There is a growing acknowledgment of the significance of social determinants of health in shaping fair public health policies. These determinants, reflected in emerging data streams like mobility and social media data, are increasingly integral to public health models. However, privacy concerns impede broad access to sensitive data, because even non-identifiable data are susceptible to deductive disclosure. To address this, synthetic populations trained on such data emerge as a privacy-conscious solution, offering the added benefit of exploring various "what-if" scenarios. This paper delves into the application of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to craft synthetic populations that tackle privacy issues linked to social determinants of health data. Utilizing the 2019 PUMS dataset for Florida, the study trains the GAN to produce diverse and adaptable synthetic populations. An autoencoder manages the mix of continuous and categorical variables, ensuring the generated data aligns with categorical ranges. The results, assessed by comparing marginal distributions and employing tSNE, underscore the GAN's efficacy in balancing privacy and data utility. The significance of this work lies in identifying the promise of GANs in generating synthetic populations to advance health research.

While progress in 2D generative models of human appearance has been rapid, many applications require 3D avatars that can be animated and rendered. Unfortunately, most existing methods for learning generative models of 3D humans with diverse shape and appearance require 3D training data, which is limited and expensive to acquire. The key to progress is hence to learn generative models of 3D avatars from abundant unstructured 2D image collections. However, learning realistic and complete 3D appearance and geometry in this under-constrained setting remains challenging, especially in the presence of loose clothing such as dresses. In this paper, we propose a new adversarial generative model of realistic 3D people learned from 2D images. Our method captures shape and deformation of the body and loose clothing by adopting a holistic 3D generator and integrating an efficient, flexible, articulation module. To improve realism, we train our model using multiple discriminators while also integrating geometric cues in the form of predicted 2D normal maps. We experimentally find that our method outperforms previous 3D- and articulation-aware methods in terms of geometry and appearance. We validate the effectiveness of our model and the importance of each component via systematic ablation studies.

In recent years, stochastic detectors have gained prominence in networked systems for anomaly detection. These detectors have demonstrated advantages over their traditional counterparts, particularly in safe-guarding against data integrity attacks targeting state estimation. Despite these advancements, the impact of the detector on alarm performance-such as alarm-triggering rates at normal conditions-remains under-explored, especially in scenarios where delay timers are applied to the raw alarm sequence. This study delves into the monitoring of a correlated Gaussian process variable using stochastic detectors. An explicit formula for the alarm performance is given, highlighting how it is influenced by the duration of delay timers. The efficacy of the proposed approach is validated through numerical examples and a simplified process model.

Neural network sparsification is a promising avenue to save computational time and memory costs, especially in an age where many successful AI models are becoming too large to naïvely deploy on consumer hardware. While much work has focused on different weight pruning criteria, the overall sparsifiability of the network, i.e., its capacity to be pruned without quality loss, has often been overlooked. We present Sparsifiability via the Marginal likelihood (SpaM), a pruning framework that highlights the effectiveness of using the Bayesian marginal likelihood in conjunction with sparsity-inducing priors for making neural networks more sparsifiable. Our approach implements an automatic Occam's razor that selects the most sparsifiable model that still explains the data well, both for structured and unstructured sparsification. In addition, we demonstrate that the pre-computed posterior precision from the Laplace approximation can be re-used to define a cheap pruning criterion, which outperforms many existing (more expensive) approaches. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework, especially at high sparsity levels, across a range of different neural network architectures and datasets.

We study the computation of the global generalized Nash equilibrium (GNE) for a class of non-convex multi-player games, where players' actions are subject to both local and coupling constraints. Due to the non-convex payoff functions, we employ canonical duality to reformulate the setting as a complementary problem. Under given conditions, we reveal the relation between the stationary point and the global GNE. According to the convex-concave properties within the complementary function, we propose a continuous-time mirror descent to compute GNE by generating functions in the Bregman divergence and the damping-based design. Then, we devise several Lyapunov functions to prove that the trajectory along the dynamics is bounded and convergent.
