Multiple data streams learning attracts more and more attention recently. Different from learning a single data stream, the uncertain and complex occurrence of concept drift in multiple data streams, bring challenges in real-time learning task. To address this issue, this paper proposed a method called time-warping-based concept drift learning method (TW-CDM) for dealing with multiple data streams. First, a time-warping-based drift identification process is given to recognize the drift region. Second, an augmented learning process is developed by crossly using the located region data. Finally, a selectively augmented learning process is given to reduce the influence of different drift severity. The proposed method is evaluated on both synthetic and real-world datasets, and compared with benchmark methods. The experiment results show the efficiency of the proposed method.

It is well accepted that domain ontologies can support requirement analysis activities, particularly in detecting inconsistencies and incompleteness of requirement models. These benefits critically depend on the provision of a suitable ontology. We observe the context of supporting requirement analysis provides both opportunities and restrictions when choosing the most appropriate ontology retrieval mechanisms. Requirement models are the basis for retrieving the most influential ontologies and are not the typical retrieval domain ontologies. For instance, a retrieval ontology derived from the requirement is not expected only to be a hierarchical taxonomy, nor is it limited to the boundaries of a single domain, nor does it cover any particular domain completely. Hence, retrieval methods cannot be based on classes only and computational constraints do not necessarily apply as the retrieval process is expected to run only once at the outset of the analysis phase. It is also important to assume that the retrieval in this context is targeting multiple ontologies describing multiple but related domains. In this paper, we deduce that avoiding structural based retrieval mechanisms in fact benefits to the requirement models. Instead, we formulate a new retrieval method based on the PageRank algorithm that takes into account the indirect influences of various concepts within plausible supporting ontologies. This paper provides an empirical analysis that evidences the strength of our retrieval algorithm in supporting the identification of ontologies to support requirement analysis.

Abstract Startup selection is an essential mechanism of how accelerators create value. Through in-depth case studies of 10 accelerators in Turkey, our research explores the selection process in accelerators. Our findings indicate that accelerators overcome their context’s extreme uncertainty by involving various actors in the selection process and reducing the information asymmetries for investors and startups. Accelerators tend to select effortlessly coachable startups, willing to collaborate with accelerators, mentors, or other actors, and passionate enough to overcome the pressure of creating a business at a fast pace. Our research also exhibits that the selection process serves startups by directing and training them to transmit the right signals to receivers, primarily investors. Accelerators prefer to work with entrepreneurial teams that are coachable, passionate, and collaborative to vibrate the right signals. Similarly, the accelerators’ selection process helps investors by decreasing signaling noise and mitigate information asymmetry. By doing so, accelerators contribute to a well-functioning and more effective entrepreneurship ecosystem.

Even though digital technologies such as cloud technologies are prevalent in transforming businesses, the role of employees and their digital skills in the process is, to a large extent, neglected. This study brings forward the novel concept of digital literacy to explore the role of employees in understanding the wide variety of opportunities of digital technologies and their actualization. By treating digital literacy as the antecedent of cognitive behavior of employees in utilizing cloud technology at companies, we apply the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) for analyzing preliminary empirical data collected from 124 Australian employees’ technology use intentionality and behavior. The quantitative analysis shows that the TPB holds for the utilization of cloud technology and there is a positive relationship between employees' digital literacy and the utilization of cloud technology at companies. Overall, the study contributes to the technology management literature by offering a workable construct to measure the digital skills of employees in the form of digital literacy. Further, it expands the TPB framework by introducing digital literacy as a perceived behavior control variable that helps to examine the role of employees in digital transformation. The paper ends with implications and limitations of our preliminary study, followed with suggestions for future studies.

This paper aims to understand the definition and dimensions of artificial intelligence (AI) literacy. Digital technologies, including AI, trigger organizational affordances in workplaces, yet few studies have investigated employees’ AI literacy. This paper uses a bibliometrics analysis of 270 articles to explore the meaning of AI literacy of employees in the extant literature. Descriptive statistics, keyword co-occurrence analysis, and a hierarchical topic tree are employed to profile the research landscape and identify the core research themes and relevant papers related to AI literacy’s definition, dimensions, challenges, and future directions. Findings highlight four sets of capabilities associated with AI literacy, namely technology-related, work-related, human-machine-related, and learning-related capabilities, pointing also to the importance of operationalizing AI literacy for non AI professionals. This result contributes to the literature associated with technology management studies by offering a novel conceptualization of AI literacy and link it to the employee’s role in digital workplaces. We conclude by inviting researchers to examine the effect of employee-technology interactions on employees’ AI literacy, which might improve the design and use of AI.

Federated learning (FL) has been a hot topic in recent years. Ever since it was introduced, researchers have endeavored to devise FL systems that protect privacy or ensure fair results, with most research focusing on one or the other. As two crucial ethical notions, the interactions between privacy and fairness are comparatively less studied. However, since privacy and fairness compete, considering each in isolation will inevitably come at the cost of the other. To provide a broad view of these two critical topics, we presented a detailed literature review of privacy and fairness issues, highlighting unique challenges posed by FL and solutions in federated settings. We further systematically surveyed different interactions between privacy and fairness, trying to reveal how privacy and fairness could affect each other and point out new research directions in fair and private FL.

View description>>

Neighborhood classification (NEC) algorithms have been widely used to solve classification problems. Most traditional NEC algorithms employ the majority voting mechanism as the basis for final decision making. However, this mechanism hardly considers the spatial difference and label uncertainty of the neighborhood samples, which may increase the possibility of the misclassification. In addition, the traditional NEC algorithms need to load the entire data into memory at once, which is computationally inefficient when the size of the dataset is large. To address these problems, we propose a novel Spark-based attribute reduction and NEC for rough evidence in this article. Specifically, we first construct a multigranular sample space using the parallel undersampling method. Then, we evaluate the significance of attribute by neighborhood rough evidence decision error rate and remove the redundant attribute on different samples subspaces. Based on this attribute reduction algorithm, we design a parallel attribute reduction algorithm which is able to compute equivalence classes in parallel and parallelize the process of searching for candidate attributes. Finally, we introduce the rough evidence into the classification decision of traditional NEC algorithms and parallelize the classification decision process. Furthermore, the proposed algorithms are conducted in the Spark parallel computing framework. Experimental results on both small and large-scale datasets show that the proposed algorithms outperform the benchmarking algorithms in the classification accuracy and the computational efficiency.

AbstractThe visual modeling method enables flexible interactions with rich graphical depictions of data and supports the exploration of the complexities of epidemiological analysis. However, most epidemiology visualizations do not support the combined analysis of objective factors that might influence the transmission situation, resulting in a lack of quantitative and qualitative evidence. To address this issue, we developed a portrait-based visual modeling method called +msRNAer. This method considers the spatiotemporal features of virus transmission patterns and multidimensional features of objective risk factors in communities, enabling portrait-based exploration and comparison in epidemiological analysis. We applied +msRNAer to aggregate COVID-19-related datasets in New South Wales, Australia, combining COVID-19 case number trends, geo-information, intervention events, and expert-supervised risk factors extracted from local government area-based censuses. We perfected the +msRNAer workflow with collaborative views and evaluated its feasibility, effectiveness, and usefulness through one user study and three subject-driven case studies. Positive feedback from experts indicates that +msRNAer provides a general understanding for analyzing comprehension that not only compares relationships between cases in time-varying and risk factors through portraits but also supports navigation in fundamental geographical, timeline, and other factor comparisons. By adopting interactions, experts discovered functional and practical implications for potential patterns of long-standing community factors regarding the vulnerability faced by the pandemic. Experts confirmed that +msRNAer is expected to deliver visual modeling benefits with spatiotemporal and multidimensional features in other epidemiological...

View description>>

Graph convolutional neural networks (GCNs) have achieved great success in graph representation learning by extracting high-level features from nodes and their topology. Since GCNs generally follow a message-passing mechanism, each node aggregates information from its first-order neighbor to update its representation. As a result, the representations of nodes with edges between them should be positively correlated and thus can be considered positive samples. However, there are more non-neighbor nodes in the whole graph, which provide diverse and useful information for the representation update. Two non-adjacent nodes usually have different representations, which can be seen as negative samples. Besides the node representations, the structural information of the graph is also crucial for learning. In this article, we used quality-diversity decomposition in determinant point processes (DPPs) to obtain diverse negative samples. When defining a distribution on diverse subsets of all non-neighboring nodes, we incorporate both graph structure information and node representations. Since the DPP sampling process requires matrix eigenvalue decomposition, we propose a new shortest-path-base method to improve computational efficiency. Finally, we incorporate the obtained negative samples into the graph convolution operation. The ideas are evaluated empirically in experiments on node classification tasks. These experiments show that the newly proposed methods not only improve the overall performance of standard representation learning but also significantly alleviate over-smoothing problems.

In this article, we study some classical complexity-theoretic questions regarding Group Isomorphism ( GpI ). We focus on p -groups (groups of prime power order) with odd p , which are believed to be a bottleneckcase for GpI , and work in the model of matrix groups over finite fields. Our main results are as follows: • Although search-to-decision and counting-to-decision reductions have been known for more than four decades for Graph Isomorphism , they had remained open for GpI , explicitly asked by Arvind and Torán ( EATCS Bull. , 2005). Extending methods from Tensor Isomorphism (TI) (Grochow and Qiao, ITCS 2021), we show moderately exponential-time such reductions within p -groups of class 2 and exponent p . • Despite the widely held belief that p -groups of class 2 and exponent p are the hardest cases of GpI , there was no reduction to these groups from ...

Abstract Background Nystagmus generated during bithermal caloric test assesses the horizontal vestibulo-ocular-reflex. Any induced symptoms are considered unwanted side effects rather than diagnostic information. Aim We hypothesized that nystagmus slow-phase-velocity (SPV) and subjective symptoms during caloric testing would be higher in vestibular migraine (VM) patients compared with peripheral disorders such as Meniere’s disease (MD) and non-vestibular dizziness (NVD). Methods Consecutive patients (n = 1373, 60% female) referred for caloric testing were recruited. During caloric irrigations, patients scored their subjective sensations. We assessed objective-measures, subjective vertigo (SVS), subjective nausea (SNS), and test completion status. Results Nystagmus SPV for VM, MD (unaffected side), and NVD were 29 ± 12.8, 30 ± 15.4, and 28 ± 14.2 for warm irrigation and 24 ± 8.9, 22 ± 10.0, and 25 ± 12.8 for cold-irrigation. The mean SVS were 2.5 ± 1.1, 1.5 ± 1.33, and 1.5 ± 1.42 for warm irrigation and 2.2 ± 1.1, 1.1 ± 1.19, and 1.1 ± 1.16 for cold-irrigation. Age was significantly correlated with SVS and SNS, (p < 0.001) for both. The SVS and SNS were significantly higher in VM compared with non-VM groups (p < 0.001), and there was no difference in nystagmus SPV. VM patients SVS was significantly different to the SVS of migraineurs in the other diagnostic groups (p < 0.001). Testing was incomplete for 34.4% of VM an...

Abstract Time series analysis of real-world measurements is fundamental in natural sciences and engineering, and machine learning has been recently of great assistance especially for classification of signals and their understanding. Yet, the underlying system’s nonlinear response behaviour is often neglected. Recurrence Plot (RP) based Fourier-spectra constructed through τ-Recurrence Rate (RR τ ) have shown the potential to reveal nonlinear traits otherwise hidden from conventional data processing. We report a so far disregarded eligibility for signal classification of nonlinear time series by training RESnet-50 on spectrogram images, which allows recurrence-spectra to outcompete conventional Fourier analysis. To exemplify its functioning, we employ a simple nonlinear physical flow of a continuous stirred tank reactor, able to exhibit exothermic, first order, irreversible, cubic autocatalytic chemical reactions, and a plethora of fast-slow dynamics. For dynamics with noise being ten times stronger than the signal, the classification accuracy was up to ≈ 75% compared to ≈ 17% for the periodogram. We show that an increase in entropy only detected by the RR τ allows differentiation. This shows that RP power spectra, combined with off-the-shelf machine learning techniques, have the potential to significantly improve the detection of nonlinear and noise contaminated signals.

Nonetheless, an inherent drawback arises from the insufficient evaluation of VAS, resulting in occasional inaccuracies when it comes to analytical reasoning, information synthesis, and deriving insights from vast, ever-changing, ambiguous, and frequently contradictory data. Hence, the significance of implementing an appropriate evaluation methodology cannot be overstated, as it plays a pivotal role in enhancing the design and development of visualization systems. This paper assesses visualization systems by providing a systematic exploration of various evaluation strategies (ES). While several existing studies have examined some ES, the extent of comprehensive and systematic review for visualization research remains limited. In this work, we introduce seven state-of-the-art and widely recognized ES namely (1) dashboard comparison; (2) insight-based evaluation; (3) log data analysis; (4) Likert scales; (5) qualitative and quantitative analysis; (6) Nielsen’s heuristics; and (7) eye trackers. Moreover, it delves into their historical context and explores numerous applications where these ES have been employed, shedding light on the associated evaluation practices. Through our comprehensive review, we overview and analyze the predominant evaluation goals within the visualization community, elucidating their evolution and the inherent contrasts. Additionally, we identify the open challenges that arise with the emergence of new ES, while also highlighting the key themes gleaned from the existing literature that hold potential for further exploration in future studies.

Abstract Objective. Brain–computer interface (BCI) technology is poised to play a prominent role in modern work environments, especially a collaborative environment where humans and machines work in close proximity, often with physical contact. In a physical human robot collaboration (pHRC), the robot performs complex motion sequences. Any unexpected robot behavior or faulty interaction might raise safety concerns. Error-related potentials, naturally generated by the brain when a human partner perceives an error, have been extensively employed in BCI as implicit human feedback to adapt robot behavior to facilitate a safe and intuitive interaction. However, the integration of BCI technology with error-related potential for robot control demands failure-free integration of highly uncertain electroencephalography (EEG) signals, particularly influenced by the physical and cognitive state of the user. As a higher workload on the user compromises their access to cognitive resources needed for error awareness, it is crucial to study how mental workload variations impact the error awareness as it might raise safety concerns in pHRC. In this study, we aim to study how cognitive workload affects the error awareness of a human user engaged in a pHRC. Approach. We designed a blasting task with an abrasive industrial robot and manipulated the mental workload with a secondary arithmetic task of varying difficulty. EEG data, perceived workload, task and physical performance were recorded from 24 participants moving the robot arm. The error condition was achieved by the unexpected stopping of the robot in 33% of trials. Main results. We observed a diminished amplitude for the prediction error negativity (PEN) and error positivity (Pe), indicating reduced error awareness with increasing mental workload. We further observed a...

Digital technologies have radically influenced the modern workplace, which is exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic making it possible to work from home or remotely. Furthermore, these changes have been assimilated, so it is now necessary and difficult to separate ourselves from the flexible working environment.This study examines the various engineering management courses offered by Australian institutions to compare the skillsets taught and those deemed significant by engineering managers. The goal is to determine this connection in the current digital age, where re-skilling, digital intelligence, and empathy are some of the themes identified in the literature review.The study is based on a review of 20 relevant research articles, interviews with ten Australian engineering and technical managers transitioning from engineering to managerial and team leadership roles, and an analysis of six Australian university curriculums. The findings highlight the importance of digital and emotional intelligence for managers. The study show that most of the skillsets offered by the Australian university curricula did not include key skills.

AbstractAs a significant application of machine learning in financial scenarios, loan default risk prediction aims to evaluate the client’s default probability. However, most existing deep learning solutions treat each application as an independent individual, neglecting the explicit connections among different application records. Besides, these attempts suffer from the problem of missing data and imbalanced distribution (i.e., the default records are small samples against all the applications). We believe similar records could provide some auxiliary signals, which are of critical importance to alleviate the data missing issue and facilitate data argumentation. To this end, we propose multi-view loan application graphs, dubbed MLAGs. By evaluating the similarity between the records, a loan application graph can be constructed. Furthermore, we arrange different similarity thresholds to organize various graph structures for multi-graph constructions; thus, a variety of representations can be generated via information propagation and aggregation for small sample argumentation. Consequently, the imbalanced data distribution and missing values issues can be alleviated effectively. We conduct experiments on three public datasets from real-world home credit and P2P lending platforms, which show that MGCN outperforms both conventional and deep learning models. Ablation studies also illustrated the validity of each module design.

The Gaussian process (GP) algorithm is considered as a powerful nonparametric-learning approach, which can provide uncertainty measurements on the predictions. The standard GP requires clearly observed data, unexpected perturbations in the input may lead to learned regression model mismatching. Besides, GP also suffers from the lack of good generalization performance guarantees. To deal with data uncertainty and provide a numerical generalization performance guarantee on the unknown data distribution, this article proposes a novel robust noisy input GP (NIGP) algorithm based on the probably approximately correct (PAC) Bayes theory. Furthermore, to reduce the computational complexity, we develop a sparse NIGP algorithm, and then develop a sparse PAC-Bayes NIGP approach. Compared with NIGP algorithms, instead of maximizing the marginal log likelihood, one can optimize the PAC-Bayes bound to pursue a tighter generalization error upper bound. Experiments verify that the NIGP algorithms can attain greater accuracy. Besides, the PAC-NIGP algorithms proposed herein can achieve both robust performance and improved generalization error upper bound in the face of both uncertain input and output data.

Responsible Artificial Intelligence (RAI) is widely considered as one of the greatest scientific challenges of our time and is key to increase the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Recently, a number of AI ethics principles frameworks have been published. However, without further guidance on best practices, practitioners are left with nothing much beyond truisms. In addition, significant efforts have been placed at algorithm level rather than system level, mainly focusing on a subset of mathematics-amenable ethical principles, such as fairness. Nevertheless, ethical issues can arise at any step of the development lifecycle, cutting across many AI and non-AI components of systems beyond AI algorithms and models. To operationalize RAI from a system perspective, in this article, we present an RAI Pattern Catalogue based on the results of a multivocal literature review. Rather than staying at the principle or algorithm level, we focus on patterns that AI system stakeholders can undertake in practice to ensure that the developed AI systems are responsible throughout the entire governance and engineering lifecycle. The RAI Pattern Catalogue classifies the patterns into three groups: multi-level governance patterns, trustworthy process patterns, and RAI-by-design product patterns. These patterns provide systematic and actionable guidance for stakeholders to implement RAI.

The theoretical analysis of multiclass classification has proved that the existing multiclass classification methods can train a classifier with high classification accuracy on the test set, when the instances are precise in the training and test sets with same distribution and enough instances can be collected in the training set. However, one limitation with multiclass classification has not been solved: how to improve the classification accuracy of multiclass classification problems when only imprecise observations are available. Hence, in this article, we propose a novel framework to address a new realistic problem called multiclass classification with imprecise observations (MCIMO), where we need to train a classifier with fuzzy-feature observations. First, we give the theoretical analysis of the MCIMO problem based on fuzzy Rademacher complexity. Then, two practical algorithms based on support vector machine and neural networks are constructed to solve the proposed new problem. The experiments on both synthetic and real-world datasets verify the rationality of our theoretical analysis and the efficacy of the proposed algorithms.

Abstract The laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) has been shown to be effective for a wide application of vibration assessments that are well accepted. One of the new avenues for exploring alternative measurement scenarios, mounting LDVs on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is emerging as a potential avenue for remote and harsh environment measurements. Such configurations grapple with the challenge of the LDV sensor head being sensitive to UAV vibration during flight and signal loss due to tracking error. This study investigates the effectiveness of several Time Synchronous Averaging (TSA) techniques to circumvent these obstacles. Through comprehensive evaluations, all three TSA techniques under investigation demonstrated significant potential in suppressing UAV-induced noise and minimising the effects of signal dropout. Traditional TSA showcased a remarkable sixfold enhancement in signal quality when analysed via the mean square error. However, the study also highlighted that while TSA and Multi-Cycle Time Synchronous Average (MCTSA) elevated signal clarity, there is a trade-off between noise suppression and signal duration. Additionally, the findings emphasise the importance of synchronisation between scanning and target vibration. To achieve optimal results in Continuous Scanning Laser Doppler Vibrometer measurements, there is a need for advanced algorithms capable of estimating target vibration and synchronising scanning in real-time. As the study was rooted in steady-state vibrations, future research should explore transient vibration scenarios, thereby broadening the application scope of TSA techniques in UAV-mounted LDV systems.

Aesthetic attributes are crucial for aesthetics because they explicitly present some photo quality cues that a human expert might use to evaluate a photo's aesthetic quality. However, annotating aesthetic attributes is a time-consuming, costly, and error-prone task, which leads to the issue that photos available are partially annotated with attributes. To alleviate this issue, we propose a novel semi-supervised adversarial learning method for photo aesthetic assessment from partially attribute-annotated photos, which can greatly reduce the reliance on manual attribute annotation. Specifically, the proposed method consists of a score-attributes generator R, a photo generator G, and a discriminator D. The score-attributes generator learns the aesthetic score and attributes simultaneously to capture their dependencies and construct better feature representations. The photo generator reconstructs the photo by feeding aesthetic attributes, score, and informative feature representation. A discriminator is used to force the convergence of the features-attributes-score tuples generated from the score-attributes generator, the photo generator, and the ground-truth distribution in labeled data for training data. The proposed method significantly outperforms the state of the art, increasing the Spearman rank-order correlation coefficient (SRCC) from the existing best reported of 0.726 to 0.761 on Aesthetic and attributes database and 0.756 to 0.774 on Aesthetic visual analysis database, respectively.

Semantic communication has sparked great interest, due to the rising demands of emerging applications on high communication capacity and low latency. The majority of existing semantic communication methods are task-oriented, which transmit task-related semantic information via synchronous trained deep learning-based (DL-based) encoders and decoders. However, these methods have limitations in handling multi-task communications. Moreover, the synchronous training paradigm also leads to significant communication overhead in the establishing phase. In this article, we propose an asynchronous multi-task semantic communication method. In the proposed method, the DL-based encoder is trained independently using a contrastive learning method to extract task-independent semantic knowledge. Then, the receiver trains different DL-based decoders to perform various communication tasks based on the pre-trained encoder. Our method enables the accomplishment of multiple communication tasks in a single transmission. Moreover, the asynchronous training paradigm can reduce the communication overhead during the training phase of our system. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance in image classification and reconstruction tasks while requiring less than 10% of the training communication time compared to existing semantic communication systems.

View description>>

Fairness-aware recommendation alleviates discrimination issues to build trustworthy recommendation systems. Explaining the causes of unfair recommendations is critical, as it promotes fairness diagnostics, and thus secures users’ trust in recommendation models. Existing fairness explanation methods suffer high computation burdens due to the large-scale search space and the greedy nature of the explanation search process. Besides, they perform feature-level optimizations with continuous values, which are not applicable to discrete attributes such as gender and age. In this work, we adopt counterfactual explanations from causal inference and propose to generate attribute-level counterfactual explanations, adapting to discrete attributes in recommendation models. We use real-world attributes from Heterogeneous Information Networks (HINs) to empower counterfactual reasoning on discrete attributes. We propose a Counterfactual Explanation for Fairness (CFairER) that generates attribute-level counterfactual explanations from HINs for item exposure fairness. Our CFairER conducts off-policy reinforcement learning to seek high-quality counterfactual explanations, with attentive action pruning reducing the search space of candidate counterfactuals. The counterfactual explanations help to provide rational and proximate explanations for model fairness, while the attentive action pruning narrows the search space of attributes. Extensive experiments demonstrate our proposed model can generate faithful explanations while maintaining favorable recommendation performance.

When only users’ preferences and interests are considered by a recommendation algorithm, it will lead to the severe long-tail problem over items. Therefore, the unfair exposure phenomenon of recommended items caused by this problem has attracted widespread attention in recent years. For the first time, we reveal the fact that there is a more serious unfair exposure problem in session-based recommender systems (SRSs), which learn the short-term and dynamic preferences of users from anonymous sessions. Considering the fact that in SRSs, recommendations are provided multiple times and item exposures are accumulated over interactions in a session, we define new metrics both for the fairness of item exposure and recommendation quality among sessions. Moreover, we design a dynamic F airness- A ssurance ST rategy for s E ssion-based R ecommender systems ( FASTER ). FASTER is a post-processing strategy that tries to keep a balance between item exposure fairness and recommendation quality. It can also maintain the fairness of recommendation quality among sessions. The effectiveness of FASTER is verified on three real-world datasets and five original algorithms. The experiment results show that FASTER can generally reduce the unfair exposure of different session-based recommendation algorithms while still ensuring a high level of recommendation quality.

Machine learning has attracted widespread attention and evolved into an enabling technology for a wide range of highly successful applications, such as intelligent computer vision, speech recognition, medical diagnosis, and more. Yet, a special need has arisen where, due to privacy, usability, and/or the right to be forgotten , information about some specific samples needs to be removed from a model, called machine unlearning. This emerging technology has drawn significant interest from both academics and industry due to its innovation and practicality. At the same time, this ambitious problem has led to numerous research efforts aimed at confronting its challenges. To the best of our knowledge, no study has analyzed this complex topic or compared the feasibility of existing unlearning solutions in different kinds of scenarios. Accordingly, with this survey, we aim to capture the key concepts of unlearning techniques. The existing solutions are classified and summarized based on their characteristics within an up-to-date and comprehensive review of each category’s advantages and limitations. The survey concludes by highlighting some of the outstanding issues with unlearning techniques, along with some feasible directions for new research opportunities.

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are a remarkable creation with regard to deep generative models. Thanks to their ability to learn from complex data distributions, GANs have been credited with the capacity to generate plausible data examples, which have been widely applied to various data generation tasks over image, text, and audio. However, as with any powerful technology, GANs have a flip side: their capability to generate realistic data can be exploited for malicious purposes. Many recent studies have demonstrated the security and privacy (S&P) threats brought by GANs, especially the attacks on machine learning (ML) systems. Nevertheless, so far as we know, there is no existing survey that has systematically categorized and discussed the threats and strategies of these GAN-based attack methods. In this article, we provide a comprehensive survey of GAN-based attacks and countermeasures. We summarize and articulate: (1) what S&P threats of GANs expose to ML systems; (2) why GANs are useful for certain attacks; (3) what strategies can be used for GAN-based attacks; and (4) what countermeasures can be effective to GAN-based attacks. Finally, we provide several promising research directions combining the existing limitations of GAN-based studies and the prevailing trend in the associated research fields.

On this basis, we look ahead and propose a prototype of the future quantum network architectures. Finally, we sort out and analyze the paradigm, principle, and properties of quantum communications. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first review and vision work on quantum communications and networking.

Drowsy driving is one of the primary causes of driving fatalities. Electroencephalography (EEG), a method for detecting drowsiness directly from brain activity, has been widely used for detecting driver drowsiness in real-time. Recent studies have revealed the great potential of using brain connectivity graphs constructed based on EEG data for drowsy state predictions. However, traditional brain connectivity networks are irrelevant to the downstream prediction tasks. This article proposes a connectivity-aware graph neural network (CAGNN) using a self-attention mechanism that can generate task-relevant connectivity networks via end-to-end training. Our method achieved an accuracy of 72.6% and outperformed other convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and graph generation methods based on a drowsy driving dataset. In addition, we introduced a squeeze-and-excitation (SE) block to capture important features and demonstrated that the SE attention score can reveal the most important feature band. We compared our generated connectivity graphs in the drowsy and alert states and found drowsiness connectivity patterns, including significantly reduced occipital connectivity and interregional connectivity. Additionally, we performed a post hoc interpretability analysis and found that our method could identify drowsiness features such as alpha spindles. Our code is available online1.

This paper is a conceptual paper drawing from the literature to shed light on lean startup (LS)practices for digital startups to highlight its value as a tool for entrepreneurs starting digitalventures. Digital entrepreneurs could benefit from various tools developed for startups, such aslean startup (LS) practices that have been promoted to help entrepreneurs fight uncertainties. Ontop of what an ordinary startup could face, digital startups find additional uncertainty challengesarising from the particular characteristics of digital technologies. Most studies investigating theadoption of LS practices focus on software startups in mature entrepreneurial ecosystems,disregarding their applicability for opportunity exploitation in other technological backgrounds.This paper will summarize some tools that might be instrumental for digital startups. By doingso, we draw the attention of entrepreneurs, researchers, and practitioners to tackle the challengesof managing digital startups and equip entrepreneurs to cope with them better by improving theirtoolsets.

We study the complexity of isomorphism problems for d-way arrays, or tensors, under natural actions by classical groups such as orthogonal, unitary, and symplectic groups. These problems arise naturally in statistical data analysis and quantum information. We study two types of complexitytheoretic questions. First, for a fixed action type (isomorphism, conjugacy, etc.), we relate the complexity of the isomorphism problem over a classical group to that over the general linear group. Second, for a fixed group type (orthogonal, unitary, or symplectic), we compare the complexity of the isomorphism problems for different actions. Our main results are as follows. First, for orthogonal and symplectic groups acting on 3-way arrays, the isomorphism problems reduce to the corresponding problems over the general linear group. Second, for orthogonal and unitary groups, the isomorphism problems of five natural actions on 3-way arrays are polynomial-Time equivalent, and the d-Tensor isomorphism problem reduces to the 3-Tensor isomorphism problem for any fixed d 3. For unitary groups, the preceding result implies that LOCC classification of tripartite quantum states is at least as difficult as LOCC classification of d-partite quantum states for any d. Lastly, we also show that the graph isomorphism problem reduces to the tensor isomorphism problem over orthogonal and unitary groups.

View description>>

Abstract We present a quantum circuit compiler that prepares an algorithm-specific graph state from quantum circuits described in high level languages, such as Cirq and Q#. The computation can then be implemented using a series of non-Pauli measurements on this graph state. By compiling the graph state directly instead of starting with a standard lattice cluster state and preparing it over the course of the computation, we are able to better understand the resource costs involved and eliminate wasteful Pauli measurements on the actual quantum device. Access to this algorithm-specific graph state also allows for optimisation over locally equivalent graph states to implement the same quantum circuit. The compiler presented here finds ready application in measurement based quantum computing, NISQ devices and logical level compilation for fault tolerant implementations.
