Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

Entanglement generation and swapping is a difficult process due to probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics. To overcome this issue, existing quantum routing algorithms try to create entanglement on multiple paths between source and destination. Although it is possible to save entangled qubits on unused links using quantum memories, the quantum routing algorithms discard them and try creating new entanglement in each time slot. In this work, we leverage the longevity of entanglement and introduce two enhancements to improve the performance of existing routing algorithms: (i) The generation and caching of entanglements across multiple time slots, and (ii) the proactively executing …

FPGAs are widely deployed on high-energy astrophysics telescopes to preprocess and reduce sensor data read out by front-end electronics. Across instruments, these computational pipelines have similar semantics, sharing common stages such as pedestal subtraction, signal integration, zero-suppression, island detection, and centroiding. However, diverse telescope designs require unique implementations of these algorithms, and the logic is often rewritten from scratch for a new instrument. As an alternative, High-Level Synthesis (HLS) tools enable these algorithms to be implemented in a high-level language, which eases modifications and enables fast prototyping and deployment.

A Stackelberg routing platform (SRP) reduces congestion in one-shot traffic networks by proposing optimal route recommendations to the selfish travelers. Traditionally, Stackel-berg routing is cast as a partial control problem where a fraction of the traveler flow complies with route recommendations, while the remaining responds as selfish travelers. In this paper, we formulate a novel Stackelberg routing framework where the agents exhibit probabilistic compliance by accepting SRP's route recommendations with a trust probability. Specifically, we propose a greedy Trust-Aware Stackelberg Routing algorithm (in short, TASR) for SRP to compute unique path recommendations to each traveler flow with a unique demand. …

Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) attackers encapsulate malicious traffic in a DNS connection to elude security mechanisms such as Intrusion Detection System (IDS). Although different techniques have been implemented to detect these targeted attacks, their rise induces a threat to Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). The DNS over HTTPS (DoH) tunnel detection is a challenge because the encrypted data prevents an analysis of DNS traffic content. In this paper, we present a novel detection system that identifies …

Geo-Distributed Machine Learning (GDML) aims to train large-scale machine learning models across geographically dispersed datacenters. However, the performance of GDML systems is constrained by the limited Wide Area Network (WAN) bandwidth and the presence of the straggler problem. Existing GDML designs often show contradictory effects in addressing these challenges, while in-network computing attempts are typically restricted to single datacenter environments rather than the more complex GDML scenarios. To overcome these limitations, this paper proposes L3DML to facilitate GDML using the P4-based Software-defined Network (SDN). Our approach incorporates three key innovations. Firstly, we introduce a novel network addressing scheme that enables …

Interlude: Interactions Between Labeled And Unlabeled Data To Enhance Semi-Supervised Learning, Zhe Huang, Xiaowei Yu, Dajiang Zhu, Michael C. Hughes

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

Semi-supervised learning (SSL) seeks to enhance task performance by training on both labeled and unlabeled data. Mainstream SSL image classification methods mostly optimize a loss that additively combines a supervised classification objective with a regularization term derived solely from unlabeled data. This formulation often neglects the potential for interaction between labeled and unlabeled images. In this paper, we introduce InterLUDE, a new approach to enhance SSL made of two parts that each benefit from labeled-unlabeled interaction. The first part, embedding fusion, interpolates between labeled and unlabeled embeddings to improve representation learning. The second part is a new loss, grounded in …

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

Multi-modality learning, exemplified by the language-image pair pre-trained CLIP model, has demonstrated remarkable performance in enhancing zero-shot capabilities and has gained significant attention recently. However, simply applying language-image pre-trained CLIP to medical image analysis encounters substantial domain shifts, resulting in severe performance degradation due to inherent disparities between natural (non-medical) and medical image characteristics. To address this challenge and uphold or even enhance CLIP's zero-shot capability in medical image analysis, we develop a novel approach, Core-Periphery feature alignment for CLIP (CP-CLIP), to model medical images and corresponding clinical text jointly. To achieve this, we design an auxiliary neural network whose …

Recently, a novel cortical folding pattern known as the 3-hinge gyrus (3HG) has been identified. 3HGs are defined as the convergence of the gyri coming from three distinct directions on gyral crests. In contrast to cortical regions, 3HGs are defined at a finer scale and they widely exist across different individuals, representing both commonalities and individualities of cortical folding patterns. It is important to note that 3HGs are identified in individual spaces, lacking natural cross-subject correspondences. To address this issue, we have developed a learning-based method to encode anatomical features of 3HGs into a set of embedding vectors that can …

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) execute compute intensive control operations like adjusting speed and steering, causing significant energy dissipation and latency due to resource limited onboard units (OBUs). Offloading these tasks to Roadside Units (RSUs) is a solution, but it faces challenges. First, the stringent latency requirements are impacted by the vehicle's stochastic velocity. Second, allocating limited RSU resources to numerous vehicles within its coverage area is difficult. This paper proposes the MIME framework to address these issues. We use Discrete Fourier transform (DFT) that computes the average velocity over an aperiodic velocity signal extracted from a real-world dataset. for resource allocation, …

Software-Defined Vehicular Networks (SDVNs) revolutionize modern transportation by enabling dynamic and adaptable communication infrastructures. However, accurately capturing the dynamic communication patterns in vehicular networks, characterized by intricate spatio-temporal dynamics, remains a challenge with traditional graph-Based models. Hypergraphs, due to their ability to represent multi-way relationships, provide a more nuanced representation of these dynamics. Building on this hypergraph foundation, we introduce a novel hypergraph-Based routing algorithm. We jointly train a model that incorporates Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Gated Recurrent Units (GRU) using a Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) approach. This model carefully extracts spatial and temporal traffic matrices, capturing elements …
