Multiattribute Auctions Based on Generalized Additive Independence

description: We develop multiattribute auctions that accommodate generalized additive independent (GAI) preferences. We propose an iterative auction mechanism that maintains prices on potentially overlapping GAI clusters of attributes, thus decreases elicitation and computational burden, and creates an open competition among suppliers over a multidimensional domain. Most significantly, the auction is guaranteed to achieve surplus which approximates optimal welfare up to a small additive factor, under reasonable equilibrium strategies of traders. The main departure of GAI auctions from previous literature is to accommodate non-additive trader preferences, hence allowing traders to condition their evaluation of specific attributes on the value of other attributes. At the same time, the GAI structure supports a compact representation of prices, enabling a tractable auction process. We perform a simulation study, demonstrating and quantifying the significant efficiency advantage of more expressive preference modeling. We draw random GAI-structured utility functions with various internal structures, generate additive functions that approximate the GAI utility, and compare the performance of the auctions using the two representations. We find that allowing traders to express existing dependencies among attributes improves the economic efficiency of multiattribute auctions.
A class of fast exact Bayesian filters in dynamical models with jumps

description: In this paper, we focus on the statistical filtering problem in dynamical models with jumps. When a particular application relies on physical properties which are modeled by linear and Gaussian probability density functions with jumps, an usualmethod consists in approximating the optimal Bayesian estimate (in the sense of the Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE)) in a linear and Gaussian Jump Markov State Space System (JMSS). Practical solutions include algorithms based on numerical approximations or based on Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods. In this paper, we propose a class of alternative methods which consists in building statistical models which share the same physical properties of interest but in which the computation of the optimal MMSE estimate can be done at a computational cost which is linear in the number of observations.

description: In top-down multi-level design methodologies, design descriptions at higher levels of abstraction are incrementally refined to the final realizations. Simulation based techniques have traditionally been used to verify that such model refinements do not change the design functionality. Unfortunately, with computer simulations it is not possible to completely check that a design transformation is correct in a reasonable amount of time, as the number of test patterns required to do so increase exponentially with the number of system state variables. In this paper, we propose a methodology for the verification of conformance of models generated at higher levels of abstraction in the design process to the design specifications. We model the system behavior using sequence of recurrence equations. We then use symbolic simulation together with equivalence checking and property checking techniques for design verification. Using our proposed method, we have verified the equivalence of three WiMax system models at different levels of design abstraction, and the correctness of various system properties on those models. Our symbolic modeling and verification experiments show that the proposed verification methodology provides performance advantage over its numerical counterpart.

Resource-Driven Mission-Phasing Techniques for Constrained Agents in Stochastic Environments

description: Because an agents resources dictate what actions it can possibly take, it should plan which resources it holds over time carefully, considering its inherent limitations (such as power or payload restrictions), the competing needs of other agents for the same resources, and the stochastic nature of the environment. Such agents can, in general, achieve more of their objectives if they can use --- and even create --- opportunities to change which resources they hold at various times. Driven by resource constraints, the agents could break their overall missions into an optimal series of phases, optimally reconfiguring their resources at each phase, and optimally using their assigned resources in each phase, given their knowledge of the stochastic environment. In this paper, we formally define and analyze this constrained, sequential optimization problem in both the single-agent and multi-agent contexts. We present a family of mixed integer linear programming (MILP) formulations of this problem that can optimally create phases (when phases are not predefined) accounting for costs and limitations in phase creation. Because our formulations multaneously also find the optimal allocations of resources at each phase and the optimal policies for using the allocated resources at each phase, they exploit structure across these coupled problems. This allows them to find solutions significantly faster(orders of magnitude faster in larger problems) than alternative solution techniques, as we demonstrate empirically.

description: The movement of a purely elastic interface driven on a disordered energy potential is characterized by a depinning transition: when the pulling force S is larger than some critical value S_1 the system is in a flowing regime and moves at a finite velocity. If S < S_1 the interface remains pinned and its velocity is zero. We show that for a one-dimensional interface, the inclusion of viscoelastic relaxation produces the appearance of an intervening regime between the pinned and the flowing phases in a well defined stress interval S_0 S_0 the creep velocity vanishes in an universal way that is governed by a directed percolation process. As S --> S_1 the creep velocity increases as a power law due to the increase of the typical size of the avalanches. The present observations may serve to improve the understanding of fatigue failure mechanisms.

description: The pivotal role software now plays within most large research projects is beyond refute, yet the individuals writing the software are often overlooked. In March 2012, at Queen's College London, a small group met to discuss this lack of recognition and what could be done to rectify the situation. The historical outcome of that meeting was the birth of the Research Software Engineering (RSE) movement. In this talk, I will unpack the origin story of the RSE movement and its astounding growth over the past decade. Institutional and regional RSE groups across the UK provide valuable cross-discipline communities for like-minded developers, and many have become hubs for providing bespoke, industry-level software development to academics who previously would not have had access to such services. Host institutions benefit from the training given by members of RSE groups, teaching academics basic software and data manipulation skills and mentoring them in software best practices such as reproducibility, reusability and sustainability, helping improve productivity and the quality and reach of their research. Looking closer to home, I will also discuss how we can all benefit from investing in RSE-NI, Northern Ireland's fledgling regional RSE group.

However, prior BDD based techniques in- cur the significant overhead of constructing and manipulating graphs during search. We present a set-constraint solver which combines BDD-based set-bounds propagators with the learning abilities of a modern SAT solver. Together with a number of improvements beyond the basic algorithm, this solver is highly competitive with existing propagation based set constraint solvers.

Year: 2014

description: Domain-specific features are important in representing problem structure throughout machine learning and decision-theoretic planning. In planning, once state features are provided, domain-independent algorithms such as approximate value iteration can learn weighted combinations of those features that often perform well as heuristic estimates of state value (e.g., distance to the goal). Successful applications in real-world domains often require features crafted by human experts. Here, we propose automatic processes for learning useful domain-specific feature sets with little or no human intervention. Our methods select and add features that describe state-space regions of high inconsistency in the Bellman equation (statewise Bellman error) during approximate value iteration. Our method can be applied using any real-valued-feature hypothesis space and corresponding learning method for selecting features from training sets of state-value pairs. We evaluate the method with hypothesis spaces defined by both relational and propositional feature languages, using nine probabilistic planning domains. We show that approximate value iteration using a relational feature space performs at the state-of-the-art in domain-independent stochastic relational planning. Our method provides the first domain-independent approach that plays Tetris successfully (without human-engineered features).

description: Graphyne-4 sheet exhibits promising potential for nanoscale desalination to achieve both high water permeability and salt rejection rate. Extensive molecular dynamics simulations on pore-size effects suggest that graphyne-4, with 4 acetylene bonds between two adjacent phenyl rings, has the best performance with 100% salt rejection and an unprecedented water permeability, to our knowledge, of ~13L/cm2/day/MPa, about 10 times higher than the state-of-the-art nanoporous graphene reported previously (Nano Lett.s 2012, 12, 3602-3608). In addition, the membrane entails very low energy consumption for producing 1m3 of fresh water, i.e., 3.6e-3 kWh/m3, three orders of magnitude less than the prevailing commercial membranes based on reverse osmosis. Water flow rate across the graphyne-4 sheet exhibits intriguing nonlinear dependence on the pore size owing to the quantized nature of water flow at the nanoscale. Such novel transport behavior has important implications to the design of highly effective and efficient desalination membranes.

description: Turbulence governed by the Navier-Stokes equations shows a tendency to evolve towards a state in which the nonlinearity is diminished. In fully developed turbulence this tendency can be measured by comparing the variance of the nonlinear term to the variance of the same quantity measured in a Gaussian field with the same energy distribution. In order to study this phenomenon at high Reynolds numbers, a version of the Direct Interaction Approximation is used to obtain a closed expression for the statistical average of the mean-square nonlinearity. The wavenumber spectrum of the mean-square nonlinear term is evaluated and its scaling in the inertial range is investigated as a function of the Reynolds number. Its scaling is dominated by the sweeping by the energetic scales, but this sweeping is weaker than predicted by a random sweeping estimate. At inertial range scales, the depletion of nonlinearity as a function of the wavenumber is observed to be constant. At large it is observed that the mean-square nonlinearity is larger than its Gaussian estimate, which is shown to be related to the non-Gaussianity of the Reynolds-stress fluctuations at these scales.

A signature that represents an effective tool to strengthen institutional collaboration between the members of the alliance and constitutes an important step towards the goal of the European University. The EEIG will make it possible to experiment with new ways of transnational cooperation to facilitate transnational academic collaboration at European level, in line with the European Commission's strategies in the field of higher education. The main objective is to support the functioning of the alliance on the institutional missions of the university, serving an audience of over 165,000 students and more than 15,000 teaching and technical-administrative staff. The EEIG will offer students excellent training and research staff strengthened and transdisciplinary partnerships capable of promoting innovation in the territories concerned and with a European dimension. At the same time, UNITA is preparing the candidacy for the second phase of the European Universities Initative project, which provides for an additional 6 years of funding of the initiative and expansion to 12 partner universities, with the aim of making the participating universities more competitive and attractive.
 The present report contains the statutes of the UNITA Universitas Montium European Economic Interest Group in the original italian version. The UNITA EEIG was registered at the local Chamber of Commerce on 25 January 2023.

description: The NA62 experiment at the CERN SPS aims to measure the branching ratio of the rare decay $K^+\toπ^+ν\barν$ with a relative precision of $\sim10%$. To achieve that goal, it is designed to be exposed to $1.2\times 10^{13}$ $K^+$ decays in its fiducial volume. The unprecedented $K^+$ flux will lead to record sensitivities to rare and forbidden decays of $K^+$ and $π^0$, including those that violate lepton flavour or lepton number conservation. The expected NA62 performances for lepton flavour conservation and lepton universality tests are discussed. Relevant on-going or recently completed measurements from the $K^\pm$ decay data sets collected by earlier kaon experiments at CERN (NA48/2 and NA62-$R_K$) are also presented.

description: Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the four major food crops of the world, next to other crops i.e. rice, wheat and maize. It is an important crop and it can supplement the food needs of the country in a substantial way as it produces more dry-matter food, has well balanced protein and produces more calories from unit area of land and time than other major food crops. The problem of malnutrition and under nutrition can be largely solved if potato is accepted as a major food and not merely as a vegetable in our country. It is a nutritious food containing practically all the essential dietary constituents. Like cereals, carbohydrates are the major constituents of potato. Besides, it contains essential nutrients such as proteins and minerals like calcium, phosphorus and iron, and vitamins (B1, B2, B6 and C). Ability of potato to produce highest nutrition and dry matter on per unit area and time basis, among major food crops made FAO to declare it the crop to address future global food security and poverty alleviation during 2008.

description: We propose a StochAstic Fault diagnosis AlgoRIthm, called SAFARI, which trades off guarantees of computing minimal diagnoses for computational efficiency. We empirically demonstrate, using the 74XXX and ISCAS-85 suites of benchmark combinatorial circuits, that SAFARI achieves several orders-of-magnitude speedup over two well-known deterministic algorithms, CDA* and HA*, for multiple-fault diagnoses; further, SAFARI can compute a range of multiple-fault diagnoses that CDA* and HA* cannot. We also prove that SAFARI is optimal for a range of propositional fault models, such as the widely-used weak-fault models (models with ignorance of abnormal behavior). We discuss the optimality of SAFARI in a class of strong-fault circuit models with stuck-at failure modes. By modeling the algorithm itself as a Markov chain, we provide exact bounds on the minimality of the diagnosis computed. SAFARI also displays strong anytime behavior, and will return a diagnosis after any non-trivial inference time.

description: The utilization and demand of self-medication with herbomineral-based formulations have increased day-by-day across the globe over the last decade. A new proprietary herbomineral formulation was prepared with the mixture of minerals (zinc, magnesium, and selenium) and the herbal root extract of ashwagandha. The current study was undertaken to evaluate the Biofield Energy Healing (The Trivedi Effect®) on the test herbomineral formulation using murine dendritic cells (DCs) and splenocytes in vitro. The formulation was divided into two parts, one part was control without any Biofield Energy Treatment, while the other part was defined as the Biofield Energy Treated sample, which received the Biofield Energy Healing Treatment remotely from eighteen renowned Biofield Energy Healers. The effect of the Biofield Energy Treated formulation in murine cells was monitored with an estimation of pro-inflammatory cytokines levels such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α) and interleukin (IL-1β) in cell culture supernatants along with estimations of non-cytotoxic concentrations of the test formulation by MTT assay. The Biofield Treated formulation showed 114.2%, 122.6%, 141.2%, 127.8%, and 114.1% cell viability at concentrations 1.05, 5.2, 10.5, 25.6, and 51.2 µg/mL, respectively in DCs. Similarly, the Biofield Energy Treated and untreated formulations showed more than 100% cell viability in mice splenocytes at 5 µg/mL. The level of TNF-α in DCs was significantly (p≤0.05) inhibited by 19.21% in the Biofield Treated formulation at concentration 5.2 µg/mL as compared to the untreated test formulation. The level of MIP-1α in LPS induced mice splenocyte cells was reduced by 15.35% in the Biofield Energy Treated formulation at 0.0105 µg/mL as compared to the untreated formulation. Similarly, the level of IL-1β in LPS induced mice splenocyte cells was significantly (p≤0.05) reduced by 31.59% in the Biofield Treated formulation at 1.05 µg/mL as compared to the untreated formulation. Altogether, the results suggest that The Trivedi Effect® (Biofield Energy Healing Treatment) showed significant down-regulation of the tested pro-inflammatory cytokines expression and potentiated the immunosuppressive effect of the treated formulation to modulate the immune system. These data also suggest that the Biofield Treated test formulation can be used for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, stress management and anti-aging by improving overall health.

description: We comment on the paper by Van Gorder ["Motion of a helical vortex filament in superfluid ${}^4$He under the extrinsic form of the local induction approximation", Phys. Fluids 25, 085101 (2013)]. We point out that the flow of the normal fluid component parallel to the vortex will often lead into the Donnelly-Glaberson instability, which will cause the amplification of the Kelvin wave. We explain why the comparison to local nonlinear equation is unreasonable, and remark that neglecting the motion in the $x$-direction is not reasonable for a Kelvin wave with an arbitrary wave length and amplitude. The correct equations in the general case are also derived.

description: The Monge-Kantorovich problem is revisited by means of a variant of the saddle-point method without appealing to $c$-conjugates. A new abstract characterization of the optimal plans is obtained in the case where the cost function takes infinite values. It leads us to new explicit sufficient and necessary optimality conditions. As by-products, we obtain a new proof of the well-known Kantorovich dual equality and an improvement of the convergence of the minimizing sequences.

Nevertheless, the combination of nominals, inverse roles, and number restrictions in OWL 1 and OWL 2 DL causes unsolvable problems for the techniques hitherto available. We tackle this problem and present a decidability result for entailment of unions of conjunctive queries in the DL ALCHOIQb that contains all three problematic constructors simultaneously. Provided that queries contain only simple roles, our result also shows decidability of entailment of (unions of) conjunctive queries in the logic that underpins OWL 1 DL and we believe that the presented results will pave the way for further progress towards conjunctive query entailment decision procedures for the Description Logics underlying the OWL standards.

syllabus

description: This deliverable contains a list of syllabi which portray the extent and specialization of the intercomprehension trainings organized within the UNITA project and which may be used as guidelines for IC courses which could be implemented by any university of the UNITA alliance.
 The scientific literature overview and outputs produced during the first period of the project were used to establish a starting point from which UNITA began to build new syllabi, best practices and new action-research, making a solid contribution to the theoretical and practical development of pluri/multilingual education and multilingualism in general.
 All syllabi were compiled under the guidance of UNITO to facilitate alignment among partners on knowledge of IC resources and skills. After this phase, IC teaching was consolidated and partners became more aware of existing practices and tools. After sharing basic references and mapping of previous and existing IC projects, WP3 worked on best practices to be shared both internally and externally to UNITA. A UNITA framework and various syllabi for IC teaching courses aimed at different target audiences were discussed and implemented.
 Starting initially with the creation of a syllabus for the training of Erasmus students, the WP3 group then focused on a syllabus for the training of non-linguistic University Lecturers and then another for the training of administrative staff of UNITA partner universities. The Erasmus course was organized entirely online, allowing interaction between students from different institutions. Courses for faculty and staff were developed in a hybrid mode, with a presential part, at each institution, and an online part in interaction with colleagues from other universities, aimed at practicing interaction and communication in IC between speakers of related languages.
 Other syllabi completed the training offer aimed at the acquisition of fundamental skills and knowledge for an aware multilingual communication: a syllabus for an online IC training for intercomprehension trainers, a syllabus for a COIL project aimed at students in intercomprehension courses, and a syllabus for a Blended intensive program (BIP) project.

description: Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides recently emerge as a new family of two-dimensional material potentially suitable for numerous applications in electronic and optoelectronic devices due to the presence of finite band gap. Many proposed applications require efficient transport of charge carriers within these semiconducting monolayers. However, how to construct a stable conducting nanoroad on these atomically thin semiconductors is still a challenge. Here we demonstrate that hydrogenation on the surface of MoS2 monolayer induces a semiconductor-metal transition, and strip-patterned hydrogenation is able to generate a conducting nanoroad. The band-gap closing arises from the formation of in-gap hybridized states mainly consisting of Mo 4d orbitals, as well as the electron donation from hydrogen to the lattice host. Ballistic conductance calculations reveal that such a nanoroad on the MoS2 surface exhibits an integer conductance, indicating small carrier scattering, and thus is ideal for serving as a conducting channel or interconnect without compromising the mechanical and structural integrity of the monolayer.

description: Model-based diagnostic reasoning often leads to a large number of diagnostic hypotheses. The set of diagnoses can be reduced by taking into account extra observations (passive monitoring), measuring additional variables (probing) or executing additional tests (sequential diagnosis/test sequencing). In this paper we combine the above approaches with techniques from Automated Test Pattern Generation (ATPG) and Model-Based Diagnosis (MBD) into a framework called FRACTAL (FRamework for ACtive Testing ALgorithms). Apart from the inputs and outputs that connect a system to its environment, in active testing we consider additional input variables to which a sequence of test vectors can be supplied. We address the computationally hard problem of computing optimal control assignments (as defined in FRACTAL) in terms of a greedy approximation algorithm called FRACTAL-G. We compare the decrease in the number of remaining minimal cardinality diagnoses of FRACTAL-G to that of two more FRACTAL algorithms: FRACTAL-ATPG and FRACTAL-P. FRACTAL-ATPG is based on ATPG and sequential diagnosis while FRACTAL-P is based on probing and, although not an active testing algorithm, provides a baseline for comparing the lower bound on the number of reachable diagnoses for the FRACTAL algorithms. We empirically evaluate the trade-offs of the three FRACTAL algorithms by performing extensive experimentation on the ISCAS85/74XXX benchmark of combinational circuits.

Dynamic Traitor Tracing Schemes, Revisited

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Cryptography and Security (cs.CR)

description: We revisit recent results from the area of collusion-resistant traitor tracing, and show how they can be combined and improved to obtain more efficient dynamic traitor tracing schemes. In particular, we show how the dynamic Tardos scheme of Laarhoven et al. can be combined with the optimized score functions of Oosterwijk et al. to trace coalitions much faster. If the attack strategy is known, in many cases the order of the code length goes down from quadratic to linear in the number of colluders, while if the attack is not known, we show how the interleaving defense may be used to catch all colluders about twice as fast as in the dynamic Tardos scheme. Some of these results also apply to the static traitor tracing setting where the attack strategy is known in advance, and to group testing.

title: The synthesis, structures and physical properties of fluoride and oxalate based magnetic coordination polymers
Creators: name: Li, Teng
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2023

description: This thesis describes the crystal structures and physical properties of three types of organic-inorganic hybrid coordination polymers (CPs): organic-inorganic hybrid fluoride layered perovskites, oxalate fluoride CPs and metal(III)-fluoride compounds. Most of the compounds presented here were synthesised through hydrothermal and solvothermal reactions, except two metal(III)-fluoride compounds which were synthesised by a layered solution method. For the organic-inorganic hybrid layered perovskites, seven compounds are reported. The crystal structures are revealed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The magnetic properties of some have also been characterised by SQUID magnetometry, and the results show the metal centres in all the compounds display antiferromagnetic interactions at high temperature. For the compounds (enH₂)MnF₄ (1) and (enH₂)CoF₄ (2), variable temperature crystal structure analysis has been carried by the powder synchrotron X-ray diffraction and powder neutron diffraction. The results of Rietveld refinements show no phase transition was observed for both compounds. The magnetic structure of 2 has also been determined from the neutron data, in which the interactions of Co remain antiferromagnetic, with the magnetic moment (Mx0, My0, Mz0) = (3.53, 0, 0.53) at 20 K. In addition, the crystal structures of two derived compounds are also presented in this section. For the oxalate fluoride compounds, nine crystal structures are also characterised by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The compounds are in the form of 1D or 2D magnetic structures which are constructed by the metal centres and versatile coordination modes of the oxalate ligands. Magnetic characterisations show nearly all the compounds display antiferromagnetic interactions at high temperature, which are all well fitted by the 1D Heisenberg model. The majority of the seven metal(III)-fluoride compounds contain monomeric units. However, two unusual layered structures, which may form part of a homologous series, have been discovered, and there are some relationships between the syntheses and structures which can be applied in more targeted work in the future.
