We propose Characteristic-Neural Ordinary Differential Equations (C-NODEs), a framework for extending Neural Ordinary Differential Equations (NODEs) beyond ODEs. While NODEs model the evolution of a latent variables as the solution to an ODE, C-NODE models the evolution of the latent variables as the solution of a family of first-order quasi-linear partial differential equations (PDEs) along curves on which the PDEs reduce to ODEs, referred to as characteristic curves. This in turn allows the application of the standard frameworks for solving ODEs, namely the adjoint method. Learning optimal characteristic curves for given tasks improves the performance and computational efficiency, compared to state of the art NODE models. We prove that the C-NODE framework extends the classical NODE on classification tasks by demonstrating explicit C-NODE representable functions not expressible by NODEs. Additionally, we present C-NODE-based continuous normalizing flows, which describe the density evolution of latent variables along multiple dimensions. Empirical results demonstrate the improvements provided by the proposed method for classification and density estimation on CIFAR-10, SVHN, and MNIST datasets under a similar computational budget as the existing NODE methods. The results also provide empirical evidence that the learned curves improve the efficiency of the system through a lower number of parameters and function evaluations compared with baselines.

The goal of model compression is to reduce the size of a large neural network while retaining a comparable performance. As a result, computation and memory costs in resource-limited applications may be significantly reduced by dropping redundant weights, neurons, or layers. There have been many model compression algorithms proposed that provide impressive empirical success. However, a theoretical understanding of model compression is still limited. One problem is understanding if a network is more compressible than another of the same structure. Another problem is quantifying how much one can prune a network with theoretically guaranteed accuracy degradation. In this work, we propose to use the sparsity-sensitive $\ell_q$-norm ($0<q<1$) to characterize compressibility and provide a relationship between soft sparsity of the weights in the network and the degree of compression with a controlled accuracy degradation bound. We also develop adaptive algorithms for pruning each neuron in the network informed by our theory. Numerical studies demonstrate the promising performance of the proposed methods compared with standard pruning algorithms.

Many real-world systems can be represented as graphs where the different entities are presented by nodes and their interactions by edges. An important task in studying large datasets is graph clustering. While there has been a lot of work on graph clustering using the connectivity between the nodes, many real-world networks also have node attributes. Clustering attributed graphs requires joint modeling of graph structure and node attributes. Recent work has focused on graph convolutional networks and graph convolutional filters to combine structural and content information. However, these methods are mostly limited to lowpass filtering and do not explicitly optimize the filters for the clustering task. In this paper, we introduce a graph signal processing based approach, where we design polynomial graph filters optimized for clustering. The proposed approach is formulated as a two-step iterative optimization problem where graph filters that are interpretable and optimal for the given data are learned while maximizing the separation between different clusters. The proposed approach is evaluated on attributed networks and compared to the state-of-the-art graph convolutional network approaches.

Outstanding achievements of graph neural networks for spatiotemporal time series analysis show that relational constraints introduce an effective inductive bias into neural forecasting architectures. Often, however, the relational information characterizing the underlying data-generating process is unavailable and the practitioner is left with the problem of inferring from data which relational graph to use in the subsequent processing stages. We propose novel, principled - yet practical - probabilistic score-based methods that learn the relational dependencies as distributions over graphs while maximizing end-to-end the performance at task. The proposed graph learning framework is based on consolidated variance reduction techniques for Monte Carlo score-based gradient estimation, is theoretically grounded, and, as we show, effective in practice. In this paper, we focus on the time series forecasting problem and show that, by tailoring the gradient estimators to the graph learning problem, we are able to achieve state-of-the-art performance while controlling the sparsity of the learned graph and the computational scalability. We empirically assess the effectiveness of the proposed method on synthetic and real-world benchmarks, showing that the proposed solution can be used as a stand-alone graph identification procedure as well as a graph learning component of an end-to-end forecasting architecture.

We study discrete distribution estimation under user-level local differential privacy (LDP). In user-level $\varepsilon$-LDP, each user has $m\ge1$ samples and the privacy of all $m$ samples must be preserved simultaneously. We resolve the following dilemma: While on the one hand having more samples per user should provide more information about the underlying distribution, on the other hand, guaranteeing the privacy of all $m$ samples should make the estimation task more difficult. We obtain tight bounds for this problem under almost all parameter regimes. Perhaps surprisingly, we show that in suitable parameter regimes, having $m$ samples per user is equivalent to having $m$ times more users, each with only one sample. Our results demonstrate interesting phase transitions for $m$ and the privacy parameter $\varepsilon$ in the estimation risk. Finally, connecting with recent results on shuffled DP, we show that combined with random shuffling, our algorithm leads to optimal error guarantees (up to logarithmic factors) under the central model of user-level DP in certain parameter regimes. We provide several simulations to verify our theoretical findings.

The increasing size of data generated by smartphones and IoT devices motivated the development of Federated Learning (FL), a framework for on-device collaborative training of machine learning models. First efforts in FL focused on learning a single global model with good average performance across clients, but the global model may be arbitrarily bad for a given client, due to the inherent heterogeneity of local data distributions. Federated multi-task learning (MTL) approaches can learn personalized models by formulating an opportune penalized optimization problem. The penalization term can capture complex relations among personalized models, but eschews clear statistical assumptions about local data distributions. In this work, we propose to study federated MTL under the flexible assumption that each local data distribution is a mixture of unknown underlying distributions. This assumption encompasses most of the existing personalized FL approaches and leads to federated EM-like algorithms for both client-server and fully decentralized settings. Moreover, it provides a principled way to serve personalized models to clients not seen at training time. The algorithms' convergence is analyzed through a novel federated surrogate optimization framework, which can be of general interest. Experimental results on FL benchmarks show that our approach provides models with higher accuracy and fairness than state-of-the-art methods.

In this paper, we deal with a general distributed constrained online learning problem with privacy over time-varying networks, where a class of nondecomposable objective functions are considered. Under this setting, each node only controls a part of the global decision variable, and the goal of all nodes is to collaboratively minimize the global objective over a time horizon $T$ while guarantees the security of the transmitted information. For such problems, we first design a novel generic algorithm framework, named as DPSDA, of differentially private distributed online learning using the Laplace mechanism and the stochastic variants of dual averaging method. Then, we propose two algorithms, named as DPSDA-C and DPSDA-PS, under this framework. Theoretical results show that both algorithms attain an expected regret upper bound in $\mathcal{O}( \sqrt{T} )$ when the objective function is convex, which matches the best utility achievable by cutting-edge algorithms. Finally, numerical experiment results on both real-world and randomly generated datasets verify the effectiveness of our algorithms.

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are powerful deep learning methods for Non-Euclidean data. Popular GNNs are message-passing algorithms (MPNNs) that aggregate and combine signals in a local graph neighborhood. However, shallow MPNNs tend to miss long-range signals and perform poorly on some heterophilous graphs, while deep MPNNs can suffer from issues like over-smoothing or over-squashing. To mitigate such issues, existing works typically borrow normalization techniques from training neural networks on Euclidean data or modify the graph structures. Yet these approaches are not well-understood theoretically and could increase the overall computational complexity. In this work, we draw inspirations from spectral graph embedding and propose $\texttt{PowerEmbed}$ -- a simple layer-wise normalization technique to boost MPNNs. We show $\texttt{PowerEmbed}$ can provably express the top-$k$ leading eigenvectors of the graph operator, which prevents over-smoothing and is agnostic to the graph topology; meanwhile, it produces a list of representations ranging from local features to global signals, which avoids over-squashing. We apply $\texttt{PowerEmbed}$ in a wide range of simulated and real graphs and demonstrate its competitive performance, particularly for heterophilous graphs.

Graph neural networks (GNNs) are a type of deep learning models that learning over graphs, and have been successfully applied in many domains. Despite the effectiveness of GNNs, it is still challenging for GNNs to efficiently scale to large graphs. As a remedy, distributed computing becomes a promising solution of training large-scale GNNs, since it is able to provide abundant computing resources. However, the dependency of graph structure increases the difficulty of achieving high-efficiency distributed GNN training, which suffers from the massive communication and workload imbalance. In recent years, many efforts have been made on distributed GNN training, and an array of training algorithms and systems have been proposed. Yet, there is a lack of systematic review on the optimization techniques from graph processing to distributed execution. In this survey, we analyze three major challenges in distributed GNN training that are massive feature communication, the loss of model accuracy and workload imbalance. Then we introduce a new taxonomy for the optimization techniques in distributed GNN training that address the above challenges. The new taxonomy classifies existing techniques into four categories that are GNN data partition, GNN batch generation, GNN execution model, and GNN communication protocol.We carefully discuss the techniques in each category. In the end, we summarize existing distributed GNN systems for multi-GPUs, GPU-clusters and CPU-clusters, respectively, and give a discussion about the future direction on scalable GNNs.

The aim of this work is to develop a fully-distributed algorithmic framework for training graph convolutional networks (GCNs). The proposed method is able to exploit the meaningful relational structure of the input data, which are collected by a set of agents that communicate over a sparse network topology. After formulating the centralized GCN training problem, we first show how to make inference in a distributed scenario where the underlying data graph is split among different agents. Then, we propose a distributed gradient descent procedure to solve the GCN training problem. The resulting model distributes computation along three lines: during inference, during back-propagation, and during optimization. Convergence to stationary solutions of the GCN training problem is also established under mild conditions. Finally, we propose an optimization criterion to design the communication topology between agents in order to match with the graph describing data relationships. A wide set of numerical results validate our proposal. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work combining graph convolutional neural networks with distributed optimization.
