Power-grid controller anomaly detection with enhanced temporal deep learning
Controllers of security-critical cyber-physical systems, like the power grid, are a very important class of computer systems. Attacks against the control code of a power-grid system, especially zero-day attacks, can be catastrophic.

Evaluating Visual-Semantic Explanations using a Collaborative Image Guessing Game
Abstract While there have been many proposals on making AI algorithms explainable, few have attempted to evaluate the impact of AI-generated explanations on human performance in conducting human-AI collaborative tasks. To bridge the gap, we propose a Twenty-Questions style collaborative image retrieval game, Explanation-assisted Guess Which (ExAG), as a method of evaluating the efficacy of…

Next-Generation Spray Delivery of Vaccines and Other Therapeutics with High Viscosity Aerosol
While conventional methods for spraying (Spray 1.0) such as pump sprays are largely viscosity-limited and only work for fluids with consistency close to water, the PARC technology called FEA, short for Filament Extension Atomizer (Spray 2.0) can generate narrowly-dispersed micron-sized droplets from fluids with a wide range of viscosities, from water-like (1 mPa-s) to peanut…

How to train your speaker embedding extractor
In this study, we aim to explore some of the fundamental requirements for building a good speaker embeddings extractor. We analyze the impact of voice activity detection, types of degradation, the amount of degraded data, and number of speakers required for a good network.
