Recurrent neural networks (RNN) are the backbone of many text and speech applications. These architectures are typically made up of several computationally complex components such as; non-linear activation functions, normalization, bi-directional dependence and attention. In order to maintain good accuracy, these components are frequently run using full-precision floating-point computation, making them slow, inefficient and difficult to deploy on edge devices. In addition, the complex nature of these operations makes them challenging to quantize using standard quantization methods without a significant performance drop. We present a quantization-aware training method for obtaining a highly accurate integer-only recurrent neural network (iRNN). Our approach supports layer normalization, attention, and an adaptive piecewise linear (PWL) approximation of activation functions, to serve a wide range of state-of-the-art RNNs. The proposed method enables RNN-based language models to run on edge devices with $2\times$ improvement in runtime, and $4\times$ reduction in model size while maintaining similar accuracy as its full-precision counterpart.

Sunquakes are seismic emissions visible on the solar surface, associated with some solar flares. Although discovered in 1998, they have only recently become a more commonly detected phenomenon. Despite the availability of several manual detection guidelines, to our knowledge, the astrophysical data produced for sunquakes is new to the field of Machine Learning. Detecting sunquakes is a daunting task for human operators and this work aims to ease and, if possible, to improve their detection. Thus, we introduce a dataset constructed from acoustic egression-power maps of solar active regions obtained for Solar Cycles 23 and 24 using the holography method. We then present a pedagogical approach to the application of machine learning representation methods for sunquake detection using AutoEncoders, Contrastive Learning, Object Detection and recurrent techniques, which we enhance by introducing several custom domain-specific data augmentation transformations. We address the main challenges of the automated sunquake detection task, namely the very high noise patterns in and outside the active region shadow and the extreme class imbalance given by the limited number of frames that present sunquake signatures. With our trained models, we find temporal and spatial locations of peculiar acoustic emission and qualitatively associate them to eruptive and high energy emission. While noting that these models are still in a prototype stage and there is much room for improvement in metrics and bias levels, we hypothesize that their agreement on example use cases has the potential to enable detection of weak solar acoustic manifestations.

With climate change predicted to increase the likelihood of landslide events, there is a growing need for rapid landslide detection technologies that help inform emergency responses. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a remote sensing technique that can provide measurements of affected areas independent of weather or lighting conditions. Usage of SAR, however, is hindered by domain knowledge that is necessary for the pre-processing steps and its interpretation requires expert knowledge. We provide simplified, pre-processed, machine-learning ready SAR datacubes for four globally located landslide events obtained from several Sentinel-1 satellite passes before and after a landslide triggering event together with segmentation maps of the landslides. From this dataset, using the Hokkaido, Japan datacube, we study the feasibility of SAR-based landslide detection with supervised deep learning (DL). Our results demonstrate that DL models can be used to detect landslides from SAR data, achieving an Area under the Precision-Recall curve exceeding 0.7. We find that additional satellite visits enhance detection performance, but that early detection is possible when SAR data is combined with terrain information from a digital elevation model. This can be especially useful for time-critical emergency interventions. Code is made publicly available at https://github.com/iprapas/landslide-sar-unet.

本文提出了一个贝叶斯框架，用于构建非线性，简约的浅层模型，用于多任务回归。提出的框架依赖于这样一个事实，即随机傅立叶特征（RFF）可以通过极端学习机器将RBF内核近似，其隐藏层由RFF形成。主要思想是将同一模型的两个双重视图结合在单个贝叶斯公式下，将稀疏的贝叶斯极限学习机器扩展到多任务问题。从内核方法的角度来看，提出的公式有助于通过RBF内核参数引入先前的域知识。从极端的学习机的角度来看，新的配方有助于控制过度拟合并实现简约的总体模型（服务每个任务的模型共享联合贝叶斯优化中选择的相同的RFF集合）。实验结果表明，在同一框架内将内核方法和极端学习机器的优势相结合可能会导致这两个范式中的每一个范式独立地取得的性能显着改善。

基于脑部的事件的神经形态处理系统已成为一种有前途的技术，尤其是生物医学电路和系统。但是，神经网络的神经形态和生物学实现都具有关键的能量和记忆约束。为了最大程度地减少在多核神经形态处理器中的内存资源的使用，我们提出了一种受生物神经网络启发的网络设计方法。我们使用这种方法来设计针对小世界网络优化的新路由方案，同时介绍了一种硬件感知的放置算法，该算法优化了针对小型世界网络模型的资源分配。我们使用规范的小世界网络验证算法，并为其他网络提供初步结果

由于其不断增加的资源需求，在低资源边缘设备上部署深层神经网络是具有挑战性的。最近的研究提出了无倍数的神经网络，以减少计算和记忆消耗。 Shift神经网络是这些减少的最有效工具之一。但是，现有的低位换档网络不如其完整的精度对应物准确，并且由于其固有的设计缺陷，无法有效地转移到广泛的任务中。我们提出了利用以下新颖设计的光泽网络。首先，我们证明低位移位网络中的零重量值既不有用，也不简化模型推断。因此，我们建议使用零移动机制来简化推理，同时增加模型容量。其次，我们设计了一个新的指标，以测量训练低位移位网络中的重量冻结问题，并提出一个符号尺度分解以提高训练效率。第三，我们提出了低变化的随机初始化策略，以提高模型在转移学习方案中的性能。我们对各种计算机视觉和语音任务进行了广泛的实验。实验结果表明，光泽网络明显胜过现有的低位乘法网络，并可以实现全精度对应物的竞争性能。它还表现出强大的转移学习表现，没有准确性下降。

自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）分类的机器学习研究有望改善临床诊断。但是，最近在临床成像方面的研究表明，生物标志物跨基准数据集的概括有限。尽管在神经影像学中增加了模型的复杂性和样本量，但ASD的分类性能仍然远离临床应用。这就提出了一个问题，即我们如何克服这些障碍来开发ASD的早期生物标志物。一种方法可能是重新考虑我们如何在机器学习模型中运作该疾病的理论基础。在这里，我们介绍了无监督的图表表示，这些图表明确绘制了ASD核心方面的神经机制，二元社会相互作用的缺陷，如双脑记录所评估，称为Hyperscanning，并评估了其预测性能。所提出的方法与现有方法不同，因为它更适合于在神经水平上捕获社会互动缺陷，并且适用于幼儿和婴儿。功能性红外光谱数据的首先结果表明，任务不可解释的图形表示的潜在预测能力。首先要利用与互动相关的缺陷来对ASD进行分类，这可能会刺激新方法和方法，以增强现有模型以实现未来发展的ASD生物标志物。

现实世界数据库很复杂，它们通常会呈现冗余，并在同一数据的异质和多个表示之间共享相关性。因此，在视图之间利用和解开共享信息至关重要。为此，最近的研究经常将所有观点融合到共享的非线性复杂潜在空间中，但它们失去了解释性。为了克服这一局限性，我们在这里提出了一种新的方法，将多个变异自动编码器（VAE）结构与因子分析潜在空间（FA-VAE）相结合。具体而言，我们使用VAE在连续的潜在空间中学习每个异质观点的私人表示。然后，我们通过使用线性投影矩阵将每个私有变量投影到低维的潜在空间来对共享潜在空间进行建模。因此，我们在私人信息和共享信息之间创建了可解释的层次依赖性。这样，新型模型可以同时：（i）从多种异质观点中学习，（ii）获得可解释的层次共享空间，以及（iii）在生成模型之间执行传输学习。
