Data volumes and rates of research infrastructures will continue to increase in the upcoming years and impact how we interact with their final data products. Little of the processed data can be directly investigated and most of it will be…
This report presents a first sketch of the Service Provider DevOps concept including four major management processes to support the roles of both service and VNF developers as well as the operator in a more agile manner. The sketch is based…
Dataset distillation aims to create a compact dataset that retains essential information while maintaining model performance. Diffusion models (DMs) have shown promise for this task but struggle in low images-per-class (IPC) settings, where…
Although high-performance computing (HPC) systems have been scaled to meet the exponentially-growing demand for scientific computing, HPC performance variability remains a major challenge and has become a critical research topic in computer…
This paper introduces a modeling framework for distributed regression with agents/experts observing attribute-distributed data (heterogeneous data). Under this model, a new algorithm, the iterative covariance optimization algorithm (ICOA),…
Learning methods using synthetic data have attracted attention as an effective approach for increasing the diversity of training data while reducing collection costs, thereby improving the robustness of model discrimination. However, many…
Prototypical examples that best summarizes and compactly represents an underlying complex data distribution communicate meaningful insights to humans in domains where simple explanations are hard to extract. In this paper we present…
Provenance encodes information that connects datasets, their generation workflows, and associated metadata (e.g., who or when executed a query). As such, it is instrumental for a wide range of critical governance applications (e.g.,…
Modern intrusion detection systems (IDS) leverage graph neural networks (GNNs) to detect malicious activity in system provenance data, but their decisions often remain a black box to analysts. This paper presents a comprehensive XAI…
Recording the provenance of scientific computation results is key to the support of traceability, reproducibility and quality assessment of data products. Several data models have been explored to address this need, providing…
In customer support contact centers, every service interaction involves a messaging dialogue between a customer and an agent; together, they exchange information, solve problems, and collectively co-produce the service. Because the service…
Database systems analyze queries to determine upfront which data is needed for answering them and use indexes and other physical design techniques to speed-up access to that data. However, for important classes of queries, e.g., HAVING and…
While queueing network models are powerful tools for analyzing service systems, they traditionally require substantial human effort and domain expertise to construct. To make this modeling approach more scalable and accessible, we propose a…
The proliferation of diffusion models trained on web-scale, provenance-uncertain image collections has made it essential, yet technically unresolved, to determine whether a model has learned from specific copyrighted data without…
In order to make results of computational scientific research findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable, it is necessary to decorate them with standardised metadata. However, there are a number of technical and practical challenges…
Reinforcement learning has enjoyed multiple successes in recent years. However, these successes typically require very large amounts of data before an agent achieves acceptable performance. This paper introduces a novel way of combating…
Machine Learning models are deployed across a wide range of industries, performing a wide range of tasks. Tracking these models and ensuring they behave appropriately is becoming increasingly difficult as the number of deployed models…
Imitation learning is a widely used approach for training agents to replicate expert behavior in complex decision-making tasks. However, existing methods often struggle with compounding errors and limited generalization, due to the inherent…
