We consider the identification of spatially distributed parameters under $H^1$ regularization. Solving the associated minimization problem by Gauss-Newton iteration results in linearized problems to be solved in each step that can be cast as boundary value problems involving a low-rank modification of the Laplacian. Using algebraic multigrid as a fast Laplace solver, the Sherman-Morrison-Woodbury formula can be employed to construct a preconditioner for these linear problems which exhibits excellent scaling w.r.t. the relevant problem parameters. We first develop this approach in the functional setting, thus obtaining a consistent methodology for selecting boundary conditions that arise from the $H^1$ regularization. We then construct a method for solving the discrete linear systems based on combining any fast Poisson solver with the Woodbury formula. The efficacy of this method is then demonstrated with scaling experiments. These are carried out for a common nonlinear parameter identification problem arising in electrical resistivity tomography.

This paper examines the effectiveness of several forecasting methods for predicting inflation, focusing on aggregating disaggregated forecasts - also known in the literature as the bottom-up approach. Taking the Brazilian case as an application, we consider different disaggregation levels for inflation and employ a range of traditional time series techniques as well as linear and nonlinear machine learning (ML) models to deal with a larger number of predictors. For many forecast horizons, the aggregation of disaggregated forecasts performs just as well survey-based expectations and models that generate forecasts using the aggregate directly. Overall, ML methods outperform traditional time series models in predictive accuracy, with outstanding performance in forecasting disaggregates. Our results reinforce the benefits of using models in a data-rich environment for inflation forecasting, including aggregating disaggregated forecasts from ML techniques, mainly during volatile periods. Starting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the random forest model based on both aggregate and disaggregated inflation achieves remarkable predictive performance at intermediate and longer horizons.

We consider a general linear parabolic problem with extended time boundary conditions (including initial value problems and periodic ones), and approximate it by the implicit Euler scheme in time and the Gradient Discretisation method in space; the latter is in fact a class of methods that includes conforming and nonconforming finite elements, discontinuous Galerkin methods and several others. The main result is an error estimate which holds without supplementary regularity hypothesis on the solution. This result states that the approximation error has the same order as the sum of the interpolation error and the conformity error. The proof of this result relies on an inf-sup inequality in Hilbert spaces which can be used both in the continuous and the discrete frameworks. The error estimate result is illustrated by numerical examples with low regularity of the solution.

MinRank is an NP-complete problem in linear algebra whose characteristics make it attractive to build post-quantum cryptographic primitives. Several MinRank-based digital signature schemes have been proposed. In particular, two of them, MIRA and MiRitH, have been submitted to the NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization Process. In this paper, we propose a key-generation algorithm for MinRank-based schemes that reduces the size of the public key to about 50% of the size of the public key generated by the previous best (in terms of public-key size) algorithm. Precisely, the size of the public key generated by our algorithm sits in the range of 328-676 bits for security levels of 128-256 bits. We also prove that our algorithm is as secure as the previous ones.

In this paper we develop a numerical method for efficiently approximating solutions of certain Zakai equations in high dimensions. The key idea is to transform a given Zakai SPDE into a PDE with random coefficients. We show that under suitable regularity assumptions on the coefficients of the Zakai equation, the corresponding random PDE admits a solution random field which, for almost all realizations of the random coefficients, can be written as a classical solution of a linear parabolic PDE. This makes it possible to apply the Feynman--Kac formula to obtain an efficient Monte Carlo scheme for computing approximate solutions of Zakai equations. The approach achieves good results in up to 25 dimensions with fast run times.

Combining information both within and between sample realizations, we propose a simple estimator for the local regularity of surfaces in the functional data framework. The independently generated surfaces are measured with errors at possibly random discrete times. Non-asymptotic exponential bounds for the concentration of the regularity estimators are derived. An indicator for anisotropy is proposed and an exponential bound of its risk is derived. Two applications are proposed. We first consider the class of multi-fractional, bi-dimensional, Brownian sheets with domain deformation, and study the nonparametric estimation of the deformation. As a second application, we build minimax optimal, bivariate kernel estimators for the reconstruction of the surfaces.

A central problem in computational statistics is to convert a procedure for sampling combinatorial from an objects into a procedure for counting those objects, and vice versa. Weconsider sampling problems coming from *Gibbs distributions*, which are probability distributions of the form $\mu^\Omega_\beta(\omega) \propto e^{\beta H(\omega)}$ for $\beta$ in an interval $[\beta_\min, \beta_\max]$ and $H( \omega ) \in \{0 \} \cup [1, n]$. The *partition function* is the normalization factor $Z(\beta)=\sum_{\omega \in\Omega}e^{\beta H(\omega)}$. Two important parameters are the log partition ratio $q = \log \tfrac{Z(\beta_\max)}{Z(\beta_\min)}$ and the vector of counts $c_x = |H^{-1}(x)|$. Our first result is an algorithm to estimate the counts $c_x$ using roughly $\tilde O( \frac{q}{\epsilon^2})$ samples for general Gibbs distributions and $\tilde O( \frac{n^2}{\epsilon^2} )$ samples for integer-valued distributions (ignoring some second-order terms and parameters). We show this is optimal up to logarithmic factors. We illustrate with improved algorithms for counting connected subgraphs and perfect matchings in a graph. We develop a key subroutine for global estimation of the partition function. Specifically, we produce a data structure to estimate $Z(\beta)$ for \emph{all} values $\beta$, without further samples. Constructing the data structure requires $O(\frac{q \log n}{\epsilon^2})$ samples for general Gibbs distributions and $O(\frac{n^2 \log n}{\epsilon^2} + n \log q)$ samples for integer-valued distributions. This improves over a prior algorithm of Kolmogorov (2018) which computes the single point estimate $Z(\beta_\max)$ using $\tilde O(\frac{q}{\epsilon^2})$ samples. We also show that this complexity is optimal as a function of $n$ and $q$ up to logarithmic terms.

Convolutional neural networks have made significant progresses in edge detection by progressively exploring the context and semantic features. However, local details are gradually suppressed with the enlarging of receptive fields. Recently, vision transformer has shown excellent capability in capturing long-range dependencies. Inspired by this, we propose a novel transformer-based edge detector, \emph{Edge Detection TransformER (EDTER)}, to extract clear and crisp object boundaries and meaningful edges by exploiting the full image context information and detailed local cues simultaneously. EDTER works in two stages. In Stage I, a global transformer encoder is used to capture long-range global context on coarse-grained image patches. Then in Stage II, a local transformer encoder works on fine-grained patches to excavate the short-range local cues. Each transformer encoder is followed by an elaborately designed Bi-directional Multi-Level Aggregation decoder to achieve high-resolution features. Finally, the global context and local cues are combined by a Feature Fusion Module and fed into a decision head for edge prediction. Extensive experiments on BSDS500, NYUDv2, and Multicue demonstrate the superiority of EDTER in comparison with state-of-the-arts.

Deep learning is usually described as an experiment-driven field under continuous criticizes of lacking theoretical foundations. This problem has been partially fixed by a large volume of literature which has so far not been well organized. This paper reviews and organizes the recent advances in deep learning theory. The literature is categorized in six groups: (1) complexity and capacity-based approaches for analyzing the generalizability of deep learning; (2) stochastic differential equations and their dynamic systems for modelling stochastic gradient descent and its variants, which characterize the optimization and generalization of deep learning, partially inspired by Bayesian inference; (3) the geometrical structures of the loss landscape that drives the trajectories of the dynamic systems; (4) the roles of over-parameterization of deep neural networks from both positive and negative perspectives; (5) theoretical foundations of several special structures in network architectures; and (6) the increasingly intensive concerns in ethics and security and their relationships with generalizability.

In recent years, object detection has experienced impressive progress. Despite these improvements, there is still a significant gap in the performance between the detection of small and large objects. We analyze the current state-of-the-art model, Mask-RCNN, on a challenging dataset, MS COCO. We show that the overlap between small ground-truth objects and the predicted anchors is much lower than the expected IoU threshold. We conjecture this is due to two factors; (1) only a few images are containing small objects, and (2) small objects do not appear enough even within each image containing them. We thus propose to oversample those images with small objects and augment each of those images by copy-pasting small objects many times. It allows us to trade off the quality of the detector on large objects with that on small objects. We evaluate different pasting augmentation strategies, and ultimately, we achieve 9.7\% relative improvement on the instance segmentation and 7.1\% on the object detection of small objects, compared to the current state of the art method on MS COCO.
