Proportional fairness is a popular service allocation mechanism to describe and analyze the performance of data networks at flow level. Recently, several authors have shown that the invariant distribution of such networks admits a product…
Importance sampling is a technique that is commonly used to speed up Monte Carlo simulation of rare events. However, little is known regarding the design of efficient importance sampling algorithms in the context of queueing networks. The…
Accurate distribution grid topology is essential for reliable modern grid operations. However, real-world utility data originates from multiple sources with varying characteristics and levels of quality. In this work, developed in…
Chemical reaction networks (CRNs) are directed graphs with reactant or product complexes as vertices, and reactions as arcs. A CRN is weakly reversible if each of its connected components is strongly connected. Weakly reversible networks…
The reliable operation of a power distribution system relies on a good prior knowledge of its topology and its system state. Although crucial, due to the lack of direct monitoring devices on the switch statuses, the topology information is…
To capture the systemic complexity of international financial systems, network data is an important prerequisite. However, dyadic data is often not available, raising the need for methods that allow for reconstructing networks based on…
We study a dynamical random network model in which at every construction step a new vertex is introduced and attached to every existing vertex independently with a probability proportional to a concave function f of its current degree. We…
Dependency analysis is vital to several applications in computer science. It lies at the essence of secure information flow analysis, binding-time analysis, etc. Various calculi have been proposed in the literature for analysing individual…
Principal component analysis (PCA) is often used for analyzing data in the most diverse areas. In this work, we report an integrated approach to several theoretical and practical aspects of PCA. We start by providing, in an intuitive and…
We propose an algorithm to locate the most critical nodes to network robustness. Such critical nodes may be thought of as those most related to the notion of network centrality. Our proposal relies only on a localized spectral analysis of a…
Fast and reliable transmission network reconfiguration is critical in improving power grid resilience to cyber-attacks. If the network reconfiguration following cyber-attacks is imperfect, secondary incidents may delay or interrupt…
Kronecker adapters have emerged as a promising approach for fine-tuning large-scale models, enabling high-rank updates through tunable component structures. However, existing work largely treats the component structure as a fixed or…
A fundamental question in system design is to decide how much of the design of one component must be known in order to successfully design another component of the system. We study this question in the setting of reactive synthesis, where…
Independence testing plays a central role in statistical and causal inference from observational data. Standard independence tests assume that the data samples are independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) but that assumption is…
Different techniques, used to optimise on-line principal component analysis, are investigated by methods of statistical mechanics. These include local and global optimisation of node-dependent learning-rates which are shown to be very…
Vehicular networks will play an important role in enhancing road safety, improving transportation efficiency, and providing seamless Internet service for users on the road. Reaping the benefit of vehicular networks is contingent upon…
A vast number of multicriteria decision making methods have been developed to deal with the problem of ranking a set of alternatives evaluated in a multicriteria fashion. Very often, these methods assume that the evaluation among criteria…
Most state-of-the-art computer vision models heavily depend on data. However, many datasets exhibit extreme class imbalance which has been shown to negatively impact model performance. Among the training-time and data-generation solutions…
Hierarchy and centrality are two popular notions used to characterize the importance of entities in complex systems. Indeed, many complex systems exhibit a natural hierarchical structure, and centrality is a fundamental characteristic…
