Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is a powerful tool used to evaluate displacements and deformations in a non-intrusive manner. By comparing two images, one of the undeformed reference state of a specimen and another of the deformed target…
Recent transfer learning (TL) approaches in industrial intelligent fault diagnosis (FD) mostly follow the "pre-train and fine-tuning" paradigm to address data drift, which emerges from variable working conditions. However, we find that this…
The purpose of this paper is to fill a gap in the general understanding -- and academic scrutiny -- of current and emerging workflows for designing and fabricating integrated circuits. The approach is to compare the IC design workflow with…
In semiconductor manufacturing, early detection of wafer defects is critical for product yield optimization. However, raw wafer data from wafer quality tests are often complex, unlabeled, imbalanced and can contain multiple defects on a…
We present DIO, a generic tool for observing inefficient and erroneous I/O interactions between applications and in-kernel storage systems that lead to performance, dependability, and correctness issues. DIO facilitates the analysis and…

Fault-tolerant distributed algorithms are central for building reliable spatially distributed systems. Unfortunately, the lack of a canonical precise framework for fault-tolerant algorithms is an obstacle for both verification and…
Quantum computing is poised to solve practically useful problems which are computationally intractable for classical supercomputers. However, the current generation of quantum computers are limited by errors that may only partially be…
We introduce 2DIO, a microbenchmark creating cache-accurate, stressful I/O traces. While existing tools are limited to generating traces with well-behaved, concave hit ratio curves, 2DIO produces ones with tunable complex cache behaviors,…
Field-deployable edge computing nodes form a network and are used to complete scientific tasks for remote sensing and monitoring. The networked nodes collectively decide which scientific applications to run while they are constrained by…
Social sensing has emerged as a new sensing paradigm where humans (or devices on their behalf) collectively report measurements about the physical world. This paper focuses on a quality-cost-aware task allocation problem in multi-attribute…
Medical time series data, such as EEG and ECG, are vital for diagnosing neurological and cardiovascular diseases. However, their precise interpretation faces significant challenges due to high annotation costs, leading to data scarcity, and…
Multi-Task Learning (MTL) involves the concurrent training of multiple tasks, offering notable advantages for dense prediction tasks in computer vision. MTL not only reduces training and inference time as opposed to having multiple…
To find the cause of a functional or non-functional defect (bug) in software running on a multi-processor System-on-Chip (MPSoC), developers need insight into the chip. Tracing systems provide this insight non-intrusively, at the cost of…
This paper proposes and studies a detection technique for adversarial scenarios (dubbed deterministic detection). This technique provides an alternative detection methodology in case the usual stochastic methods are not applicable: this can…
In the group-testing literature, efficient algorithms have been developed to minimize the number of tests required to identify all minimal "defective" sub-groups embedded within a larger group, using deterministic group splitting with a…
Analog integrated circuit (IC) floorplanning is typically a manual process with the placement of components (devices and modules) planned by a layout engineer. This process is further complicated by the interdependence of floorplanning and…
Software-hardware co-design is essential for optimizing in-memory computing (IMC) hardware accelerators for neural networks. However, most existing optimization frameworks target a single workload, leading to highly specialized hardware…
A heterogeneous architecture composed by a host and an accelerator must frequently deal with situations where several independent tasks are available to be offloaded onto the accelerator. These tasks can be generated by concurrent…
