Although the intention of RDF is to provide an open, minimally constraining way for representing information, there exists an increasing number of applications for which guarantees on the structure and values of an RDF data set become…

Machine Learning (ML) solutions are nowadays distributed, according to the so-called server/worker architecture. One server holds the model parameters while several workers train the model. Clearly, such architecture is prone to various…

We address a fundamental problem in Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks, namely, constructing and maintaining dynamic P2P overlay network topologies with essential properties such as connectivity, low diameter, and high expansion, that are…

Federated learning has arisen as a mechanism to allow multiple participants to collaboratively train a model without sharing their data. In these settings, participants (workers) may not trust each other fully; for instance, a set of…

Automated program synthesis lowers the cost of producing implementations but introduces a harder governance problem: determining which generated artifacts are admissible. Natural-language specifications are ambiguous, and example-based…

This paper introduces a differential dynamic programming (DDP) based framework for polynomial trajectory generation for differentially flat systems. In particular, instead of using a linear equation with increasing size to represent…

Data engineering pipelines are essential - albeit costly - components of predictive analytics frameworks requiring significant engineering time and domain expertise for carrying out tasks such as data ingestion, preprocessing, feature…

Albeit the recent progress in single image 3D human pose estimation due to the convolutional neural network, it is still challenging to handle real scenarios such as highly occluded scenes. In this paper, we propose to address the problem…

This paper addresses the cooperative Multi-Vehicle Dynamic Pickup and Delivery Problem with Stochastic Requests (MVDPDPSR) and proposes an end-to-end centralized decision-making framework based on sequence-to-sequence, named Multi-Agent…

This paper studies distributed online learning under Byzantine attacks. The performance of an online learning algorithm is often characterized by (adversarial) regret, which evaluates the quality of one-step-ahead decision-making when an…

Replicated data types (RDTs) are data structures that permit concurrent modification of multiple, potentially geo-distributed, replicas without coordination between them. RDTs are designed in such a way that conflicting operations are…

We consider a distributed reinforcement learning setting where multiple agents separately explore the environment and communicate their experiences through a central server. However, $\alpha$-fraction of agents are adversarial and can…

We extend the study of retrieval problems in distributed networks, focusing on improving the efficiency and resilience of protocols in the \emph{Data Retrieval (DR) Model}. The DR Model consists of a complete network (i.e., a clique) with…

We investigate self-similar solutions of the extended discrete KP hierarchy. It is shown that corresponding ansatzes lead to purely discrete equations with dependence on some number of parameters together with equations governing…

Dialog state tracking (DST) is a crucial component in a task-oriented dialog system for conversational information access. A common practice in current dialog systems is to define the dialog state by a set of slot-value pairs. Such…

Recent research in decision theoretic planning has focussed on making the solution of Markov decision processes (MDPs) more feasible. We develop a family of algorithms for structured reachability analysis of MDPs that are suitable when an…

Commutative Replicated Data-Type (CRDT) is a new class of algorithms that ensures scalable consistency of replicated data. It has been successfully applied to collaborative editing of texts without complex concurrency control. In this…

While programmers know that the low-level memory representation of data structures can have significant effects on performance, compiler support to optimize the layout of those structures is an under-explored field. Prior work has optimized…

Extended dynamic mode decomposition (EDMD) is a popular data-driven method to predict the action of the Koopman operator, i.e., the evolution of an observable function along the flow of a dynamical system. In this paper, we leverage a…

Embedding undirected graphs in a Euclidean space has many computational benefits. FastMap is an efficient embedding algorithm that facilitates a geometric interpretation of problems posed on undirected graphs. However, Euclidean distances…
