Large-scale datacenters often experience memory failures, where Uncorrectable Errors (UEs) highlight critical malfunction in Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs). Existing approaches primarily utilize Correctable Errors (CEs) to predict UEs,…
We address the problem of predicting whether sufficient memory and CPU resources have been requested for jobs at submission time. For this purpose, we examine the task of training a supervised machine learning system to predict the outcome…
As the primary cause of software defects, human error is the key to understanding, and perhaps to predicting and avoiding them. Little research has been done to predict defects on the basis of the cognitive errors that cause them. This…
Due to the recent increase in interest in Financial Technology (FinTech), applications like credit default prediction (CDP) are gaining significant industrial and academic attention. In this regard, CDP plays a crucial role in assessing the…
Data centers (DCs) nowadays house tens of thousands of servers and switches, interconnected by high-speed communication links. With the rapid growth of cloud DCs, in both size and number, tremendous efforts have been undertaken to…
The primary focus of autonomous driving research is to improve driving accuracy. While great progress has been made, state-of-the-art algorithms still fail at times. Such failures may have catastrophic consequences. It therefore is…
Continuous availability of HPC systems built from commodity components have become a primary concern as system size grows to thousands of processors. In this paper, we present the analysis of 8-24 months of real failure data collected from…
Due to the unprecedented success of deep learning, it has become an integral component in several multimedia computing applications in todays world. Unfortunately, deep learning systems are not perfect and can fail, sometimes abruptly,…
Academics and practitioners have studied over the years models for predicting firms bankruptcy, using statistical and machine-learning approaches. An earlier sign that a company has financial difficulties and may eventually bankrupt is…
Extreme-scale scientific applications can be more vulnerable to soft errors (transient faults) as high-performance computing systems increase in scale. The common practice to evaluate the resilience to faults of an application is random…
Using a comprehensive sample of 2,585 bankruptcies from 1990 to 2019, we benchmark the performance of various machine learning models in predicting financial distress of publicly traded U.S. firms. We find that gradient boosted trees…
Software defect prediction using code metrics has been extensively researched over the past five decades. However, prediction harnessing non-software metrics is under-researched. Considering that the root cause of software defects is often…
Floods are one of nature's most catastrophic calamities which cause irreversible and immense damage to human life, agriculture, infrastructure and socio-economic system. Several studies on flood catastrophe management and flood forecasting…
In bankruptcy prediction, the proportion of events is very low, which is often oversampled to eliminate this bias. In this paper, we study the influence of the event rate on discrimination abilities of bankruptcy prediction models. First…
Power device reliability is a major concern during operation under extreme environments, as doing so reduces the operational lifetime of any power system or sensing infrastructure. Due to a potential for system failure, devices must be…
Data-Driven Predictive Control (DDPC) has been recently proposed as an effective alternative to traditional Model Predictive Control (MPC), in that the same constrained optimization problem can be addressed without the need to explicitly…
There have been extensive efforts in government, academia, and industry to anticipate, forecast, and mitigate cyber attacks. A common approach is time-series forecasting of cyber attacks based on data from network telescopes, honeypots, and…
I/O efficiency is crucial to productivity in scientific computing, but the increasing complexity of the system and the applications makes it difficult for practitioners to understand and optimize I/O behavior at scale. Data-driven machine…
Understanding why students stopout will help in understanding how students learn in MOOCs. In this report, part of a 3 unit compendium, we describe how we build accurate predictive models of MOOC student stopout. We document a scalable,…
It is shown that, in a precise sense, if there is no bound on the number of faulty processes in a system with unreliable but fair communication, Uniform Distributed Coordination (UDC) can be attained if and only if a system has perfect…
