联合学习是一种新颖的框架，允许多个设备或机构在保留其私有数据时协同地培训机器学习模型。这种分散的方法易于遭受数据统计异质性的后果，无论是在不同的实体还是随着时间的推移，这可能导致缺乏会聚。为避免此类问题，在过去几年中提出了不同的方法。然而，数据可能在许多不同的方式中是异构的，并且当前的建议并不总是确定他们正在考虑的异质性的那种。在这项工作中，我们正式地分类数据统计异质性，并审查能够面对它的最显着的学习策略。与此同时，我们介绍了其他机器学习框架的方法，例如持续学习，也处理数据异质性，并且可以很容易地适应联邦学习设置。

这项工作介绍了使用伪层作为费米子决定因素的随机估计量的费米子晶状体理论中基于流动采样的量规均值架构。这是最先进的晶格场理论计算中的默认方法，这使得对流向模型在QCD等理论的实际应用至关重要。还概述了通过标准技术（例如/奇数预处理和HasenBusch分解）来改进基于流的采样方法的方法。提供了二维U（1）和SU（3）具有$ n_f = 2 $ FERMIONS的量规理论的数值演示。

语言模型既展示了定量的改进，又展示了新的定性功能，随着规模的增加。尽管它们具有潜在的变革性影响，但这些新能力的特征却很差。为了为未来的研究提供信息，为破坏性的新模型能力做准备，并改善社会有害的效果，至关重要的是，我们必须了解目前和近乎未来的能力和语言模型的局限性。为了应对这一挑战，我们介绍了超越模仿游戏基准（Big Bench）。 Big Bench目前由204个任务组成，由132家机构的442位作者贡献。任务主题是多样的，从语言学，儿童发展，数学，常识性推理，生物学，物理学，社会偏见，软件开发等等。 Big-Bench专注于被认为超出当前语言模型的功能的任务。我们评估了OpenAI的GPT型号，Google内部密集变压器体系结构和大型基础上的开关稀疏变压器的行为，跨越了数百万到数十亿个参数。此外，一个人类专家评估者团队执行了所有任务，以提供强大的基准。研究结果包括：模型性能和校准都随规模改善，但绝对的术语（以及与评估者的性能相比）；在模型类中的性能非常相似，尽管带有稀疏性。逐渐和预测的任务通常涉及大量知识或记忆成分，而在临界规模上表现出“突破性”行为的任务通常涉及多个步骤或组成部分或脆性指标；社交偏见通常会随着含糊不清的环境而随着规模而增加，但这可以通过提示来改善。

制定了具有机器学习模拟（骆驼）项目的宇宙学和天体物理学，通过数千名宇宙的流体动力模拟和机器学习将宇宙学与天体物理学结合起来。骆驼包含4,233个宇宙学仿真，2,049个n-body和2,184个最先进的流体动力模拟，在参数空间中采样巨大的体积。在本文中，我们介绍了骆驼公共数据发布，描述了骆驼模拟的特性和由它们产生的各种数据产品，包括光环，次麦，银河系和空隙目录，功率谱，Bispectra，Lyman - $ \ Alpha $光谱，概率分布函数，光环径向轮廓和X射线光子列表。我们还释放了超过骆驼 - 山姆的数十亿个星系的目录：与Santa Cruz半分析模型相结合的大量N身体模拟。我们释放包含350多个Terabytes的所有数据，并包含143,922个快照，数百万光环，星系和摘要统计数据。我们提供有关如何访问，下载，读取和处理数据AT \ URL {https://camels.readthedocs.io}的进一步技术详细信息。

深度学习（DL）是各种计算机视觉任务中使用的主要方法，因为它在许多任务上取得了相关结果。但是，在具有部分或没有标记数据的实际情况下，DL方法也容易出现众所周知的域移位问题。多源无监督的域适应性（MSDA）旨在通过从一袋源模型中分配弱知识来学习未标记域的预测指标。但是，大多数作品进行域适应性仅利用提取的特征并从损失函数设计的角度降低其域的转移。在本文中，我们认为仅基于域级特征处理域移动不足，但是在功能空间上对此类信息进行对齐也是必不可少的。与以前的工作不同，我们专注于网络设计，并建议将多源版本的域对齐层（MS-DIAL）嵌入预测变量的不同级别。这些层旨在匹配不同域之间的特征分布，并且可以轻松地应用于各种MSDA方法。为了显示我们方法的鲁棒性，我们考虑了两个具有挑战性的情况：数字识别和对象分类，进行了广泛的实验评估。实验结果表明，我们的方法可以改善最新的MSDA方法，从而在其分类精度上获得 +30.64％的相对增长。

维数减少（DR）技术有助于分析师理解高维空间的模式。这些技术通常由散点图表示，在不同的科学域中使用，并促进集群和数据样本之间的相似性分析。对于包含许多粒度的数据集或者当分析遵循信息可视化Mantra时，分层DR技术是最合适的方法，因为它们预先呈现了主要结构和需求的详细信息。然而，当前的分层DR技术并不完全能够解决文献问题，因为它们不保留跨分层级别的投影心理映射，或者不适合大多数数据类型。这项工作提出了Humap，一种新颖的等级维度减少技术，旨在灵活地保护本地和全球结构，并在整个分层勘探中保留心理贴图。我们提供了与现有的等级方法相比我们技术优势的经验证据，并显示了两种案例研究以证明其优势。

Dimensionality Reduction (DR) scatterplot layouts have become a ubiquitous visualization tool for analyzing multidimensional datasets. Despite their popularity, such scatterplots suffer from occlusion, especially when informative glyphs are used to represent data instances, potentially obfuscating critical information for the analysis under execution. Different strategies have been devised to address this issue, either producing overlap-free layouts which lack the powerful capabilities of contemporary DR techniques in uncovering interesting data patterns or eliminating overlaps as a post-processing strategy. Despite the good results of post-processing techniques, most of the best methods typically expand or distort the scatterplot area, thus reducing glyphs' size (sometimes) to unreadable dimensions, defeating the purpose of removing overlaps. This paper presents Distance Grid (DGrid), a novel post-processing strategy to remove overlaps from DR layouts that faithfully preserves the original layout's characteristics and bounds the minimum glyph sizes. We show that DGrid surpasses the state-of-the-art in overlap removal (through an extensive comparative evaluation considering multiple different metrics) while also being 2 or 3 orders of magnitude faster for large datasets.

Advances in computer vision and machine learning techniques have led to significant development in 2D and 3D human pose estimation from RGB cameras, LiDAR, and radars. However, human pose estimation from images is adversely affected by occlusion and lighting, which are common in many scenarios of interest. Radar and LiDAR technologies, on the other hand, need specialized hardware that is expensive and power-intensive. Furthermore, placing these sensors in non-public areas raises significant privacy concerns. To address these limitations, recent research has explored the use of WiFi antennas (1D sensors) for body segmentation and key-point body detection. This paper further expands on the use of the WiFi signal in combination with deep learning architectures, commonly used in computer vision, to estimate dense human pose correspondence. We developed a deep neural network that maps the phase and amplitude of WiFi signals to UV coordinates within 24 human regions. The results of the study reveal that our model can estimate the dense pose of multiple subjects, with comparable performance to image-based approaches, by utilizing WiFi signals as the only input. This paves the way for low-cost, broadly accessible, and privacy-preserving algorithms for human sensing.

Logic Mill is a scalable and openly accessible software system that identifies semantically similar documents within either one domain-specific corpus or multi-domain corpora. It uses advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques to generate numerical representations of documents. Currently it leverages a large pre-trained language model to generate these document representations. The system focuses on scientific publications and patent documents and contains more than 200 million documents. It is easily accessible via a simple Application Programming Interface (API) or via a web interface. Moreover, it is continuously being updated and can be extended to text corpora from other domains. We see this system as a general-purpose tool for future research applications in the social sciences and other domains.

This paper proposes a novel observer-based controller for Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) designed to directly receive measurements from a Vision-Aided Inertial Navigation System (VA-INS) and produce the required thrust and rotational torque inputs. The VA-INS is composed of a vision unit (monocular or stereo camera) and a typical low-cost 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) equipped with an accelerometer and a gyroscope. A major benefit of this approach is its applicability for environments where the Global Positioning System (GPS) is inaccessible. The proposed VTOL-UAV observer utilizes IMU and feature measurements to accurately estimate attitude (orientation), gyroscope bias, position, and linear velocity. Ability to use VA-INS measurements directly makes the proposed observer design more computationally efficient as it obviates the need for attitude and position reconstruction. Once the motion components are estimated, the observer-based controller is used to control the VTOL-UAV attitude, angular velocity, position, and linear velocity guiding the vehicle along the desired trajectory in six degrees of freedom (6 DoF). The closed-loop estimation and the control errors of the observer-based controller are proven to be exponentially stable starting from almost any initial condition. To achieve global and unique VTOL-UAV representation in 6 DoF, the proposed approach is posed on the Lie Group and the design in unit-quaternion is presented. Although the proposed approach is described in a continuous form, the discrete version is provided and tested. Keywords: Vision-aided inertial navigation system, unmanned aerial vehicle, vertical take-off and landing, stochastic, noise, Robotics, control systems, air mobility, observer-based controller algorithm, landmark measurement, exponential stability.
