This paper investigates the collaboration of multiple connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) in different scenarios. In general, the collaboration of CAVs can be formulated as a nonlinear and nonconvex model predictive control (MPC) problem. Most of the existing approaches available for utilization to solve such an optimization problem suffer from the drawback of considerable computational burden, which hinders the practical implementation in real time. This paper proposes the use of sequential convex programming (SCP), which is a powerful approach to solving the nonlinear and nonconvex MPC problem in real time. To appropriately deploy the methodology, as a first stage, SCP requires linearization and discretization when addressing the nonlinear dynamics of the system model adequately. Based on the linearization and discretization, the original MPC problem can be transformed into a quadratically constrained quadratic programming (QCQP) problem. Besides, SCP also involves convexification to handle the associated nonconvex constraints. Thus, the nonconvex QCQP can be reduced to a quadratic programming (QP) problem that can be solved rather quickly. Therefore, the computational efficiency is suitably improved despite the existence of nonlinear and nonconvex characteristics, whereby the implementation is realized in real time. Furthermore, simulation results in three different scenarios of autonomous driving are presented to validate the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed approach.

Clustering has received much attention in Statistics and Machine learning with the aim of developing statistical models and autonomous algorithms which are capable of acquiring information from raw data in order to perform exploratory analysis.Several techniques have been developed to cluster sampled univariate vectors only considering the average value over the whole period and as such they have not been able to explore fully the underlying distribution as well as other features of the data, especially in presence of structured time series. We propose a model-based clustering technique that is based on quantile regression permitting us to cluster bivariate time series at different quantile levels. We model the within cluster density using asymmetric Laplace distribution allowing us to take into account asymmetry in the distribution of the data. We evaluate the performance of the proposed technique through a simulation study. The method is then applied to cluster time series observed from Glob-colour satellite data related to trophic status indices with aim of evaluating their temporal dynamics in order to identify homogeneous areas, in terms of trophic status, in the Gulf of Gabes.

Motivated by decentralized sensing and policy evaluation problems, we consider a particular type of distributed optimization problem that involves averaging several stochastic, online observations on a network. We design a dual-based method for this consensus problem with Polyak--Ruppert averaging and analyze its behavior. We show that this algorithm attains an accelerated deterministic error depending optimally on the condition number of the network, and also that it has order-optimal stochastic error. This improves on the guarantees of state-of-the-art distributed optimization algorithms when specialized to this setting, and yields -- among other things -- corollaries for decentralized policy evaluation. Our proofs rely on explicitly studying the evolution of several relevant linear systems, and may be of independent interest. Numerical experiments are provided, which validate our theoretical results and demonstrate that our approach outperforms existing methods in finite-sample scenarios on several natural network topologies.

The Pigeonhole Principle (PHP) has been heavily studied in automated reasoning, both theoretically and in practice. Most solvers have exponential runtime and proof length, while some specialized techniques achieve polynomial runtime and proof length. Several decades ago, Cook manually constructed $O(n^4)$ extended resolution proofs, where $n$ denotes the number of pigeons.Existing automated techniques only surpass Cook's proofs in similar proof systems for large $n$. We construct the shortest known proofs of PHP in the standard proof format of modern SAT solving, DRAT. Using auxiliary variables and by recursively decomposing the original program into smaller sizes, we manually obtain proofs having length $O(n^3)$ and leading coefficient $5/2$.

LU and Cholesky matrix factorization algorithms are core subroutines used to solve systems of linear equations (SLEs) encountered while solving an optimization problem. Standard factorization algorithms are highly efficient but remain susceptible to the accumulation of roundoff errors, which can lead solvers to return feasibility and optimality claims that are actually invalid. This paper introduces a novel approach for solving sequences of closely related SLEs encountered in nonlinear programming efficiently and without roundoff errors. Specifically, it introduces rank-one update algorithms for the roundoff-error-free (REF) factorization framework, a toolset built on integer-preserving arithmetic that has led to the development and implementation of fail-proof SLE solution subroutines for linear programming. The formal guarantees of the proposed algorithms are established through the derivation of theoretical insights. Their advantages are supported with computational experiments, which demonstrate upwards of 75x-improvements over exact factorization run-times on fully dense matrices with over one million entries. A significant advantage of the methodology is that the length of any coefficient calculated via the proposed algorithms is bounded polynomially in the size of the inputs without having to resort to greatest common divisor operations, which are required by and thereby hinder an efficient implementation of exact rational arithmetic approaches.

The increasing complexity of systems-on-a-chip requires the continuous development of electronic design automation tools. Nowadays, the simulation of systems-on-a-chip using virtual platforms is common. Virtual platforms enable hardware/software co-design to shorten the time to market, offer insights into the models, and allow debugging of the simulated hardware. Profiling tools are required to improve the usability of virtual platforms. During simulation, these tools capture data that are evaluated afterward. Those data can reveal information about the simulation itself and the software executed on the platform. This work presents the tracing tool NISTT that can profile SystemC-TLM-2.0-based virtual platforms. NISTT is implemented in a completely non-intrusive way. That means no changes in the simulation are needed, the source code of the simulation is not required, and the traced simulation does not need to contain debug symbols. The standardized SystemC application programming interface guarantees the compatibility of NISTT with other simulations. The strengths of NISTT are demonstrated in a case study. Here, NISTT is connected to a virtual platform and traces the boot process of Linux. After the simulation, the database created by NISTT is evaluated, and the results are visualized. Furthermore, the overhead of NISTT is quantified. It is shown that NISTT has only a minor influence on the overall simulation performance.

Subset-Sum is an NP-complete problem where one must decide if a multiset of $n$ integers contains a subset whose elements sum to a target value $m$. The best-known classical and quantum algorithms run in time $\tilde{O}(2^{n/2})$ and $\tilde{O}(2^{n/3})$, respectively, based on the well-known meet-in-the-middle technique. Here we introduce a novel classical dynamic-programming-based data structure with applications to Subset-Sum and a number of variants, including Equal-Sums (where one seeks two disjoint subsets with the same sum), 2-Subset-Sum (a relaxed version of Subset-Sum where each item in the input set can be used twice in the summation), and Shifted-Sums, a generalization of both of these variants, where one seeks two disjoint subsets whose sums differ by some specified value. Given any modulus $p$, our data structure can be constructed in time $O(n^2p)$, after which queries can be made in time $O(n^2)$ to the lists of subsets summing to any value modulo $p$. We use this data structure in combination with variable-time amplitude amplification and a new quantum pair finding algorithm, extending the quantum claw finding algorithm to the multiple solutions case, to give an $O(2^{0.504n})$ quantum algorithm for Shifted-Sums, an improvement on the best-known $O(2^{0.773n})$ classical running time. Incidentally, we obtain new $\tilde{O}(2^{n/2})$ and $\tilde{O}(2^{n/3})$ classical and quantum algorithms for Subset-Sum, not based on the seminal meet-in-the-middle method. We also study Pigeonhole Equal-Sums and Pigeonhole Modular Equal-Sums, where the existence of a solution is guaranteed by the pigeonhole principle. For the former problem, we give faster classical and quantum algorithms with running time $\tilde{O}(2^{n/2})$ and $\tilde{O}(2^{2n/5})$, respectively. For the more general modular problem, we give a classical algorithm that also runs in time $\tilde{O}(2^{n/2})$.

To study the resilience of distributed learning, the "Byzantine" literature considers a strong threat model where workers can report arbitrary gradients to the parameter server. Whereas this model helped obtain several fundamental results, it has sometimes been considered unrealistic, when the workers are mostly trustworthy machines. In this paper, we show a surprising equivalence between this model and data poisoning, a threat considered much more realistic. More specifically, we prove that every gradient attack can be reduced to data poisoning, in any personalized federated learning system with PAC guarantees (which we show are both desirable and realistic). This equivalence makes it possible to obtain new impossibility results on the resilience of any "robust" learning algorithm to data poisoning in highly heterogeneous applications, as corollaries of existing impossibility theorems on Byzantine machine learning. Moreover, using our equivalence, we derive a practical attack that we show (theoretically and empirically) can be very effective against classical personalized federated learning models.

Graph machine learning has been extensively studied in both academic and industry. However, as the literature on graph learning booms with a vast number of emerging methods and techniques, it becomes increasingly difficult to manually design the optimal machine learning algorithm for different graph-related tasks. To tackle the challenge, automated graph machine learning, which aims at discovering the best hyper-parameter and neural architecture configuration for different graph tasks/data without manual design, is gaining an increasing number of attentions from the research community. In this paper, we extensively discuss automated graph machine approaches, covering hyper-parameter optimization (HPO) and neural architecture search (NAS) for graph machine learning. We briefly overview existing libraries designed for either graph machine learning or automated machine learning respectively, and further in depth introduce AutoGL, our dedicated and the world's first open-source library for automated graph machine learning. Last but not least, we share our insights on future research directions for automated graph machine learning. This paper is the first systematic and comprehensive discussion of approaches, libraries as well as directions for automated graph machine learning.

Adversarial attack is a technique for deceiving Machine Learning (ML) models, which provides a way to evaluate the adversarial robustness. In practice, attack algorithms are artificially selected and tuned by human experts to break a ML system. However, manual selection of attackers tends to be sub-optimal, leading to a mistakenly assessment of model security. In this paper, a new procedure called Composite Adversarial Attack (CAA) is proposed for automatically searching the best combination of attack algorithms and their hyper-parameters from a candidate pool of \textbf{32 base attackers}. We design a search space where attack policy is represented as an attacking sequence, i.e., the output of the previous attacker is used as the initialization input for successors. Multi-objective NSGA-II genetic algorithm is adopted for finding the strongest attack policy with minimum complexity. The experimental result shows CAA beats 10 top attackers on 11 diverse defenses with less elapsed time (\textbf{6 $\times$ faster than AutoAttack}), and achieves the new state-of-the-art on $l_{\infty}$, $l_{2}$ and unrestricted adversarial attacks.
