As broadband Internet speeds continue to increase, the home wireless ("WiFi") network may more frequently become a performance bottleneck. Past research, now nearly a decade old, initially documented this phenomenon through indirect inference techniques, noting the prevalence of WiFi bottlenecks but never directly measuring them. In the intervening years, access network (and WiFi) speeds have increased, warranting a re-appraisal of this important question, particularly with renewed private and federal investment in access network infrastructure. This paper studies this question, developing a new system and measurement technique to perform direct measurements of WiFi and access network performance, ultimately collecting and analyzing a first-of-its-kind dataset of more than 13,000 joint measurements of WiFi and access network throughputs, in a real-world deployment spanning more than 50 homes, for nearly two years. Using this dataset, we re-examine the question of whether, when, and to what extent a user's home wireless network may be a performance bottleneck, particularly relative to their access connection. We do so by directly and continuously measuring the user's Internet performance along two separate components of the Internet path -- from a wireless client inside the home network to the wired point of access (e.g., the cable modem), and from the wired point of access to the user's ISP. Confirming and revising results from more than a decade ago, we find that a user's home wireless network is often the throughput bottleneck. In particular, for users with access links that exceed 800~Mbps, the user's home wireless network was the performance bottleneck 100% of the time.

Virtual networks are an innovative abstraction that extends cloud computing concepts to the network: by supporting bandwidth reservations between compute nodes (e.g., virtual machines), virtual networks can provide a predictable performance to distributed and communication-intensive cloud applications. However, in order to make the most efficient use of the shared resources, the Virtual Network Embedding (VNE) problem has to be solved: a virtual network should be mapped onto the given physical network so that resource reservations are minimized. The problem has been studied intensively already and is known to be NP-hard in general. In this paper, we revisit this problem and consider it on specific topologies, as they often arise in practice. To be more precise, we study the weighted version of the VNE problem: we consider a virtual weighted network of a specific topology which we want to embed onto a weighted network with capacities and specific topology. As for topologies, we consider most fundamental and commonly used ones: line, star, $2$-tiered star, oversubscribed $2$-tiered star, and tree, in addition to also considering arbitrary topologies. We show that typically the VNE problem is NP-hard even in more specialized cases, however, sometimes there exists a polynomial algorithm: for example, an embedding of the oversubscribed $2$-tiered star onto the tree is polynomial while an embedding of an arbitrary $2$-tiered star is not.

Current approaches for collision avoidance and space traffic management face many challenges, mainly due to the continuous increase in the number of objects in orbit and the lack of scalable and automated solutions. To avoid catastrophic incidents, satellite owners/operators must be aware of their assets' collision risk to decide whether a collision avoidance manoeuvre needs to be performed. This process is typically executed through the use of warnings issued in the form of CDMs which contain information about the event, such as the expected TCA and the probability of collision. Our previous work presented a statistical learning model that allowed us to answer two important questions: (1) Will any new conjunctions be issued in the next specified time interval? (2) When and with what uncertainty will the next CDM arrive? However, the model was based on an empirical Bayes homogeneous Poisson process, which assumes that the arrival rates of CDMs are constant over time. In fact, the rate at which the CDMs are issued depends on the behaviour of the objects as well as on the screening process performed by third parties. Thus, in this work, we extend the previous study and propose a Bayesian non-homogeneous Poisson process implemented with high precision using a Probabilistic Programming Language to fully describe the underlying phenomena. We compare the proposed solution with a baseline model to demonstrate the added value of our approach. The results show that this problem can be successfully modelled by our Bayesian non-homogeneous Poisson Process with greater accuracy, contributing to the development of automated collision avoidance systems and helping operators react timely but sparingly with satellite manoeuvres.

In an ideal setting for Bayesian agents, a perfect description of the rules of the environment (i.e., the objective observation model) is available, allowing them to reason through the Bayesian posterior to update their beliefs in an optimal way. But such an ideal setting hardly ever exists in the natural world, so agents have to make do with reasoning about how they should update their beliefs simultaneously. This introduces a number of related challenges for a number of research areas: (1) For Bayesian statistics, this deviation of the subjective model from the true data-generating mechanism is termed model misspecification in the literature. (2) For neuroscience, it introduces the necessity to model how the agents' belief updates (how they use evidence to update their belief) and how their belief changes over time. The current paper addresses these two challenges by (a) providing a general class of posteriors/belief updates called cut-posteriors of Bayesian networks that have a much greater expressivity, and (b) parameterizing the space of possible posteriors to make meta-learning (i.e., choosing the belief update from this space in a principled manner) possible. For (a), it is noteworthy that any cut-posterior has local computation only, making computation tractable for human or artificial agents. For (b), a Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm to perform such meta-learning will be sketched here, though it is only an illustration and but no means the only possible meta-learning procedure possible for the space of cut-posteriors. Operationally, this work gives a general algorithm to take in an arbitrary Bayesian network and output all possible cut-posteriors in the space.

Resource reservation is a fundamental mechanism for ensuring quality of service in time-sensitive networks, which can be decentralized by using reservation protocols. In the Ethernet technology Time-Sensitive Networking, this has been proposed in conjunction with the Credit-Based Shaper. For the reservation, the standards assume a maximum worst-case latency bound at each hop. However, we will show through formal analysis and simulation that these worst-case latency bounds are not safe. To face this, we propose an extension to the current standards to allow the reservation of time-sensitive traffic with reliable latency guarantees. The effectiveness of our approach is demonstrated through simulations of both synthetic and industrial networks. Finally, by providing additional information about neighboring devices, we could further increase the maximum reservable traffic by up to 20% in our test cases.

This paper implements and analyzes multiple networks with the goal of understanding their suitability for edge device applications such as X-ray threat detection. In this study, we use the state-of-the-art YOLO object detection model to solve this task of detecting threats in security baggage screening images. We designed and studied three models - Tiny YOLO, QCFS Tiny YOLO, and SNN Tiny YOLO. We utilize an alternative activation function calculated to have zero expected conversion error with the activation of a spiking activation function in our Tiny YOLOv7 model. This \textit{QCFS} version of the Tiny YOLO replicates the activation function from ultra-low latency and high-efficiency SNN architecture. It achieves state-of-the-art performance on CLCXray, an open-source X-ray threat Detection dataset. In addition, we also study the behavior of a Spiking Tiny YOLO on the same X-ray threat Detection dataset.

Believable proxies of human behavior can empower interactive applications ranging from immersive environments to rehearsal spaces for interpersonal communication to prototyping tools. In this paper, we introduce generative agents--computational software agents that simulate believable human behavior. Generative agents wake up, cook breakfast, and head to work; artists paint, while authors write; they form opinions, notice each other, and initiate conversations; they remember and reflect on days past as they plan the next day. To enable generative agents, we describe an architecture that extends a large language model to store a complete record of the agent's experiences using natural language, synthesize those memories over time into higher-level reflections, and retrieve them dynamically to plan behavior. We instantiate generative agents to populate an interactive sandbox environment inspired by The Sims, where end users can interact with a small town of twenty five agents using natural language. In an evaluation, these generative agents produce believable individual and emergent social behaviors: for example, starting with only a single user-specified notion that one agent wants to throw a Valentine's Day party, the agents autonomously spread invitations to the party over the next two days, make new acquaintances, ask each other out on dates to the party, and coordinate to show up for the party together at the right time. We demonstrate through ablation that the components of our agent architecture--observation, planning, and reflection--each contribute critically to the believability of agent behavior. By fusing large language models with computational, interactive agents, this work introduces architectural and interaction patterns for enabling believable simulations of human behavior.

Recent advances in sensor and mobile devices have enabled an unprecedented increase in the availability and collection of urban trajectory data, thus increasing the demand for more efficient ways to manage and analyze the data being produced. In this survey, we comprehensively review recent research trends in trajectory data management, ranging from trajectory pre-processing, storage, common trajectory analytic tools, such as querying spatial-only and spatial-textual trajectory data, and trajectory clustering. We also explore four closely related analytical tasks commonly used with trajectory data in interactive or real-time processing. Deep trajectory learning is also reviewed for the first time. Finally, we outline the essential qualities that a trajectory management system should possess in order to maximize flexibility.

Knowledge graphs capture interlinked information between entities and they represent an attractive source of structured information that can be harnessed for recommender systems. However, existing recommender engines use knowledge graphs by manually designing features, do not allow for end-to-end training, or provide poor scalability. Here we propose Knowledge Graph Convolutional Networks (KGCN), an end-to-end trainable framework that harnesses item relationships captured by the knowledge graph to provide better recommendations. Conceptually, KGCN computes user-specific item embeddings by first applying a trainable function that identifies important knowledge graph relations for a given user and then transforming the knowledge graph into a user-specific weighted graph. Then, KGCN applies a graph convolutional neural network that computes an embedding of an item node by propagating and aggregating knowledge graph neighborhood information. Moreover, to provide better inductive bias KGCN uses label smoothness (LS), which provides regularization over edge weights and we prove that it is equivalent to label propagation scheme on a graph. Finally, We unify KGCN and LS regularization, and present a scalable minibatch implementation for KGCN-LS model. Experiments show that KGCN-LS outperforms strong baselines in four datasets. KGCN-LS also achieves great performance in sparse scenarios and is highly scalable with respect to the knowledge graph size.

Detecting carried objects is one of the requirements for developing systems to reason about activities involving people and objects. We present an approach to detect carried objects from a single video frame with a novel method that incorporates features from multiple scales. Initially, a foreground mask in a video frame is segmented into multi-scale superpixels. Then the human-like regions in the segmented area are identified by matching a set of extracted features from superpixels against learned features in a codebook. A carried object probability map is generated using the complement of the matching probabilities of superpixels to human-like regions and background information. A group of superpixels with high carried object probability and strong edge support is then merged to obtain the shape of the carried object. We applied our method to two challenging datasets, and results show that our method is competitive with or better than the state-of-the-art.
