Anomaly detection requires detecting abnormal samples in large unlabeled datasets. While progress in deep learning and the advent of foundation models has produced powerful unsupervised anomaly detection methods, their deployment in practice is often hindered by the lack of labeled data -- without it, the detection accuracy of an anomaly detector cannot be evaluated reliably. In this work, we propose a general-purpose framework for evaluating image-based anomaly detectors with synthetically generated validation data. Our method assumes access to a small support set of normal images which are processed with a pre-trained diffusion model (our proposed method requires no training or fine-tuning) to produce synthetic anomalies. When mixed with normal samples from the support set, the synthetic anomalies create detection tasks that compose a validation framework for anomaly detection evaluation and model selection. In an extensive empirical study, ranging from natural images to industrial applications, we find that our synthetic validation framework selects the same models and hyper-parameters as selection with a ground-truth validation set. In addition, we find that prompts selected by our method for CLIP-based anomaly detection outperforms all other prompt selection strategies, and leads to the overall best detection accuracy, even on the challenging MVTec-AD dataset.

Misconfigurations are the major causes of software failures. Existing configuration validation techniques rely on manually written rules or test cases, which are expensive to implement and maintain, and are hard to be comprehensive. Leveraging machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP) for configuration validation is considered a promising direction, but has been facing challenges such as the need of not only large-scale configuration data, but also system-specific features and models which are hard to generalize. Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) show the promises to address some of the long-lasting limitations of ML/NLP-based configuration validation techniques. In this paper, we present an exploratory analysis on the feasibility and effectiveness of using LLMs like GPT and Codex for configuration validation. Specifically, we take a first step to empirically evaluate LLMs as configuration validators without additional fine-tuning or code generation. We develop a generic LLM-based validation framework, named Ciri, which integrates different LLMs. Ciri devises effective prompt engineering with few-shot learning based on both valid configuration and misconfiguration data. Ciri also validates and aggregates the outputs of LLMs to generate validation results, coping with known hallucination and nondeterminism of LLMs. We evaluate the validation effectiveness of Ciri on five popular LLMs using configuration data of six mature, widely deployed open-source systems. Our analysis (1) confirms the potential of using LLMs for configuration validation, (2) understands the design space of LLMbased validators like Ciri, especially in terms of prompt engineering with few-shot learning, and (3) reveals open challenges such as ineffectiveness in detecting certain types of misconfigurations and biases to popular configuration parameters.

In the context of computer models, calibration is the process of estimating unknown simulator parameters from observational data. Calibration is variously referred to as model fitting, parameter estimation/inference, an inverse problem, and model tuning. The need for calibration occurs in most areas of science and engineering, and has been used to estimate hard to measure parameters in climate, cardiology, drug therapy response, hydrology, and many other disciplines. Although the statistical method used for calibration can vary substantially, the underlying approach is essentially the same and can be considered abstractly. In this survey, we review the decisions that need to be taken when calibrating a model, and discuss a range of computational methods that can be used to compute Bayesian posterior distributions.

The Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) is a decentralized paradigm enabling full control over the data used to build and prove the identity. In Internet of Things networks with security requirements, the Self-Sovereign Identity can play a key role and bring benefits with respect to centralized identity solutions. The challenge is to make the SSI compatible with resource-constraint IoT networks. In line with this objective, the paper proposes and discusses an alternative (mutual) authentication process for IoT nodes under the same administration domain. The main idea is to combine the Decentralized IDentifier (DID)-based verification of private key ownership with the verification of a proof that the DID belongs to an evolving trusted set. The solution is built around the proof of membership notion. The paper analyzes two membership solutions, a novel solution designed by the Authors based on Merkle trees and a second one based on the adaptation of Boneh, Boyen and Shacham (BBS) group signature scheme. The paper concludes with a performance estimation and a comparative analysis.

We introduce a novel modeling approach for time series imputation and forecasting, tailored to address the challenges often encountered in real-world data, such as irregular samples, missing data, or unaligned measurements from multiple sensors. Our method relies on a continuous-time-dependent model of the series' evolution dynamics. It leverages adaptations of conditional, implicit neural representations for sequential data. A modulation mechanism, driven by a meta-learning algorithm, allows adaptation to unseen samples and extrapolation beyond observed time-windows for long-term predictions. The model provides a highly flexible and unified framework for imputation and forecasting tasks across a wide range of challenging scenarios. It achieves state-of-the-art performance on classical benchmarks and outperforms alternative time-continuous models.

Case-based reasoning (CBR) as a methodology for problem-solving can use any appropriate computational technique. This position paper argues that CBR researchers have somewhat overlooked recent developments in deep learning and large language models (LLMs). The underlying technical developments that have enabled the recent breakthroughs in AI have strong synergies with CBR and could be used to provide a persistent memory for LLMs to make progress towards Artificial General Intelligence.

The escalating complexity of software systems and accelerating development cycles pose a significant challenge in managing code errors and implementing business logic. Traditional techniques, while cornerstone for software quality assurance, exhibit limitations in handling intricate business logic and extensive codebases. To address these challenges, we introduce the Intelligent Code Analysis Agent (ICAA), a novel concept combining AI models, engineering process designs, and traditional non-AI components. The ICAA employs the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-3 or GPT-4 to automatically detect and diagnose code errors and business logic inconsistencies. In our exploration of this concept, we observed a substantial improvement in bug detection accuracy, reducing the false-positive rate to 66\% from the baseline's 85\%, and a promising recall rate of 60.8\%. However, the token consumption cost associated with LLMs, particularly the average cost for analyzing each line of code, remains a significant consideration for widespread adoption. Despite this challenge, our findings suggest that the ICAA holds considerable potential to revolutionize software quality assurance, significantly enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of bug detection in the software development process. We hope this pioneering work will inspire further research and innovation in this field, focusing on refining the ICAA concept and exploring ways to mitigate the associated costs.

The Rust programming language is becoming increasingly popular among systems programmers due to its efficient performance and robust memory safety guarantees. Rust employs an ownership model to ensure this guarantee by allowing each value to be owned by only one identifier at a time. Additionally, it introduces the concept of borrowing and lifetimes to enable other variables to borrow the values under certain conditions temporarily. Despite its benefits, security vulnerabilities have been reported in Rust projects, often attributed to the use of "unsafe" Rust code. These vulnerabilities, in part, arise from incorrect lifetime annotations on function signatures. However, existing tools fail to detect these bugs, primarily because such bugs are rare, challenging to detect through dynamic analysis, and require explicit memory models. To overcome these limitations, first, we characterize incorrect lifetime annotations as a source of memory safety bugs and leverage this understanding to devise a novel static analysis tool, Yuga, to detect potential lifetime annotation bugs. Yuga uses a multi-phase analysis approach, starting with a quick pattern-matching algorithm to identify potential buggy components and then conducting a flow and field-sensitive alias analysis to confirm the bugs. We also curate new datasets of lifetime annotation bugs. Yuga successfully detects bugs with good precision on these datasets, and we make the code and datasets publicly available for review.

In manufacturing sectors such as textiles and electronics, manual processes are a fundamental part of production. The analysis and monitoring of the processes is necessary for efficient production design. Traditional methods for analyzing manual processes are complex, expensive, and inflexible. Compared to established approaches such as Methods-Time-Measurement (MTM), machine learning (ML) methods promise: Higher flexibility, self-sufficient & permanent use, lower costs. In this work, based on a video stream, the current motion class in a manual assembly process is detected. With information on the current motion, Key-Performance-Indicators (KPIs) can be derived easily. A skeleton-based action recognition approach is taken, as this field recently shows major success in machine vision tasks. For skeleton-based action recognition in manual assembly, no sufficient pre-work could be found. Therefore, a ML pipeline is developed, to enable extensive research on different (pre-) processing methods and neural nets. Suitable well generalizing approaches are found, proving the potential of ML to enhance analyzation of manual processes. Models detect the current motion, performed by an operator in manual assembly, but the results can be transferred to all kinds of manual processes.

While it is nearly effortless for humans to quickly assess the perceptual similarity between two images, the underlying processes are thought to be quite complex. Despite this, the most widely used perceptual metrics today, such as PSNR and SSIM, are simple, shallow functions, and fail to account for many nuances of human perception. Recently, the deep learning community has found that features of the VGG network trained on the ImageNet classification task has been remarkably useful as a training loss for image synthesis. But how perceptual are these so-called "perceptual losses"? What elements are critical for their success? To answer these questions, we introduce a new Full Reference Image Quality Assessment (FR-IQA) dataset of perceptual human judgments, orders of magnitude larger than previous datasets. We systematically evaluate deep features across different architectures and tasks and compare them with classic metrics. We find that deep features outperform all previous metrics by huge margins. More surprisingly, this result is not restricted to ImageNet-trained VGG features, but holds across different deep architectures and levels of supervision (supervised, self-supervised, or even unsupervised). Our results suggest that perceptual similarity is an emergent property shared across deep visual representations.
