Statistical inference for function-on-function linear regression
We propose a reproducing kernel Hilbert space approach to estimate the slope
in a function-on-function linear regression via penalised least squares, regularized by the
thin-plate spline smoothness penalty. In contrast to most of the work on functional linear
regression, our main focus is on statistical inference with respect to the sup-norm. This
point of view is motivated by the fact that slope (surfaces) with rather different shapes may
still be identified as similar when the difference is measured by an L2-type norm. However,
in applications it is often desirable to use metrics reflecting the visualization of the objects
in the statistical analysis.
We prove the weak convergence of the slope surface estimator as a process in the space of
all continuous functions. This allows us the construction of simultaneous confidence regions
for the slope surface and simultaneous prediction bands. As a further consequence, we derive
new tests for the hypothesis that the maximum deviation between the âtrueâ slope surface
and a given surface is less or equal than a given threshold. In other words: we are not trying
to test for exact equality (because in many applications this hypothesis is hard to justify),
but rather for pre-specified deviations under the null hypothesis. To ensure practicability,
non-standard bootstrap procedures are developed addressing particular features that arise
in these testing problems.
As a by-product, we also derive several new results and statistical inference tools for the
function-on-function linear regression model, such as minimax optimal convergence rates and
likelihood-ratio tests. We also demonstrate that the new methods have good finite sample
properties by means of a simulation study and illustrate their practicability by analyzing a
data example

EBVCR: A Energy Balanced Virtual Coordinate Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks
AbstractGeographic routing can provide efficient routing at a fixed overhead. However, the performance of geographic routing is impacted by physical voids, and localization errors. Accordingly, virtual coordinate systems (VCS) were proposed as an alternative approach that is resilient to localization errors and that naturally routes around physical voids. However, since VCS faces virtual anomalies,existing geographic routing canât work to banlance energy efficiently. Moreover, there are no effective complementary routing algorithm that can be used to address energy balance.In this paper we present An Energy Balanced virtual coordinate Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks(EBVCR),which combines both distance- and direction-based strategies in a flexible manner, is Proposed to resolve energy balance of Geographic routing in VCS .Our simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the best existing solution, over a variety of network densities and scenarios
Joint Token Pruning and Squeezing Towards More Aggressive Compression of Vision Transformers
Although vision transformers (ViTs) have shown promising results in various
computer vision tasks recently, their high computational cost limits their
practical applications. Previous approaches that prune redundant tokens have
demonstrated a good trade-off between performance and computation costs.
Nevertheless, errors caused by pruning strategies can lead to significant
information loss. Our quantitative experiments reveal that the impact of pruned
tokens on performance should be noticeable. To address this issue, we propose a
novel joint Token Pruning & Squeezing module (TPS) for compressing vision
transformers with higher efficiency. Firstly, TPS adopts pruning to get the
reserved and pruned subsets. Secondly, TPS squeezes the information of pruned
tokens into partial reserved tokens via the unidirectional nearest-neighbor
matching and similarity-based fusing steps. Compared to state-of-the-art
methods, our approach outperforms them under all token pruning intensities.
Especially while shrinking DeiT-tiny&small computational budgets to 35%, it
improves the accuracy by 1%-6% compared with baselines on ImageNet
classification. The proposed method can accelerate the throughput of DeiT-small
beyond DeiT-tiny, while its accuracy surpasses DeiT-tiny by 4.78%. Experiments
on various transformers demonstrate the effectiveness of our method, while
analysis experiments prove our higher robustness to the errors of the token
pruning policy. Code is available at

Dynamic Token Pruning in Plain Vision Transformers for Semantic Segmentation
Vision transformers have achieved leading performance on various visual tasks
yet still suffer from high computational complexity. The situation deteriorates
in dense prediction tasks like semantic segmentation, as high-resolution inputs
and outputs usually imply more tokens involved in computations. Directly
removing the less attentive tokens has been discussed for the image
classification task but can not be extended to semantic segmentation since a
dense prediction is required for every patch. To this end, this work introduces
a Dynamic Token Pruning (DToP) method based on the early exit of tokens for
semantic segmentation. Motivated by the coarse-to-fine segmentation process by
humans, we naturally split the widely adopted auxiliary-loss-based network
architecture into several stages, where each auxiliary block grades every
token's difficulty level. We can finalize the prediction of easy tokens in
advance without completing the entire forward pass. Moreover, we keep
highest confidence tokens for each semantic category to uphold the
representative context information. Thus, computational complexity will change
with the difficulty of the input, akin to the way humans do segmentation.
Experiments suggest that the proposed DToP architecture reduces on average
of computational cost for current semantic segmentation methods
based on plain vision transformers without accuracy degradation
