The monitoring of data generated by a large number of devices in Internet of Things (IoT) systems is an important and complex issue. Several studies have explored the use of generic rule engine, primarily based on the RETE algorithm, for monitoring the flow of device data. In order to solve the performance problem of the RETE algorithm in IoT scenarios, some studies have also proposed improved RETE algorithms. However, implementing modifications to the general rule engine remains challenges in practical applications. The Thingsboard open-source platform introduces an IoT-specific rule engine that does not rely on the RETE algorithm. Its interactive mode attracted attention from developers and researchers. However, the close integration between its rule module and the platform, as well as the difficulty in formulating rules for multiple devices, limits its flexibility. This paper presents an adaptable and user-friendly rule engine framework for monitoring and control IoT device data flows. The framework is easily extensible and allows for the formulation of rules contain multiple devices. We designed a Domain-Specific Language (DSL) for rule description. A prototype system of this framework was implemented to verify the validity of theoretical method. The framework has potential to be adaptable to a wide range of IoT scenarios and is especially effective in where real-time control demands are not as strict.

Fog computing emerged as a promising paradigm to address the challenges of processing and managing data generated by the Internet of Things (IoT). Load balancing (LB) plays a crucial role in Fog computing environments to optimize the overall system performance. It requires efficient resource allocation to improve resource utilization, minimize latency, and enhance the quality of service for end-users. In this work, we improve the performance of privacy-aware Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents that optimize the execution delay of IoT applications by minimizing the waiting delay. To maintain privacy, these agents optimize the waiting delay by minimizing the change in the number of queued requests in the whole system, i.e., without explicitly observing the actual number of requests that are queued in each Fog node nor observing the compute resource capabilities of those nodes. Besides improving the performance of these agents, we propose in this paper a lifelong learning framework for these agents, where lightweight inference models are used during deployment to minimize action delay and only retrained in case of significant environmental changes. To improve the performance, minimize the training cost, and adapt the agents to those changes, we explore the application of Transfer Learning (TL). TL transfers the knowledge acquired from a source domain and applies it to a target domain, enabling the reuse of learned policies and experiences. TL can be also used to pre-train the agent in simulation before fine-tuning it in the real environment; this significantly reduces failure probability compared to learning from scratch in the real environment. To our knowledge, there are no existing efforts in the literature that use TL to address lifelong learning for RL-based Fog LB; this is one of the main obstacles in deploying RL LB solutions in Fog systems.

Visual localization is a critical task in mobile robotics, and researchers are continuously developing new approaches to enhance its efficiency. In this article, we propose a novel approach to improve the accuracy of visual localization using Structure from Motion (SfM) techniques. We highlight the limitations of global SfM, which suffers from high latency, and the challenges of local SfM, which requires large image databases for accurate reconstruction. To address these issues, we propose utilizing Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF), as opposed to image databases, to cut down on the space required for storage. We suggest that sampling reference images around the prior query position can lead to further improvements. We evaluate the accuracy of our proposed method against ground truth obtained using LIDAR and Advanced Lidar Odometry and Mapping in Real-time (A-LOAM), and compare its storage usage against local SfM with COLMAP in the conducted experiments. Our proposed method achieves an accuracy of 0.068 meters compared to the ground truth, which is slightly lower than the most advanced method COLMAP, which has an accuracy of 0.022 meters. However, the size of the database required for COLMAP is 400 megabytes, whereas the size of our NeRF model is only 160 megabytes. Finally, we perform an ablation study to assess the impact of using reference images from the NeRF reconstruction.

We introduce a logistic regression model for data pairs consisting of a binary response and a covariate residing in a non-Euclidean metric space without vector structures. Based on the proposed model we also develop a binary classifier for non-Euclidean objects. We propose a maximum likelihood estimator for the non-Euclidean regression coefficient in the model, and provide upper bounds on the estimation error under various metric entropy conditions that quantify complexity of the underlying metric space. Matching lower bounds are derived for the important metric spaces commonly seen in statistics, establishing optimality of the proposed estimator in such spaces. Similarly, an upper bound on the excess risk of the developed classifier is provided for general metric spaces. A finer upper bound and a matching lower bound, and thus optimality of the proposed classifier, are established for Riemannian manifolds. We investigate the numerical performance of the proposed estimator and classifier via simulation studies, and illustrate their practical merits via an application to task-related fMRI data.

The attention mechanism requires huge computational efforts to process unnecessary calculations, significantly limiting the system's performance. Researchers propose sparse attention to convert some DDMM operations to SDDMM and SpMM operations. However, current sparse attention solutions introduce massive off-chip random memory access. We propose CPSAA, a novel crossbar-based PIM-featured sparse attention accelerator. First, we present a novel attention calculation mode. Second, we design a novel PIM-based sparsity pruning architecture. Finally, we present novel crossbar-based methods. Experimental results show that CPSAA has an average of 89.6X, 32.2X, 17.8X, 3.39X, and 3.84X performance improvement and 755.6X, 55.3X, 21.3X, 5.7X, and 4.9X energy-saving when compare with GPU, FPGA, SANGER, ReBERT, and ReTransformer.

Anomaly detection has recently gained increasing attention in the field of computer vision, likely due to its broad set of applications ranging from product fault detection on industrial production lines and impending event detection in video surveillance to finding lesions in medical scans. Regardless of the domain, anomaly detection is typically framed as a one-class classification task, where the learning is conducted on normal examples only. An entire family of successful anomaly detection methods is based on learning to reconstruct masked normal inputs (e.g. patches, future frames, etc.) and exerting the magnitude of the reconstruction error as an indicator for the abnormality level. Unlike other reconstruction-based methods, we present a novel self-supervised masked convolutional transformer block (SSMCTB) that comprises the reconstruction-based functionality at a core architectural level. The proposed self-supervised block is extremely flexible, enabling information masking at any layer of a neural network and being compatible with a wide range of neural architectures. In this work, we extend our previous self-supervised predictive convolutional attentive block (SSPCAB) with a 3D masked convolutional layer, a transformer for channel-wise attention, as well as a novel self-supervised objective based on Huber loss. Furthermore, we show that our block is applicable to a wider variety of tasks, adding anomaly detection in medical images and thermal videos to the previously considered tasks based on RGB images and surveillance videos. We exhibit the generality and flexibility of SSMCTB by integrating it into multiple state-of-the-art neural models for anomaly detection, bringing forth empirical results that confirm considerable performance improvements on five benchmarks. We release our code and data as open source at: //github.com/ristea/ssmctb.

The term emotion analysis in text subsumes various natural language processing tasks which have in common the goal to enable computers to understand emotions. Most popular is emotion classification in which one or multiple emotions are assigned to a predefined textual unit. While such setting is appropriate to identify the reader's or author's emotion, emotion role labeling adds the perspective of mentioned entities and extracts text spans that correspond to the emotion cause. The underlying emotion theories agree on one important point; that an emotion is caused by some internal or external event and comprises several subcomponents, including the subjective feeling and a cognitive evaluation. We therefore argue that emotions and events are related in two ways. (1) Emotions are events; and this perspective is the fundament in NLP for emotion role labeling. (2) Emotions are caused by events; a perspective that is made explicit with research how to incorporate psychological appraisal theories in NLP models to interpret events. These two research directions, role labeling and (event-focused) emotion classification, have by and large been tackled separately. We contributed to both directions with the projects SEAT (Structured Multi-Domain Emotion Analysis from Text) and CEAT (Computational Event Evaluation based on Appraisal Theories for Emotion Analysis), both funded by the German Research Foundation. In this paper, we consolidate the findings and discuss open research directions.

State-of-the-art (SOTA) object detection methods have succeeded in several applications at the price of relying on heavyweight neural networks, which makes them inefficient and inviable for many applications with computational resource constraints. This work presents a method to build a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) layer by layer for object detection from user-drawn markers on discriminative regions of representative images. We address the detection of Schistosomiasis mansoni eggs in microscopy images of fecal samples, and the detection of ships in satellite images as application examples. We could create a flyweight CNN without backpropagation from very few input images. Our method explores a recent methodology, Feature Learning from Image Markers (FLIM), to build convolutional feature extractors (encoders) from marker pixels. We extend FLIM to include a single-layer adaptive decoder, whose weights vary with the input image -- a concept never explored in CNNs. Our CNN weighs thousands of times less than SOTA object detectors, being suitable for CPU execution and showing superior or equivalent performance to three methods in five measures.

The existence of representative datasets is a prerequisite of many successful artificial intelligence and machine learning models. However, the subsequent application of these models often involves scenarios that are inadequately represented in the data used for training. The reasons for this are manifold and range from time and cost constraints to ethical considerations. As a consequence, the reliable use of these models, especially in safety-critical applications, is a huge challenge. Leveraging additional, already existing sources of knowledge is key to overcome the limitations of purely data-driven approaches, and eventually to increase the generalization capability of these models. Furthermore, predictions that conform with knowledge are crucial for making trustworthy and safe decisions even in underrepresented scenarios. This work provides an overview of existing techniques and methods in the literature that combine data-based models with existing knowledge. The identified approaches are structured according to the categories integration, extraction and conformity. Special attention is given to applications in the field of autonomous driving.

The recent proliferation of knowledge graphs (KGs) coupled with incomplete or partial information, in the form of missing relations (links) between entities, has fueled a lot of research on knowledge base completion (also known as relation prediction). Several recent works suggest that convolutional neural network (CNN) based models generate richer and more expressive feature embeddings and hence also perform well on relation prediction. However, we observe that these KG embeddings treat triples independently and thus fail to cover the complex and hidden information that is inherently implicit in the local neighborhood surrounding a triple. To this effect, our paper proposes a novel attention based feature embedding that captures both entity and relation features in any given entity's neighborhood. Additionally, we also encapsulate relation clusters and multihop relations in our model. Our empirical study offers insights into the efficacy of our attention based model and we show marked performance gains in comparison to state of the art methods on all datasets.
