This paper studies the scheduling of sensor transmissions to estimate the states of multiple remote, dynamic processes. Information from the different sensors has to be transmitted to a central gateway over a wireless network for monitoring purposes, where typically fewer wireless channels are available than there are processes to be monitored. For effective estimation at the gateway, the sensors need to be scheduled appropriately, i.e., at each time instant one needs to decide which sensors have network access and which ones do not. To address this scheduling problem, we formulate an associated Markov decision process (MDP). This MDP is then solved using a Deep Q-Network, a recent deep reinforcement learning algorithm that is at once scalable and model-free. We compare our scheduling algorithm to popular scheduling algorithms such as round-robin and reduced-waiting-time, among others.

These particular benchmarks are not only used for the evaluation of novel tools but also in continuous integration pipelines of existing mature tools to maintain and guarantee a certain quality-level.

Achieving hardware security in today’s globalized Integrated Cir- cuit(IC) supply chain is a challenging task. One solution that is widely considered to help achieve secure hardware designs is Information Flow Tracking(IFT). It provides an ap- proach to verify that the systems adhere to security properties either by static verification during design phase or dynamic checking during runtime. Proof-Carrying Hardware(PCH) is an approach to verify a functional design prior to using it in hardware. It is a two-party verification approach, where the target party, the consumer requests new functionalities with pre-defined properties to the producer. In response, the producer designs the IP (Intellectual Property) cores with the requested functionalities that adhere to the consumer-defined properties. The producer provides the IP cores and a proof certificate combined into a proof-carrying bitstream to the consumer to verify it. If the verification is successful, the consumer can use the IP cores in his hardware. In essence, the consumer can only run verified IP cores. Correctly applied, PCH techniques can help consumers to defend against many unintentional modifications and malicious alterations of the modules they receive. There are numerous published examples of how to use PCH to detect any change in the functionality of a circuit, i.e., pairing a PCH approach with functional equivalence checking for combinational or sequential circuits. For non-functional properties, since opening new covert channels to leak secret information from secure circuits is a viable attack vector for hardware trojans, i.e., intentionally added malicious circuitry, IFT technique is employed to make sure that secret/untrusted information never reaches any unclassified/trusted outputs. This master thesis aims to explore the possibility of adapting Information Flow Tracking into a Proof-Carrying Hardware scenario.

Over the last years, many popular RDF knowledge graphs have grown so large that rankings for the facts they contain cannot be computed directly using the currently common 64-bit platforms. In this paper, we tackle two problems: Computing ranks on such large knowledge bases efficiently and incrementally. First, we present D-HARE, a distributed approach for computing ranks on very large knowledge graphs. D-HARE assumes the random surfer model and relies on data partitioning to compute matrix multiplications and transpositions on disk for matrices of arbitrary size. Moreover, the data partitioning underlying D-HARE allows the execution of most of its steps in parallel. As very large knowledge graphs are often updated periodically, we tackle the incremental computation of ranks on large knowledge bases as a second problem. We address this problem by presenting I-HARE, an approximation technique for calculating the overall ranking scores of a knowledge without the need to recalculate the ranking from scratch at each new revision. We evaluate our approaches by calculating ranks on the 3 × 10^9 and 2.4 × 10^9 triples from Wikidata resp. LinkedGeoData. Our evaluation demonstrates that D-HARE is the first holistic approach for computing ranks on very large RDF knowledge graphs. In addition, our incremental approach achieves a root mean squared error of less than 10E−7 in the best case.

When analyzing the associations with other country characteristics, we identify different correlation patterns. For example, tax framework complexity is negatively associated with countries’ governance, suggesting that strongly governed countries tend to have less complex tax frameworks, while tax code complexity is positively associated with the statutory tax rate, indicating that high tax countries tend to have more complex tax codes.

In this paper, we present a unifying view on what we call multi-target prediction (MTP) problems and methods. First, we formally discuss commonalities and differences between existing MTP problems. To this end, we introduce a general framework that covers the above subfields as special cases. As a second contribution, we provide a structured overview of MTP methods. This is accomplished by identifying a number of key properties, which distinguish such methods and determine their suitability for different types of problems. Finally, we also discuss a few challenges for future research.}}, author = {{Waegeman, Willem and Dembczynski, Krzysztof and Hüllermeier, Eyke}}, issn = {{1573-756X}}, journal = {{Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery}}, number = {{2}}, pages = {{293--324}}, title = {{{Multi-target prediction: a unifying view on problems and methods}}}, doi = {{10.1007/s10618-018-0595-5}}, volume = {{33}}, year = {{2019}}, } @inproceedings{15003, author = {{Mortier, Thomas and Wydmuch, Marek and Dembczynski, Krzysztof and Hüllermeier, Eyke and Waegeman, Willem}}, booktitle = {{Proceedings of the 31st Benelux Conference on Artificial Intelligence {(BNAIC} 2019) and the 28th Belgian Dutch Conference on Machine Learning (Benelearn 2019), Brussels, Belgium, November 6-8, 2019}}, title = {{{Set-Valued Prediction in Multi-Class Classification}}}, year = {{2019}}, } @inbook{15004, author = {{Ahmadi Fahandar, Mohsen and Hüllermeier, Eyke}}, booktitle = {{Discovery Science}}, isbn = {{9783030337773}}, issn = {{0302-9743}}, title = {{{Feature Selection for Analogy-Based Learning to Rank}}}, doi = {{10.1007/978-3-030-33778-0_22}}, year = {{2019}}, } @inbook{15005, author = {{Ahmadi Fahandar, Mohsen and Hüllermeier, Eyke}}, booktitle = {{KI 2019: Advances in Artificial Intelligence}}, isbn = {{9783030301781}}, issn = {{0302-9743}}, title = {{{Analogy-Based Preference Learning with Kernels}}}, doi = {{10.1007/978-3-030-30179-8_3}}, year = {{2019}}, } @inbook{15006, author = {{Nguyen, Vu-Linh and Destercke, Sébastien and Hüllermeier, Eyke}}, booktitle = {{Discovery Science}}, isbn = {{9783030337773}}, issn = {{0302-9743}}, title = {{{Epistemic Uncertainty Sampling}}}, doi = {{10.1007/978-3-030-33778-0_7}}, year = {{2019}}, } @inproceedings{15007, author = {{Melnikov, Vitaly and Hüllermeier, Eyke}}, booktitle = {{Proceedings ACML, Asian Conference on Machine Learning (Proceedings of Machine Learning Research, 101)}}, title = {{{Learning to Aggregate: Tackling the Aggregation/Disaggregation Problem for OWA}}}, doi = {{10.1016/j.jmva.2019.02.017}}, year = {{2019}}, } @inproceedings{15009, author = {{Epple, Nico and Dari, Simone and Drees, Ludwig and Protschky, Valentin and Riener, Andreas}}, booktitle = {{2019 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV)}}, isbn = {{9781728105604}}, title = {{{Influence of Cruise Control on Driver Guidance - a Comparison between System Generations and Countries}}}, doi = {{10.1109/ivs.2019.8814100}}, year = {{2019}}, }
