A Boolean network is a mapping $f :\{0,1\}^n \to \{0,1\}^n$, which can be used to model networks of $n$ interacting entities, each having a local Boolean state that evolves over time according to a deterministic function of the current…
In this work, we propose Attentive Pooling (AP), a two-way attention mechanism for discriminative model training. In the context of pair-wise ranking or classification with neural networks, AP enables the pooling layer to be aware of the…

Inspired by research in psychology, we introduce a behavioral approach for visual navigation using topological maps. Our goal is to enable a robot to navigate from one location to another, relying only on its visual input and the…
We study active structure learning of Bayesian networks in an observational setting, in which there are external limitations on the number of variable values that can be observed from the same sample. Random samples are drawn from the joint…
Attractor dynamics are a hallmark of many complex systems, including the brain. Understanding how such self-organizing dynamics emerge from first principles is crucial for advancing our understanding of neuronal computations and the design…
Deciding what and when to observe is critical when making observations is costly. In a medical setting where observations can be made sequentially, making these observations (or not) should be an active choice. We refer to this as the…
This paper studies asynchronous message passing (AMP), a new paradigm for applying neural network based learning to graphs. Existing graph neural networks use the synchronous distributed computing model and aggregate their neighbors in each…
We study the class of cooperative Boolean networks whose only regulatory functions are COPY, binary AND, and binary OR. We prove that for all sufficiently large N and c < 2 there exist Boolean networks in this class that have an attractor…
Characterizing user to access point (AP) association strategies in heterogeneous cellular networks (HetNets) is critical for their performance analysis, as it directly influences the load across the network. In this letter, we introduce and…
We propose a general strategy for feedback control design of complex dynamical systems exploiting the nonlinear mechanisms in a systematic unsupervised manner. These dynamical systems can have a state space of arbitrary dimension with…
This paper focuses on the convergence of infor- mation in distributed systems of agents communicating over a network. The information on which the convergence is sought is not represented by real numbers, rather by sets of real numbers,…
This article addresses the problem of reconstructing the topology of a network of agents interacting via linear dynamics, while being excited by exogenous stochastic sources that are possibly correlated across the agents, from time-series…

The relationship between the properties of a dynamical system and the structure of its defining equations has long been studied in many contexts. Here we study this problem for the class of conjunctive (resp. disjunctive) Boolean networks,…
