Moreover, we develop stochastic gradient MCMC inference that is scalable to very long multivariate count time series.

InMTL, there areDdifferent labeled domains where data are related and the goal is to improve the predictive power of all domains altogether.

A new method for learning variational autoencoders (V AEs) is developed, based on Stein variational gradient descent. A key advantage of this approach is that one need not make parametric assumptions about the form of the encoder distribution. Performance is further enhanced by integrating the proposed encoder with importance sampling. Excellent performance is demonstrated across multiple unsupervised and semi-supervised problems, including semi-supervised analysis of the ImageNet data, demonstrating the scalability of the model to large datasets.

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have achieved significant success in generating real-valued data.

Improvements in spike sorting are always appreciated because of the always-increasing electrode array capabilities (e.g number of electrodes or density) leading to new computational challenges. Methodologically, their contribution is the observation that one can take the SVD of the mean of raw traces in the cluster order to i)regularize shape of templates, ii)obtain computational gains via a GPU implementation of the operations in equation 6. This methodological contribution leads to impressive improvements in time while maintaining comparable levels of accuracy. In general it is a very nice paper. However, I think this paper has major issues and it is not suitable for publication in the NIPS conference/proceedings. 1)Overall, it gives the impression that it hasn't been fleshed out enough.

A new form of variational autoencoder (VAE) is developed, in which the joint distribution of data and codes is considered in two (symmetric) forms: (i) from observed data fed through the encoder to yield codes, and (ii) from latent codes drawn from a simple prior and propagated through the decoder to manifest data. Lower bounds are learned for marginal log-likelihood fits observed data and latent codes. When learning with the variational bound, one seeks to minimize the symmetric Kullback-Leibler divergence of joint density functions from (i) and (ii), while simultaneously seeking to maximize the two marginal log-likelihoods. To facilitate learning, a new form of adversarial training is developed. An extensive set of experiments is performed, in which we demonstrate state-of-the-art data reconstruction and generation on several image benchmark datasets.

The relentless expansion of deep learning applications in recent years has prompted a pivotal shift toward on-device execution, driven by the urgent need for real-time processing, heightened privacy concerns, and reduced latency across diverse domains. This article addresses the challenges inherent in optimising the execution of deep neural networks (DNNs) on mobile devices, with a focus on device heterogeneity, multi-DNN execution, and dynamic runtime adaptation. We introduce CARIn, a novel framework designed for the optimised deployment of both single- and multi-DNN applications under user-defined service-level objectives. Leveraging an expressive multi-objective optimisation framework and a runtime-aware sorting and search algorithm (RASS) as the MOO solver, CARIn facilitates efficient adaptation to dynamic conditions while addressing resource contention issues associated with multi-DNN execution. Notably, RASS generates a set of configurations, anticipating subsequent runtime adaptation, ensuring rapid, low-overhead adjustments in response to environmental fluctuations. Extensive evaluation across diverse tasks, including text classification, scene recognition, and face analysis, showcases the versatility of CARIn across various model architectures, such as Convolutional Neural Networks and Transformers, and realistic use cases. We observe a substantial enhancement in the fair treatment of the problem's objectives, reaching 1.92x when compared to single-model designs and up to 10.69x in contrast to the state-of-the-art OODIn framework. Additionally, we achieve a significant gain of up to 4.06x over hardware-unaware designs in multi-DNN applications. Finally, our framework sustains its performance while effectively eliminating the time overhead associated with identifying the optimal design in response to environmental challenges.
