Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) suffers from inherent limitations that can degrade the quality of reconstructed results, such as noise, artifacts and incomplete data acquisition caused by sparse sampling or partial array detection. In this study, we proposed a new optimization method for both two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) PAI reconstruction results, called the regularized iteration method with shape prior. The shape prior is a probability matrix derived from the reconstruction results of multiple sets of random partial array signals in a computational imaging system using any reconstruction algorithm, such as Delay-and-Sum (DAS) and Back-Projection (BP). In the probability matrix, high-probability locations indicate high consistency among multiple reconstruction results at those positions, suggesting a high likelihood of representing the true imaging results. In contrast, low-probability locations indicate higher randomness, leaning more towards noise or artifacts. As a shape prior, this probability matrix guides the iteration and regularization of the entire array signal reconstruction results using the original reconstruction algorithm (the same algorithm for processing random partial array signals). The method takes advantage of the property that the similarity of the object to be imitated is higher than that of noise or artifact in the results reconstructed by multiple sets of random partial array signals of the entire imaging system. The probability matrix is taken as a prerequisite for improving the original reconstruction results, and the optimizer is used to further iterate the imaging results to remove noise and artifacts and improve the imaging fidelity. Especially in the case involving sparse view which brings more artifacts, the effect is remarkable. Simulation and real experiments have both demonstrated the superiority of this method.

Inductive reasoning - the process of inferring general rules from a small number of observations - is a fundamental aspect of human intelligence. Recent works suggest that large language models (LLMs) can engage in inductive reasoning by sampling multiple hypotheses about the rules and selecting the one that best explains the observations. However, due to the IID sampling, semantically redundant hypotheses are frequently generated, leading to significant wastage of compute. In this paper, we 1) demonstrate that increasing the temperature to enhance the diversity is limited due to text degeneration issue, and 2) propose a novel method to improve the diversity while maintaining text quality. We first analyze the effect of increasing the temperature parameter, which is regarded as the LLM's diversity control, on IID hypotheses. Our analysis shows that as temperature rises, diversity and accuracy of hypotheses increase up to a certain point, but this trend saturates due to text degeneration. To generate hypotheses that are more semantically diverse and of higher quality, we propose a novel approach inspired by human inductive reasoning, which we call Mixture of Concepts (MoC). When applied to several inductive reasoning benchmarks, MoC demonstrated significant performance improvements compared to standard IID sampling and other approaches.

It is widely recognised that semiparametric efficient estimation can be hard to achieve in practice: estimators that are in theory efficient may require unattainable levels of accuracy for the estimation of complex nuisance functions. As a consequence, estimators deployed on real datasets are often chosen in a somewhat ad hoc fashion, and may suffer high variance. We study this gap between theory and practice in the context of a broad collection of semiparametric regression models that includes the generalised partially linear model. We advocate using estimators that are robust in the sense that they enjoy $\sqrt{n}$-consistent uniformly over a sufficiently rich class of distributions characterised by certain conditional expectations being estimable by user-chosen machine learning methods. We show that even asking for locally uniform estimation within such a class narrows down possible estimators to those parametrised by certain weight functions. Conversely, we show that such estimators do provide the desired uniform consistency and introduce a novel random forest-based procedure for estimating the optimal weights. We prove that the resulting estimator recovers a notion of $\textbf{ro}$bust $\textbf{s}$emiparametric $\textbf{e}$fficiency (ROSE) and provides a practical alternative to semiparametric efficient estimators. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our ROSE random forest estimator in a variety of semiparametric settings on simulated and real-world data.

Human perception integrates multiple modalities, such as vision, hearing, and language, into a unified understanding of the surrounding reality. While recent multimodal models have achieved significant progress by aligning pairs of modalities via contrastive learning, their solutions are unsuitable when scaling to multiple modalities. These models typically align each modality to a designated anchor without ensuring the alignment of all modalities with each other, leading to suboptimal performance in tasks requiring a joint understanding of multiple modalities. In this paper, we structurally rethink the pairwise conventional approach to multimodal learning and we present the novel Gramian Representation Alignment Measure (GRAM), which overcomes the above-mentioned limitations. GRAM learns and then aligns $n$ modalities directly in the higher-dimensional space in which modality embeddings lie by minimizing the Gramian volume of the $k$-dimensional parallelotope spanned by the modality vectors, ensuring the geometric alignment of all modalities simultaneously. GRAM can replace cosine similarity in any downstream method, holding for 2 to $n$ modality and providing more meaningful alignment with respect to previous similarity measures. The novel GRAM-based contrastive loss function enhances the alignment of multimodal models in the higher-dimensional embedding space, leading to new state-of-the-art performance in downstream tasks such as video-audio-text retrieval and audio-video classification. The project page, the code, and the pretrained models are available at //ispamm.github.io/GRAM/.

Optimizing spectral graph neural networks (GNNs) remains a critical challenge in the field, yet the underlying processes are not well understood. In this paper, we investigate the inherent differences between graph convolution parameters and feature transformation parameters in spectral GNNs and their impact on the optimization landscape. Our analysis reveals that these differences contribute to a poorly conditioned problem, resulting in suboptimal performance. To address this issue, we introduce the concept of the block condition number of the Hessian matrix, which characterizes the difficulty of poorly conditioned problems in spectral GNN optimization. We then propose an asymmetric learning approach, dynamically preconditioning gradients during training to alleviate poorly conditioned problems. Theoretically, we demonstrate that asymmetric learning can reduce block condition numbers, facilitating easier optimization. Extensive experiments on eighteen benchmark datasets show that asymmetric learning consistently improves the performance of spectral GNNs for both heterophilic and homophilic graphs. This improvement is especially notable for heterophilic graphs, where the optimization process is generally more complex than for homophilic graphs.

We embark on a study of the consistent answers of queries over databases annotated with values from a naturally ordered positive semiring. In this setting, the consistent answers of a query are defined as the minimum of the semiring values that the query takes over all repairs of an inconsistent database. The main focus is on self-join free conjunctive queries and key constraints, which is the most extensively studied case of consistent query answering over standard databases. We introduce a variant of first-order logic with a limited form of negation, define suitable semiring semantics, and then establish the main result of the paper: the consistent query answers of a self-join free conjunctive query under key constraints are rewritable in this logic if and only if the attack graph of the query contains no cycles. This result generalizes an analogous result of Koutris and Wijsen for ordinary databases, but also yields new results for a multitude of semirings, including the bag semiring, the tropical semiring, and the fuzzy semiring. We also show that there are self-join free conjunctive queries with a cyclic attack graph whose certain answers under bag semantics have no polynomial-time constant-approximation algorithm, unless P = NP.

Motivated by the change-making problem, we extend the notion of greediness to sets of positive integers not containing the element $1$, and from there to numerical semigroups. We provide an algorithm to determine if a given set (not necessarily containing the number $1$) is greedy. We also give specific conditions for sets of cardinality three, and we prove that numerical semigroups generated by three consecutive integers are greedy.

A challenge in high-dimensional inverse problems is developing iterative solvers to find the accurate solution of regularized optimization problems with low computational cost. An important example is computed tomography (CT) where both image and data sizes are large and therefore the forward model is costly to evaluate. Since several years algorithms from stochastic optimization are used for tomographic image reconstruction with great success by subsampling the data. Here we propose a novel way how stochastic optimization can be used to speed up image reconstruction by means of image domain sketching such that at each iteration an image of different resolution is being used. Hence, we coin this algorithm ImaSk. By considering an associated saddle-point problem, we can formulate ImaSk as a gradient-based algorithm where the gradient is approximated in the same spirit as the stochastic average gradient am\'elior\'e (SAGA) and uses at each iteration one of these multiresolution operators at random. We prove that ImaSk is linearly converging for linear forward models with strongly convex regularization functions. Numerical simulations on CT show that ImaSk is effective and increasing the number of multiresolution operators reduces the computational time to reach the modeled solution.

Embedding entities and relations into a continuous multi-dimensional vector space have become the dominant method for knowledge graph embedding in representation learning. However, most existing models ignore to represent hierarchical knowledge, such as the similarities and dissimilarities of entities in one domain. We proposed to learn a Domain Representations over existing knowledge graph embedding models, such that entities that have similar attributes are organized into the same domain. Such hierarchical knowledge of domains can give further evidence in link prediction. Experimental results show that domain embeddings give a significant improvement over the most recent state-of-art baseline knowledge graph embedding models.

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.
