Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) emerged as a viable computing allocation method that facilitates offloading tasks to edge servers for efficient processing. The integration of MEC with 5G, referred to as 5G-MEC, provides real-time processing and data-driven decision-making in close proximity to the user. The 5G-MEC has gained significant recognition in task offloading as an essential tool for applications that require low delay. Nevertheless, few studies consider the dropped task ratio metric. Disregarding this metric might possibly undermine system efficiency. In this paper, the dropped task ratio and delay has been minimized in a realistic 5G-MEC task offloading scenario implemented in NS3. We utilize Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) to optimize delay and dropped task ratio. We examined the effect of the number of tasks and users on the dropped task ratio and delay. Compared to two traditional offloading schemes, First Come First Serve (FCFS) and Shortest Task First (STF), our proposed method effectively works in 5G-MEC task offloading scenario. For MILP, the dropped task ratio and delay has been minimized by 20% and 2ms compared to GA.

Memory bandwidth is known to be a performance bottleneck for FPGA accelerators, especially when they deal with large multi-dimensional data-sets. A large body of work focuses on reducing of off-chip transfers, but few authors try to improve the efficiency of transfers. This paper addresses the later issue by proposing (i) a compiler-based approach to accelerator's data layout to maximize contiguous access to off-chip memory, and (ii) data packing and runtime compression techniques that take advantage of this layout to further improve memory performance. We show that our approach can decrease the I/O cycles up to $7\times$ compared to un-optimized memory accesses.

Optimal control (OC) algorithms such as Differential Dynamic Programming (DDP) take advantage of the derivatives of the dynamics to efficiently control physical systems. Yet, in the presence of nonsmooth dynamical systems, such class of algorithms are likely to fail due, for instance, to the presence of discontinuities in the dynamics derivatives or because of non-informative gradient. On the contrary, reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms have shown better empirical results in scenarios exhibiting non-smooth effects (contacts, frictions, etc). Our approach leverages recent works on randomized smoothing (RS) to tackle non-smoothness issues commonly encountered in optimal control, and provides key insights on the interplay between RL and OC through the prism of RS methods. This naturally leads us to introduce the randomized Differential Dynamic Programming (R-DDP) algorithm accounting for deterministic but non-smooth dynamics in a very sample-efficient way. The experiments demonstrate that our method is able to solve classic robotic problems with dry friction and frictional contacts, where classical OC algorithms are likely to fail and RL algorithms require in practice a prohibitive number of samples to find an optimal solution.

This study presents a comprehensive overview of PIML techniques in the context of condition monitoring. The central concept driving PIML is the incorporation of known physical laws and constraints into machine learning algorithms, enabling them to learn from available data while remaining consistent with physical principles. Through fusing domain knowledge with data-driven learning, PIML methods offer enhanced accuracy and interpretability in comparison to purely data-driven approaches. In this comprehensive survey, detailed examinations are performed with regard to the methodology by which known physical principles are integrated within machine learning frameworks, as well as their suitability for specific tasks within condition monitoring. Incorporation of physical knowledge into the ML model may be realized in a variety of methods, with each having its unique advantages and drawbacks. The distinct advantages and limitations of each methodology for the integration of physics within data-driven models are detailed, considering factors such as computational efficiency, model interpretability, and generalizability to different systems in condition monitoring and fault detection. Several case studies and works of literature utilizing this emerging concept are presented to demonstrate the efficacy of PIML in condition monitoring applications. From the literature reviewed, the versatility and potential of PIML in condition monitoring may be demonstrated. Novel PIML methods offer an innovative solution for addressing the complexities of condition monitoring and associated challenges. This comprehensive survey helps form the foundation for future work in the field. As the technology continues to advance, PIML is expected to play a crucial role in enhancing maintenance strategies, system reliability, and overall operational efficiency in engineering systems.

Approximately 61% of cyber attacks involve adversaries in possession of valid credentials. Attackers acquire credentials through various means, including phishing, dark web data drops, password reuse, etc. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) helps to thwart attacks that use valid credentials, but attackers still commonly breach systems by tricking users into accepting MFA step up requests through techniques, such as ``MFA Bombing'', where multiple requests are sent to a user until they accept one. Currently, there are several solutions to this problem, each with varying levels of security and increasing invasiveness on user devices. This paper proposes a token-based enrollment architecture that is less invasive to user devices than mobile device management, but still offers strong protection against use of stolen credentials and MFA attacks.

While the body of research directed towards constructing and generating clarifying questions in mixed-initiative conversational search systems is vast, research aimed at processing and comprehending users' answers to such questions is scarce. To this end, we present a simple yet effective method for processing answers to clarifying questions, moving away from previous work that simply appends answers to the original query and thus potentially degrades retrieval performance. Specifically, we propose a classifier for assessing usefulness of the prompted clarifying question and an answer given by the user. Useful questions or answers are further appended to the conversation history and passed to a transformer-based query rewriting module. Results demonstrate significant improvements over strong non-mixed-initiative baselines. Furthermore, the proposed approach mitigates the performance drops when non useful questions and answers are utilized.

Encompassing numerous nationwide, statewide, and institutional initiatives in the United States, provider profiling has evolved into a major health care undertaking with ubiquitous applications, profound implications, and high-stakes consequences. In line with such a significant profile, the literature has accumulated a number of developments dedicated to enhancing the statistical paradigm of provider profiling. Tackling wide-ranging profiling issues, these methods typically adjust for risk factors using linear predictors. While this approach is simple, it can be too restrictive to characterize complex and dynamic factor-outcome associations in certain contexts. One such example arises from evaluating dialysis facilities treating Medicare beneficiaries with end-stage renal disease. It is of primary interest to consider how the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) affected 30-day unplanned readmissions in 2020. The impact of COVID-19 on the risk of readmission varied dramatically across pandemic phases. To efficiently capture the variation while profiling facilities, we develop a generalized partially linear model (GPLM) that incorporates a neural network. Considering provider-level clustering, we implement the GPLM as a stratified sampling-based stochastic optimization algorithm that features accelerated convergence. Furthermore, an exact test is designed to identify under- and over-performing facilities, with an accompanying funnel plot to visualize profiles. The advantages of the proposed methods are demonstrated through simulation experiments and profiling dialysis facilities using 2020 Medicare claims from the United States Renal Data System.

Strategies for partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDP) typically require memory. One way to represent this memory is via automata. We present a method to learn an automaton representation of a strategy using a modification of the L*-algorithm. Compared to the tabular representation of a strategy, the resulting automaton is dramatically smaller and thus also more explainable. Moreover, in the learning process, our heuristics may even improve the strategy's performance. In contrast to approaches that synthesize an automaton directly from the POMDP thereby solving it, our approach is incomparably more scalable.

We systematically analyze the accuracy of Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) in approximating solutions to the critical Surface Quasi-Geostrophic (SQG) equation on two-dimensional periodic boxes. The critical SQG equation involves advection and diffusion described by nonlocal periodic operators, posing challenges for neural network-based methods that do not commonly exhibit periodic boundary conditions. In this paper, we present a novel approximation of these operators using their nonperiodic analogs based on singular integral representation formulas and use it to perform error estimates. This idea can be generalized to a larger class of nonlocal partial differential equations whose solutions satisfy prescribed boundary conditions, thereby initiating a new PINNs theory for equations with nonlocalities.

In the rapidly advancing field of artificial intelligence, the concept of Red-Teaming or Jailbreaking large language models (LLMs) has emerged as a crucial area of study. This approach is especially significant in terms of assessing and enhancing the safety and robustness of these models. This paper investigates the intricate consequences of such modifications through model editing, uncovering a complex relationship between enhancing model accuracy and preserving its ethical integrity. Our in-depth analysis reveals a striking paradox: while injecting accurate information is crucial for model reliability, it can paradoxically destabilize the model's foundational framework, resulting in unpredictable and potentially unsafe behaviors. Additionally, we propose a benchmark dataset NicheHazardQA to investigate this unsafe behavior both within the same and cross topical domain. This aspect of our research sheds light on how the edits, impact the model's safety metrics and guardrails. Our findings show that model editing serves as a cost-effective tool for topical red-teaming by methodically applying targeted edits and evaluating the resultant model behavior
