We consider a multi-process remote estimation system observing $K$ independent Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes. In this system, a shared sensor samples the $K$ processes in such a way that the long-term average sum mean square error (MSE) is minimized. The sensor operates under a total sampling frequency constraint $f_{\max}$. The samples from all processes consume random processing delays in a shared queue and then are transmitted over an erasure channel with probability $\epsilon$. We study two variants of the problem: first, when the samples are scheduled according to a Maximum-Age-First (MAF) policy, and the receiver provides an erasure status feedback; and second, when samples are scheduled according to a Round-Robin (RR) policy, when there is no erasure status feedback from the receiver. Aided by optimal structural results, we show that the optimal sampling policy for both settings, under some conditions, is a \emph{threshold policy}. We characterize the optimal threshold and the corresponding optimal long-term average sum MSE as a function of $K$, $f_{\max}$, $\epsilon$, and the statistical properties of the observed processes. Our results show that, with an exponentially distributed service rate, the optimal threshold $\tau^*$ increases as the number of processes $K$ increases, for both settings. Additionally, we show that the optimal threshold is an \emph{increasing} function of $\epsilon$ in the case of \emph{available} erasure status feedback, while it exhibits the \emph{opposite behavior}, i.e., $\tau^*$ is a \emph{decreasing} function of $\epsilon$, in the case of \emph{absent} erasure status feedback.

We consider Bayesian analysis on high-dimensional spheres with angular central Gaussian priors. These priors model antipodally symmetric directional data, are easily defined in Hilbert spaces and occur, for instance, in Bayesian binary classification and level set inversion. In this paper we derive efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo methods for approximate sampling of posteriors with respect to these priors. Our approaches rely on lifting the sampling problem to the ambient Hilbert space and exploit existing dimension-independent samplers in linear spaces. By a push-forward Markov kernel construction we then obtain Markov chains on the sphere, which inherit reversibility and spectral gap properties from samplers in linear spaces. Moreover, our proposed algorithms show dimension-independent efficiency in numerical experiments.

The Euler characteristic transform (ECT) is a signature from topological data analysis (TDA) which summarises shapes embedded in Euclidean space. Compared with other TDA methods, the ECT is fast to compute and it is a sufficient statistic for a broad class of shapes. However, small perturbations of a shape can lead to large distortions in its ECT. In this paper, we propose a new metric on compact one-dimensional shapes and prove that the ECT is stable with respect to this metric. Crucially, our result uses curvature, rather than the size of a triangulation of an underlying shape, to control stability. We further construct a computationally tractable statistical estimator of the ECT based on the theory of Gaussian processes. We use our stability result to prove that our estimator is consistent on shapes perturbed by independent ambient noise; i.e., the estimator converges to the true ECT as the sample size increases.

Locating 3D objects from a single RGB image via Perspective-n-Point (PnP) is a long-standing problem in computer vision. Driven by end-to-end deep learning, recent studies suggest interpreting PnP as a differentiable layer, allowing for partial learning of 2D-3D point correspondences by backpropagating the gradients of pose loss. Yet, learning the entire correspondences from scratch is highly challenging, particularly for ambiguous pose solutions, where the globally optimal pose is theoretically non-differentiable w.r.t. the points. In this paper, we propose the EPro-PnP, a probabilistic PnP layer for general end-to-end pose estimation, which outputs a distribution of pose with differentiable probability density on the SE(3) manifold. The 2D-3D coordinates and corresponding weights are treated as intermediate variables learned by minimizing the KL divergence between the predicted and target pose distribution. The underlying principle generalizes previous approaches, and resembles the attention mechanism. EPro-PnP can enhance existing correspondence networks, closing the gap between PnP-based method and the task-specific leaders on the LineMOD 6DoF pose estimation benchmark. Furthermore, EPro-PnP helps to explore new possibilities of network design, as we demonstrate a novel deformable correspondence network with the state-of-the-art pose accuracy on the nuScenes 3D object detection benchmark.

The ability to cancel an OFDM signal is important to many wireless communication systems including Power-Domain Non-orthogonal Multiple Access (PD-NOMA), Rate-Splitting Multiple Access (RSMA), and spectrum underlay for dynamic spectrum access. In this paper, we show that estimating the windowing applied at the transmitter is important to that cancellation. Windowing at the transmitter is a popular means to control the bandwidth of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexed (OFDM) symbol and is overlooked in most literature on OFDM signal cancellation. We show the limitation to the amount of cancellation that can be achieved without knowledge of OFDM windowing. We show that the window can be estimated from received samples alone, and that window estimate can be used to improve the signal cancellation. The window is estimated in the presence of noise and imperfect estimates of the center frequency offset (CFO) and the channel. We conclude with results using synthetic and over-the-air data where we demonstrate a 5.3 dB improvement to OFDM signal cancellation over existing methods in an over-the-air experiment.

We consider a subclass of $n$-player stochastic games, in which players have their own internal state/action spaces while they are coupled through their payoff functions. It is assumed that players' internal chains are driven by independent transition probabilities. Moreover, players can receive only realizations of their payoffs, not the actual functions, and cannot observe each other's states/actions. For this class of games, we first show that finding a stationary Nash equilibrium (NE) policy without any assumption on the reward functions is interactable. However, for general reward functions, we develop polynomial-time learning algorithms based on dual averaging and dual mirror descent, which converge in terms of the averaged Nikaido-Isoda distance to the set of $\epsilon$-NE policies almost surely or in expectation. In particular, under extra assumptions on the reward functions such as social concavity, we derive polynomial upper bounds on the number of iterates to achieve an $\epsilon$-NE policy with high probability. Finally, we evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms in learning $\epsilon$-NE policies using numerical experiments for energy management in smart grids.

Reward-free reinforcement learning (RF-RL), a recently introduced RL paradigm, relies on random action-taking to explore the unknown environment without any reward feedback information. While the primary goal of the exploration phase in RF-RL is to reduce the uncertainty in the estimated model with minimum number of trajectories, in practice, the agent often needs to abide by certain safety constraint at the same time. It remains unclear how such safe exploration requirement would affect the corresponding sample complexity in order to achieve the desired optimality of the obtained policy in planning. In this work, we make a first attempt to answer this question. In particular, we consider the scenario where a safe baseline policy is known beforehand, and propose a unified Safe reWard-frEe ExploraTion (SWEET) framework. We then particularize the SWEET framework to the tabular and the low-rank MDP settings, and develop algorithms coined Tabular-SWEET and Low-rank-SWEET, respectively. Both algorithms leverage the concavity and continuity of the newly introduced truncated value functions, and are guaranteed to achieve zero constraint violation during exploration with high probability. Furthermore, both algorithms can provably find a near-optimal policy subject to any constraint in the planning phase. Remarkably, the sample complexities under both algorithms match or even outperform the state of the art in their constraint-free counterparts up to some constant factors, proving that safety constraint hardly increases the sample complexity for RF-RL.

Typical cooperative multi-agent systems (MASs) exchange information to coordinate their motion in proximity-based control consensus schemes to complete a common objective. However, in the event of faults or cyber attacks to on-board positioning sensors of agents, global control performance may be compromised resulting in a hijacking of the entire MAS. For systems that operate in unknown or landmark-free environments (e.g., open terrain, sea, or air) and also beyond range/proximity sensing of nearby agents, compromised agents lose localization capabilities. To maintain resilience in these scenarios, we propose a method to recover compromised agents by utilizing Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) from nearby agents (i.e., mobile landmarks) to provide reliable position measurements for localization. To minimize estimation error: i) a multilateration scheme is proposed to leverage RSSI and position information received from neighboring agents as mobile landmarks and ii) a Kalman filtering method adaptively updates the unknown RSSI-based position measurement covariance matrix at runtime that is robust to unreliable state estimates. The proposed framework is demonstrated with simulations on MAS formations in the presence of faults and cyber attacks to on-board position sensors.

We propose new tools for the geometric exploration of data objects taking values in a general separable metric space $(\Omega, d)$. Given a probability measure on $\Omega$, we introduce depth profiles, where the depth profile of an element $\omega\in\Omega$ refers to the distribution of the distances between $\omega$ and the other elements of $\Omega$. Depth profiles can be harnessed to define transport ranks, which capture the centrality of each element in $\Omega$ with respect to the entire data cloud based on optimal transport maps between depth profiles. We study the properties of transport ranks and show that they provide an effective device for detecting and visualizing patterns in samples of random objects and also entail notions of transport medians, modes, level sets and quantiles for data in general separable metric spaces. Specifically, we study estimates of depth profiles and transport ranks based on samples of random objects and establish the convergence of the empirical estimates to the population targets using empirical process theory. We demonstrate the usefulness of depth profiles and associated transport ranks and visualizations for distributional data through a sample of age-at-death distributions for various countries, for compositional data through energy usage for U.S. states and for network data through New York taxi trips.

Gaussian boson sampling, a computational model that is widely believed to admit quantum supremacy, has already been experimentally demonstrated to surpasses the classical simulation capabilities of even with the most powerful supercomputers today. However, whether the current approach limited by photon loss and noise in such experiments prescribes a scalable path to quantum advantage is an open question. For example, random circuit sampling with constant noise per gate was recently shown not to be a scalable approach to achieve quantum supremacy, although simulating intermediate scale systems is still difficult. To understand the effect of photon loss on the scability of Gaussian boson sampling, we use a tensor network algorithm with $U(1)$ symmetry to examine the asymptotic operator entanglement entropy scaling, which relates to the simulation complexity. We develop a custom-built algorithm that significantly reduces the computational time with state-of-the-art hardware accelerators, enabling simulations of much larger systems. With this capability, we observe, for Gaussian boson sampling, the crucial $N_\text{out}\propto\sqrt{N}$ scaling of the number of surviving photons in the number of input photons that marks the boundary between efficient and inefficient classical simulation. We further theoretically show that this should be general for other input states.
