This study addresses an issue of co-adaptation between a feature extractor and a classifier in a neural network. A naive joint optimization of a feature extractor and a classifier often brings situations in which an excessively complex feature distribution adapted to a very specific classifier degrades the test performance. We introduce a method called Feature-extractor Optimization through Classifier Anonymization (FOCA), which is designed to avoid an explicit co-adaptation between a feature extractor and a particular classifier by using many randomly-generated, weak classifiers during optimization. We put forth a mathematical proposition that states the FOCA features form a point-like distribution within the same class in a class-separable fashion under special conditions. Real-data experiments under more general conditions provide supportive evidences.

Motion sensors such as accelerometers and gyroscopes measure the instant acceleration and rotation of a device, in three dimensions. Raw data streams from motion sensors embedded in portable and wearable devices may reveal private information about u sers without their awareness. For example, motion data might disclose the weight or gender of a user, or enable their re-identification. To address this problem, we propose an on-device transformation of sensor data to be shared for specific applications, such as monitoring selected daily activities, without revealing information that enables user identification. We formulate the anonymization problem using an information-theoretic approach and propose a new multi-objective loss function for training deep autoencoders. This loss function helps minimizing user-identity information as well as data distortion to preserve the application-specific utility. The training process regulates the encoder to disregard user-identifiable patterns and tunes the decoder to shape the output independently of users in the training set. The trained autoencoder can be deployed on a mobile or wearable device to anonymize sensor data even for users who are not included in the training dataset. Data from 24 users transformed by the proposed anonymizing autoencoder lead to a promising trade-off between utility and privacy, with an accuracy for activity recognition above 92% and an accuracy for user identification below 7%.
Unsupervised domain adaptation aims to transfer the classifier learned from the source domain to the target domain in an unsupervised manner. With the help of target pseudo-labels, aligning class-level distributions and learning the classifier in the target domain are two widely used objectives. Existing methods often separately optimize these two individual objectives, which makes them suffer from the neglect of the other. However, optimizing these two aspects together is not trivial. To alleviate the above issues, we propose a novel method that jointly optimizes semantic domain alignment and target classifier learning in a holistic way. The joint optimization mechanism can not only eliminate their weaknesses but also complement their strengths. The theoretical analysis also verifies the favor of the joint optimization mechanism. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets show that the proposed method yields the best performance in comparison with the state-of-the-art unsupervised domain adaptation methods.
Deep neural networks, trained with large amount of labeled data, can fail to generalize well when tested with examples from a emph{target domain} whose distribution differs from the training data distribution, referred as the emph{source domain}. It can be expensive or even infeasible to obtain required amount of labeled data in all possible domains. Unsupervised domain adaptation sets out to address this problem, aiming to learn a good predictive model for the target domain using labeled examples from the source domain but only unlabeled examples from the target domain. Domain alignment approaches this problem by matching the source and target feature distributions, and has been used as a key component in many state-of-the-art domain adaptation methods. However, matching the marginal feature distributions does not guarantee that the corresponding class conditional distributions will be aligned across the two domains. We propose co-regularized domain alignment for unsupervised domain adaptation, which constructs multiple diverse feature spaces and aligns source and target distributions in each of them individually, while encouraging that alignments agree with each other with regard to the class predictions on the unlabeled target examples. The proposed method is generic and can be used to improve any domain adaptation method which uses domain alignment. We instantiate it in the context of a recent state-of-the-art method and observe that it provides significant performance improvements on several domain adaptation benchmarks.
Machine Learning (ML) helps us to recognize patterns from raw data. ML is used in numerous domains i.e. biomedical, agricultural, food technology, etc. Despite recent technological advancements, there is still room for substantial improvement in pred iction. Current ML models are based on classical theories of probability and statistics, which can now be replaced by Quantum Theory (QT) with the aim of improving the effectiveness of ML. In this paper, we propose the Binary Classifier Inspired by Quantum Theory (BCIQT) model, which outperforms the state of the art classification in terms of recall for every category.
It is known that intra-layer adaptive coupling among connected oscillators instigates explosive synchronization (ES) in multilayer networks. Taking an altogether different cue in the present work, we consider inter-layer adaptive coupling in a multip lex network of phase oscillators and show that the scheme gives rise to ES with an associated hysteresis irrespective of the network architecture of individual layers. The hysteresis is shaped by the inter-layer coupling strength and the frequency mismatch between the mirror nodes. We provide rigorous mean-field analytical treatment for the measure of global coherence and manifest they are in a good match with respective numerical assessments. Moreover, the analytical predictions provide a complete insight into how adaptive multiplexing suppresses the formation of a giant cluster, eventually giving birth to ES. The study will help in spotlighting the role of multiplexing in the emergence of ES in real-world systems represented by multilayer architecture. Particularly, it is relevant to those systems which have limitations towards change in intra-layer coupling strength.
