Configurable Markov Decision Processes (Conf-MDPs) have recently been introduced as an extension of the traditional Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) to model the real-world scenarios in which there is the possibility to intervene in the environment in order to configure some of its parameters. In this paper, we focus on a particular subclass of Conf-MDP that satisfies regularity conditions, namely Lipschitz continuity. We start by providing a bound on the Wasserstein distance between $\gamma$-discounted stationary distributions induced by changing policy and configuration. This result generalizes the already existing bounds both for Conf-MDPs and traditional MDPs. Then, we derive a novel performance improvement lower bound.

Cross-Domain Sequential Recommendation (CDSR) methods aim to tackle the data sparsity and cold-start problems present in Single-Domain Sequential Recommendation (SDSR). Existing CDSR works design their elaborate structures relying on overlapping users to propagate the cross-domain information. However, current CDSR methods make closed-world assumptions, assuming fully overlapping users across multiple domains and that the data distribution remains unchanged from the training environment to the test environment. As a result, these methods typically result in lower performance on online real-world platforms due to the data distribution shifts. To address these challenges under open-world assumptions, we design an \textbf{A}daptive \textbf{M}ulti-\textbf{I}nterest \textbf{D}ebiasing framework for cross-domain sequential recommendation (\textbf{AMID}), which consists of a multi-interest information module (\textbf{MIM}) and a doubly robust estimator (\textbf{DRE}). Our framework is adaptive for open-world environments and can improve the model of most off-the-shelf single-domain sequential backbone models for CDSR. Our MIM establishes interest groups that consider both overlapping and non-overlapping users, allowing us to effectively explore user intent and explicit interest. To alleviate biases across multiple domains, we developed the DRE for the CDSR methods. We also provide a theoretical analysis that demonstrates the superiority of our proposed estimator in terms of bias and tail bound, compared to the IPS estimator used in previous work.

Existing Quantization-Aware Training (QAT) methods intensively depend on the complete labeled dataset or knowledge distillation to guarantee the performances toward Full Precision (FP) accuracies. However, empirical results show that QAT still has inferior results compared to its FP counterpart. One question is how to push QAT toward or even surpass FP performances. In this paper, we address this issue from a new perspective by injecting the vicinal data distribution information to improve the generalization performances of QAT effectively. We present a simple, novel, yet powerful method introducing an Consistency Regularization (CR) for QAT. Concretely, CR assumes that augmented samples should be consistent in the latent feature space. Our method generalizes well to different network architectures and various QAT methods. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach significantly outperforms the current state-of-the-art QAT methods and even FP counterparts.

Risk mitigation techniques are critical to avoiding accidents associated with driving behaviour. We provide a novel Multi-Class Driver Distraction Risk Assessment (MDDRA) model that considers the vehicle, driver, and environmental data during a journey. MDDRA categorises the driver on a risk matrix as safe, careless, or dangerous. It offers flexibility in adjusting the parameters and weights to consider each event on a specific severity level. We collect real-world data using the Field Operation Test (TeleFOT), covering drivers using the same routes in the East Midlands, United Kingdom (UK). The results show that reducing road accidents caused by driver distraction is possible. We also study the correlation between distraction (driver, vehicle, and environment) and the classification severity based on a continuous distraction severity score. Furthermore, we apply machine learning techniques to classify and predict driver distraction according to severity levels to aid the transition of control from the driver to the vehicle (vehicle takeover) when a situation is deemed risky. The Ensemble Bagged Trees algorithm performed best, with an accuracy of 96.2%.

The innovative Federated Multi-Task Learning (FMTL) approach consolidates the benefits of Federated Learning (FL) and Multi-Task Learning (MTL), enabling collaborative model training on multi-task learning datasets. However, a comprehensive evaluation method, integrating the unique features of both FL and MTL, is currently absent in the field. This paper fills this void by introducing a novel framework, FMTL-Bench, for systematic evaluation of the FMTL paradigm. This benchmark covers various aspects at the data, model, and optimization algorithm levels, and comprises seven sets of comparative experiments, encapsulating a wide array of non-independent and identically distributed (Non-IID) data partitioning scenarios. We propose a systematic process for comparing baselines of diverse indicators and conduct a case study on communication expenditure, time, and energy consumption. Through our exhaustive experiments, we aim to provide valuable insights into the strengths and limitations of existing baseline methods, contributing to the ongoing discourse on optimal FMTL application in practical scenarios. The source code will be made available for results replication.

We use Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) to solve the discrete-time nonlinear observer state estimation problem. Integrated within a single-step exact observer linearization framework, the proposed PINN approach aims at learning a nonlinear state transformation map by solving a system of inhomogeneous functional equations. The performance of the proposed PINN approach is assessed via two illustrative case studies for which the observer linearizing transformation map can be derived analytically. We also perform an uncertainty quantification analysis for the proposed PINN scheme and we compare it with conventional power-series numerical implementations, which rely on the computation of a power series solution.

Collision avoidance algorithms for Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASV) that follow the Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs) have been proposed in recent years. However, it may be difficult and unsafe to follow COLREGs in congested waters, where multiple ASVs are navigating in the presence of static obstacles and strong currents, due to the complex interactions. To address this problem, we propose a decentralized multi-ASV collision avoidance policy based on Distributional Reinforcement Learning, which considers the interactions among ASVs as well as with static obstacles and current flows. We evaluate the performance of the proposed Distributional RL based policy against a traditional RL-based policy and two classical methods, Artificial Potential Fields (APF) and Reciprocal Velocity Obstacles (RVO), in simulation experiments, which show that the proposed policy achieves superior performance in navigation safety, while requiring minimal travel time and energy. A variant of our framework that automatically adapts its risk sensitivity is also demonstrated to improve ASV safety in highly congested environments.

This text describes experiences gained across a two-year test period during which two generations of Generative Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) systems were incorporated into an interdisciplinary, university level course on A.I. for art and design practices. The text uses the results from the courses to reflect on new opportunities for generative systems in art and design, while considering traps and limits.

Typographic Attacks, which involve pasting misleading text onto an image, were noted to harm the performance of Vision-Language Models like CLIP. However, the susceptibility of recent Large Vision-Language Models to these attacks remains understudied. Furthermore, prior work's Typographic attacks against CLIP randomly sample a misleading class from a predefined set of categories. However, this simple strategy misses more effective attacks that exploit LVLM(s) stronger language skills. To address these issues, we first introduce a benchmark for testing Typographic attacks against LVLM(s). Moreover, we introduce two novel and more effective \textit{Self-Generated} attacks which prompt the LVLM to generate an attack against itself: 1) Class Based Attack where the LVLM (e.g. LLaVA) is asked which deceiving class is most similar to the target class and 2) Descriptive Attacks where a more advanced LVLM (e.g. GPT4-V) is asked to recommend a Typographic attack that includes both a deceiving class and description. Using our benchmark, we uncover that Self-Generated attacks pose a significant threat, reducing LVLM(s) classification performance by up to 33\%. We also uncover that attacks generated by one model (e.g. GPT-4V or LLaVA) are effective against the model itself and other models like InstructBLIP and MiniGPT4.

Medical image segmentation requires consensus ground truth segmentations to be derived from multiple expert annotations. A novel approach is proposed that obtains consensus segmentations from experts using graph cuts (GC) and semi supervised learning (SSL). Popular approaches use iterative Expectation Maximization (EM) to estimate the final annotation and quantify annotator's performance. Such techniques pose the risk of getting trapped in local minima. We propose a self consistency (SC) score to quantify annotator consistency using low level image features. SSL is used to predict missing annotations by considering global features and local image consistency. The SC score also serves as the penalty cost in a second order Markov random field (MRF) cost function optimized using graph cuts to derive the final consensus label. Graph cut obtains a global maximum without an iterative procedure. Experimental results on synthetic images, real data of Crohn's disease patients and retinal images show our final segmentation to be accurate and more consistent than competing methods.
