Real-Time Telemetry Systems for Multidimensional Streaming Data: A Case Study on Video Viewership Analytics
Creators: name: Manousis, Antonios

Applied Computer Science

description: Large-scale infrastructures across various domains (e.g., Internet services, sensor farms, operations monitoring etc.) produce ever-increasing amounts of streaming data. As these data streams contain invaluable operational insights, operators invest heavily on telemetry frameworks to extract these insights and use them towards ensuring their infrastructure’s reliability and growth. In this dissertation, we focus on telemetry for streaming video infrastructures. In particular, this work is motivated by a previously unexplored aspect of video telemetry, namely viewership analytics. That is, detecting and diagnosing video viewership anomalies, simultaneously, across multiple subpopulations of viewers. This dissertation aims at enhancing video operators’ toolbox with novel telemetry capabilities for viewership analytics. Nevertheless, designing telemetry workflows for viewership analytics proves challenging on multiple fronts. First, increases in volume and dimensionality of incoming data streams result in a combinatorial explosion of data subpopulations to monitor and, as a result, in prohibitive cost and resource overheads for operators. Second, the contextual and non stationary nature of viewership complicates the detection and diagnosis of viewership anomalies. Last, the need to simultaneously monitor ever-increasing numbers of subpopulations of viewers complicates extracting the few critical, and often highly localized, events of interest needed to provide actionable insights to operators. Our work addresses these challenges through the design and implementation of a suite of practical tools for video viewership analytics. First, we introduce Hydra, a novel sketch-based analytics framework for efficient and general analytics over multidimensional data streams. We show that HYDRA offers robust accuracy guarantees at one tenth (or less) of the operational cost of exact analytics frameworks and does so with query latencies that are up to 20× lower than existing alternatives. In Proteas, our second contribution, we leverage key structural insights of viewership in order to enable accurate detection and insightful diagnosis of viewership anomalies. We show that our approach ensures low numbers of false positives and outperforms the closest state-of-the-art alternatives. Last, we illustrate how these insights can be combined in the design of an end-to-end telemetry framework. Through extensive analysis driven by real-world datasets, we demonstrate that our findings can yield substantial cost and resource benefits over existing solutions. Additionally, we discuss their potential applicability in different domains, in addition to video.

description: Friction between ordered, atomically smooth surfaces at the nanoscale (nanofriction) is often governed by stick-slip processes. To test long-standing atomistic models of such processes, we implement a synthetic nanofriction interface between a laser-cooled Coulomb crystal of individually addressable ions as the moving object, and a periodic light-field potential as the substrate. We show that stick-slip friction can be tuned from maximal to nearly frictionless via arrangement of the ions relative to the substrate. By varying the ion number, we also show that this strong dependence of friction on the structural mismatch, as predicted by many-particle models, already emerges at the level of two or three atoms. This model system enables a microscopic and systematic investigation of friction, potentially even into the quantum many-body regime.

description: During gastric digestion, bovine milk forms a curd, which consists largely of proteins and lipids. However, it is unknown how processing-induced changes to curd structure affects the gastric emptying of milk proteins and lipids. This study aimed to determine the impact of heat treatment and homogenization on gastric curd formation, and gastric emptying of dry matter (DM), proteins and lipids from bovine milk fed to pigs as a human model. Growing pigs (n = 180, mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM) bodyweight 22.4 ± 0.13 kg) consumed raw, or pasteurized non-homogenized (PNH), or pasteurized homogenized (PH), or ultra-high temperature treated homogenized (UHT) milk diets. A protein-lipid-free lactose (PLFL) solution was also fed as a test diet. At 0, 20, 60, 120, 180 and 300 min postprandially the entire gastrointestinal tract was dissected out. The gastric chyme (curd and liquid) fractions were collected after separation using a mesh screen. The DM, protein, and lipid contents of these fractions were quantified. Confocal, transmission electron microscopy, cryo-scanning electron microscopy and rheological analyses were conducted to determine the micro- and macrostructure of the curd. Overall, both heat treatment and homogenization influenced the in vivo gastric curd structure formed of bovine milk, although to different extents. The gastric emptying of DM, proteins, and lipids increased with the extent of processing. Gastric emptying rates of DM and proteins followed the pattern UHT > PH > PNH = raw, while emptying rates of lipid also differed between PNH and raw milk. Curd structure was the main gastric parameter affected in PNH milk.

description: Several groups have analyzed the publicly-available Fermi-LAT data and reported a spatially extended $γ-$ray excess of around $1-3$ GeV from the region surrounding the Galactic Center that might originate from annihilation of dark matter particles with a rest mass $m_χ\sim 30-40$ GeV. In this work we examine the role of the diffuse Galactic gamma ray emission (DGE) templates played in suppressing the GeV excess. For such a purpose, we adopt in total 128 background templates that have been generated by Ackermann et al. \cite{FermiLAT:2012aa} in the study of the {Fermi-LAT} observations of the diffuse gamma ray emission considering the effects of cosmic rays and the interstellar medium. The possible GeV excess, assumed to follow the spatial distribution of the prompt gamma-rays produced in the annihilation of dark matter particles taking a generalized NFW profile with an inner slope $α=1.2$, has been analyzed in some regions of interest. The introduction of such an additional component centered at the Galactic center is found to have improved the goodness of fit to the data significantly in all background template models regardless of whether the excess spectrum is fixed or not. Our results thus suggest that the presence of a statistically significant GeV excess in the inner Galaxy is robust thought its spectrum depends on the DGE model adopted in the analysis. The possible physical origin of the GeV excess component is discussed and in the dark matter model the annihilation cross section of such particles is evaluated.

description: This document will outline the training activities that have been completed since the beginning of the grant, their impact and potential adaptations. The EOSC-Life training programme is built on the training needs analysis, which was presented in D9.1 Final report of analysis of the training needs of different EOSC-Life users in month 12. EOSC-Life training is aimed at two target communities that have distinct needs and different roles towards establishing a European Open Science Cloud (EOSC): (i) the BMS Research Infrastructures (data) staff and (ii) the end-user of the (data) services offered. The deliverable gives an overview on the wide range of training offers completed, which highlight that EOSC-Life managed extremely well to adapt the training to remote offers as a response to the pandemic restrictions and to ensure cross WP involvement. Training in EOSC-Life has been organised in a top-down as well as bottom-up approach, top-down training activities have been organised by the technical work packages in EOSC-Life as well as the training work package, while the Training Open Call process allows for training activities organised by the EOSC-Life community to receive EOSC-Life support. All training activities relate to the needs analysis. Two separate rounds of the Training Open Call have been completed, in total we received 15 applications and 8 proposals received funding. In this document we explain the procedure of the Training Open Call and any modifications that have been made based on the experience of the first two rounds. This deliverable describes what makes a successful training event for EOSC-Life and how Quality and Impact is defined and measured in this context. We outline the process to enable data capture and reporting for training providers, training work-package leads and EOSC-Life leads. In conclusion, the document describes future work along the main strands of EOSC-Life training activities.

description: We propose an iterative method for approximately computing the capacity of discrete memoryless channels, possibly under additional constraints on the input distribution. Based on duality of convex programming, we derive explicit upper and lower bounds for the capacity. The presented method requires $O(M^2 N \sqrt{\log N}/\varepsilon)$ to provide an estimate of the capacity to within $\varepsilon$, where $N$ and $M$ denote the input and output alphabet size; a single iteration has a complexity $O(M N)$. We also show how to approximately compute the capacity of memoryless channels having a bounded continuous input alphabet and a countable output alphabet under some mild assumptions on the decay rate of the channel's tail. It is shown that discrete-time Poisson channels fall into this problem class. As an example, we compute sharp upper and lower bounds for the capacity of a discrete-time Poisson channel with a peak-power input constraint.

description: The anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) provide our best laboratory for testing models of the formation and evolution of large-scale structure. The rich features in the cosmic microwave background anisotropy spectrum, in combination with highly precise observations and theoretical predictions, also allow us to simultaneously constrain a number of cosmological parameters. As observations have progressed, measurements at smaller angular scales have provided increasing leverage. These smaller angular scales provide sensitive measures of the matter density through the effect of gravitational lensing. In this work we provide an analytic explanation of the manner in which the lensing of CMB anisotropies depends on the matter density, finding that the dominant effect comes from the shape of the matter power spectrum set by the decay of small-scale potentials between horizon crossing and matter-radiation equality.

sensitive data
data sharing
categorisation

description: Sharing sensitive data is a specific challenge within EOSC-Life. This deliverable reports on the preliminary results of the design of a toolbox to provide information to researchers who wish to share and/or use sensitive data in a public cloud environment in general, and in e-infrastructures adhering to the European Open Science Cloud in particular. The sensitivity of the data may arise from its personal nature, but can also be caused by intellectual property considerations, biohazard concerns, or compliance with the Nagoya protocol. The toolbox will not be based on newly generated content, instead, it will guide researchers to find existing resources that are relevant for sharing sensitive data across all participating research infrastructures (F in FAIR). The toolbox will provide links to recommendations, procedures, and best practices, as well as to software (tools) to support data sharing and reuse. It will be based upon a tagging (categorisation) system, allowing consistent labelling and categorisation of resources. The toolbox design is steered by a large working group meeting on a monthly basis with participation of a broad range of research infrastructures (the authors of this report). The current deliverable report provides a high-level summary of the results that already have been detailed further in documents published in Zenodo over the previous year, and which are referenced in this report. Finally, the document will also provide an outlook for the next steps towards the actual implementation of the toolbox and, ultimately, its sustainability beyond the EOSC-Life project’s lifetime.
Asymptotic view of oscillations of red giant stars

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: Since the pioneering works by Vandakurov (1967), Shibahashi (1979) and Tossoul (1980), asymptotic analysis has been of fundamental use in the study of stellar oscillations. This is a theoretical framework to understand the physics of the oscillations under the assumption that the wavelength of the constituent waves are much shorter than the scale height of the background structure. The recent detection of solar-like oscillations in red giant stars provides another case for the application of the framework. In this presentation, it is described how the asymptotic analysis can be extended to the case of the red giant oscillations in order to understand their unique characteristics and the internal structure of the stars. The analysis turns out to be useful to extract detailed information from the complicated frequency spectra, which have been obtained by the recent space missions.

description: It is tempting to think of history at the level of an event: A led to B, which led to C. But events are shaped by multiple forces. People amass themselves into groups, form social and economic institutions, and take the actions which comprise historical events. As social workers and street-level bureaucrats, we are uniquely positioned within these historical events. We do our jobs at the interface between the institutions charged with policy development and those tasked with policy implementation. As social workers, therefore, we are actors playing a role in implementing change and shaping history. We would do well, then, to study this history more carefully to better understand the development of current events and our role in them. Studying history can better equip us to disrupt systems of oppression before they permanently affect people’s lives.

Condivido nelle sue linee essenziali la proposta ermeneutica di guardare al messianismo oltre le sue radici ebraiche in una prospettiva universalistica. In questo assunto metodico è ravvisabile la possibilità di innescare nuovi processi di "universalizzazione", ponendo in dialogo tra loro le molteplici forme della relazionalità con l'Altro, secondo la fondamentale lezione che proviene in primo luogo da Emmanuel Lévinas.

description: We present a high-precision mass model of galaxy cluster Abell 2744, based on a strong-gravitational-lensing analysis of the \emph{Hubble Space Telescope Frontier Fields} (HFF) imaging data, which now include both \emph{Advanced Camera for Surveys} and \emph{Wide-Field Camera 3} observations to the final depth. Taking advantage of the unprecedented depth of the visible and near-infrared data, we identify 34 new multiply imaged galaxies, bringing the total to 61, comprising 181 individual lensed images. In the process, we correct previous erroneous identifications and positions of multiple systems in the northern part of the cluster core. With the \textsc{Lenstool} software and the new sets of multiple images, we model the cluster using two cluster-scale dark matter halos plus galaxy-scale halos for the cluster members. Our best-fit model predicts image positions with an \emph{RMS} error of 0.69$\arcsec$, which constitutes an improvement by almost a factor of two over previous parametric models of this cluster. We measure the total projected mass inside a 200~kpc aperture as ($2.162\pm 0.005$)$\times 10^{14}M_{\odot}$, thus reaching 1\% level precision for the second time, following the recent HFF measurement of MACSJ0416.1-2403. Importantly, the higher quality of the mass model translates into an overall improvement by a factor of 4 of the derived magnification factor. % for the high-redshift lensed background galaxies. Together with our previous HFF gravitational lensing analysis, this work demonstrates that the HFF data enables high-precision mass measurements for massive galaxy clusters and the derivation of robust magnification maps to probe the early Universe.

description: We investigate the low temperature phases of lattice spin systems with interactions of Kac type, that is interactions that are weak but long range in such a way that the total interaction of one spin with all the others is of order unity. In particular we develop a systematic approach to convergent low temperature expansions in situations where interactions are weak but long range. This leads to a reformulation of the model in in terms of a generalized abstract Pirogov-Sinai model, that is a representation in terms of contours interacting through cluster fields. The main point of our approach is that all quantities in the contour representation satisfy estimates that are uniform in the range of the interaction and depend only on the overall interaction strength. The extension of the Pirogov-Sinai theory to such models developed in [Z3] allows then the investigation of the low-temperature phase diagram of these models.

description: We discuss a new type of QCD phenomenon induced in curved space. In the QCD vacuum, a mass-gap of Dirac fermions is attributed to the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry. If the curvature is positive large, the chiral condensate melts but a chiral invariant mass-gap can still remain, which we name the chiral gap effect in curved space. This leads to decoupling of quark deconfinement which implies a view of black holes surrounded by a first-order QCD phase transition.

description: In this paper, we focus on susceptible-infected-susceptible dynamics on metapopulation networks, where nodes represent subpopulations, and where agents diffuse and interact. Recent studies suggest that heterogeneous network structure between elements plays an important role in determining the threshold of infection rate at the onset of epidemics, a fundamental quantity governing the epidemic dynamics. We consider the general case in which the infection rate at each node depends on its population size, as shown in recent empirical observations. We first prove that a sufficient condition for the endemic threshold (i.e., its upper bound), previously derived based on a mean-field approximation of network structure, also holds true for arbitrary networks. We also derive an improved condition showing that networks with the rich-club property (i.e., high connectivity between nodes with a large number of links) are more prone to disease spreading. The dependency of infection rate on population size introduces a considerable difference between this upper bound and estimates based on mean-field approximations, even when degree-degree correlations are considered. We verify the theoretical results with numerical simulations.

description: We study the Hopfield model with pure 푝-spin interactions with even 푝 ≥ 4, and a number of patterns, M(N) growing with the system size, N, as M(N) = αN푝-1. We prove the existence of a critical temperature β푝 characterized as the first time quenched and annealed free energy differ. We prove that as 푝 ↑ ∞, β푝 → √α2ln2. Moreover, we show that for any α > 0 and for all inverse temperatures β, the free energy converges to that of the REM at inverse temperature β / √α. Moreover, above the critical temperature the distribution of the replica overlap is concentrated at zero. We show that for large enough α, there exists a non-empty interval of in the low temperature regime where the distribution has mass both near zero and near ±1. As was first shown by M. Talagrand in the case of the 푝-spin SK model, this implies the the Gibbs measure at low temperatures is concentrated, asymptotically for large N, on a countable union of disjoint sets, no finite subset of which has full mass. Finally, we show that there is α푝 ∼ 1 / 푝! such that for α > α푝 the set carrying almost all mass does not contain the original patterns. In this sense we describe a genuine spin glass transition. Our approach follows that of Talagrand's analysis of the 푝-spin SK-model. The more complex structure of the random interactions necessitates, however, considerable technical modifications. In particular, various results that follow easily in the Gaussian case from integration by parts formulas have to be derived by expansion techniques.

description: Quantum paradoxes show that quantum statistics can exceed the limits of positive joint probabilities for physical properties that cannot be measured jointly. It is therefore impossible to describe the relations between the different physical properties of a quantum system by assigning joint realities to their observable values. Instead, recent experimental results obtained by weak measurements suggest that non-classical correlations could be expressed by complex valued quasi-probabilities, where the phases of the complex probabilities express the action of transformations between the non-commuting properties (H. F. Hofmann, New J. Phys. 13, 103009 (2011)). In these relations, negative probabilities necessarily emerge whenever the physical properties involved are related to each other by half-periodic transformations, since such transformations are characterized by action phases of Pi in their complex probabilities. It is therefore possible to trace the failure of realist assumptions back to a fundamental and universally valid relation between statistics and dynamics that associates half-periodic transformations with negative probabilities.

description: The asymptotic behavior of semi-invariants of the random variable ln ｜X(t, 푥)｜, where X(t,푥) is a solution of a linear system of stochastic differential equations, is connected with the moment Lyapunov exponent g(푝). Namely, it is obtained that the 푛-th semi-invariant is asymptotically proportional to the time 헍 with the coefficient of proportionallity g(n)(0). The proof is based on the concept of analytic characteristic functions. It is also shown that the asymptotic behavior of the analytic characteristic function of ln ｜X(t, 푥)｜ in a neighbourhood of the origin on the complex plane is controlled by the extension g(푖퓏) of g(푝).

description: We study the entanglement evolution of a quantum optical vortex state propagating through coupled lossless waveguides. We consider states generated by coupling two squeezed modes using a sequence of beam splitters and also by subtracting photons from the signal in spontaneous parametric down conversion. We reconstruct the Wigner function at a later time to study the correlation and quantify the entanglement after propagation using \emph{logarithmic negativity}.

title: Spunti per una teoria della religione diffusa mediante valori

description: Ogni persona che viene al mondo trova già ad attendenrlo una miriade di opzioni religiose, stabilizzate da lungo tempo, nei diversi contesti territoriali e culturali. Questa loro pre-esistenza è in larga misura anche la loro forza, consistente in un patrimonio che viene trasmesso da una generazione ad un'altra, quasi senza soluzione di continuità. Con il passare dei secoli e dei millenni, si registrano certamente indebolimenti e rafforzamenti, dovuti a contingenze particolari, ma è ben difficile che una religione, sufficientemente istituzionalizzata, possa all'improvviso perdere di consistenza e di attrattività. Persone e organizzazioni, credenze e riti, valori e simboli, tradizioni e acquisizioni sono in grado di resistere ai cambiamenti più drastici e di adattarsi a quelli di minore incidenza. Grazie a tutto questo, lungo il corso della storia, nelle varie società del nord come del sud, dell'occidente come dell'oriente, si vengono a consolidare i tratti salienti di un profilo religioso che rimane, nel suo insieme, come punto di riferimento, più o meno primario, per milioni di individui od anche per gruppi umani più ristretti.

description: In this paper we apply the idea of Higgs branch localization to 5d supersymmetric theories of vector multiplet and hypermultiplets, obtained as the rigid limit of $\mathcal{N} = 1$ supergravity with all auxiliary fields. On supersymmetric K-contact/Sasakian background, the Higgs branch BPS equations can be interpreted as 5d generalizations of the Seiberg-Witten equations. We discuss the properties and local behavior of the solutions near closed Reeb orbits. For $U(1)$ gauge theories, we show the suppression of the deformed Coulomb branch, and the partition function is dominated by 5d Seiberg-Witten solutions at large $ζ$-limit. For squashed $S^5$ and $Y^{pq}$ manifolds, we show the matching between poles in the perturbative Coulomb branch matrix model, and the bound on local winding numbers of the BPS solutions.

title: Riflessioni davanti allo schermo. Immagine cinematografica e fenomenologia della percezione
Creators: name: Feyles , Martino
Publisher: name: Roma Tre-Press
Year: 2009

description: Nel contributo si prendono in considerazione tre aspetti della fenomenologia husserliana che vengono messi alla prova in un'analisi dell'immagine cinematografica. Si svilupperà l'idea che la riflessione sull'immagine cinematografica rivela in modo plateale alcuni aspetti essenziali del percepire. Il principio fondamentale dell'immagine cinematografica – la percezione illusoria del movimento – ha una rilevanza eccezionale per una teoria della percezione come quella husserliana. Il contributo esaminerà poi il film di Georges Méliès Le voyage dans la lune per mostrare come il cinema possa esplorare proprio quelle condizioni del percepire che l'analisi husserliana descrive minutamente. Infine, verranno formulate alcune considerazioni sulla possibilità che ha il cinema di contribuire alla ridefinizione delle condizioni empiriche del percepire.

description: Hybrid architectures, consisting of conventional and topological qubits, have recently attracted much attention due to their capability in consolidating the robustness of topological qubits and the universality of conventional qubits. However, these two kinds of qubits are normally constructed in significantly different energy scales, and thus this energy mismatch is a major obstacle for their coupling that supports the exchange of quantum information between them. Here, we propose a microwave photonic quantum bus for a direct strong coupling between the topological and conventional qubits, in which the energy mismatch is compensated by the external driving field via the fractional ac Josephson effect. In the framework of tight-binding simulation and perturbation theory, we show that the energy splitting of the topological qubits in a finite length nanowire is still robust against local perturbations, which is ensured not only by topology, but also by the particle-hole symmetry. Therefore, the present scheme realizes a robust interface between the flying and topological qubits. Finally, we demonstrate that this quantum bus can also be used to generate multipartitie entangled states with the topological qubits.

description: We perform magnetohydrodynamic simulations in full general relativity (GRMHD) of a binary black hole-neutron star on a quasicircular orbit that undergoes merger. The binary mass ratio is 3:1, the black hole initial spin parameter $a/m=0.75$ ($m$ is the black hole Christodoulou mass) aligned with the orbital angular momentum, and the neutron star is an irrotational $Γ=2$ polytrope. About two orbits prior to merger (at time $t=t_B$), we seed the neutron star with a dynamically weak interior dipole magnetic field that extends into the stellar exterior. At $t=t_B$ the exterior has a low-density atmosphere with constant plasma parameter $β\equiv P_{\rm gas}/P_{\rm mag}$. Varying $β$ at $t_B$ in the exterior from $0.1$ to $0.01$, we find that at a time $\sim 4000{\rm M} \sim 100(M_{\rm NS}/1.4M_\odot)$ms [M is the total (ADM) mass] following the onset of accretion of tidally disrupted debris, magnetic winding above the remnant black hole poles builds up the magnetic field sufficiently to launch a mildly relativistic, collimated outflow - an incipient jet. The duration of the accretion and the lifetime of the jet is $Δt\sim 0.5(M_{\rm NS}/1.4M_\odot)$s. Our simulations furnish the first explicit examples in GRMHD which show that a jet can emerge following a black hole - neutron star merger.

description: Transport historians have made an increasingly strong case for connectivity and mobility in Stuart England even before the introduction of turnpike trusts in the eighteenth century. There has, however, been little explanation of how this was achieved at local level, nor has the broader historiography of government in this period given infrastructure the attention it merits, since the painstaking, but dated, research, of the Webbs. This study explores the diversity of approaches to the administration of highway infrastructure by the townships of Halifax parish in addressing a range of travel and transport needs on foot and horseback in an upland area largely inaccessible to wheeled vehicles. The research is concerned with how townships managed their highways, who the officeholders were, how they negotiated relationships with other agents and institutions, and the implications of a reconceptualisation of the highways function for current debates on state formation. Exploiting excellent manorial and township records, the analysis takes advantage of GIS mapping techniques to re-evaluate the governance of highways, as townships in the parish responded to statutory, political and socio-economic change. A review of the legal framework shows how the Tudor co-option of manorial courts for monitoring statutory compliance resulted in a hybrid system of tenurial liability and communal obligation. Broad-based participation was subject to increasing middling-sort assertiveness, and records from Sowerby township testify to precocious funding of maintenance from the constables’ rates, supervised by a powerful vestry. Economic activities, such as pastoral agriculture, textile manufacturing, mining and quarrying, and the service sector were significant drivers of road management priorities. The research argues that manorial and township institutions deserve more recognition for creative and effective solutions to problems of access and connectivity through presentment routines. Success in managing highways in the parish depended on the participation of better-off landholders both as officeholders and in discharging individual and collective obligations for maintenance and cleansing. The institutions of manor and vestry provided legitimacy to the governance of the highways function, and thereby contributed to the resilience of the seventeenth-century state.

description: The invariant measured foliations of a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism induce a natural (singular) Sol structure on mapping tori of surfaces with pseudo-Anosov monodromy. We show that when the pseudo-Anosov $ϕ:S\rightarrow S$ has orientable foliations and does not have 1 as an eigenvalue of the induced cohomology action on the closed surface, then the Sol structure can be deformed to nearby cone hyperbolic structures, in the sense of projective structures. The cone angles can be chosen to be decreasing from multiples of $2π$.
