The conventional virtual-to-physical address mapping scheme enables a virtual address to flexibly map to any physical address. This flexibility necessitates large data structures to store virtual-to-physical mappings, which incurs significantly high address translation latency and translation-induced interference in the memory hierarchy, especially in data-intensive workloads. Restricting the address mapping so that a virtual address can map to only a specific set of physical addresses can significantly reduce the overheads associated with the conventional address translation by making use of compact and more efficient translation structures. However, restricting the address mapping flexibility across the entire main memory severely limits data sharing across different processes and increases memory under-utilization. In this work, we propose Utopia, a new hybrid virtual-to-physical address mapping scheme that allows both flexible and restrictive hash-based address mapping schemes to co-exist in a system. The key idea of Utopia is to manage the physical memory using two types of physical memory segments: restrictive segments and flexible segments. A restrictive segment uses a restrictive, hash-based address mapping scheme to map the virtual addresses to only a specific set of physical addresses and enable faster address translation using compact and efficient translation structures. A flexible segment is similar to the conventional address mapping scheme and provides full virtual-to-physical address mapping flexibility. By mapping data to a restrictive segment, Utopia enables faster address translation with lower translation-induced interference whenever a flexible address mapping is not necessary. Our evaluation using 11 data-intensive workloads shows that Utopia improves performance by 24% on average in single-core workloads over the baseline four-level radix-tree page table design.

Biases in models pose a critical issue when deploying machine learning systems, but diagnosing them in an explainable manner can be challenging. To address this, we introduce the bias-to-text (B2T) framework, which uses language interpretation to identify and mitigate biases in vision models, such as image classifiers and text-to-image generative models. Our language descriptions of visual biases provide explainable forms that enable the discovery of novel biases and effective model debiasing. To achieve this, we analyze common keywords in the captions of mispredicted or generated images. Here, we propose novel score functions to avoid biases in captions by comparing the similarities between bias keywords and those images. Additionally, we present strategies to debias zero-shot classifiers and text-to-image diffusion models using the bias keywords from the B2T framework. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework on various image classification and generation tasks. For classifiers, we discover a new spurious correlation between the keywords "(sports) player" and "female" in Kaggle Face and improve the worst-group accuracy on Waterbirds by 11% through debiasing, compared to the baseline. For generative models, we detect and effectively prevent unfair (e.g., gender-biased) and unsafe (e.g., "naked") image generation.

Recent advancements in the domain of text-to-image synthesis have culminated in a multitude of enhancements pertaining to quality, fidelity, and diversity. Contemporary techniques enable the generation of highly intricate visuals which rapidly approach near-photorealistic quality. Nevertheless, as progress is achieved, the complexity of these methodologies increases, consequently intensifying the comprehension barrier between individuals within the field and those external to it. In an endeavor to mitigate this disparity, we propose a streamlined approach for text-to-image generation, which encompasses both the training paradigm and the sampling process. Despite its remarkable simplicity, our method yields aesthetically pleasing images with few sampling iterations, allows for intriguing ways for conditioning the model, and imparts advantages absent in state-of-the-art techniques. To demonstrate the efficacy of this approach in achieving outcomes comparable to existing works, we have trained a one-billion parameter text-conditional model, which we refer to as "Paella". In the interest of fostering future exploration in this field, we have made our source code and models publicly accessible for the research community.

Query reformulation is a key mechanism to alleviate the linguistic chasm of query in ad-hoc retrieval. Among various solutions, query reduction effectively removes extraneous terms and specifies concise user intent from long queries. However, it is challenging to capture hidden and diverse user intent. This paper proposes Contextualized Query Reduction (ConQueR) using a pre-trained language model (PLM). Specifically, it reduces verbose queries with two different views: core term extraction and sub-query selection. One extracts core terms from an original query at the term level, and the other determines whether a sub-query is a suitable reduction for the original query at the sequence level. Since they operate at different levels of granularity and complement each other, they are finally aggregated in an ensemble manner. We evaluate the reduction quality of ConQueR on real-world search logs collected from a commercial web search engine. It achieves up to 8.45% gains in exact match scores over the best competing model.

Backpropagation, which uses the chain rule, is the de-facto standard algorithm for optimizing neural networks nowadays. Recently, Hinton (2022) proposed the forward-forward algorithm, a promising alternative that optimizes neural nets layer-by-layer, without propagating gradients throughout the network. Although such an approach has several advantages over back-propagation and shows promising results, the fact that each layer is being trained independently limits the optimization process. Specifically, it prevents the network's layers from collaborating to learn complex and rich features. In this work, we study layer collaboration in the forward-forward algorithm. We show that the current version of the forward-forward algorithm is suboptimal when considering information flow in the network, resulting in a lack of collaboration between layers of the network. We propose an improved version that supports layer collaboration to better utilize the network structure, while not requiring any additional assumptions or computations. We empirically demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed version when considering both information flow and objective metrics. Additionally, we provide a theoretical motivation for the proposed method, inspired by functional entropy theory.

Deep learning models can be vulnerable to recovery attacks, raising privacy concerns to users, and widespread algorithms such as empirical risk minimization (ERM) often do not directly enforce safety guarantees. In this paper, we study the safety of ERM-trained models against a family of powerful black-box attacks. Our analysis quantifies this safety via two separate terms: (i) the model stability with respect to individual training samples, and (ii) the feature alignment between the attacker query and the original data. While the first term is well established in learning theory and it is connected to the generalization error in classical work, the second one is, to the best of our knowledge, novel. Our key technical result provides a precise characterization of the feature alignment for the two prototypical settings of random features (RF) and neural tangent kernel (NTK) regression. This proves that privacy strengthens with an increase in the generalization capability, unveiling also the role of the activation function. Numerical experiments show a behavior in agreement with our theory not only for the RF and NTK models, but also for deep neural networks trained on standard datasets (MNIST, CIFAR-10).

Sensing technologies deployed in the workplace can unobtrusively collect detailed data about individual activities and group interactions that are otherwise difficult to capture. A hopeful application of these technologies is that they can help businesses and workers optimize productivity and wellbeing. However, given the workplace's inherent and structural power dynamics, the prevalent approach of accepting tacit compliance to monitor work activities rather than seeking workers' meaningful consent raises privacy and ethical concerns. This paper unpacks the challenges workers face when consenting to workplace wellbeing technologies. Using a hypothetical case to prompt reflection among six multi-stakeholder focus groups involving 15 participants, we explored participants' expectations and capacity to consent to these technologies. We sketched possible interventions that could better support meaningful consent to workplace wellbeing technologies by drawing on critical computing and feminist scholarship -- which reframes consent from a purely individual choice to a structural condition experienced at the individual level that needs to be freely given, reversible, informed, enthusiastic, and specific (FRIES). The focus groups revealed how workers are vulnerable to "meaningless" consent -- as they may be subject to power dynamics that minimize their ability to withhold consent and may thus experience an erosion of autonomy, also undermining the value of data gathered in the name of "wellbeing." To meaningfully consent, participants wanted changes to the technology and to the policies and practices surrounding the technology. Our mapping of what prevents workers from meaningfully consenting to workplace wellbeing technologies (challenges) and what they require to do so (interventions) illustrates how the lack of meaningful consent is a structural problem requiring socio-technical solutions.

While the increased use of AI in the manufacturing sector has been widely noted, there is little understanding on the risks that it may raise in a manufacturing organisation. Although various high level frameworks and definitions have been proposed to consolidate potential risks, practitioners struggle with understanding and implementing them. This lack of understanding exposes manufacturing to a multitude of risks, including the organisation, its workers, as well as suppliers and clients. In this paper, we explore and interpret the applicability of responsible, ethical, and trustworthy AI within the context of manufacturing. We then use a broadened adaptation of a machine learning lifecycle to discuss, through the use of illustrative examples, how each step may result in a given AI trustworthiness concern. We additionally propose a number of research questions to the manufacturing research community, in order to help guide future research so that the economic and societal benefits envisaged by AI in manufacturing are delivered safely and responsibly.

Spiking neural networks (SNNs) process time-series data via internal event-driven neural dynamics whose energy consumption depends on the number of spikes exchanged between neurons over the course of the input presentation. In typical implementations of an SNN classifier, decisions are produced after the entire input sequence has been processed, resulting in latency and energy consumption levels that are fairly uniform across inputs. Recently introduced delay-adaptive SNNs tailor the inference latency -- and, with it, the energy consumption -- to the difficulty of each example, by producing an early decision when the SNN model is sufficiently ``confident''. In this paper, we start by observing that, as an SNN processes input samples, its classification decisions tend to be first under-confident and then over-confident with respect to the decision's ground-truth, unknown, test accuracy. This makes it difficult to determine a stopping time that ensures a desired level of accuracy. To address this problem, we introduce a novel delay-adaptive SNN-based inference methodology that, wrapping around any pre-trained SNN classifier, provides guaranteed reliability for the decisions produced at input-dependent stopping times. The approach entails minimal added complexity as compared to the underlying SNN, requiring only thresholding and counting operations at run time, and it leverages tools from conformal prediction (CP).

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).
