Ensembling a neural network is a widely recognized approach to enhance model performance, estimate uncertainty, and improve robustness in deep supervised learning. However, deep ensembles often come with high computational costs and memory demands. In addition, the efficiency of a deep ensemble is related to diversity among the ensemble members which is challenging for large, over-parameterized deep neural networks. Moreover, ensemble learning has not yet seen such widespread adoption, and it remains a challenging endeavor for self-supervised or unsupervised representation learning. Motivated by these challenges, we present a novel self-supervised training regime that leverages an ensemble of independent sub-networks, complemented by a new loss function designed to encourage diversity. Our method efficiently builds a sub-model ensemble with high diversity, leading to well-calibrated estimates of model uncertainty, all achieved with minimal computational overhead compared to traditional deep self-supervised ensembles. To evaluate the effectiveness of our approach, we conducted extensive experiments across various tasks, including in-distribution generalization, out-of-distribution detection, dataset corruption, and semi-supervised settings. The results demonstrate that our method significantly improves prediction reliability. Our approach not only achieves excellent accuracy but also enhances calibration, surpassing baseline performance across a wide range of self-supervised architectures in computer vision, natural language processing, and genomics data.

This article addresses the problem of Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC) in wireless networks, a framework with particularly stringent constraints imposed by many Internet of Things (IoT) applications from diverse sectors. We propose a novel Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) scheduling algorithm, named NOMA-PPO, to solve the Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) uplink URLLC scheduling problem involving strict deadlines. The challenge of addressing uplink URLLC requirements in NOMA systems is related to the combinatorial complexity of the action space due to the possibility to schedule multiple devices, and to the partial observability constraint that we impose to our algorithm in order to meet the IoT communication constraints and be scalable. Our approach involves 1) formulating the NOMA-URLLC problem as a Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) and the introduction of an agent state, serving as a sufficient statistic of past observations and actions, enabling a transformation of the POMDP into a Markov Decision Process (MDP); 2) adapting the Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) algorithm to handle the combinatorial action space; 3) incorporating prior knowledge into the learning agent with the introduction of a Bayesian policy. Numerical results reveal that not only does our approach outperform traditional multiple access protocols and DRL benchmarks on 3GPP scenarios, but also proves to be robust under various channel and traffic configurations, efficiently exploiting inherent time correlations.

Recent studies show edge computing-based road anomaly detection systems which may also conduct data collection simultaneously. However, the edge computers will have small data storage but we need to store the collected audio samples for a long time in order to update existing models or develop a novel method. Therefore, we should consider an approach for efficient storage management methods while preserving high-fidelity audio. A hardware-perspective approach, such as using a low-resolution microphone, is an intuitive way to reduce file size but is not recommended because it fundamentally cuts off high-frequency components. On the other hand, a computational file compression approach that encodes collected high-resolution audio into a compact code should be recommended because it also provides a corresponding decoding method. Motivated by this, we propose a way of simple yet effective pre-trained autoencoder-based data compression method. The pre-trained autoencoder is trained for the purpose of audio super-resolution so it can be utilized to encode or decode any arbitrary sampling rate. Moreover, it will reduce the communication cost for data transmission from the edge to the central server. Via the comparative experiments, we confirm that the zero-shot audio compression and decompression highly preserve anomaly detection performance while enhancing storage and transmission efficiency.

We consider hypergraph network design problems where the goal is to construct a hypergraph satisfying certain properties. In graph network design problems, the number of edges in an arbitrary solution is at most the square of the number of vertices. In contrast, in hypergraph network design problems, the number of hyperedges in an arbitrary solution could be exponential in the number of vertices and hence, additional care is necessary to design polynomial-time algorithms. The central theme of this work is to show that certain hypergraph network design problems admit solutions with polynomial number of hyperedges and moreover, can be solved in strongly polynomial time. Our work improves on the previous fastest pseudo-polynomial run-time for these problems. In addition, we develop algorithms that return (near-)uniform hypergraphs as solutions. The hypergraph network design problems that we focus upon are splitting-off operation in hypergraphs, connectivity augmentation using hyperedges, and covering skew-supermodular functions using hyperedges. Our definition of the splitting-off operation in hypergraphs and our proof showing the existence of the operation using a strongly polynomial-time algorithm to compute it are likely to be of independent graph-theoretical interest.

During software development, balancing security and non security issues is challenging. We focus on security awareness and approaches taken by non-security experts using software development issue trackers when considering security. We first analyse interfaces from prominent issue trackers to see how they support security communication and how they integrate security scoring. Then, we investigate through a small scale user study what criteria developers take when prioritising issues, in particular observing their attitudes to security. We find projects make reference to CVSS summaries (Common Vulnerability Scoring System), often alongside CVE reports (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures), but issue trackers do not often have interfaces designed for this. Users in our study were not comfortable with CVSS analysis, though were able to reason in a manner compatible with CVSS. Detailed explanations and advice were seen as helpful in making security decisions. This suggests that adding improvements to communication through CVSS-like questioning in issue tracking software can elicit better security interactions.

We propose a resampling-based approach for assessing keyness in corpus linguistics based on suggestions by Gries (2006, 2022). Traditional approaches based on hypothesis tests (e.g. Likelihood Ratio) model the copora as independent identically distributed samples of tokens. This model does not account for the often observed uneven distribution of occurences of a word across a corpus. When occurences of a word are concentrated in few documents, large values of LLR and similar scores are in fact much more likely than accounted for by the token-by-token sampling model, leading to false positives. We replace the token-by-token sampling model by a model where corpora are samples of documents rather than tokens, which is much closer to the way corpora are actually assembled. We then use a permutation approach to approximate the distribution of a given keyness score under the null hypothesis of equal frequencies and obtain p-values for assessing significance. We do not need any assumption on how the tokens are organized within or across documents, and the approach works with basically *any* keyness score. Hence, appart from obtaining more accurate p-values for scores like LLR, we can also assess significance for e.g. the logratio which has been proposed as a measure of effect size. An efficient implementation of the proposed approach is provided in the `R` package `keyperm` available from github.

We study a new incentive problem of social information sharing for location-based services (e.g., Waze and Yelp). The problem aims to crowdsource a mass of mobile users to learn massive point-of-interest (PoI) information while traveling and share it with each other as a public good. Given that crowdsourced users mind their own travel costs and possess various preferences over the PoI information along different paths, we formulate the problem as a non-atomic routing game with positive network externalities. We first show by price of anarchy (PoA) analysis that, in the absence of any incentive design, users' selfish routing on the path with the lowest cost will limit information diversity and lead to an arbitrarily large efficiency loss from the social optimum. This motivates us to explore effective incentive mechanisms to remedy while upholding individual rationality, incentive compatibility, and budget balance to ensure practical feasibility. We start by presenting an adaptive information restriction (AIR) mechanism that dynamically customizes restriction fractions, depending on the real user flows along different paths, to govern users' access to the shared PoI aggregation. We show that AIR achieves a PoA of 0.25 for homogeneous users (of identical PoI preferences over paths) and 0.125 for heterogeneous users in a typical network of two parallel paths. Further, we propose a side-payment mechanism (ASP) that adaptively charges or rewards users along certain paths. With those charges and rewards well-tailored, ASP significantly improves the PoA to 1 (optimal) and 0.5 for homogeneous and heterogeneous users in the two-path network, respectively. For a generalized network of multiple parallel paths, we further advance ASP to be able to guarantee a PoA of 0.5. Additionally, our theoretical results are well corroborated by our numerical findings.

Data augmentation, the artificial creation of training data for machine learning by transformations, is a widely studied research field across machine learning disciplines. While it is useful for increasing the generalization capabilities of a model, it can also address many other challenges and problems, from overcoming a limited amount of training data over regularizing the objective to limiting the amount data used to protect privacy. Based on a precise description of the goals and applications of data augmentation (C1) and a taxonomy for existing works (C2), this survey is concerned with data augmentation methods for textual classification and aims to achieve a concise and comprehensive overview for researchers and practitioners (C3). Derived from the taxonomy, we divided more than 100 methods into 12 different groupings and provide state-of-the-art references expounding which methods are highly promising (C4). Finally, research perspectives that may constitute a building block for future work are given (C5).

Benefit from the quick development of deep learning techniques, salient object detection has achieved remarkable progresses recently. However, there still exists following two major challenges that hinder its application in embedded devices, low resolution output and heavy model weight. To this end, this paper presents an accurate yet compact deep network for efficient salient object detection. More specifically, given a coarse saliency prediction in the deepest layer, we first employ residual learning to learn side-output residual features for saliency refinement, which can be achieved with very limited convolutional parameters while keep accuracy. Secondly, we further propose reverse attention to guide such side-output residual learning in a top-down manner. By erasing the current predicted salient regions from side-output features, the network can eventually explore the missing object parts and details which results in high resolution and accuracy. Experiments on six benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed approach compares favorably against state-of-the-art methods, and with advantages in terms of simplicity, efficiency (45 FPS) and model size (81 MB).

Learning similarity functions between image pairs with deep neural networks yields highly correlated activations of embeddings. In this work, we show how to improve the robustness of such embeddings by exploiting the independence within ensembles. To this end, we divide the last embedding layer of a deep network into an embedding ensemble and formulate training this ensemble as an online gradient boosting problem. Each learner receives a reweighted training sample from the previous learners. Further, we propose two loss functions which increase the diversity in our ensemble. These loss functions can be applied either for weight initialization or during training. Together, our contributions leverage large embedding sizes more effectively by significantly reducing correlation of the embedding and consequently increase retrieval accuracy of the embedding. Our method works with any differentiable loss function and does not introduce any additional parameters during test time. We evaluate our metric learning method on image retrieval tasks and show that it improves over state-of-the-art methods on the CUB 200-2011, Cars-196, Stanford Online Products, In-Shop Clothes Retrieval and VehicleID datasets.
