The Data Distribution Service (DDS) is a widely used communication specification for real-time mission-critical systems that follow the principles of publish-subscribe middleware. DDS has an extensive set of quality of service (QoS) parameters allowing a thorough customisation of the intended communication. An extensive survey of the performance of the implementations of this communication middleware is lacking. This paper closes the gap by surveying the state of the art in performance of various DDS implementations and identifying any research gaps that exist within this domain.

Most of the recent work in leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) such as GPT-3 for Machine Translation (MT) has focused on selecting the few-shot samples for prompting. In this work, we try to better understand the role of demonstration attributes for the in-context learning of translations through perturbations of high-quality, in-domain demonstrations. We find that asymmetric perturbation of the source-target mappings yield vastly different results. We show that the perturbation of the source side has surprisingly little impact, while target perturbation can drastically reduce translation quality, suggesting that it is the output text distribution that provides the most important learning signal during in-context learning of translations. We propose a method named Zero-Shot-Context to add this signal automatically in Zero-Shot prompting. We demonstrate that it improves upon the zero-shot translation performance of GPT-3, even making it competitive with few-shot prompted translations.

Typical Convolutional Neural Networks (ConvNets) depend heavily on large amounts of image data and resort to an iterative optimization algorithm (e.g., SGD or Adam) to learn network parameters, which makes training very time- and resource-intensive. In this paper, we propose a new training paradigm and formulate the parameter learning of ConvNets into a prediction task: given a ConvNet architecture, we observe there exists correlations between image datasets and their corresponding optimal network parameters, and explore if we can learn a hyper-mapping between them to capture the relations, such that we can directly predict the parameters of the network for an image dataset never seen during the training phase. To do this, we put forward a new hypernetwork based model, called PudNet, which intends to learn a mapping between datasets and their corresponding network parameters, and then predicts parameters for unseen data with only a single forward propagation. Moreover, our model benefits from a series of adaptive hyper recurrent units sharing weights to capture the dependencies of parameters among different network layers. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our proposed method achieves good efficacy for unseen image datasets on two kinds of settings: Intra-dataset prediction and Inter-dataset prediction. Our PudNet can also well scale up to large-scale datasets, e.g., ImageNet-1K. It takes 8967 GPU seconds to train ResNet-18 on the ImageNet-1K using GC from scratch and obtain a top-5 accuracy of 44.65 %. However, our PudNet costs only 3.89 GPU seconds to predict the network parameters of ResNet-18 achieving comparable performance (44.92 %), more than 2,300 times faster than the traditional training paradigm.

We provide a new proof of Maurer, Renard, and Pietzak's result that the sum of the nCPA advantages of random permutations $P$ and $Q$ bound the CCA advantage of $P^{-1} \circ Q$. Our proof uses probability directly, as opposed to information theory, and has the advantage of providing an alternate sufficient condition of low CCA advantage. Namely, the CCA advantage of a random permutation can be bounded by its separation distance from the uniform distribution. We use this alternate condition to tighten the best known bound on the security of the swap-or-not shuffle in the special case of having fewer queries than the square root of the number of cards.

This work presents an algorithm for tracking the shape of multiple entangling Deformable Linear Objects (DLOs) from a sequence of RGB-D images. This algorithm runs in real-time and improves on previous single-DLO tracking approaches by enabling tracking of multiple objects. This is achieved using Global-Local Topology Preservation (GLTP). This work uses the geodesic distance in GLTP to define the distance between separate objects and the distance between different parts of the same object. Tracking multiple entangling DLOs is demonstrated experimentally. The source code is publicly released.

This paper challenges the well-established paradigm for building any-to-any networks for training Large Language Models (LLMs). We show that LLMs exhibit a unique communication pattern where only small groups of GPUs require high-bandwidth any-to-any communication within them, to achieve near-optimal training performance. Across these groups of GPUs, the communication is insignificant, sparse, and homogeneous. We propose a new network architecture that closely resembles the communication requirement of LLMs. Our architecture partitions the cluster into sets of GPUs interconnected with non-blocking any-to-any high-bandwidth interconnects that we call HB domains. Across the HB domains, the network only connects GPUs with communication demands. We call this network a "rail-only" connection, and show that our proposed architecture reduces the network cost by up to 75% compared to the state-of-the-art any-to-any Clos networks without compromising the performance of LLM training.

We present an implementation of a Web3 platform that leverages the Groth16 Zero-Knowledge Proof schema to verify the validity of questionnaire results within Smart Contracts. Our approach ensures that the answer key of the questionnaire remains undisclosed throughout the verification process, while ensuring that the evaluation is done fairly. To accomplish this, users respond to a series of questions, and their answers are encoded and securely transmitted to a hidden backend. The backend then performs an evaluation of the user's answers, generating the overall result of the questionnaire. Additionally, it generates a Zero-Knowledge Proof, attesting that the answers were appropriately evaluated against a valid set of constraints. Next, the user submits their result along with the proof to a Smart Contract, which verifies their validity and issues a non-fungible token (NFT) as an attestation of the user's test result. In this research, we implemented the Zero-Knowledge functionality using Circom 2 and deployed the Smart Contract using Solidity, thereby showcasing a practical and secure solution for questionnaire validity verification in the context of Smart Contracts.

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have gained significant attention owing to their ability to handle graph-structured data and the improvement in practical applications. However, many of these models prioritize high utility performance, such as accuracy, with a lack of privacy consideration, which is a major concern in modern society where privacy attacks are rampant. To address this issue, researchers have started to develop privacy-preserving GNNs. Despite this progress, there is a lack of a comprehensive overview of the attacks and the techniques for preserving privacy in the graph domain. In this survey, we aim to address this gap by summarizing the attacks on graph data according to the targeted information, categorizing the privacy preservation techniques in GNNs, and reviewing the datasets and applications that could be used for analyzing/solving privacy issues in GNNs. We also outline potential directions for future research in order to build better privacy-preserving GNNs.

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have gained momentum in graph representation learning and boosted the state of the art in a variety of areas, such as data mining (\emph{e.g.,} social network analysis and recommender systems), computer vision (\emph{e.g.,} object detection and point cloud learning), and natural language processing (\emph{e.g.,} relation extraction and sequence learning), to name a few. With the emergence of Transformers in natural language processing and computer vision, graph Transformers embed a graph structure into the Transformer architecture to overcome the limitations of local neighborhood aggregation while avoiding strict structural inductive biases. In this paper, we present a comprehensive review of GNNs and graph Transformers in computer vision from a task-oriented perspective. Specifically, we divide their applications in computer vision into five categories according to the modality of input data, \emph{i.e.,} 2D natural images, videos, 3D data, vision + language, and medical images. In each category, we further divide the applications according to a set of vision tasks. Such a task-oriented taxonomy allows us to examine how each task is tackled by different GNN-based approaches and how well these approaches perform. Based on the necessary preliminaries, we provide the definitions and challenges of the tasks, in-depth coverage of the representative approaches, as well as discussions regarding insights, limitations, and future directions.

The dominating NLP paradigm of training a strong neural predictor to perform one task on a specific dataset has led to state-of-the-art performance in a variety of applications (eg. sentiment classification, span-prediction based question answering or machine translation). However, it builds upon the assumption that the data distribution is stationary, ie. that the data is sampled from a fixed distribution both at training and test time. This way of training is inconsistent with how we as humans are able to learn from and operate within a constantly changing stream of information. Moreover, it is ill-adapted to real-world use cases where the data distribution is expected to shift over the course of a model's lifetime. The first goal of this thesis is to characterize the different forms this shift can take in the context of natural language processing, and propose benchmarks and evaluation metrics to measure its effect on current deep learning architectures. We then proceed to take steps to mitigate the effect of distributional shift on NLP models. To this end, we develop methods based on parametric reformulations of the distributionally robust optimization framework. Empirically, we demonstrate that these approaches yield more robust models as demonstrated on a selection of realistic problems. In the third and final part of this thesis, we explore ways of efficiently adapting existing models to new domains or tasks. Our contribution to this topic takes inspiration from information geometry to derive a new gradient update rule which alleviate catastrophic forgetting issues during adaptation.
