The recent advancement of Blockchain technology consolidates its status as a viable alternative for various domains. However, evaluating the performance of blockchain applications can be challenging due to the underlying infrastructure's complexity and distributed nature. Therefore, a reliable modelling approach is needed to boost Blockchain-based applications' development and evaluation. While simulation-based solutions have been researched, machine learning (ML) model-based techniques are rarely discussed in conjunction with evaluating blockchain application performance. Our novel research makes use of two ML model-based methods. Firstly, we train a $k$ nearest neighbour ($k$NN) and support vector machine (SVM) to predict blockchain performance using predetermined configuration parameters. Secondly, we employ the salp swarm optimization (SO) ML model which enables the investigation of optimal blockchain configurations for achieving the required performance level. We use rough set theory to enhance SO, hereafter called ISO, which we demonstrate to prove achieving an accurate recommendation of optimal parameter configurations; despite uncertainty. Finally, statistical comparisons indicate that our models have a competitive edge. The $k$NN model outperforms SVM by 5\% and the ISO also demonstrates a reduction of 4\% inaccuracy deviation compared to regular SO.

We report on what seems to be an intriguing connection between variable integration time and partial velocity refreshment of Ideal Hamiltonian Monte Carlo samplers, both of which can be used for reducing the dissipative behavior of the dynamics. More concretely, we show that on quadratic potentials, efficiency can be improved through these means by a $\sqrt{\kappa}$ factor in Wasserstein-2 distance, compared to classical constant integration time, fully refreshed HMC. We additionally explore the benefit of randomized integrators for simulating the Hamiltonian dynamics under higher order regularity conditions.

Initial steps in statistical downscaling involve being able to compare observed data from regional climate models (RCMs). This prediction requires (1) regridding RCM output from their native grids and at differing spatial resolutions to a common grid in order to be comparable to observed data and (2) bias correcting RCM data, via quantile mapping, for example, for future modeling and analysis. The uncertainty associated with (1) is not always considered for downstream operations in (2). This work examines this uncertainty, which is not often made available to the user of a regridded data product. This analysis is applied to RCM solar radiation data from the NA-CORDEX data archive and observed data from the National Solar Radiation Database housed at the National Renewable Energy Lab. A case study of the mentioned methods over California is presented.

Traffic congestion in dense urban centers presents an economical and environmental burden. In recent years, the availability of vehicle-to-anything communication allows for the transmission of detailed vehicle states to the infrastructure that can be used for intelligent traffic light control. The other way around, the infrastructure can provide vehicles with advice on driving behavior, such as appropriate velocities, which can improve the efficacy of the traffic system. Several research works applied deep reinforcement learning to either traffic light control or vehicle speed advice. In this work, we propose a first attempt to jointly learn the control of both. We show this to improve the efficacy of traffic systems. In our experiments, the joint control approach reduces average vehicle trip delays, w.r.t. controlling only traffic lights, in eight out of eleven benchmark scenarios. Analyzing the qualitative behavior of the vehicle speed advice policy, we observe that this is achieved by smoothing out the velocity profile of vehicles nearby a traffic light. Learning joint control of traffic signaling and speed advice in the real world could help to reduce congestion and mitigate the economical and environmental repercussions of today's traffic systems.

We report on a study that employs an in-house developed simulation infrastructure to accomplish zero shot policy transferability for a control policy associated with a scale autonomous vehicle. We focus on implementing policies that require no real world data to be trained (Zero-Shot Transfer), and are developed in-house as opposed to being validated by previous works. We do this by implementing a Neural Network (NN) controller that is trained only on a family of circular reference trajectories. The sensors used are RTK-GPS and IMU, the latter for providing heading. The NN controller is trained using either a human driver (via human in the loop simulation), or a Model Predictive Control (MPC) strategy. We demonstrate these two approaches in conjunction with two operation scenarios: the vehicle follows a waypoint-defined trajectory at constant speed; and the vehicle follows a speed profile that changes along the vehicle's waypoint-defined trajectory. The primary contribution of this work is the demonstration of Zero-Shot Transfer in conjunction with a novel feed-forward NN controller trained using a general purpose, in-house developed simulation platform.

Clustering of urban traffic patterns is an essential task in many different areas of traffic management and planning. In this paper, two significant applications in the clustering of urban traffic patterns are described. The first application estimates the missing speed values using the speed of road segments with similar traffic patterns to colorify map tiles. The second one is the estimation of essential road segments for generating addresses for a local point on the map, using the similarity patterns of different road segments. The speed time series extracts the traffic pattern in different road segments. In this paper, we proposed the time series clustering algorithm based on K-Means and Dynamic Time Warping. The case study of our proposed algorithm is based on the Snapp application's driver speed time series data. The results of the two applications illustrate that the proposed method can extract similar urban traffic patterns.

Nowadays many research articles are prefaced with research highlights to summarize the main findings of the paper. Highlights not only help researchers precisely and quickly identify the contributions of a paper, they also enhance the discoverability of the article via search engines. We aim to automatically construct research highlights given certain segments of a research paper. We use a pointer-generator network with coverage mechanism and a contextual embedding layer at the input that encodes the input tokens into SciBERT embeddings. We test our model on a benchmark dataset, CSPubSum, and also present MixSub, a new multi-disciplinary corpus of papers for automatic research highlight generation. For both CSPubSum and MixSub, we have observed that the proposed model achieves the best performance compared to related variants and other models proposed in the literature. On the CSPubSum dataset, our model achieves the best performance when the input is only the abstract of a paper as opposed to other segments of the paper. It produces ROUGE-1, ROUGE-2 and ROUGE-L F1-scores of 38.26, 14.26 and 35.51, respectively, METEOR score of 32.62, and BERTScore F1 of 86.65 which outperform all other baselines. On the new MixSub dataset, where only the abstract is the input, our proposed model (when trained on the whole training corpus without distinguishing between the subject categories) achieves ROUGE-1, ROUGE-2 and ROUGE-L F1-scores of 31.78, 9.76 and 29.3, respectively, METEOR score of 24.00, and BERTScore F1 of 85.25.

We consider the downlink of a cooperative cellular communications system, where several base-stations around each mobile cooperate and perform zero-forcing to reduce the received interference at the mobile. We derive closed-form expressions for the asymptotic performance of the network as the number of antennas per base station grows large. These expressions capture the trade off between various system parameters, and characterize the joint effect of noise and interference (where either noise or interference is asymptotically dominant and where both are asymptotically relevant). The asymptotic results are verified using Monte Carlo simulations, which indicate that they are useful even when the number of antennas per base station is only moderately large. Additionally, we show that when the number of antennas per base station grows large, power allocation can be optimized locally at each base station. We hence present a power allocation algorithm that achieves near optimal performance while significantly reducing the coordination overhead between base stations. The presented analysis is significantly more challenging than the uplink analysis, due to the dependence between beamforming vectors of nearby base stations. This statistical dependence is handled by introducing novel bounds on marked shot-noise point processes with dependent marks, which are also useful in other contexts.

Learning on big data brings success for artificial intelligence (AI), but the annotation and training costs are expensive. In future, learning on small data is one of the ultimate purposes of AI, which requires machines to recognize objectives and scenarios relying on small data as humans. A series of machine learning models is going on this way such as active learning, few-shot learning, deep clustering. However, there are few theoretical guarantees for their generalization performance. Moreover, most of their settings are passive, that is, the label distribution is explicitly controlled by one specified sampling scenario. This survey follows the agnostic active sampling under a PAC (Probably Approximately Correct) framework to analyze the generalization error and label complexity of learning on small data using a supervised and unsupervised fashion. With these theoretical analyses, we categorize the small data learning models from two geometric perspectives: the Euclidean and non-Euclidean (hyperbolic) mean representation, where their optimization solutions are also presented and discussed. Later, some potential learning scenarios that may benefit from small data learning are then summarized, and their potential learning scenarios are also analyzed. Finally, some challenging applications such as computer vision, natural language processing that may benefit from learning on small data are also surveyed.

Graph neural networks (GNNs) have demonstrated a significant boost in prediction performance on graph data. At the same time, the predictions made by these models are often hard to interpret. In that regard, many efforts have been made to explain the prediction mechanisms of these models from perspectives such as GNNExplainer, XGNN and PGExplainer. Although such works present systematic frameworks to interpret GNNs, a holistic review for explainable GNNs is unavailable. In this survey, we present a comprehensive review of explainability techniques developed for GNNs. We focus on explainable graph neural networks and categorize them based on the use of explainable methods. We further provide the common performance metrics for GNNs explanations and point out several future research directions.
