在本文中，我们提出了一种通用的统一跟踪方法，用于使用机器人臂控制弹性可变形物体的形状。我们的方法是通过在对象周围形成晶格，将对象绑定到晶格，并跟踪和伺服晶格而不是对象来起作用。这使我们的方法对任何通用形式的可变形物体（线性，薄壳，体积）具有完整的3D控制。此外，它将方法的运行时复杂性与对象的几何复杂性分解。我们的方法基于可行的（ARAP）变形模型。它不需要知道对象的机械参数，并且可以通过大变形将对象驱动到所需的形状。我们方法的输入是对象表面的静止形状的点云，并且每个帧中的3D摄像头捕获了点云。 Ovearll，我们的方法比现有方法更广泛地适用。我们通过各种形状和材料（纸，橡胶，塑料，泡沫）的可变形物体进行多种实验来验证方法的效率。实验视频可在项目网站上找到：https：//sites.google.com/view/tracking-servoing-apphach。

Diversity Searcher is a tool originally developed to help analyse diversity in news media texts. It relies on a form of automated content analysis and thus rests on prior assumptions and depends on certain design choices related to diversity and fairness. One such design choice is the external knowledge source(s) used. In this article, we discuss implications that these sources can have on the results of content analysis. We compare two data sources that Diversity Searcher has worked with - DBpedia and Wikidata - with respect to their ontological coverage and diversity, and describe implications for the resulting analyses of text corpora. We describe a case study of the relative over- or under-representation of Belgian political parties between 1990 and 2020 in the English-language DBpedia, the Dutch-language DBpedia, and Wikidata, and highlight the many decisions needed with regard to the design of this data analysis and the assumptions behind it, as well as implications from the results. In particular, we came across a staggering over-representation of the political right in the English-language DBpedia.

The widespread use of information and communication technology (ICT) over the course of the last decades has been a primary catalyst behind the digitalization of power systems. Meanwhile, as the utilization rate of the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to rise along with recent advancements in ICT, the need for secure and computationally efficient monitoring of critical infrastructures like the electrical grid and the agents that participate in it is growing. A cyber-physical system, such as the electrical grid, may experience anomalies for a number of different reasons. These may include physical defects, mistakes in measurement and communication, cyberattacks, and other similar occurrences. The goal of this study is to emphasize what the most common incidents are with power systems and to give an overview and classification of the most common ways to find problems, starting with the consumer/prosumer end working up to the primary power producers. In addition, this article aimed to discuss the methods and techniques, such as artificial intelligence (AI) that are used to identify anomalies in the power systems and markets.

Graph neural networks (GNNs) have pushed the state-of-the-art (SOTA) for performance in learning and predicting on large-scale data present in social networks, biology, etc. Since integrated circuits (ICs) can naturally be represented as graphs, there has been a tremendous surge in employing GNNs for machine learning (ML)-based methods for various aspects of IC design. Given this trajectory, there is a timely need to review and discuss some powerful and versatile GNN approaches for advancing IC design. In this paper, we propose a generic pipeline for tailoring GNN models toward solving challenging problems for IC design. We outline promising options for each pipeline element, and we discuss selected and promising works, like leveraging GNNs to break SOTA logic obfuscation. Our comprehensive overview of GNNs frameworks covers (i) electronic design automation (EDA) and IC design in general, (ii) design of reliable ICs, and (iii) design as well as analysis of secure ICs. We provide our overview and related resources also in the GNN4IC hub at https://github.com/DfX-NYUAD/GNN4IC. Finally, we discuss interesting open problems for future research.

蜂窝网络（LTE，5G及以后）的增长急剧增长，消费者的需求很高，并且比具有先进的电信技术的其他无线网络更有希望。这些网络的主要目标是将数十亿个设备，系统和用户连接到高速数据传输，高电池容量和低延迟，以及支持广泛的新应用程序，例如虚拟现实，元评估，远程医疗，在线教育，自动驾驶汽车，高级制造等。为了实现这些目标，使用人工智能（AI）方法来实现频谱管理的新方法，以实现这些目标。本文使用基于AI的语义分割模型对光谱传感方法进行了脆弱性分析，以在具有防御性蒸馏方法的情况下识别对抗性攻击下的蜂窝网络信号。结果表明，缓解方法可以显着减少针对对抗攻击的基于AI的光谱传感模型的漏洞。

仿真环境的兴起已经实现了基于学习的组装计划的方法，否则这是一项劳动密集型和艰巨的任务。组装家具特别有趣，因为家具是复杂的，对基于学习的方法构成了挑战。令人惊讶的是，人类可以解决组装产品的2D快照。尽管近年来见证了家具组装的有希望的基于学习的方法，但他们假设每个组装步骤都有正确的连接标签，这在实践中很昂贵。在本文中，我们减轻了这一假设，并旨在以尽可能少的人类专业知识和监督来解决家具。具体而言，我们假设组装点云的可用性，并比较当前组件的点云和目标产品的点云，请根据两种措施获得新的奖励信号：不正确和不完整。我们表明，我们的新颖奖励信号可以训练一个深层网络，以成功组装不同类型的家具。可用的代码和网络：https：//github.com/metu-kalfa/assemblerl

过程变化和设备老化对电路设计师构成了深刻的挑战。如果不对变化对电路路径的延迟的影响进行精确理解，无法正确估计避免定时违规行为的后卫带。对于先进的技术节点，此问题加剧了，其中晶体管尺寸达到原子水平，并且已建立的边缘受到严格限制。因此，传统的最坏情况分析变得不切实际，导致无法忍受的性能开销。相反，过程变化/衰老感知的静态时序分析（STA）为设计师提供了准确的统计延迟分布。然后可以有效地估计小但足够的时正时标志。但是，这样的分析是昂贵的，因为它需要密集的蒙特卡洛模拟。此外，它需要访问基于机密的物理老化模型来生成STA所需的标准细胞库。在这项工作中，我们采用图形神经网络（GNN）来准确估计过程变化和设备衰老对电路中任何路径延迟的影响。我们提出的GNN4REL框架使设计师能够执行快速准确的可靠性估计，而无需访问晶体管模型，标准细胞库甚至STA；这些组件均通过铸造厂的训练纳入GNN模型中。具体而言，对GNN4REL进行了针对工业14NM测量数据进行校准的FinFET技术模型的培训。通过我们对EPFL和ITC-99基准以及RISC-V处理器进行的广泛实验，我们成功估计了所有路径的延迟降级（尤其是在几秒钟内），平均绝对误差降至0.01个百分点。

The ability to estimate epistemic uncertainty is often crucial when deploying machine learning in the real world, but modern methods often produce overconfident, uncalibrated uncertainty predictions. A common approach to quantify epistemic uncertainty, usable across a wide class of prediction models, is to train a model ensemble. In a naive implementation, the ensemble approach has high computational cost and high memory demand. This challenges in particular modern deep learning, where even a single deep network is already demanding in terms of compute and memory, and has given rise to a number of attempts to emulate the model ensemble without actually instantiating separate ensemble members. We introduce FiLM-Ensemble, a deep, implicit ensemble method based on the concept of Feature-wise Linear Modulation (FiLM). That technique was originally developed for multi-task learning, with the aim of decoupling different tasks. We show that the idea can be extended to uncertainty quantification: by modulating the network activations of a single deep network with FiLM, one obtains a model ensemble with high diversity, and consequently well-calibrated estimates of epistemic uncertainty, with low computational overhead in comparison. Empirically, FiLM-Ensemble outperforms other implicit ensemble methods, and it and comes very close to the upper bound of an explicit ensemble of networks (sometimes even beating it), at a fraction of the memory cost.

最近的作品表明，卷积神经网络（CNN）架构具有朝向较低频率的光谱偏压，这已经针对在之前（DIP）框架中的深度图像中的各种图像恢复任务而被利用。归纳偏置的益处网络施加在DIP框架中取决于架构。因此，研究人员研究了如何自动化搜索来确定最佳性能的模型。然而，常见的神经结构搜索（NAS）技术是资源和时间密集的。此外，最佳性能的模型是针对整个图像的整个数据集而不是为每个图像独立地确定，这将是非常昂贵的。在这项工作中，我们首先表明DIP框架中的最佳神经结构是依赖于图像的。然后利用这种洞察力，我们提出了一种特定于DIP框架的图像特定的NAS策略，其需要比典型的NAS方法大得多，有效地实现特定于图像的NA。对于给定的图像，噪声被馈送到大量未训练的CNN，并且它们的输出的功率谱密度（PSD）与使用各种度量的损坏图像进行比较。基于此，选择并培训了一个小型的图像特定架构，以重建损坏的图像。在这种队列中，选择重建最接近重建图像的平均值的模型作为最终模型。我们向拟议的战略证明（1）证明其在NAS数据集上的表现效果，该数据集包括来自特定搜索空间（2）的500多种模型，在特定的搜索空间（2）上进行了广泛的图像去噪，染色和超级分辨率任务。我们的实验表明，图像特定度量可以将搜索空间减少到小型模型队列，其中最佳模型优于电流NAS用于图像恢复的方法。

北卡罗来纳州农业和技术国家大学（NC A＆T）与格鲁吉亚科技研究所（GTRI）合作开发了创建基于仿真的技术工具的方法，该工具能够推断自主系统的感知和行为状态。这些方法有可能在国防部（国防部）提供测试和评估（T＆E）社区，并对这些系统的内部流程更加了解。该方法仅使用外部观察，不需要完全了解所测试系统的内部处理和/或任何修改。本文介绍了一个这样的基于模拟的技术工具的示例，名为Data-Driven智能预测工具（DIPT）。 DIPT是开发用于测试能够进行协作搜索任务的多平台无人驾驶车辆（UAV）系统。 Dipt的图形用户界面（GUI）使测试人员能够查看飞机的当前运行状态，预测其当前的目标检测状态，并提供了展示特定行为的推理以及为其分配特定任务的说明。
