• Abstract summary: We study general and variational autoencoders for the machine learning component of cAnEnOI. We propose using patching schemes to divide the global spatial domain into digestible chunks. Testing this new algorithm on a 1D toy model, we find that larger patch sizes make it harder to train an accurate generative model.

• Abstract: Using generative models from the machine learning literature to create artificial ensemble members for use within data assimilation schemes has been introduced in [Grooms QJRMS, 2020] as constructed analog ensemble optimal interpolation (cAnEnOI). Specifically, we study general and variational autoencoders for the machine learning component of this method, and combine the ideas of constructed analogs and ensemble optimal interpolation in the data assimilation piece. To extend the scalability of cAnEnOI for use in data assimilation on complex dynamical models, we propose using patching schemes to divide the global spatial domain into digestible chunks. Using patches makes training the generative models possible and has the added benefit of being able to exploit parallelism during the generative step. Testing this new algorithm on a 1D toy model, we find that larger patch sizes make it harder to train an accurate generative model (i.e. a model whose reconstruction error is small), while conversely the data assimilation performance improves at larger patch sizes. There is thus a sweet spot where the patch size is large enough to enable good data assimilation performance, but not so large that it becomes difficult to train an accurate generative model. In our tests the new patched cAnEnOI method outperforms the original (unpatched) cAnEnOI, as well as the ensemble square root filter results from [Grooms QJRMS, 2020].

  *Data Synthesis* is a promising way to train a small model with very little labeled data. We propose *Synthesis Step by Step* (**S3**), a data synthesis framework that shrinks this distribution gap. Our approach improves the performance of a small model by reducing the gap between the synthetic dataset and the real data.

  ML applications increasingly rely on complex deep learning models and large datasets. To scale computation and data, these models are inevitably trained in a distributed manner in clusters of nodes, and their updates are aggregated before being applied to the model. With data augmentation added to these settings, there is a critical need for robust and efficient aggregation systems. We show that our approach significantly enhances the robustness of state-of-the-art Byzantine resilient aggregators.

  We show how a new model, similar to a logistic regression, may be learned from aggregated data only by approximating the unobserved feature distribution with a maximum entropy hypothesis. We present empirical evidence on several public datasets that the model learned this way can achieve performances comparable to those of a logistic model trained with the full unaggregated data.
