By Aamy Kuldip (view PDF version) I. Introduction Human trafficking is a horrific crime that involves stealing one’s freedom for profit. [1] Victims of human trafficking may be tricked or forced into providing commercial sex or illegal labor, and are often left extremely traumatized. [2] Online communication platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Craigslist, enable human trafficking ...

The good news is you don’t have to be a mathematical genius to understand and effectively use Kalman filters. This tutorial is designed to provide developers of graphical systems with a basic understanding of this important mathematical tool.

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 ...

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 ...

1 Abstract Minecraft has been the focus of much AI research in past years. Most recently, interest has risen in procedural generation of settlements in Minecraft, largely due to a annual competition established in 2018 called the Generative Design in Minecraft Competition. Inspired by this recent research, we aim to develop a set of algorithms that are capable of building a realistic ...

The use of online registration forms is becoming increas-ingly common. In 2008, Rock the Vote alone had 2.6 million individuals fill out and download registration forms (Rock the Vote 2009) and roughly 76 percent of the people down-loading the forms were registered to vote on Election Day. Whether the logistical benefits of online registration out-weigh the costs is an important question. This ...

NARS (Non-Axiomatic Reasoning System) is an AGI system designed in the framework of a reasoning (or inference) system, where the notion of “reasoning” is used in its broad sense to include many cognitive functions, including learning and perception (Wang, 1995, 2006, 2013). Perception, usually taken to mean sensory understanding, is highly relevant to AI. Perception and cognition are ...

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—Most intrusion detection systems (IDS) are vul-nerable to novel attacks and struggle to maintain a balance between high accuracy and a low false positive rate. Furthermore, the relevant features of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks in conventional networks may not necessarily apply to the Software-defined network (SDN) environment. Additionally, weak feature selection ...

I'm honored to be a recipient of the 2024 Award for Outstanding Teaching Assistant. As someone who owes so much to my own mentors for their support and inspiration, I try to follow their example when teaching. From medicine to field studies to laboratory science, biology is a broad enough field that every student can find something to be passionate about, and I delight in helping them find it.
