NeurIPS 2022 Workshop on All Things Attention: Bridging Different Perspectives on Attention2022Transformer-based models have gained large popularity and demonstrated promising results in long-term time-series forecasting in recent years. In addition to learning attention in time domain, recent works also explore learning attention in frequency domains (e.g., Fourier domain, wavelet domain), given that seasonal patterns can be better captured in these domains. In this work, we seek to understand the

NeurIPS 2022 Workshop on Machine Learning for Structural Biology2022Representation learning for proteins is an emerging area in geometric deep learning. Recent works have factored in both the relational (atomic bonds) and the geometric aspects (atomic positions) of the task, notably bringing together graph neural networks (GNNs) with neural networks for point clouds. The equivariances and invariances to geometric transformations (group actions such as rotations and translations

APS Physical Review Research2022We show how graph neural networks can be used to solve the canonical graph coloring problem. We frame graph coloring as a multi-class node classification problem and utilize an unsupervised training strategy based on the statistical-physics Potts model. Generalizations to other multi-class problems such as community detection, data clustering, and the minimum clique cover problem are straightforward. We

APS Physical Review Applied2022We solve robot trajectory planning problems at industry-relevant scales. Our end-to-end solution integrates highly versatile random-key algorithms with model stacking and ensemble techniques, as well as path relinking for solution refinement. The core optimization module consists of a biased random-key genetic algorithm (BRKGA). Through a distinct separation of problem-independent and problem-dependent

IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering Journal2022Web connectivity graphs and similar linked data such as inverted indexes are important components of the information access systems provided by social media and web search services. The Bipartite Graph Partitioning mechanism of Dhulipala et al. [KDD 2016] relabels the vertices of large sparse graphs, seeking to enhance compressibility and thus reduce the storage space occupied by these costly structures
