In this paper we present ODIN, a front-running protection system that uses a novel algorithm to measure Round-Trip-Time (RTT) to untrusted servers. ODIN is the decentralized equivalent of THOR, a RTT-aware front-running protection system for trading on centralized exchanges. Unlike centralized exchanges, P2P exchanges have potentially malicious peers which makes reliable direct RTT measurement impossible. In order to prevent tampering by an arbitrarily malicious peer, ODIN performs an indirect RTT measurement that never interacts directly with the target machine. The RTT to the target is estimated by measuring the RTT to a randomized IP address that is known to be close to the target's IP address in the global routing network. We find that ODIN's RTT estimation algorithm provides an accurate, practical, and generic solution for collecting network latency data in a hostile network environment.

Legged systems have many advantages when compared to their wheeled counterparts. For example, they can more easily navigate extreme, uneven terrain. However, there are disadvantages as well, particularly the difficulty seen in modeling the nonlinearities of the system. Research has shown that using flexible components within legged locomotive systems improves performance measures such as efficiency and running velocity. Because of the difficulties encountered in modeling flexible systems, control methods such as reinforcement learning can be used to define control strategies. Furthermore, reinforcement learning can be tasked with learning mechanical parameters of a system to match a control input. It is shown in this work that when deploying reinforcement learning to find design parameters for a pogo-stick jumping system, the designs the agents learn are optimal within the design space provided to the agents.

We study the problem of learning a single occurrence regular expression with interleaving (SOIRE) from a set of text strings possibly with noise. SOIRE fully supports interleaving and covers a large portion of regular expressions used in practice. Learning SOIREs is challenging because it requires heavy computation and text strings usually contain noise in practice. Most of the previous studies only learn restricted SOIREs and are not robust on noisy data. To tackle these issues, we propose a noise-tolerant differentiable learning approach SOIREDL for SOIRE. We design a neural network to simulate SOIRE matching and theoretically prove that certain assignments of the set of parameters learnt by the neural network, called faithful encodings, are one-to-one corresponding to SOIREs for a bounded size. Based on this correspondence, we interpret the target SOIRE from an assignment of the set of parameters of the neural network by exploring the nearest faithful encodings. Experimental results show that SOIREDL outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches, especially on noisy data.

Error correction in automatic speech recognition (ASR) aims to correct those incorrect words in sentences generated by ASR models. Since recent ASR models usually have low word error rate (WER), to avoid affecting originally correct tokens, error correction models should only modify incorrect words, and therefore detecting incorrect words is important for error correction. Previous works on error correction either implicitly detect error words through target-source attention or CTC (connectionist temporal classification) loss, or explicitly locate specific deletion/substitution/insertion errors. However, implicit error detection does not provide clear signal about which tokens are incorrect and explicit error detection suffers from low detection accuracy. In this paper, we propose SoftCorrect with a soft error detection mechanism to avoid the limitations of both explicit and implicit error detection. Specifically, we first detect whether a token is correct or not through a probability produced by a dedicatedly designed language model, and then design a constrained CTC loss that only duplicates the detected incorrect tokens to let the decoder focus on the correction of error tokens. Compared with implicit error detection with CTC loss, SoftCorrect provides explicit signal about which words are incorrect and thus does not need to duplicate every token but only incorrect tokens; compared with explicit error detection, SoftCorrect does not detect specific deletion/substitution/insertion errors but just leaves it to CTC loss. Experiments on AISHELL-1 and Aidatatang datasets show that SoftCorrect achieves 26.1% and 9.4% CER reduction respectively, outperforming previous works by a large margin, while still enjoying fast speed of parallel generation.

Federated learning has attracted increasing attention with the emergence of distributed data. While extensive federated learning algorithms have been proposed for the non-convex distributed problem, the federated learning in practice still faces numerous challenges, such as the large training iterations to converge since the sizes of models and datasets keep increasing, and the lack of adaptivity by SGD-based model updates. Meanwhile, the study of adaptive methods in federated learning is scarce and existing works either lack a complete theoretical convergence guarantee or have slow sample complexity. In this paper, we propose an efficient adaptive algorithm (i.e., FAFED) based on the momentum-based variance reduced technique in cross-silo FL. We first explore how to design the adaptive algorithm in the FL setting. By providing a counter-example, we prove that a simple combination of FL and adaptive methods could lead to divergence. More importantly, we provide a convergence analysis for our method and prove that our algorithm is the first adaptive FL algorithm to reach the best-known samples $O(\epsilon^{-3})$ and $O(\epsilon^{-2})$ communication rounds to find an $\epsilon$-stationary point without large batches. The experimental results on the language modeling task and image classification task with heterogeneous data demonstrate the efficiency of our algorithms.

Quantum computers promise to enhance machine learning for practical applications. Quantum machine learning for real-world data has to handle extensive amounts of high-dimensional data. However, conventional methods for measuring quantum kernels are impractical for large datasets as they scale with the square of the dataset size. Here, we measure quantum kernels using randomized measurements. The quantum computation time scales linearly with dataset size and quadratic for classical post-processing. While our method scales in general exponentially in qubit number, we gain a substantial speed-up when running on intermediate-sized quantum computers. Further, we efficiently encode high-dimensional data into quantum computers with the number of features scaling linearly with the circuit depth. The encoding is characterized by the quantum Fisher information metric and is related to the radial basis function kernel. Our approach is robust to noise via a cost-free error mitigation scheme. We demonstrate the advantages of our methods for noisy quantum computers by classifying images with the IBM quantum computer. To achieve further speedups we distribute the quantum computational tasks between different quantum computers. Our method enables benchmarking of quantum machine learning algorithms with large datasets on currently available quantum computers.

Deep learning, especially convolutional neural networks, has triggered accelerated advancements in computer vision, bringing changes into our daily practice. Furthermore, the standardized deep learning modules (also known as backbone networks), i.e., ResNet and EfficientNet, have enabled efficient and rapid development of new computer vision solutions. Yet, deep learning methods still suffer from several drawbacks. One of the most concerning problems is the high memory and computational cost, such that dedicated computing units, typically GPUs, have to be used for training and development. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a quantifiable evaluation method, the convolutional kernel redundancy measure, which is based on perceived image differences, for guiding the network structure simplification. When applying our method to the chest X-ray image classification problem with ResNet, our method can maintain the performance of the network and reduce the number of parameters from over $23$ million to approximately $128$ thousand (reducing $99.46\%$ of the parameters).

We propose a parameter-free model for estimating the price or valuation of financial derivatives like options, forwards and futures using non-supervised learning networks and Monte Carlo. Although some arbitrage-based pricing formula performs greatly on derivatives pricing like Black-Scholes on option pricing, generative model-based Monte Carlo estimation(GAN-MC) will be more accurate and holds more generalizability when lack of training samples on derivatives, underlying asset's price dynamics are unknown or the no-arbitrage conditions can not be solved analytically. We analyze the variance reduction feature of our model and to validate the potential value of the pricing model, we collect real world market derivatives data and show that our model outperforms other arbitrage-based pricing models and non-parametric machine learning models. For comparison, we estimate the price of derivatives using Black-Scholes model, ordinary least squares, radial basis function networks, multilayer perception regression, projection pursuit regression and Monte Carlo only models.

The Gaussian mechanism is one differential privacy mechanism commonly used to protect numerical data. However, it may be ill-suited to some applications because it has unbounded support and thus can produce invalid numerical answers to queries, such as negative ages or human heights in the tens of meters. One can project such private values onto valid ranges of data, though such projections lead to the accumulation of private query responses at the boundaries of such ranges, thereby harming accuracy. Motivated by the need for both privacy and accuracy over bounded domains, we present a bounded Gaussian mechanism for differential privacy, which has support only on a given region. We present both univariate and multivariate versions of this mechanism and illustrate a significant reduction in variance relative to comparable existing work.

We develop an approach for solving time-consistent risk-sensitive stochastic optimization problems using model-free reinforcement learning (RL). Specifically, we assume agents assess the risk of a sequence of random variables using dynamic convex risk measures. We employ a time-consistent dynamic programming principle to determine the value of a particular policy, and develop policy gradient update rules that aid in obtaining optimal policies. We further develop an actor-critic style algorithm using neural networks to optimize over policies. Finally, we demonstrate the performance and flexibility of our approach by applying it to three optimization problems: statistical arbitrage trading strategies, financial hedging, and obstacle avoidance robot control.

Buildings' segmentation is a fundamental task in the field of earth observation and aerial imagery analysis. Most existing deep learning-based methods in the literature can be applied to fixed or narrow-ranged spatial resolution imagery. In practical scenarios, users deal with a broad spectrum of image resolutions. Thus, a given aerial image often needs to be re-sampled to match the spatial resolution of the dataset used to train the deep learning model, which results in a degradation in segmentation performance. To overcome this, we propose a Scale-invariant Neural Network (Sci-Net) that can segment buildings present in aerial images at different spatial resolutions. Specifically, our approach leverages UNet hierarchical representations and dilated convolutions to extract fine-grained multi-scale representations. Our method significantly outperforms other state of the art models on the Open Cities AI dataset with a steady improvements margin across different resolutions.
