以前在外围防御游戏中的研究主要集中在完全可观察到的环境上，在该环境中，所有玩家都知道真正的玩家状态。但是，这对于实际实施而言是不现实的，因为捍卫者可能必须感知入侵者并估计其国家。在这项工作中，我们在照片真实的模拟器和现实世界中研究外围防御游戏，要求捍卫者从视力中估算入侵者状态。我们通过域随机化训练一个基于机器学习的系统，用于入侵者姿势检测，该系统汇总了多个视图，以减少状态估计错误并适应防御策略来解决此问题。我们新介绍性能指标来评估基于视觉的外围防御。通过广泛的实验，我们表明我们的方法改善了国家的估计，最终在两场比赛中的VS-1-Intruder游戏和2-Fefenders-VS-1-Intruder游戏中最终进行了外围防御性能。

Online personalized recommendation services are generally hosted in the cloud where users query the cloud-based model to receive recommended input such as merchandise of interest or news feed. State-of-the-art recommendation models rely on sparse and dense features to represent users' profile information and the items they interact with. Although sparse features account for 99% of the total model size, there was not enough attention paid to the potential information leakage through sparse features. These sparse features are employed to track users' behavior, e.g., their click history, object interactions, etc., potentially carrying each user's private information. Sparse features are represented as learned embedding vectors that are stored in large tables, and personalized recommendation is performed by using a specific user's sparse feature to index through the tables. Even with recently-proposed methods that hides the computation happening in the cloud, an attacker in the cloud may be able to still track the access patterns to the embedding tables. This paper explores the private information that may be learned by tracking a recommendation model's sparse feature access patterns. We first characterize the types of attacks that can be carried out on sparse features in recommendation models in an untrusted cloud, followed by a demonstration of how each of these attacks leads to extracting users' private information or tracking users by their behavior over time.

Intelligently extracting and linking complex scientific information from unstructured text is a challenging endeavor particularly for those inexperienced with natural language processing. Here, we present a simple sequence-to-sequence approach to joint named entity recognition and relation extraction for complex hierarchical information in scientific text. The approach leverages a pre-trained large language model (LLM), GPT-3, that is fine-tuned on approximately 500 pairs of prompts (inputs) and completions (outputs). Information is extracted either from single sentences or across sentences in abstracts/passages, and the output can be returned as simple English sentences or a more structured format, such as a list of JSON objects. We demonstrate that LLMs trained in this way are capable of accurately extracting useful records of complex scientific knowledge for three representative tasks in materials chemistry: linking dopants with their host materials, cataloging metal-organic frameworks, and general chemistry/phase/morphology/application information extraction. This approach represents a simple, accessible, and highly-flexible route to obtaining large databases of structured knowledge extracted from unstructured text.

Large language models (LLMs) have been shown to be able to perform new tasks based on a few demonstrations or natural language instructions. While these capabilities have led to widespread adoption, most LLMs are developed by resource-rich organizations and are frequently kept from the public. As a step towards democratizing this powerful technology, we present BLOOM, a 176B-parameter open-access language model designed and built thanks to a collaboration of hundreds of researchers. BLOOM is a decoder-only Transformer language model that was trained on the ROOTS corpus, a dataset comprising hundreds of sources in 46 natural and 13 programming languages (59 in total). We find that BLOOM achieves competitive performance on a wide variety of benchmarks, with stronger results after undergoing multitask prompted finetuning. To facilitate future research and applications using LLMs, we publicly release our models and code under the Responsible AI License.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is having a tremendous impact across most areas of science. Applications of AI in healthcare have the potential to improve our ability to detect, diagnose, prognose, and intervene on human disease. For AI models to be used clinically, they need to be made safe, reproducible and robust, and the underlying software framework must be aware of the particularities (e.g. geometry, physiology, physics) of medical data being processed. This work introduces MONAI, a freely available, community-supported, and consortium-led PyTorch-based framework for deep learning in healthcare. MONAI extends PyTorch to support medical data, with a particular focus on imaging, and provide purpose-specific AI model architectures, transformations and utilities that streamline the development and deployment of medical AI models. MONAI follows best practices for software-development, providing an easy-to-use, robust, well-documented, and well-tested software framework. MONAI preserves the simple, additive, and compositional approach of its underlying PyTorch libraries. MONAI is being used by and receiving contributions from research, clinical and industrial teams from around the world, who are pursuing applications spanning nearly every aspect of healthcare.

基于注意力的神经网络在许多AI任务中都普遍存在。尽管其出色的算法性能，但注意力机制和前馈网络（FFN）的使用仍需要过多的计算和内存资源，这通常会损害其硬件性能。尽管已经引入了各种稀疏变体，但大多数方法仅着重于缓解算法级别上的二次注意力缩放，而无需明确考虑将其方法映射到真实硬件设计上的效率。此外，大多数努力仅专注于注意机制或FFN，但没有共同优化这两个部分，导致当前的大多数设计在处理不同的输入长度时缺乏可扩展性。本文从硬件角度系统地考虑了不同变体中的稀疏模式。在算法级别上，我们提出了Fabnet，这是一种适合硬件的变体，它采用统一的蝴蝶稀疏模式来近似关注机制和FFN。在硬件级别上，提出了一种新颖的适应性蝴蝶加速器，可以在运行时通过专用硬件控件配置，以使用单个统一的硬件引擎加速不同的蝴蝶层。在远程 - ARENA数据集上，FabNet达到了与香草变压器相同的精度，同时将计算量减少10到66次，参数数量为2至22次。通过共同优化算法和硬件，我们的基于FPGA的蝴蝶加速器在归一化到同一计算预算的最新加速器上达到了14.2至23.2倍的速度。与Raspberry Pi 4和Jetson Nano上优化的CPU和GPU设计相比，我们的系统在相同的功率预算下的最大273.8和15.1倍。

联合学习（FL）旨在对多个数据所有者持有的分布式数据执行隐私的机器学习。为此，FL要求数据所有者在本地执行培训，并与中央服务器共享梯度更新（而不是私人输入），然后将其安全地汇总在多个数据所有者上。尽管汇总本身并不能证明提供隐私保护，但先前的工作表明，如果批处理大小足够大，则足够了。在本文中，我们提出了鸡尾酒会攻击（CPA），与先前的信念相反，能够从汇总的渐变中恢复私人输入，这是批量较大的大小。 CPA利用了至关重要的见解，即来自完全连接的层的总梯度是其输入的线性组合，这使我们将梯度反演作为盲源分离（BSS）问题（非正式地称为鸡尾酒会问题）。我们适应独立的组件分析（ICA） - BSS问题的经典解决方案 - 恢复针对完全连接和卷积网络的私人输入，并表明CPA明显优于先前的梯度反转攻击，对成像网的输入量表，并表现出Imagenet大小的输入的范围最高可达1024的大批量。

ICECUBE是一种用于检测1 GEV和1 PEV之间大气和天体中微子的光学传感器的立方公斤阵列，该阵列已部署1.45 km至2.45 km的南极的冰盖表面以下1.45 km至2.45 km。来自ICE探测器的事件的分类和重建在ICeCube数据分析中起着核心作用。重建和分类事件是一个挑战，这是由于探测器的几何形状，不均匀的散射和冰中光的吸收，并且低于100 GEV的光，每个事件产生的信号光子数量相对较少。为了应对这一挑战，可以将ICECUBE事件表示为点云图形，并将图形神经网络（GNN）作为分类和重建方法。 GNN能够将中微子事件与宇宙射线背景区分开，对不同的中微子事件类型进行分类，并重建沉积的能量，方向和相互作用顶点。基于仿真，我们提供了1-100 GEV能量范围的比较与当前ICECUBE分析中使用的当前最新最大似然技术，包括已知系统不确定性的影响。对于中微子事件分类，与当前的IceCube方法相比，GNN以固定的假阳性速率（FPR）提高了信号效率的18％。另外，GNN在固定信号效率下将FPR的降低超过8（低于半百分比）。对于能源，方向和相互作用顶点的重建，与当前最大似然技术相比，分辨率平均提高了13％-20％。当在GPU上运行时，GNN能够以几乎是2.7 kHz的中位数ICECUBE触发速率的速率处理ICECUBE事件，这打开了在在线搜索瞬态事件中使用低能量中微子的可能性。

学习在无人驾驶汽车（UAV）捕获的图像中检测物体（例如人类）通常会遭受无人机对物体的位置造成的巨大变化。此外，现有的基于无人机的基准数据集不提供足够的数据集元数据，这对于精确的模型诊断至关重要，并且学习功能不变。在本文中，我们介绍了大天使，这是第一个基于无人机的对象检测数据集，该数据集由具有相似想象条件以及无人机位置以及对象姿势元数据捕获的真实和合成子集组成。一系列实验经过精心设计，使用最先进的对象检测器设计，以证明在模型评估过程中利用元数据的好处。此外，还提供了几种涉及模型微调过程中涉及真实和合成数据的关键见解。最后，我们讨论了有关大天使的优势，局限性和未来方向，以突出其对更广泛的机器学习社区的独特价值。

尖峰神经网络（SNN）提供了一个新的计算范式，能够高度平行，实时处理。光子设备是设计与SNN计算范式相匹配的高带宽，平行体系结构的理想选择。 CMO和光子元件的协整允许将低损耗的光子设备与模拟电子设备结合使用，以更大的非线性计算元件的灵活性。因此，我们在整体硅光子学（SIPH）过程上设计和模拟了光电尖峰神经元电路，该过程复制了超出泄漏的集成和火（LIF）之外有用的尖峰行为。此外，我们探索了两种学习算法，具有使用Mach-Zehnder干涉法（MZI）网格作为突触互连的片上学习的潜力。实验证明了随机反向传播（RPB）的变体，并在简单分类任务上与标准线性回归的性能相匹配。同时，将对比性HEBBIAN学习（CHL）规则应用于由MZI网格组成的模拟神经网络，以进行随机输入输出映射任务。受CHL训练的MZI网络的性能比随机猜测更好，但不符合理想神经网络的性能（没有MZI网格施加的约束）。通过这些努力，我们证明了协调的CMO和SIPH技术非常适合可扩展的SNN计算体系结构的设计。
