed are often too strong and unrealistic in practice. To alleviate this problem, in this paper we propose an alternative path by showing how similar procedures can be followed when the underlying model is a product of Local Maximum Likelihood Estimation that leads to more flexible nonparametric logistic regression models, which in turn are less susceptible to model misspecification. This different view allows for wider applicability of the tests by offering users access to a richer model class. Similarly to existing works, we assume we have access to anchor points which are provided by the users. We introduce the necessary ingredients for the adaptation of the hypothesis tests to the case of nonparametric logistic regression and empirically compare against the parametric approach presenting both synthetic and real-world case studies and discussing the advantages and limitations of the proposed approach.

Learning to collaborate has witnessed significant progress in multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL). However, promoting coordination among agents and enhancing exploration capabilities remain challenges. In multi-agent environments, interactions between agents are limited in specific situations. Effective collaboration between agents thus requires a nuanced understanding of when and how agents' actions influence others. To this end, in this paper, we propose a novel MARL algorithm named Situation-Dependent Causal Influence-Based Cooperative Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning (SCIC), which incorporates a novel Intrinsic reward mechanism based on a new cooperation criterion measured by situation-dependent causal influence among agents. Our approach aims to detect inter-agent causal influences in specific situations based on the criterion using causal intervention and conditional mutual information. This effectively assists agents in exploring states that can positively impact other agents, thus promoting cooperation between agents. The resulting update links coordinated exploration and intrinsic reward distribution, which enhance overall collaboration and performance. Experimental results on various MARL benchmarks demonstrate the superiority of our method compared to state-of-the-art approaches.

In this work, we solve differential equations using quantum Chebyshev feature maps. We propose a tensor product over a summation of Pauli-Z operators as a change in the measurement observables resulting in improved accuracy and reduced computation time for initial value problems processed by floating boundary handling. This idea has been tested on solving the complex dynamics of a Riccati equation as well as on a system of differential equations. Furthermore, a second-order differential equation is investigated in which we propose adding entangling layers to improve accuracy without increasing the variational parameters. Additionally, a modified self-adaptivity approach of physics-informed neural networks is incorporated to balance the multi-objective loss function. Finally, a new quantum circuit structure is proposed to approximate multivariable functions, tested on solving a 2D Poisson's equation.

We aim to investigate if we can improve predictions of stress caused by OCD symptoms using pre-trained models, and present our statistical analysis plan in this paper. With the methods presented in this plan, we aim to avoid bias from data knowledge and thereby strengthen our hypotheses and findings. The Wrist Angel study, which this statistical analysis plan concerns, contains data from nine participants, between 8 and 17 years old, diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The data was obtained by an Empatica E4 wristband, which the participants wore during waking hours for 8 weeks. The purpose of the study is to assess the feasibility of predicting the in-the-wild OCD events captured during this period. In our analysis, we aim to investigate if we can improve predictions of stress caused by OCD symptoms, and to do this we have created a pre-trained model, trained on four open-source data for stress prediction. We intend to apply this pre-trained model to the Wrist Angel data by fine-tuning, thereby utilizing transfer learning. The pre-trained model is a convolutional neural network that uses blood volume pulse, heart rate, electrodermal activity, and skin temperature as time series windows to predict OCD events. Furthermore, using accelerometer data, another model filters physical activity to further improve performance, given that physical activity is physiologically similar to stress. By evaluating various ways of applying our model (fine-tuned, non-fine-tuned, pre-trained, non-pre-trained, and with or without activity classification), we contextualize the problem such that it can be assessed if transfer learning is a viable strategy in this domain.

In this work, we study the problem of continual learning (CL) where the goal is to learn a model on a sequence of tasks, such that the data from the previous tasks becomes unavailable while learning on the current task data. CL is essentially a balancing act between being able to learn on the new task (i.e., plasticity) and maintaining the performance on the previously learned concepts (i.e., stability). With an aim to address the stability-plasticity trade-off, we propose to perform weight-ensembling of the model parameters of the previous and current task. This weight-ensembled model, which we call Continual Model Averaging (or CoMA), attains high accuracy on the current task by leveraging plasticity, while not deviating too far from the previous weight configuration, ensuring stability. We also propose an improved variant of CoMA, named Continual Fisher-weighted Model Averaging (or CoFiMA), that selectively weighs each parameter in the weight ensemble by leveraging the Fisher information of the weights of the model. Both the variants are conceptually simple, easy to implement, and effective in attaining state-of-the-art performance on several standard CL benchmarks.

The prevalence of the powerful multilingual models, such as Whisper, has significantly advanced the researches on speech recognition. However, these models often struggle with handling the code-switching setting, which is essential in multilingual speech recognition. Recent studies have attempted to address this setting by separating the modules for different languages to ensure distinct latent representations for languages. Some other methods considered the switching mechanism based on language identification. In this study, a new attention-guided adaptation is proposed to conduct parameter-efficient learning for bilingual ASR. This method selects those attention heads in a model which closely express language identities and then guided those heads to be correctly attended with their corresponding languages. The experiments on the Mandarin-English code-switching speech corpus show that the proposed approach achieves a 14.2% mixed error rate, surpassing state-of-the-art method, where only 5.6% additional parameters over Whisper are trained.

Few-shot Knowledge Graph (KG) completion is a focus of current research, where each task aims at querying unseen facts of a relation given its few-shot reference entity pairs. Recent attempts solve this problem by learning static representations of entities and references, ignoring their dynamic properties, i.e., entities may exhibit diverse roles within task relations, and references may make different contributions to queries. This work proposes an adaptive attentional network for few-shot KG completion by learning adaptive entity and reference representations. Specifically, entities are modeled by an adaptive neighbor encoder to discern their task-oriented roles, while references are modeled by an adaptive query-aware aggregator to differentiate their contributions. Through the attention mechanism, both entities and references can capture their fine-grained semantic meanings, and thus render more expressive representations. This will be more predictive for knowledge acquisition in the few-shot scenario. Evaluation in link prediction on two public datasets shows that our approach achieves new state-of-the-art results with different few-shot sizes.

Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) have received increasing attention in recent machine learning. How to effectively leverage the rich structural information in complex graphs, such as knowledge graphs with heterogeneous types of entities and relations, is a primary open challenge in the field. Most GCN methods are either restricted to graphs with a homogeneous type of edges (e.g., citation links only), or focusing on representation learning for nodes only instead of jointly optimizing the embeddings of both nodes and edges for target-driven objectives. This paper addresses these limitations by proposing a novel framework, namely the GEneralized Multi-relational Graph Convolutional Networks (GEM-GCN), which combines the power of GCNs in graph-based belief propagation and the strengths of advanced knowledge-base embedding methods, and goes beyond. Our theoretical analysis shows that GEM-GCN offers an elegant unification of several well-known GCN methods as specific cases, with a new perspective of graph convolution. Experimental results on benchmark datasets show the advantageous performance of GEM-GCN over strong baseline methods in the tasks of knowledge graph alignment and entity classification.

Machine learning techniques have deeply rooted in our everyday life. However, since it is knowledge- and labor-intensive to pursue good learning performance, human experts are heavily involved in every aspect of machine learning. In order to make machine learning techniques easier to apply and reduce the demand for experienced human experts, automated machine learning (AutoML) has emerged as a hot topic with both industrial and academic interest. In this paper, we provide an up to date survey on AutoML. First, we introduce and define the AutoML problem, with inspiration from both realms of automation and machine learning. Then, we propose a general AutoML framework that not only covers most existing approaches to date but also can guide the design for new methods. Subsequently, we categorize and review the existing works from two aspects, i.e., the problem setup and the employed techniques. Finally, we provide a detailed analysis of AutoML approaches and explain the reasons underneath their successful applications. We hope this survey can serve as not only an insightful guideline for AutoML beginners but also an inspiration for future research.
