Cybercriminals are moving towards zero-day attacks affecting resource-constrained devices such as single-board computers (SBC). Assuming that perfect security is unrealistic, Moving Target Defense (MTD) is a promising approach to mitigate attacks by dynamically altering target attack surfaces. Still, selecting suitable MTD techniques for zero-day attacks is an open challenge. Reinforcement Learning (RL) could be an effective approach to optimize the MTD selection through trial and error, but the literature fails when i) evaluating the performance of RL and MTD solutions in real-world scenarios, ii) studying whether behavioral fingerprinting is suitable for representing SBC's states, and iii) calculating the consumption of resources in SBC. To improve these limitations, the work at hand proposes an online RL-based framework to learn the correct MTD mechanisms mitigating heterogeneous zero-day attacks in SBC. The framework considers behavioral fingerprinting to represent SBCs' states and RL to learn MTD techniques that mitigate each malicious state. It has been deployed on a real IoT crowdsensing scenario with a Raspberry Pi acting as a spectrum sensor. More in detail, the Raspberry Pi has been infected with different samples of command and control malware, rootkits, and ransomware to later select between four existing MTD techniques. A set of experiments demonstrated the suitability of the framework to learn proper MTD techniques mitigating all attacks (except a harmfulness rootkit) while consuming <1 MB of storage and utilizing <55% CPU and <80% RAM.

People are not very good at detecting lies, which may explain why they refrain from accusing others of lying, given the social costs attached to false accusations - both for the accuser and the accused. Here we consider how this social balance might be disrupted by the availability of lie-detection algorithms powered by Artificial Intelligence. Will people elect to use lie detection algorithms that perform better than humans, and if so, will they show less restraint in their accusations? We built a machine learning classifier whose accuracy (67\%) was significantly better than human accuracy (50\%) in a lie-detection task and conducted an incentivized lie-detection experiment in which we measured participants' propensity to use the algorithm, as well as the impact of that use on accusation rates. We find that the few people (33\%) who elect to use the algorithm drastically increase their accusation rates (from 25\% in the baseline condition up to 86% when the algorithm flags a statement as a lie). They make more false accusations (18pp increase), but at the same time, the probability of a lie remaining undetected is much lower in this group (36pp decrease). We consider individual motivations for using lie detection algorithms and the social implications of these algorithms.

Artificial life is a research field studying what processes and properties define life, based on a multidisciplinary approach spanning the physical, natural and computational sciences. Artificial life aims to foster a comprehensive study of life beyond "life as we know it" and towards "life as it could be", with theoretical, synthetic and empirical models of the fundamental properties of living systems. While still a relatively young field, artificial life has flourished as an environment for researchers with different backgrounds, welcoming ideas and contributions from a wide range of subjects. Hybrid Life is an attempt to bring attention to some of the most recent developments within the artificial life community, rooted in more traditional artificial life studies but looking at new challenges emerging from interactions with other fields. In particular, Hybrid Life focuses on three complementary themes: 1) theories of systems and agents, 2) hybrid augmentation, with augmented architectures combining living and artificial systems, and 3) hybrid interactions among artificial and biological systems. After discussing some of the major sources of inspiration for these themes, we will focus on an overview of the works that appeared in Hybrid Life special sessions, hosted by the annual Artificial Life Conference between 2018 and 2022.

Mechanistic cardiac electrophysiology models allow for personalized simulations of the electrical activity in the heart and the ensuing electrocardiogram (ECG) on the body surface. As such, synthetic signals possess known ground truth labels of the underlying disease and can be employed for validation of machine learning ECG analysis tools in addition to clinical signals. Recently, synthetic ECGs were used to enrich sparse clinical data or even replace them completely during training leading to improved performance on real-world clinical test data. We thus generated a novel synthetic database comprising a total of 16,900 12 lead ECGs based on electrophysiological simulations equally distributed into healthy control and 7 pathology classes. The pathological case of myocardial infraction had 6 sub-classes. A comparison of extracted features between the virtual cohort and a publicly available clinical ECG database demonstrated that the synthetic signals represent clinical ECGs for healthy and pathological subpopulations with high fidelity. The ECG database is split into training, validation, and test folds for development and objective assessment of novel machine learning algorithms.

Purpose: Traffic volume in empty container depots has been highly volatile due to external factors. Forecasting the expected container truck traffic along with having a dynamic module to foresee the future workload plays a critical role in improving the work efficiency. This paper studies the relevant literature and designs a forecasting model addressing the aforementioned issues. Methodology: The paper develops a forecasting model to predict hourly work and traffic volume of container trucks in an empty container depot using a Bayesian Neural Network based model. Furthermore, the paper experiments with datasets with different characteristics to assess the model's forecasting range for various data sources. Findings: The real data of an empty container depot is utilized to develop a forecasting model and to later verify the capabilities of the model. The findings show the performance validity of the model and provide the groundwork to build an effective traffic and workload planning system for the empty container depot in question. Originality: This paper proposes a Bayesian deep learning-based forecasting model for traffic and workload of an empty container depot using real-world data. This designed and implemented forecasting model offers a solution with which every actor in the container truck transportation benefits from the optimized workload.

心室心动过速（VT）可能是全世界425万人心脏死亡的原因之一。治疗方法是导管消融，以使异常触发区域失活。为了促进和加快消融过程中的定位，我们提出了基于卷积神经网络（CNN）的两种新型定位技术。与现有方法相反，例如使用ECG成像，我们的方法被设计为独立于患者特异性的几何形状，直接适用于表面ECG信号，同时还提供了二元透射位置。一种方法输出排名的替代解决方案。可以在通用或患者的几何形状上可视化结果。对CNN进行了仅包含模拟数据的数据集培训，并在模拟和临床测试数据上进行了评估。在模拟数据上，中值测试误差低于3mm。临床数据上的中位定位误差低至32mm。在所有临床病例中，多达82％的透壁位置被正确检测到。使用排名的替代溶液，在临床数据上，前3个中值误差下降到20mm。这些结果证明了原理证明使用CNN来定位激活源，而无需固有的患者特定的几何信息。此外，提供多种解决方案可以帮助医生在多个可能的位置中找到实际激活源。通过进一步的优化，这些方法具有加快临床干预措施的高潜力。因此，他们可以降低程序风险并改善VT患者的结局。

这项工作介绍了用于户外机器人技术的视觉跨视图定位。给定一个地面颜色图像和包含本地周围环境的卫星贴片，任务是确定地面摄像头在卫星贴片中的位置。相关工作解决了用于射程传感器（LIDAR，RADAR）的此任务，但对于视觉，仅作为初始跨视图图像检索步骤之后的次要回归步骤。由于还可以通过任何粗糙的本地化（例如，从GPS/GNSS，时间过滤）检索局部卫星贴片，因此我们删除图像检索目标并仅关注度量定位。我们设计了一种具有密集的卫星描述符的新型网络体系结构，在瓶颈处与相似性匹配（而不是图像检索中的输出）以及一个密集的空间分布作为输出，以捕获多模式的定位歧义。我们将使用全局图像描述符的最新回归基线进行比较。关于最近提出的活力和牛津机器人数据集的定量和定性实验结果验证了我们的设计。产生的概率与定位精度相关，甚至可以在未知的方向时大致估计地面摄像头的标题。总体而言，与最先进的面积相比，我们的方法将中值度量定位误差降低了51％，37％和28％，而在同一区域，整个区域和整个时间之间分别概括。

缺陷增加了建筑项目的成本和持续时间。自动缺陷检测将减少文档工作，这是降低延迟建筑项目的缺陷风险所必需的。由于混凝土是一种广泛使用的建筑材料，因此这项工作着重于检测蜂窝，这是混凝土结构的实质缺陷，甚至可能影响结构完整性。首先，比较图像是从网络上刮下来或从实际实践中获得的。结果表明，Web图像仅代表蜂窝的选择，并且不会捕获完整的差异。其次，对MASK R-CNN和EFIDENENET-B0进行了培训，用于评估实例分割和基于斑块的分类，分别达到47.7％的精度和34.2％的召回率以及68.5％的精度和55.7％的召回率。尽管这些模型的性能不足以完全自动化缺陷检测，但这些模型可用于积极学习中，集成到缺陷文档系统中。总之，CNN可以帮助检测混凝土中的蜂窝。

在这项工作中，我们提出了一种具有里程碑意义的检索方法，该方法利用了全球和本地功能。暹罗网络用于全球功能提取和度量学习，该网络对具有里程碑意义的搜索进行了初步排名。我们利用暹罗体系结构的提取特征图作为本地描述符，然后使用本地描述符之间的余弦相似性进一步完善搜索结果。我们对Google Landmark数据集进行了更深入的分析，该数据集用于评估，并增加数据集以处理各种类内差异。此外，我们进行了几项实验，以比较转移学习和度量学习的影响以及使用其他局部描述符的实验。我们表明，使用本地功能的重新排列可以改善搜索结果。我们认为，使用余弦相似性的拟议的本地特征提取是一种简单的方法，可以扩展到许多其他检索任务。
