LoRa backscatter (LB) communication systems can be considered as a potential candidate for ultra low power wide area networks (LPWAN) because of their low cost and low power consumption. In this paper, we comprehensively analyze LB modulation from various aspects, i.e., temporal, spectral, and error performance characteristics. First, we propose a signal model for LB signals that accounts for the limited number of loads in the tag. Then, we investigate the spectral properties of LB signals, obtaining a closed-form expression for the power spectrum. Finally, we derived the symbol error rate (SER) of LB with two decoders, i.e., the maximum likelihood (ML) and fast Fourier transform (FFT) decoders, in both additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and double Nakagami-m fading channels. The spectral analysis shows that out-of-band emissions for LB satisfy the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) regulation only when considering a relatively large number of loads. For the error performance, unlike conventional LoRa, the FFT decoder is not optimal. Nevertheless, the ML decoder can achieve a performance similar to conventional LoRa with a moderate number of loads.

Data extraction algorithms on data hypercubes, or datacubes, are traditionally only capable of cutting boxes of data along the datacube axes. For many use cases however, this is not a sufficient approach and returns more data than users might actually need. This not only forces users to apply post-processing after extraction, but more importantly this consumes more I/O resources than is necessary. When considering very large datacubes from which users only want to extract small non-rectangular subsets, the box approach does not scale well. Indeed, with this traditional approach, I/O systems quickly reach capacity, trying to read and return unwanted data to users. In this paper, we propose a novel technique, based on computational geometry concepts, which instead carefully pre-selects the precise bytes of data which the user needs in order to then only read those from the datacube. As we discuss later on, this novel extraction method will considerably help scale access to large petabyte size data hypercubes in a variety of scientific fields.

Deep learning (DL) is characterised by its dynamic nature, with new deep neural network (DNN) architectures and approaches emerging every few years, driving the field's advancement. At the same time, the ever-increasing use of mobile devices (MDs) has resulted in a surge of DNN-based mobile applications. Although traditional architectures, like CNNs and RNNs, have been successfully integrated into MDs, this is not the case for Transformers, a relatively new model family that has achieved new levels of accuracy across AI tasks, but poses significant computational challenges. In this work, we aim to make steps towards bridging this gap by examining the current state of Transformers' on-device execution. To this end, we construct a benchmark of representative models and thoroughly evaluate their performance across MDs with different computational capabilities. Our experimental results show that Transformers are not accelerator-friendly and indicate the need for software and hardware optimisations to achieve efficient deployment.

Predicting the future behavior of human road users remains an open challenge for the development of risk-aware autonomous vehicles. An important aspect of this challenge is effectively capturing the uncertainty inherent to human behavior. This paper proposes an approach for probabilistic trajectory prediction based on normalizing flows, which provides an analytical expression of the learned distribution. We reformulate the problem of capturing distributions over trajectories into capturing distributions over abstracted trajectory features using an autoencoder, simplifying the learning task of the normalizing flows. TrajFlow improves the calibration of the learned distributions while achieving predictive performance on par with or superior to state-of-the-art methods on the ETH/UCY and the rounD data set.

Refactoring is a crucial technique for improving the efficiency and maintainability of software by restructuring its internal design while preserving its external behavior. While classical programs have benefited from various refactoring methods, the field of quantum programming lacks dedicated refactoring techniques. The distinct properties of quantum computing, such as quantum superposition, entanglement, and the no-cloning principle, necessitate specialized refactoring techniques. This paper bridges this gap by presenting a comprehensive set of refactorings specifically designed for quantum programs. Each refactoring is carefully designed and explained to ensure the effective restructuring of quantum programs. Additionally, we highlight the importance of tool support in automating the refactoring process for quantum programs. Although our study focuses on the quantum programming language Q\#, our approach is applicable to other quantum programming languages, offering a general solution for enhancing the maintainability and efficiency of quantum software.

The storage stack in the traditional operating system is primarily optimized towards improving the CPU utilization and hiding the long I/O latency imposed by the slow I/O devices such as hard disk drivers (HDDs). However, the emerging storage media experience significant technique shifts in the past decade, which exhibit high bandwidth and low latency. These high-performance storage devices, unfortunately, suffer from the huge overheads imposed by the system software including the long storage stack and the frequent context switch between the user and kernel modes. Many researchers have investigated huge efforts in addressing this challenge by constructing a direct software path between a user process and the underlying storage devices. We revisit such novel designs in the prior work and present a survey in this paper. Specifically, we classify the former research into three categories according to their commonalities. We then present the designs of each category based on the timeline and analyze their uniqueness and contributions. This paper also reviews the applications that exploit the characteristics of theses designs. Given that the user-space storage is a growing research field, we believe this paper can be an inspiration for future researchers, who are interested in the user-space storage system designs.

The problem Power Dominating Set (PDS) is motivated by the placement of phasor measurement units to monitor electrical networks. It asks for a minimum set of vertices in a graph that observes all remaining vertices by exhaustively applying two observation rules. Our contribution is twofold. First, we determine the parameterized complexity of PDS by proving it is $W[P]$-complete when parameterized with respect to the solution size. We note that it was only known to be $W[2]$-hard before. Our second and main contribution is a new algorithm for PDS that efficiently solves practical instances. Our algorithm consists of two complementary parts. The first is a set of reduction rules for PDS that can also be used in conjunction with previously existing algorithms. The second is an algorithm for solving the remaining kernel based on the implicit hitting set approach. Our evaluation on a set of power grid instances from the literature shows that our solver outperforms previous state-of-the-art solvers for PDS by more than one order of magnitude on average. Furthermore, our algorithm can solve previously unsolved instances of continental scale within a few minutes.

Two numerical schemes are proposed and investigated for the Yang--Mills equations, which can be seen as a nonlinear generalisation of the Maxwell equations set on Lie algebra-valued functions, with similarities to certain formulations of General Relativity. Both schemes are built on the Discrete de Rham (DDR) method, and inherit from its main features: an arbitrary order of accuracy, and applicability to generic polyhedral meshes. They make use of the complex property of the DDR, together with a Lagrange-multiplier approach, to preserve, at the discrete level, a nonlinear constraint associated with the Yang--Mills equations. We also show that the schemes satisfy a discrete energy dissipation (the dissipation coming solely from the implicit time stepping). Issues around the practical implementations of the schemes are discussed; in particular, the assembly of the local contributions in a way that minimises the price we pay in dealing with nonlinear terms, in conjunction with the tensorisation coming from the Lie algebra. Numerical tests are provided using a manufactured solution, and show that both schemes display a convergence in $L^2$-norm of the potential and electrical fields in $\mathcal O(h^{k+1})$ (provided that the time step is of that order), where $k$ is the polynomial degree chosen for the DDR complex. We also numerically demonstrate the preservation of the constraint.

As the saying goes, "seeing is believing". However, with the development of digital face editing tools, we can no longer trust what we can see. Although face forgery detection has made promising progress, most current methods are designed manually by human experts, which is labor-consuming. In this paper, we develop an end-to-end framework based on neural architecture search (NAS) for deepfake detection, which can automatically design network architectures without human intervention. First, a forgery-oriented search space is created to choose appropriate operations for this task. Second, we propose a novel performance estimation metric, which guides the search process to select more general models. The cross-dataset search is also considered to develop more general architectures. Eventually, we connect the cells in a cascaded pyramid way for final forgery classification. Compared with state-of-the-art networks artificially designed, our method achieves competitive performance in both in-dataset and cross-dataset scenarios.

The quantum separability problem consists in deciding whether a bipartite density matrix is entangled or separable. In this work, we propose a machine learning pipeline for finding approximate solutions for this NP-hard problem in large-scale scenarios. We provide an efficient Frank-Wolfe-based algorithm to approximately seek the nearest separable density matrix and derive a systematic way for labeling density matrices as separable or entangled, allowing us to treat quantum separability as a classification problem. Our method is applicable to any two-qudit mixed states. Numerical experiments with quantum states of 3- and 7-dimensional qudits validate the efficiency of the proposed procedure, and demonstrate that it scales up to thousands of density matrices with a high quantum entanglement detection accuracy. This takes a step towards benchmarking quantum separability to support the development of more powerful entanglement detection techniques.
