The success of deep learning models on multi-hop fact verification has prompted researchers to understand the behavior behind their veracity. One possible way is erasure search: obtaining the rationale by entirely removing a subset of input without compromising the veracity prediction. Although extensively explored, existing approaches fall within the scope of the single-granular (tokens or sentences) explanation, which inevitably leads to explanation redundancy and inconsistency. To address such issues, this paper explores the viability of multi-granular rationale extraction with consistency and faithfulness for explainable multi-hop fact verification. In particular, given a pretrained veracity prediction model, both the token-level explainer and sentence-level explainer are trained simultaneously to obtain multi-granular rationales via differentiable masking. Meanwhile, three diagnostic properties (fidelity, consistency, salience) are introduced and applied to the training process, to ensure that the extracted rationales satisfy faithfulness and consistency. Experimental results on three multi-hop fact verification datasets show that the proposed approach outperforms some state-of-the-art baselines.

The proliferation of connected devices through Internet connectivity presents both opportunities for smart applications and risks to security and privacy. It is vital to proactively address these concerns to fully leverage the potential of the Internet of Things. IoT services where one data owner serves multiple clients, like smart city transportation, smart building management and healthcare can offer benefits but also bring cybersecurity and data privacy risks. For example, in healthcare, a hospital may collect data from medical devices and make it available to multiple clients such as researchers and pharmaceutical companies. This data can be used to improve medical treatments and research but if not protected, it can also put patients' personal information at risk. To ensure the benefits of these services, it is important to implement proper security and privacy measures. In this paper, we propose a symmetric searchable encryption scheme with dynamic updates on a database that has a single owner and multiple clients for IoT environments. Our proposed scheme supports both forward and backward privacy. Additionally, our scheme supports a decentralized storage environment in which data owners can outsource data across multiple servers or even across multiple service providers to improve security and privacy. Further, it takes a minimum amount of effort and costs to revoke a client's access to our system at any time. The performance and formal security analyses of the proposed scheme show that our scheme provides better functionality, and security and is more efficient in terms of computation and storage than the closely related works.

Cooperative adaptive cruise control presents an opportunity to improve road transportation through increase in road capacity and reduction in energy use and accidents. Clever design of control algorithms and communication systems is required to ensure that the vehicle platoon is stable and meets desired safety requirements. In this paper, we propose a centralized model predictive controller for a heterogeneous platoon of vehicles to reach a desired platoon velocity and individual inter-vehicle distances with driver-selected headway time. As a novel concept, we allow for interruption from a human driver in the platoon that temporarily takes control of their vehicle with the assumption that the driver will, at minimum, obey legal velocity limits and the physical performance constraints of their vehicle. The finite horizon cost function of our proposed platoon controller is inspired from the infinite horizon design. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first platoon controller that integrates human-driven vehicles. We illustrate the performance of our proposed design with a numerical study, demonstrating that the safety distance, velocity, and actuation constraints are obeyed. Additionally, in simulation we illustrate a key property of string stability where the impact of a disturbance is reduced through the platoon.

The advancement of Virtual Reality (VR) technology is focused on improving its immersiveness, supporting multiuser Virtual Experiences (VEs), and enabling the users to move freely within their VEs while still being confined within specialized VR setups through Redirected Walking (RDW). To meet their extreme data-rate and latency requirements, future VR systems will require supporting wireless networking infrastructures operating in millimeter Wave (mmWave) frequencies that leverage highly directional communication in both transmission and reception through beamforming and beamsteering. We propose the use of predictive context-awareness to optimize transmitter and receiver-side beamforming and beamsteering. By predicting users' short-term lateral movements in multiuser VR setups with Redirected Walking (RDW), transmitter-side beamforming and beamsteering can be optimized through Line-of-Sight (LoS) "tracking" in the users' directions. At the same time, predictions of short-term orientational movements can be utilized for receiver-side beamforming for coverage flexibility enhancements. We target two open problems in predicting these two context information instances: i) predicting lateral movements in multiuser VR settings with RDW, and ii) generating synthetic head rotation datasets for training orientational movements predictors. Our experimental results demonstrate that Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks feature promising accuracy in predicting lateral movements, and context-awareness stemming from VEs further enhances this accuracy. Additionally, we show that a TimeGAN-based approach for orientational data generation can create synthetic samples that closely match experimentally obtained ones.

Adversarial attacks pose a significant threat to the security and safety of deep neural networks being applied to modern applications. More specifically, in computer vision-based tasks, experts can use the knowledge of model architecture to create adversarial samples imperceptible to the human eye. These attacks can lead to security problems in popular applications such as self-driving cars, face recognition, etc. Hence, building networks which are robust to such attacks is highly desirable and essential. Among the various methods present in literature, defensive distillation has shown promise in recent years. Using knowledge distillation, researchers have been able to create models robust against some of those attacks. However, more attacks have been developed exposing weakness in defensive distillation. In this project, we derive inspiration from teacher assistant knowledge distillation and propose that introducing an assistant network can improve the robustness of the distilled model. Through a series of experiments, we evaluate the distilled models for different distillation temperatures in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, and robustness. Our experiments demonstrate that the proposed hypothesis can improve robustness in most cases. Additionally, we show that multi-step distillation can further improve robustness with very little impact on model accuracy.

The mobile cloud gaming industry has been rapidly growing over the last decade. When streaming gaming videos are transmitted to customers' client devices from cloud servers, algorithms that can monitor distorted video quality without having any reference video available are desirable tools. However, creating No-Reference Video Quality Assessment (NR VQA) models that can accurately predict the quality of streaming gaming videos rendered by computer graphics engines is a challenging problem, since gaming content generally differs statistically from naturalistic videos, often lacks detail, and contains many smooth regions. Until recently, the problem has been further complicated by the lack of adequate subjective quality databases of mobile gaming content. We have created a new gaming-specific NR VQA model called the Gaming Video Quality Evaluator (GAMIVAL), which combines and leverages the advantages of spatial and temporal gaming distorted scene statistics models, a neural noise model, and deep semantic features. Using a support vector regression (SVR) as a regressor, GAMIVAL achieves superior performance on the new LIVE-Meta Mobile Cloud Gaming (LIVE-Meta MCG) video quality database.

Along with the massive growth of the Internet from the 1990s until now, various innovative technologies have been created to bring users breathtaking experiences with more virtual interactions in cyberspace. Many virtual environments with thousands of services and applications, from social networks to virtual gaming worlds, have been developed with immersive experience and digital transformation, but most are incoherent instead of being integrated into a platform. In this context, metaverse, a term formed by combining meta and universe, has been introduced as a shared virtual world that is fueled by many emerging technologies, such as fifth-generation networks and beyond, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence (AI). Among such technologies, AI has shown the great importance of processing big data to enhance immersive experience and enable human-like intelligence of virtual agents. In this survey, we make a beneficial effort to explore the role of AI in the foundation and development of the metaverse. We first deliver a preliminary of AI, including machine learning algorithms and deep learning architectures, and its role in the metaverse. We then convey a comprehensive investigation of AI-based methods concerning six technical aspects that have potentials for the metaverse: natural language processing, machine vision, blockchain, networking, digital twin, and neural interface, and being potential for the metaverse. Subsequently, several AI-aided applications, such as healthcare, manufacturing, smart cities, and gaming, are studied to be deployed in the virtual worlds. Finally, we conclude the key contribution of this survey and open some future research directions in AI for the metaverse.

Autonomous driving has achieved a significant milestone in research and development over the last decade. There is increasing interest in the field as the deployment of self-operating vehicles on roads promises safer and more ecologically friendly transportation systems. With the rise of computationally powerful artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, autonomous vehicles can sense their environment with high precision, make safe real-time decisions, and operate more reliably without human interventions. However, intelligent decision-making in autonomous cars is not generally understandable by humans in the current state of the art, and such deficiency hinders this technology from being socially acceptable. Hence, aside from making safe real-time decisions, the AI systems of autonomous vehicles also need to explain how these decisions are constructed in order to be regulatory compliant across many jurisdictions. Our study sheds a comprehensive light on developing explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) approaches for autonomous vehicles. In particular, we make the following contributions. First, we provide a thorough overview of the present gaps with respect to explanations in the state-of-the-art autonomous vehicle industry. We then show the taxonomy of explanations and explanation receivers in this field. Thirdly, we propose a framework for an architecture of end-to-end autonomous driving systems and justify the role of XAI in both debugging and regulating such systems. Finally, as future research directions, we provide a field guide on XAI approaches for autonomous driving that can improve operational safety and transparency towards achieving public approval by regulators, manufacturers, and all engaged stakeholders.
