This study leverages the data representation capability of fuzzy based membership-mappings for practical secure distributed deep learning using fully homomorphic encryption. The impracticality issue of secure machine (deep) learning with fully homomorphic encrypted data, arising from large computational overhead, is addressed via applying fuzzy attributes. Fuzzy attributes are induced by globally convergent and robust variational membership-mappings based local deep models. Fuzzy attributes combine the local deep models in a robust and flexible manner such that the global model can be evaluated homomorphically in an efficient manner using a boolean circuit composed of bootstrapped binary gates. The proposed method, while preserving privacy in a distributed learning scenario, remains accurate, practical, and scalable. The method is evaluated through numerous experiments including demonstrations through MNIST dataset and Freiburg Groceries Dataset. Further, a biomedical application related to mental stress detection on individuals is considered.

Single-photon sensing has generated great interest as a prominent technique of long-distance and ultra-sensitive imaging, however, it tends to yield sparse and spatially biased point clouds, thus limiting its practical utility. In this work, we propose using point upsampling networks to increase point density and reduce spatial distortion in single-photon point cloud. Particularly, our network is built on the state space model which integrates a multi-path scanning mechanism to enrich spatial context, a bidirectional Mamba backbone to capture global geometry and local details, and an adaptive upsample shift module to correct offset-induced distortions. Extensive experiments are implemented on commonly-used datasets to confirm its high reconstruction accuracy and strong robustness to the distortion noise, and also on real-world data to demonstrate that our model is able to generate visually consistent, detail-preserving, and noise suppressed point clouds. Our work is the first to establish the upsampling framework for single-photon sensing, and hence opens a new avenue for single-photon sensing and its practical applications in the downstreaming tasks.

Deep learning, accounting for the use of an elaborate neural network, has recently been developed as an efficient and powerful tool to solve diverse problems in physics and other sciences. In the present work, we propose a novel learning method based on a hybrid network integrating two different kinds of neural networks: Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM) and Deep Residual Network(ResNet), in order to overcome the difficulty met in numerically simulating strongly-oscillating dynamical evolutions of physical systems. By taking the dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates in a double-well potential as an example, we show that our new method makes a high efficient pre-learning and a high-fidelity prediction about the whole dynamics. This benefits from the advantage of the combination of the LSTM and the ResNet and is impossibly achieved by a single network in the case of direct learning. Our method can be applied for simulating complex cooperative dynamics in a system with fast multiple-frequency oscillations with the aid of auxiliary spectrum analysis.

In this paper, we propose an effective THresholding method based on ORder Statistic, called THORS, to convert an arbitrary scoring-type classifier, which can induce a continuous cumulative distribution function of the score, into a cost-sensitive one. The procedure, uses order statistic to find an optimal threshold for classification, requiring almost no knowledge of classifiers itself. Unlike common data-driven methods, we analytically show that THORS has theoretical guaranteed performance, theoretical bounds for the costs and lower time complexity. Coupled with empirical results on several real-world data sets, we argue that THORS is the preferred cost-sensitive technique.
