Unless you’re a lawyer or a law student, you might not know what a law clerk does. When I tell people that I’m a law clerk for a federal judge, sometimes they nod, smile, or just change the subject. More often than not, however, they ask, “What does that even mean?” Once I explain, many then ask, “Do you get paid for that?” I do indeed get paid, but the benefits of clerking stretch ...

Abstract—In this paper we examine the problem of conflict detection and mitigation across multiple independently designed IoT subsystems deployed in a shared environment. The desired behavior of the system is codified in terms of predefined “safety properties”. We allow both the operational rules and safety properties to include time and temporal logic operations and detect their ...

1 Introduction Most collision detection algorithms, such as OBBTree [Gottschalk96], sphere hier-archies [Hubbard96] and BV-trees [Klosowski97], try to minimize the number of primitive-primitive intersections that have to be computed. Still, a fast and reliable method for computing the primitive-primitive intersection is desired. Since render-ing hardware is often targeted for triangles, the ...

We generalize the classical Legendre-Hadamard conditions by using quadratic extensions of the energy around a set of two configurations and obtain new algebraic necessary conditions for nonsmooth strong local minimizers. The implied bounds of stability are easily accessible as we illustrate on a nontrivial example where quasiconvexification is unknown.

The savings that tens of thousands of companies have generated from the deployment of this technology is further driving the rapid adoption of virtualized computing from the desktop to the data center. As new vendors enter the space and attempt to differentiate their products, many are creating confusion with their marketing claims and terminology. For example, while hardware assist is a ...

Abstract—Previous state-of-the-art studies have demonstrated that adversaries can access sensitive user data by membership inference attacks (MIAs) in Federated Learning (FL). Intro-ducing differential privacy (DP) into the FL framework is an effective way to enhance the privacy of FL. Nevertheless, in differentially private federated learning (DP-FL), local gradients become excessively ...

The 19 chapters in this section cover a wide range of topics across multiple layers: MAC (part of the data link layer), network, and applications. One chapter is devoted to the cross-layer architecture for ad hoc wireless networks. Several chapters deal with various efficient and scalable routing, including multicasting and geocasting, in ad hoc wireless networks. One chapter discusses routing ...

Probabilities play a central role in modern pattern recognition. We have seen in Chapter 1 that probability theory can be expressed in terms of two simple equations corresponding to the sum rule and the product rule. All of the probabilistic infer-ence and learning manipulations discussed in this book, no matter how complex, amount to repeated application of these two equations. We could ...

“The DNA profile from the crime scene shares the same alleles as the DNA from the accused.” That is a statement of fact or an expert opinion, but whatever it is it is not lay opinion. “I ride bicycles a lot. When the brake pads start to wear down, it’s riskier to ride in the rain.” Now, what is that? Expert or lay opinion? And why do we care? Because to proffer expert opinion ...
