A PAC-Bayes Approach for Controlling Unknown Linear Discrete-time Systems

This paper presents a PAC-Bayes framework for learning controllers for unknown stochastic linear discrete-time systems, where the system parameters are drawn from a fixed but unknown distribution. We derive a data-dependent high probability bound on the performance of any learned (stochastic) controller, and propose novel efficient learning algorithms with theoretical guarantees, which can be implemented for both finite and infinite controller spaces. Compared to prior work, our bound holds for unbounded quadratic cost. In the special case where LQG is optimal, our numerical results suggest that the learned controllers achieve comparable performance to LQG.

Graph Neural Networks for Power Allocation in Wireless Networks with Full Duplex Nodes

Due to mutual interference between users, power allocation problems in wireless networks are often non-convex and computationally challenging. Graph neural networks (GNNs) have recently emerged as a promising approach to tackling these problems and an approach that exploits the underlying topology of wireless networks. In this paper, we propose a novel graph representation method for wireless networks that include full-duplex (FD) nodes. We then design a corresponding FD Graph Neural Network (F-GNN) with the aim of allocating transmit powers to maximise the network throughput. Our results show that our F-GNN achieves state-of-art performance with significantly less computation time. Besides, F-GNN offers an excellent trade-off between performance and complexity compared to classical approaches. We further refine this trade-off by introducing a distance-based threshold for inclusion or exclusion of edges in the network. We show that an appropriately chosen threshold reduces required training time by roughly 20% with a relatively minor loss in performance.

A Learning-Based Approach to Approximate Coded Computation

Lagrange coded computation (LCC) is essential to solving problems about matrix polynomials in a coded distributed fashion; nevertheless, it can only solve the problems that are representable as matrix polynomials. In this paper, we propose AICC, an AI-aided learning approach that is inspired by LCC but also uses deep neural networks (DNNs). It is appropriate for coded computation of more general functions. Numerical simulations demonstrate the suitability of the proposed approach for the coded computation of different matrix functions that are often utilized in digital signal processing.

Fast Rate Generalization Error Bounds: Variations on a Theme

A recent line of works, initiated by Russo and Xu, has shown that the generalization error of a learning algorithm can be upper bounded by information measures. In most of the relevant works, the convergence rate of the expected generalization error is in the form of O(sqrt{lambda/n}) where lambda is some information-theoretic quantities such as the mutual information between the data sample and the learned hypothesis. However, such a learning rate is typically considered to be "slow", compared to a "fast rate" of O(1/n) in many learning scenarios. In this work, we first show that the square root does not necessarily imply a slow rate, and a fast rate (O(1/n)) result can still be obtained using this bound under appropriate assumptions. Furthermore, we identify the key conditions needed for the fast rate generalization error, which we call the (eta,c)-central condition. Under this condition, we give information-theoretic bounds on the generalization error and excess risk, with a convergence rate of O(λ/{n}) for specific learning algorithms such as empirical risk minimization. Finally, analytical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the bounds.

On the Capacity-Achieving Input of Channels with Phase Quantization

Several information-theoretic studies on channels with output quantization have identified the capacity-achieving input distributions for different fading channels with 1-bit in-phase and quadrature (I/Q) output quantization. However, an exact characterization of the capacity-achieving input distribution for channels with multi-bit phase quantization has not been provided. In this paper, we consider four different channel models with multi-bit phase quantization at the output and identify the optimal input distribution for each channel model. We first consider a complex Gaussian channel with $b$-bit phase-quantized output and prove that the capacity-achieving distribution is a rotated $2^b$-phase shift keying (PSK). The analysis is then extended to multiple fading scenarios. We show that the optimality of rotated $2^b$-PSK continues to hold under noncoherent fast fading Rician channels with $b$-bit phase quantization when line-of-sight (LoS) is present. When channel state information (CSI) is available at the receiver, we identify $\frac{2π}{2^b}$-symmetry and constant amplitude as the necessary and sufficient conditions for the ergodic capacity-achieving input distribution; which a $2^b$-PSK satisfies. Finally, an optimum power control scheme is presented which achieves ergodic capacity when CSI is also available at the transmitter.

On the Capacity-Achieving Input of the Gaussian Channel with Polar Quantization

The polar receiver architecture is a receiver design that captures the envelope and phase information of the signal rather than its in-phase and quadrature components. Several studies have demonstrated the robustness of polar receivers to phase noise and other nonlinearities. Yet, the information-theoretic limits of polar receivers with finite-precision quantizers have not been investigated in the literature. The main contribution of this work is to identify the optimal signaling strategy for the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel with polar quantization at the output. More precisely, we show that the capacity-achieving modulation scheme has an amplitude phase shift keying (APSK) structure. Using this result, the capacity of the AWGN channel with polar quantization at the output is established by numerically optimizing the probability mass function of the amplitude. The capacity of the polar-quantized AWGN channel with $b_1$-bit phase quantizer and optimized single-bit magnitude quantizer is also presented. Our numerical findings suggest the existence of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) thresholds, above which the number of amplitude levels of the optimal APSK scheme and their respective probabilities change abruptly. Moreover, the manner in which the capacity-achieving input evolves with increasing SNR depends on the number of phase quantization bits.

Customized Local Differential Privacy for Multi-Agent Distributed Optimization

Real-time data-driven optimization and control problems over networks may require sensitive information of participating users to calculate solutions and decision variables, such as in traffic or energy systems. Adversaries with access to coordination signals may potentially decode information on individual users and put user privacy at risk. We develop local differential privacy, which is a strong notion that guarantees user privacy regardless of any auxiliary information an adversary may have, for a larger family of convex distributed optimization problems. The mechanism allows agent to customize their own privacy level based on local needs and parameter sensitivities. We propose a general sampling based approach for determining sensitivity and derive analytical bounds for specific quadratic problems. We analyze inherent trade-offs between privacy and suboptimality and propose allocation schemes to divide the maximum allowable noise, a privacy budget, among all participating agents. Our algorithm is implemented to enable privacy in distributed optimal power flow for electric grids.

Information-theoretic analysis for transfer learning

Transfer learning, or domain adaptation, is concerned with machine learning problems in which training and testing data come from possibly different distributions (denoted as $μ$ and $μ'$, respectively). In this work, we give an information-theoretic analysis on the generalization error and the excess risk of transfer learning algorithms, following a line of work initiated by Russo and Zhou. Our results suggest, perhaps as expected, that the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence $D(mu||mu')$ plays an important role in characterizing the generalization error in the settings of domain adaptation. Specifically, we provide generalization error upper bounds for general transfer learning algorithms and extend the results to a specific empirical risk minimization (ERM) algorithm where data from both distributions are available in the training phase. We further apply the method to iterative, noisy gradient descent algorithms, and obtain upper bounds which can be easily calculated, only using parameters from the learning algorithms. A few illustrative examples are provided to demonstrate the usefulness of the results. In particular, our bound is tighter in specific classification problems than the bound derived using Rademacher complexity.
