There is rising interest in differentiable rendering, which allows explicitly modeling geometric priors and constraints in optimization pipelines using first-order methods such as backpropagation. Incorporating such domain knowledge can lead to deep neural networks that are trained more robustly and with limited data, as well as the capability to solve ill-posed inverse problems. Existing efforts in differentiable rendering have focused on imagery from electro-optical sensors, particularly conventional RGB-imagery. In this work, we propose an approach for differentiable rendering of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery, which combines methods from 3D computer graphics with neural rendering. We demonstrate the approach on the inverse graphics problem of 3D Object Reconstruction from limited SAR imagery using high-fidelity simulated SAR data.

Video Action Recognition (VAR) is a challenging task due to its inherent complexities. Though different approaches have been explored in the literature, designing a unified framework to recognize a large number of human actions is still a challenging problem. Recently, Multi-Modal Learning (MML) has demonstrated promising results in this domain. In literature, 2D skeleton or pose modality has often been used for this task, either independently or in conjunction with the visual information (RGB modality) present in videos. However, the combination of pose, visual information, and text attributes has not been explored yet, though text and pose attributes independently have been proven to be effective in numerous computer vision tasks. In this paper, we present the first pose augmented Vision-language model (VLM) for VAR. Notably, our scheme achieves an accuracy of 92.81% and 73.02% on two popular human video action recognition benchmark datasets, UCF-101 and HMDB-51, respectively, even without any video data pre-training, and an accuracy of 96.11% and 75.75% after kinetics pre-training.

Accurate modeling of complex physical problems, such as fluid-structure interaction, requires multiphysics coupling across the interface, which often has intricate geometry and dynamic boundaries. Conventional numerical methods face challenges in handling interface conditions. Deep neural networks offer a mesh-free and flexible alternative, but they suffer from drawbacks such as time-consuming optimization and local optima. In this paper, we propose a mesh-free approach based on Randomized Neural Networks (RNNs), which avoid optimization solvers during training, making them more efficient than traditional deep neural networks. Our approach, called Local Randomized Neural Networks (LRNNs), uses different RNNs to approximate solutions in different subdomains. We discretize the interface problem into a linear system at randomly sampled points across the domain, boundary, and interface using a finite difference scheme, and then solve it by a least-square method. For time-dependent interface problems, we use a space-time approach based on LRNNs. We show the effectiveness and robustness of the LRNNs methods through numerical examples of elliptic and parabolic interface problems. We also demonstrate that our approach can handle high-dimension interface problems. Compared to conventional numerical methods, our approach achieves higher accuracy with fewer degrees of freedom, eliminates the need for complex interface meshing and fitting, and significantly reduces training time, outperforming deep neural networks.

We present the first decentralized algorithm for detecting predicates over continuous-time signals under partial synchrony. A distributed cyber-physical system (CPS) consists of a network of agents, each of which measures (or computes) a continuous-time signal. Examples include distributed industrial controllers connected over wireless networks and connected vehicles in traffic. The safety requirements of such CPS, expressed as logical predicates, must be monitored at runtime. This monitoring faces three challenges: first, every agent only knows its own signal, whereas the safety requirement is global and carries over multiple signals. Second, the agents' local clocks drift from each other, so they do not even agree on the time. Thus, it is not clear which signal values are actually synchronous to evaluate the safety predicate. Third, CPS signals are continuous-time so there are potentially uncountably many safety violations to be reported. In this paper, we present the first decentralized algorithm for detecting conjunctive predicates in this setup. Our algorithm returns all possible violations of the predicate, which is important for eliminating bugs from distributed systems regardless of actual clock drift. We prove that this detection algorithm is in the same complexity class as the detector for discrete systems. We implement our detector and validate it experimentally.

Parallel datasets are vital for performing and evaluating any kind of multilingual task. However, in the cases where one of the considered language pairs is a low-resource language, the existing top-down parallel data such as corpora are lacking in both tally and quality due to the dearth of human annotation. Therefore, for low-resource languages, it is more feasible to move in the bottom-up direction where finer granular pairs such as dictionary datasets are developed first. They may then be used for mid-level tasks such as supervised multilingual word embedding alignment. These in turn can later guide higher-level tasks in the order of aligning sentence or paragraph text corpora used for Machine Translation (MT). Even though more approachable than generating and aligning a massive corpus for a low-resource language, for the same reason of apathy from larger research entities, even these finer granular data sets are lacking for some low-resource languages. We have observed that there is no free and open dictionary data set for the low-resource language, Sinhala. Thus, in this work, we introduce three parallel English-Sinhala word dictionaries (En-Si-dict-large, En-Si-dict-filtered, En-Si-dict-FastText) which help in multilingual Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks related to English and Sinhala languages. In this paper, we explain the dataset creation pipeline as well as the experimental results of the tests we have carried out to verify the quality of the data sets. The data sets and the related scripts are available at //github.com/kasunw22/sinhala-para-dict.

Previous versions of sparse principal component analysis (PCA) have presumed that the eigen-basis (a $p \times k$ matrix) is approximately sparse. We propose a method that presumes the $p \times k$ matrix becomes approximately sparse after a $k \times k$ rotation. The simplest version of the algorithm initializes with the leading $k$ principal components. Then, the principal components are rotated with an $k \times k$ orthogonal rotation to make them approximately sparse. Finally, soft-thresholding is applied to the rotated principal components. This approach differs from prior approaches because it uses an orthogonal rotation to approximate a sparse basis. One consequence is that a sparse component need not to be a leading eigenvector, but rather a mixture of them. In this way, we propose a new (rotated) basis for sparse PCA. In addition, our approach avoids "deflation" and multiple tuning parameters required for that. Our sparse PCA framework is versatile; for example, it extends naturally to a two-way analysis of a data matrix for simultaneous dimensionality reduction of rows and columns. We provide evidence showing that for the same level of sparsity, the proposed sparse PCA method is more stable and can explain more variance compared to alternative methods. Through three applications -- sparse coding of images, analysis of transcriptome sequencing data, and large-scale clustering of social networks, we demonstrate the modern usefulness of sparse PCA in exploring multivariate data.

Matching has been widely used to mimic a randomized experiment with observational data. Ideally, treated subjects are exactly matched with controls for the covariates, and randomization-based estimation can then be conducted as in a randomized experiment (assuming no unobserved covariates). However, when there exists continuous covariates or many covariates, matching typically should be inexact. Previous studies have routinely ignored inexact matching in the downstream randomization-based estimation as long as some covariate balance criteria are satisfied, which can cause severe estimation bias. Built on the covariate-adaptive randomization inference framework, in this research note, we propose two new classes of bias-corrected randomization-based estimators to reduce estimation bias due to inexact matching: the bias-corrected maximum $p$-value estimator for the constant treatment effect and the bias-corrected difference-in-means estimator for the average treatment effect. Our simulation results show that the proposed bias-corrected estimators can effectively reduce estimation bias due to inexact matching.

Federated Learning (FL) is a decentralized machine-learning paradigm, in which a global server iteratively averages the model parameters of local users without accessing their data. User heterogeneity has imposed significant challenges to FL, which can incur drifted global models that are slow to converge. Knowledge Distillation has recently emerged to tackle this issue, by refining the server model using aggregated knowledge from heterogeneous users, other than directly averaging their model parameters. This approach, however, depends on a proxy dataset, making it impractical unless such a prerequisite is satisfied. Moreover, the ensemble knowledge is not fully utilized to guide local model learning, which may in turn affect the quality of the aggregated model. Inspired by the prior art, we propose a data-free knowledge distillation} approach to address heterogeneous FL, where the server learns a lightweight generator to ensemble user information in a data-free manner, which is then broadcasted to users, regulating local training using the learned knowledge as an inductive bias. Empirical studies powered by theoretical implications show that, our approach facilitates FL with better generalization performance using fewer communication rounds, compared with the state-of-the-art.

Data augmentation has been widely used to improve generalizability of machine learning models. However, comparatively little work studies data augmentation for graphs. This is largely due to the complex, non-Euclidean structure of graphs, which limits possible manipulation operations. Augmentation operations commonly used in vision and language have no analogs for graphs. Our work studies graph data augmentation for graph neural networks (GNNs) in the context of improving semi-supervised node-classification. We discuss practical and theoretical motivations, considerations and strategies for graph data augmentation. Our work shows that neural edge predictors can effectively encode class-homophilic structure to promote intra-class edges and demote inter-class edges in given graph structure, and our main contribution introduces the GAug graph data augmentation framework, which leverages these insights to improve performance in GNN-based node classification via edge prediction. Extensive experiments on multiple benchmarks show that augmentation via GAug improves performance across GNN architectures and datasets.

Multi-relation Question Answering is a challenging task, due to the requirement of elaborated analysis on questions and reasoning over multiple fact triples in knowledge base. In this paper, we present a novel model called Interpretable Reasoning Network that employs an interpretable, hop-by-hop reasoning process for question answering. The model dynamically decides which part of an input question should be analyzed at each hop; predicts a relation that corresponds to the current parsed results; utilizes the predicted relation to update the question representation and the state of the reasoning process; and then drives the next-hop reasoning. Experiments show that our model yields state-of-the-art results on two datasets. More interestingly, the model can offer traceable and observable intermediate predictions for reasoning analysis and failure diagnosis.
