Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has become a promising technology for next-generation wireless communications systems due to its capability to provide access for multiple users on the same resource. In this paper, we consider an uplink power-domain NOMA system aided by a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) in the presence of a jammer that aims to maximize its interference on the base station (BS) uplink receiver. We consider two kinds of RISs, a regular RIS whose elements can only change the phase of the incoming wave, and an RIS whose elements can also attenuate the incoming wave. Our aim is to minimize the total power transmitted by the user terminals under quality-of-service constraints by controlling both the propagation from the users and the jammer to the BS with help of the RIS. The resulting objective function and constraints are both non-linear and non-convex, so we address this problem using numerical optimization. Our numerical results show that the RIS can help to dramatically reduce the per user required transmit power in an interference-limited scenario.

The computational study of equilibria involving constraints on players' strategies has been largely neglected. However, in real-world applications, players are usually subject to constraints ruling out the feasibility of some of their strategies, such as, e.g., safety requirements and budget caps. Computational studies on constrained versions of the Nash equilibrium have lead to some results under very stringent assumptions, while finding constrained versions of the correlated equilibrium (CE) is still unexplored. In this paper, we introduce and computationally characterize constrained Phi-equilibria -- a more general notion than constrained CEs -- in normal-form games. We show that computing such equilibria is in general computationally intractable, and also that the set of the equilibria may not be convex, providing a sharp divide with unconstrained CEs. Nevertheless, we provide a polynomial-time algorithm for computing a constrained (approximate) Phi-equilibrium maximizing a given linear function, when either the number of constraints or that of players' actions is fixed. Moreover, in the special case in which a player's constraints do not depend on other players' strategies, we show that an exact, function-maximizing equilibrium can be computed in polynomial time, while one (approximate) equilibrium can be found with an efficient decentralized no-regret learning algorithm.

As the needs of Internet users and applications significantly changed over the last decade, inter-domain routing became more important to fulfill these needs. The ways how data flows over the Internet are still completely in the hand of network operators, who optimize traffic according to their own, local view of the network. We observe two potential limitations from this: Optimizing according to the local view may a) result in unused capacities in the global network and b) not meet the actual needs of users and applications. To identify and overcome these limitations, we present our BitTorrent over SCION approach, which enables multipath communication and intelligent path selection for endhosts in global torrent networks. We compare our implementation against BitTorrent over BGP and BGP-M in a small-scale Internet topology, observing an increase in goodput of 48% through multipathing compared to BitTorrent over BGP and 33% compared to the BGP-M candidate. Furthermore, we show that our proposed disjoint path selection algorithm is able to improve traffic flow in the network with a low number of outgoing connections to unchoked peers.

Fast multipliers with large bit widths can occupy significant silicon area, which, in turn, can be minimized by employing multi-cycle multipliers. This paper introduces architectures and parameterized Verilog circuit generators for 2-cycle integer multipliers. When implementing an algorithm in hardware, it is common that less than 1 multiplication needs to be performed per clock cycle. It is also possible that the multiplications per cycle is a fractional number, e.g., 3.5. In such case, we can surely use 4 multipliers, each with a throughput of 1 result per cycle. However, we can instead use 3 such multipliers plus a multiplier with a throughput of 1/2. Resource sharing allows a multiplier with a lower throughput to be smaller, hence area savings. These multipliers offer customization in regards to the latency and clock frequency. All proposed designs were automatically synthesized and tested for various bit widths. Two main architectures are presented in this work, and each has several variants. Our 2-cycle multipliers offer up to 21%, 42%, 32%, 41%, and 48% of area savings for bit widths of 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128, with respect to synthesizing the "*" operator with throughput of 1. Furthermore, some of the proposed designs also offer power savings under certain conditions.

Growing robots based on the eversion principle are known for their ability to extend rapidly, from within, along their longitudinal axis, and, in doing so, reach deep into hitherto inaccessible, remote spaces. Despite many advantages, eversion robots also present significant challenges, one of which is maintaining sensory payload at the tip without restricting the eversion process. A variety of tip mechanisms has been proposed by the robotics community, among them rounded caps of relatively complex construction that are not always compatible with functional hardware, such as sensors or navigation pouches, integrated with the main eversion structure. Moreover, many tip designs incorporate rigid materials, reducing the robot's flexibility and consequent ability to navigate through narrow openings. Here, we address these shortcomings and propose a design to overcome them: a soft, entirely fabric based, cylindrical cap that can easily be slipped onto the tip of eversion robots. Having created a series of caps of different sizes and materials, an experimental study was conducted to evaluate our new design in terms of four key aspects: eversion robot made from multiple layers of everting material, solid objects protruding from the eversion robot, squeezability, and navigability. In all scenarios, we can show that our soft, flexible cap is robust in its ability to maintain its position and is capable of transporting payloads such as a camera across long distances.

Brain Computer Interface (BCI) technologies have the potential to improve the lives of millions of people around the world, whether through assistive technologies or clinical diagnostic tools. Despite advancements in the field, however, at present consumer and clinical viability remains low. A key reason for this is that many of the existing BCI deployments require substantial data collection per end-user, which can be cumbersome, tedious, and error-prone to collect. We address this challenge via a deep learning model, which, when trained across sufficient data from multiple subjects, offers reasonable performance out-of-the-box, and can be customized to novel subjects via a transfer learning process. We demonstrate the fundamental viability of our approach by repurposing an older but well-curated electroencephalography (EEG) dataset and benchmarking against several common approaches/techniques. We then partition this dataset into a transfer learning benchmark and demonstrate that our approach significantly reduces data collection burden per-subject. This suggests that our model and methodology may yield improvements to BCI technologies and enhance their consumer/clinical viability.

Warning: this paper contains content that may be offensive or upsetting. In the current context where online platforms have been effectively weaponized in a variety of geo-political events and social issues, Internet memes make fair content moderation at scale even more difficult. Existing work on meme classification and tracking has focused on black-box methods that do not explicitly consider the semantics of the memes or the context of their creation. In this paper, we pursue a modular and explainable architecture for Internet meme understanding. We design and implement multimodal classification methods that perform example- and prototype-based reasoning over training cases, while leveraging both textual and visual SOTA models to represent the individual cases. We study the relevance of our modular and explainable models in detecting harmful memes on two existing tasks: Hate Speech Detection and Misogyny Classification. We compare the performance between example- and prototype-based methods, and between text, vision, and multimodal models, across different categories of harmfulness (e.g., stereotype and objectification). We devise a user-friendly interface that facilitates the comparative analysis of examples retrieved by all of our models for any given meme, informing the community about the strengths and limitations of these explainable methods.

Using multiple UAVs to manipulate the full posture of an object is a promising capability in many industrial applications, such as autonomous building construction and heavy-load transportation. Among various methods, manipulation via cables excels in mechanical simplicity and ease of use, but is challenging from a control perspective. Existing centralized control methods either neglect the dynamic coupling between UAVs and the load or resort to a cascade structure, which limits the operational speed and cannot guarantee safety. In this work, we propose a centralized control method that uses nonlinear model predictive control. This control method takes into account the full nonlinear model of the load-UAV system, as well as the constraints of UAV thrust, collision avoidance, and ensuring all cables are taut. By taking into account the above factors, the proposed control algorithm can fully exploit the performance of UAVs and facilitate the speed of operation. We demonstrate our algorithm through 6-DoF simulations to achieve fast and safe manipulation of the pose of a rigid-body payload using multiple UAVs.

The key challenge of image manipulation detection is how to learn generalizable features that are sensitive to manipulations in novel data, whilst specific to prevent false alarms on authentic images. Current research emphasizes the sensitivity, with the specificity overlooked. In this paper we address both aspects by multi-view feature learning and multi-scale supervision. By exploiting noise distribution and boundary artifact surrounding tampered regions, the former aims to learn semantic-agnostic and thus more generalizable features. The latter allows us to learn from authentic images which are nontrivial to be taken into account by current semantic segmentation network based methods. Our thoughts are realized by a new network which we term MVSS-Net. Extensive experiments on five benchmark sets justify the viability of MVSS-Net for both pixel-level and image-level manipulation detection.

Deep neural network architectures have traditionally been designed and explored with human expertise in a long-lasting trial-and-error process. This process requires huge amount of time, expertise, and resources. To address this tedious problem, we propose a novel algorithm to optimally find hyperparameters of a deep network architecture automatically. We specifically focus on designing neural architectures for medical image segmentation task. Our proposed method is based on a policy gradient reinforcement learning for which the reward function is assigned a segmentation evaluation utility (i.e., dice index). We show the efficacy of the proposed method with its low computational cost in comparison with the state-of-the-art medical image segmentation networks. We also present a new architecture design, a densely connected encoder-decoder CNN, as a strong baseline architecture to apply the proposed hyperparameter search algorithm. We apply the proposed algorithm to each layer of the baseline architectures. As an application, we train the proposed system on cine cardiac MR images from Automated Cardiac Diagnosis Challenge (ACDC) MICCAI 2017. Starting from a baseline segmentation architecture, the resulting network architecture obtains the state-of-the-art results in accuracy without performing any trial-and-error based architecture design approaches or close supervision of the hyperparameters changes.
