Physics-informed Neural Network (PINN) is one of the most preeminent solvers of Navier-Stokes equations, which are widely used as the governing equation of blood flow. However, current approaches, relying on full Navier-Stokes equations, are impractical for ultrafast Doppler ultrasound, the state-of-the-art technique for depiction of complex blood flow dynamics \emph{in vivo} through acquired thousands of frames (or, timestamps) per second. In this article, we first propose a novel training framework of PINN for solving Navier-Stokes equations by discretizing Navier-Stokes equations into steady state and sequentially solving steady-state Navier-Stokes equations with transfer learning. The novel training framework is coined as SeqPINN. Upon the success of SeqPINN, we adopt the idea of averaged constant stochastic gradient descent (SGD) as initialization and propose a parallel training scheme for all timestamps. To ensure an initialization that generalizes well, we borrow the concept of Stochastic Weight Averaging Gaussian to perform uncertainty estimation as an indicator of generalizability of the initialization. This algorithm, named SP-PINN, further expedites training of PINN while achieving comparable accuracy with SeqPINN. Finite-element simulations and \emph{in vitro} phantoms of single-branch and trifurcate blood vessels are used to evaluate the performance of SeqPINN and SP-PINN. Results show that both SeqPINN and SP-PINN are manyfold faster than the original design of PINN, while respectively achieving Root Mean Square Errors (RMSEs) of 1.01 cm/s and 1.26 cm/s on the straight vessel and 1.91 cm/s and 2.56 cm/s on the trifurcate blood vessel when recovering blood flow velocities.

On-device training for personalized learning is a challenging research problem. Being able to quickly adapt deep prediction models at the edge is necessary to better suit personal user needs. However, adaptation on the edge poses some questions on both the efficiency and sustainability of the learning process and on the ability to work under shifting data distributions. Indeed, naively fine-tuning a prediction model only on the newly available data results in catastrophic forgetting, a sudden erasure of previously acquired knowledge. In this paper, we detail the implementation and deployment of a hybrid continual learning strategy (AR1*) on a native Android application for real-time on-device personalization without forgetting. Our benchmark, based on an extension of the CORe50 dataset, shows the efficiency and effectiveness of our solution.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is pursuing an unprecedented machine-learning'breakthrough' technology -- and pioneering a new cybersecurity method intended to thwart multiple attacks at one time. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is pursuing an unprecedented machine-learning "breakthrough" technology -- and pioneering a new cybersecurity method intended to thwart multiple attacks at one time and stop newer attacks less recognizable to existing defenses. A DARPA-led "Lifelong Learning Machines" (L2M) program, intended to massively improve real-time AI and machine learning, rests upon the fundamental premise that certain machine-learning-capable systems might struggle to identify, integrate and organize some kinds of new or complicated yet-to-be-seen information. "If something new is different enough, the system may fail. This is why I wanted to have some kind of machine learning that learns during experiences. Systems do not know what to do in some situations," Hava Siegelmann, DARPA program manager at the Information Innovation Office and Professor of Computer Science at the University of Massachusetts.
