The last few years have seen a lot of work to address the challenge of low-latency and high-throughput convolutional neural network inference. Integrated photonics has the potential to dramatically accelerate neural networks because of its low-latency nature. Combined with the concept of Joint Transform Correlator (JTC), the computationally expensive convolution functions can be computed instantaneously (time of flight of light) with almost no cost. This 'free' convolution computation provides the theoretical basis of the proposed PhotoFourier JTC-based CNN accelerator. PhotoFourier addresses a myriad of challenges posed by on-chip photonic computing in the Fourier domain including 1D lenses and high-cost optoelectronic conversions. The proposed PhotoFourier accelerator achieves more than 28X better energy-delay product compared to state-of-art photonic neural network accelerators.

我们研究了图神经网络（GNN）的解释性，作为阐明其工作机制的一步。尽管大多数当前方法都集中在解释图节点，边缘或功能上，但我们认为，作为GNNS的固有功能机制，消息流对执行解释性更为自然。为此，我们在这里提出了一种新颖的方法，即FlowX，以通过识别重要的消息流来解释GNN。为了量化流量的重要性，我们建议遵循合作游戏理论中沙普利价值观的哲学。为了解决计算所有联盟边际贡献的复杂性，我们提出了一个近似方案，以计算类似沙普利的值，作为进一步再分配训练的初步评估。然后，我们提出一种学习算法来训练流量评分并提高解释性。关于合成和现实世界数据集的实验研究表明，我们提出的FlowX导致GNN的解释性提高。

分数（OOD）学习涉及培训和测试数据遵循不同分布的方案。尽管在机器学习中已经深入研究了一般的OOD问题，但图形OOD只是一个新兴领域。目前，缺少针对图形OOD方法评估的系统基准。在这项工作中，我们旨在为图表开发一个被称为GOOD的OOD基准。我们明确地在协变量和概念变化和设计数据拆分之间进行了区分，以准确反映不同的变化。我们考虑图形和节点预测任务，因为在设计变化时存在关键差异。总体而言，Good包含8个具有14个域选择的数据集。当与协变量，概念和无移位结合使用时，我们获得了42个不同的分裂。我们在7种常见的基线方法上提供了10种随机运行的性能结果。这总共导致294个数据集模型组合。我们的结果表明，分布和OOD设置之间的性能差距很大。我们的结果还阐明了通过不同方法的协变量和概念转移之间的不同性能趋势。我们的良好基准是一个不断增长的项目，并希望随着该地区的发展，数量和种类繁多。可以通过$ \ href {https://github.com/divelab/good/} {\ text {https://github.com/divelab/good/good/}} $访问良好基准。

具有最小延迟的人工神经网络的决策对于诸如导航，跟踪和实时机器动作系统之类的许多应用来说是至关重要的。这要求机器学习硬件以高吞吐量处理多维数据。不幸的是，处理卷积操作是数据分类任务的主要计算工具，遵循有挑战性的运行时间复杂性缩放法。然而，在傅立叶光学显示器 - 光处理器中同心地实现卷积定理，使得不迭代的O（1）运行时复杂度以超过1,000×1,000大矩阵的数据输入。在此方法之后，这里我们展示了具有傅里叶卷积神经网络（FCNN）加速器的数据流多核图像批处理。我们将大规模矩阵的图像批量处理显示为傅立叶域中的数字光处理模块执行的被动的2000万点产品乘法。另外，我们通过利用多种时空衍射令并进一步并行化该光学FCNN系统，从而实现了最先进的FCNN加速器的98倍的产量改进。综合讨论与系统能力边缘工作相关的实际挑战突出了傅立叶域和决议缩放法律的串扰问题。通过利用展示技术中的大规模平行性加速卷积带来了基于VAN Neuman的机器学习加速度。

深入学习，核算用于使用精心讲解的神经网络，最近被开发为一种有效而强大的工具，可以解决物理和其他科学中的不同问题。在目前的工作中，我们提出了一种基于混合网络的新型学习方法，其集成了两种不同类型的神经网络：长期内存（LSTM）和深度剩余网络（Reset），以克服数值模拟中遇到困难实际系统的强烈振动动态演变。通过以双倍潜力的浓缩物的动态为例，我们表明我们的新方法是高效的预学习和对整个动态的高保真预测。这种利益来自LSTM和Reset的组合，并且在直接学习的情况下，单个网络是不可能实现的。我们的方法可以应用于借助于辅助频谱分析模拟具有快多频振荡的系统中的复杂协作动态。

在软件项目中引入机器学习（ML）组件创造了软件工程师与数据科学家和其他专家合作。虽然合作可以始终具有挑战性，但ML介绍了探索性模型开发过程的额外挑战，需要额外的技能和知识，测试ML系统的困难，需要连续演化和监测，以及非传统质量要求，如公平性和解释性。通过采访来自28个组织的45名从业者，我们确定了在建立和将ML系统部署到生产时面临的关键合作挑战。我们报告了生产ML系统的开发中的共同合作点，以获得要求，数据和集成以及相应的团队模式和挑战。我们发现，这些挑战中的大部分挑战围绕通信，文档，工程和流程以及收集建议以解决这些挑战。

深度学习方法正在实现许多人工智能任务上的不断增长。深层模型的一个主要局限性是它们不适合可解释性。可以通过开发事后技术来解释预测，从而产生解释性领域，从而规避这种限制。最近，关于图像和文本的深层模型的解释性取得了重大进展。在图数据的领域，图形神经网络（GNN）及其解释性正在迅速发展。但是，既没有对GNN解释性方法的统一处理，也没有标准的基准和测试床。在这项调查中，我们提供了当前GNN解释性方法的统一和分类观点。我们对这一主题的统一和分类治疗对现有方法的共同性和差异阐明了灯光，并为进一步的方法论发展奠定了基础。为了促进评估，我们生成了一组专门用于GNN解释性的基准图数据集。我们总结了当前的数据集和指标，以评估GNN的解释性。总的来说，这项工作提供了GNN解释性和评估标准化测试床的统一方法论。

In this paper, we propose a robust 3D detector, named Cross Modal Transformer (CMT), for end-to-end 3D multi-modal detection. Without explicit view transformation, CMT takes the image and point clouds tokens as inputs and directly outputs accurate 3D bounding boxes. The spatial alignment of multi-modal tokens is performed implicitly, by encoding the 3D points into multi-modal features. The core design of CMT is quite simple while its performance is impressive. CMT obtains 73.0% NDS on nuScenes benchmark. Moreover, CMT has a strong robustness even if the LiDAR is missing. Code will be released at https://github.com/junjie18/CMT.

Dataset distillation has emerged as a prominent technique to improve data efficiency when training machine learning models. It encapsulates the knowledge from a large dataset into a smaller synthetic dataset. A model trained on this smaller distilled dataset can attain comparable performance to a model trained on the original training dataset. However, the existing dataset distillation techniques mainly aim at achieving the best trade-off between resource usage efficiency and model utility. The security risks stemming from them have not been explored. This study performs the first backdoor attack against the models trained on the data distilled by dataset distillation models in the image domain. Concretely, we inject triggers into the synthetic data during the distillation procedure rather than during the model training stage, where all previous attacks are performed. We propose two types of backdoor attacks, namely NAIVEATTACK and DOORPING. NAIVEATTACK simply adds triggers to the raw data at the initial distillation phase, while DOORPING iteratively updates the triggers during the entire distillation procedure. We conduct extensive evaluations on multiple datasets, architectures, and dataset distillation techniques. Empirical evaluation shows that NAIVEATTACK achieves decent attack success rate (ASR) scores in some cases, while DOORPING reaches higher ASR scores (close to 1.0) in all cases. Furthermore, we conduct a comprehensive ablation study to analyze the factors that may affect the attack performance. Finally, we evaluate multiple defense mechanisms against our backdoor attacks and show that our attacks can practically circumvent these defense mechanisms.

Automatic music generation with artificial intelligence typically requires a large amount of data which is hard to obtain for many less common genres and musical instruments. To tackle this issue, we present ongoing work and preliminary findings on the possibility for deep models to transfer knowledge from language to music, by finetuning large language models pre-trained on a massive text corpus on only hundreds of MIDI files of drum performances. We show that by doing so, one of the largest, state-of-the-art models (GPT3) is capable of generating reasonable drum grooves, while models that are not pre-trained (Transformer) shows no such ability beyond naive repetition. Evaluating generated music is a challenging task, more so is evaluating drum grooves with little precedence in literature. Hence, we propose a tailored structural evaluation method and analyze drum grooves produced by GPT3 compared to those played by human professionals, exposing the strengths and weaknesses of such generation by language-to-music transfer. Our findings suggest that language-to-music transfer learning with large language models is viable and promising.
