No-regret learners seek to minimize the difference between the loss they cumulated through the actions they played, and the loss they would have cumulated in hindsight had they consistently modified their behavior according to some strategy transformation function. The size of the set of transformations considered by the learner determines a natural notion of rationality. As the set of transformations each learner considers grows, the strategies played by the learners recover more complex game-theoretic equilibria, including correlated equilibria in normal-form games and extensive-form correlated equilibria in extensive-form games. At the extreme, a no-swap-regret agent is one that minimizes regret against the set of all functions from the set of strategies to itself. While it is known that the no-swap-regret condition can be attained efficiently in nonsequential (normal-form) games, understanding what is the strongest notion of rationality that can be attained efficiently in the worst case in sequential (extensive-form) games is a longstanding open problem. In this paper we provide a positive result, by showing that it is possible, in any sequential game, to retain polynomial-time (in the game tree size) iterations while achieving sublinear regret with respect to all linear transformations of the mixed strategy space, a notion called no-linear-swap regret. This notion of hindsight rationality is as strong as no-swap-regret in nonsequential games, and stronger than no-trigger-regret in sequential games -- thereby proving the existence of a subset of extensive-form correlated equilibria robust to linear deviations, which we call linear-deviation correlated equilibria, that can be approached efficiently.

We study the initial beam acquisition problem in millimeter wave (mm-wave) networks from the perspective of best arm identification in multi-armed bandits (MABs). For the stationary environment, we propose a novel algorithm called concurrent beam exploration, CBE, in which multiple beams are grouped based on the beam indices and are simultaneously activated to detect the presence of the user. The best beam is then identified using a Hamming decoding strategy. For the case of orthogonal and highly directional thin beams, we characterize the performance of CBE in terms of the probability of missed detection and false alarm in a beam group (BG). Leveraging this, we derive the probability of beam selection error and prove that CBE outperforms the state-of-the-art strategies in this metric. Then, for the abruptly changing environments, e.g., in the case of moving blockages, we characterize the performance of the classical sequential halving (SH) algorithm. In particular, we derive the conditions on the distribution of the change for which the beam selection error is exponentially bounded. In case the change is restricted to a subset of the beams, we devise a strategy called K-sequential halving and exhaustive search, K-SHES, that leads to an improved bound for the beam selection error as compared to SH. This policy is particularly useful when a near-optimal beam becomes optimal during the beam-selection procedure due to abruptly changing channel conditions. Finally, we demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed scheme by employing it in a tandem beam refinement and data transmission scheme.

One of the fundamental steps toward understanding a complex system is identifying variation at the scale of the system's components that is most relevant to behavior on a macroscopic scale. Mutual information is a natural means of linking variation across scales of a system due to its independence of the particular functional relationship between variables. However, estimating mutual information given high-dimensional, continuous-valued data is notoriously difficult, and the desideratum -- to reveal important variation in a comprehensible manner -- is only readily achieved through exhaustive search. Here we propose a practical, efficient, and broadly applicable methodology to decompose the information contained in a set of measurements by lossily compressing each measurement with machine learning. Guided by the distributed information bottleneck as a learning objective, the information decomposition sorts variation in the measurements of the system state by relevance to specified macroscale behavior, revealing the most important subsets of measurements for different amounts of predictive information. Additional granularity is achieved by inspection of the learned compression schemes: the variation transmitted during compression is composed of distinctions among measurement values that are most relevant to the macroscale behavior. We focus our analysis on two paradigmatic complex systems: a Boolean circuit and an amorphous material undergoing plastic deformation. In both examples, specific bits of entropy are identified out of the high entropy of the system state as most related to macroscale behavior for insight about the connection between micro- and macro- in the complex system. The identification of meaningful variation in data, with the full generality brought by information theory, is made practical for the study of complex systems.

In this paper, we propose a general approach for explicit a posteriori error representation for convex minimization problems using basic convex duality relations. Exploiting discrete orthogonality relations in the space of element-wise constant vector fields as well as a discrete integration-by-parts formula between the Crouzeix-Raviart and the Raviart-Thomas element, all convex duality relations are transferred to a discrete level, making the explicit a posteriori error representation -- initially based on continuous arguments only -- practicable from a numerical point of view. In addition, we provide a generalized Marini formula for the primal solution that determines a discrete primal solution in terms of a given discrete dual solution. We benchmark all these concepts via the Rudin-Osher-Fatemi model. This leads to an adaptive algorithm that yields a (quasi-optimal) linear convergence rate.

We study the problem of deploying a fleet of mobile robots to service tasks that arrive stochastically over time and at random locations in an environment. This is known as the Dynamic Vehicle Routing Problem (DVRP) and requires robots to allocate incoming tasks among themselves and find an optimal sequence for each robot. State-of-the-art approaches only consider average wait times and focus on high-load scenarios where the arrival rate of tasks approaches the limit of what can be handled by the robots while keeping the queue of unserviced tasks bounded, i.e., stable. To ensure stability, these approaches repeatedly compute minimum distance tours over a set of newly arrived tasks. This paper is aimed at addressing the missing policies for moderate-load scenarios, where quality of service can be improved by prioritizing long-waiting tasks. We introduce a novel DVRP policy based on a cost function that takes the $p$-norm over accumulated wait times and show it guarantees stability even in high-load scenarios. We demonstrate that the proposed policy outperforms the state-of-the-art in both mean and $95^{th}$ percentile wait times in moderate-load scenarios through simulation experiments in the Euclidean plane as well as using real-world data for city scale service requests.

Positive linear programs (LPs) model many graph and operations research problems. One can solve for a $(1+\epsilon)$-approximation for positive LPs, for any selected $\epsilon$, in polylogarithmic depth and near-linear work via variations of the multiplicative weight update (MWU) method. Despite extensive theoretical work on these algorithms through the decades, their empirical performance is not well understood. In this work, we implement and test an efficient parallel algorithm for solving positive LP relaxations, and apply it to graph problems such as densest subgraph, bipartite matching, vertex cover and dominating set. We accelerate the algorithm via a new step size search heuristic. Our implementation uses sparse linear algebra optimization techniques such as fusion of vector operations and use of sparse format. Furthermore, we devise an implicit representation for graph incidence constraints. We demonstrate the parallel scalability with the use of threading OpenMP and MPI on the Stampede2 supercomputer. We compare this implementation with exact libraries and specialized libraries for the above problems in order to evaluate MWU's practical standing for both accuracy and performance among other methods. Our results show this implementation is faster than general purpose LP solvers (IBM CPLEX, Gurobi) in all of our experiments, and in some instances, outperforms state-of-the-art specialized parallel graph algorithms.

With social media, the flow of uncertified information is constantly increasing, with the risk that more people will trust low-credible information sources. To design effective strategies against this phenomenon, it is of paramount importance to understand how people end up believing one source rather than another. To this end, we propose a realistic and cognitively affordable heuristic mechanism for opinion formation inspired by the well-known belief propagation algorithm. In our model, an individual observing a network of information sources must infer which of them are reliable and which are not. We study how the individual's ability to identify credible sources, and hence to form correct opinions, is affected by the noise in the system, intended as the amount of disorder in the relationships between the information sources in the network. We find numerically and analytically that there is a critical noise level above which it is impossible for the individual to detect the nature of the sources. Moreover, by comparing our opinion formation model with existing ones in the literature, we show under what conditions people's opinions can be reliable. Overall, our findings imply that the increasing complexity of the information environment is a catalyst for misinformation channels.

Interpretability methods are developed to understand the working mechanisms of black-box models, which is crucial to their responsible deployment. Fulfilling this goal requires both that the explanations generated by these methods are correct and that people can easily and reliably understand them. While the former has been addressed in prior work, the latter is often overlooked, resulting in informal model understanding derived from a handful of local explanations. In this paper, we introduce explanation summary (ExSum), a mathematical framework for quantifying model understanding, and propose metrics for its quality assessment. On two domains, ExSum highlights various limitations in the current practice, helps develop accurate model understanding, and reveals easily overlooked properties of the model. We also connect understandability to other properties of explanations such as human alignment, robustness, and counterfactual minimality and plausibility.

Fast developing artificial intelligence (AI) technology has enabled various applied systems deployed in the real world, impacting people's everyday lives. However, many current AI systems were found vulnerable to imperceptible attacks, biased against underrepresented groups, lacking in user privacy protection, etc., which not only degrades user experience but erodes the society's trust in all AI systems. In this review, we strive to provide AI practitioners a comprehensive guide towards building trustworthy AI systems. We first introduce the theoretical framework of important aspects of AI trustworthiness, including robustness, generalization, explainability, transparency, reproducibility, fairness, privacy preservation, alignment with human values, and accountability. We then survey leading approaches in these aspects in the industry. To unify the current fragmented approaches towards trustworthy AI, we propose a systematic approach that considers the entire lifecycle of AI systems, ranging from data acquisition to model development, to development and deployment, finally to continuous monitoring and governance. In this framework, we offer concrete action items to practitioners and societal stakeholders (e.g., researchers and regulators) to improve AI trustworthiness. Finally, we identify key opportunities and challenges in the future development of trustworthy AI systems, where we identify the need for paradigm shift towards comprehensive trustworthy AI systems.

This book develops an effective theory approach to understanding deep neural networks of practical relevance. Beginning from a first-principles component-level picture of networks, we explain how to determine an accurate description of the output of trained networks by solving layer-to-layer iteration equations and nonlinear learning dynamics. A main result is that the predictions of networks are described by nearly-Gaussian distributions, with the depth-to-width aspect ratio of the network controlling the deviations from the infinite-width Gaussian description. We explain how these effectively-deep networks learn nontrivial representations from training and more broadly analyze the mechanism of representation learning for nonlinear models. From a nearly-kernel-methods perspective, we find that the dependence of such models' predictions on the underlying learning algorithm can be expressed in a simple and universal way. To obtain these results, we develop the notion of representation group flow (RG flow) to characterize the propagation of signals through the network. By tuning networks to criticality, we give a practical solution to the exploding and vanishing gradient problem. We further explain how RG flow leads to near-universal behavior and lets us categorize networks built from different activation functions into universality classes. Altogether, we show that the depth-to-width ratio governs the effective model complexity of the ensemble of trained networks. By using information-theoretic techniques, we estimate the optimal aspect ratio at which we expect the network to be practically most useful and show how residual connections can be used to push this scale to arbitrary depths. With these tools, we can learn in detail about the inductive bias of architectures, hyperparameters, and optimizers.
