Star sampling (SS) is a random sampling procedure on a graph wherein each sample consists of a randomly selected vertex (the star center) and its one-hop neighbors (the star endpoints). We consider the use of star sampling to find any member of an arbitrary target set of vertices in a graph, where the figure of merit (cost) is either the expected number of samples (unit cost) or the expected number of star centers plus star endpoints (linear cost) until a vertex in the target set is encountered, either as a star center or as a star point. We analyze this performance measure on three related star sampling paradigms: SS with replacement (SSR), SS without center replacement (SSC), and SS without star replacement (SSS). We derive exact and approximate expressions for the expected unit and linear costs of SSR, SSC, and SSS on Erdos-Renyi (ER) graphs. Our results show there is i) little difference in unit cost, but ii) significant difference in linear cost, across the three paradigms. Although our results are derived for ER graphs, experiments on real-world graphs suggest our performance expressions are reasonably accurate for non-ER graphs.

ertices in a graph, where the figure of merit (cost) is either the expected number of samples (unit cost) or the expected number of star centers plus star points (linear cost) until a vertex in the target set is encountered, either as a star center or as a star point. We analyze these two performance measures on three related star sampling paradigms: SS with replacement (SSR), SS without center replacement (SSC), and SS without star replacement (SSS). Exact and approximate expressions are derived for the expected unit and linear costs of SSR, SSC, and SSS on ErdH{o}s-R{e}nyi (ER) random graphs. The approximations are seen to be accurate. SSC/SSS are notably better than SSR under unit cost for low-density ER graphs, while SSS is notably better than SSR/SSC under linear cost for low- to moderate-density ER graphs. Simulations on twelve real-world graphs shows the cost approximations to be of variable quality: the SSR and SSC approximations are uniformly accurate, while the SSS approximation, derived for an ER graph, is of variable accuracy.
Program synthesis has emerged as a successful approach to the image parsing task. Most prior works rely on a two-step scheme involving supervised pretraining of a Seq2Seq model with synthetic programs followed by reinforcement learning (RL) for fine-
tuning with real reference images. Fully unsupervised approaches promise to train the model directly on the target images without requiring curated pretraining datasets. However, they struggle with the inherent sparsity of meaningful programs in the search space. In this paper, we present the first unsupervised algorithm capable of parsing constructive solid geometry (CSG) images into context-free grammar (CFG) without pretraining via non-differentiable renderer. To tackle the emph{non-Markovian} sparse reward problem, we combine three key ingredients -- (i) a grammar-encoded tree LSTM ensuring program validity (ii) entropy regularization and (iii) sampling without replacement from the CFG syntax tree. Empirically, our algorithm recovers meaningful programs in large search spaces (up to $3.8 times 10^{28}$). Further, even though our approach is fully unsupervised, it generalizes better than supervised methods on the synthetic 2D CSG dataset. On the 2D computer aided design (CAD) dataset, our approach significantly outperforms the supervised pretrained model and is competitive to the refined model.
We derive an unbiased estimator for expectations over discrete random variables based on sampling without replacement, which reduces variance as it avoids duplicate samples. We show that our estimator can be derived as the Rao-Blackwellization of thr
ee different estimators. Combining our estimator with REINFORCE, we obtain a policy gradient estimator and we reduce its variance using a built-in control variate which is obtained without additional model evaluations. The resulting estimator is closely related to other gradient estimators. Experiments with a toy problem, a categorical Variational Auto-Encoder and a structured prediction problem show that our estimator is the only estimator that is consistently among the best estimators in both high and low entropy settings.
We prove that any implementation of pivotal sampling is more efficient than multinomial sampling. This property entails the weak consistency of the Horvitz-Thompson estimator and the existence of a conservative variance estimator. A small simulation study supports our findings.
Fast and accurate performance analysis techniques are essential in early design space exploration and pre-silicon evaluations, including software eco-system development. In particular, on-chip communication continues to play an increasingly important
role as the many-core processors scale up. This paper presents the first performance analysis technique that targets networks-on-chip (NoCs) that employ weighted round-robin (WRR) arbitration. Besides fairness, WRR arbitration provides flexibility in allocating bandwidth proportionally to the importance of the traffic classes, unlike basic round-robin and priority-based arbitration. The proposed approach first estimates the effective service time of the packets in the queue due to WRR arbitration. Then, it uses the effective service time to compute the average waiting time of the packets. Next, we incorporate a decomposition technique to extend the analytical model to handle NoC of any size. The proposed approach achieves less than 5% error while executing real applications and 10% error under challenging synthetic traffic with different burstiness levels.
