A Dialogue Concerning the Essence and Role of Information in the World System
(MDPI, 2020-08-21)The goal of this paper is to represent two approaches to the phenomenon of information, explicating its nature and essence. In this context, Mark Burgin demonstrates how the general theory of information (GTI) describes ... -
A Framework for Situation-Aware Access Control in Federated Data-as-a-Service Systems Based on Query Rewriting
(UMBC, 2020-10-19)Organizations often need to share mission dependent data in a secure and flexible way. Examples include contact tracing for a contagious disease such as COVID-19, maritime search and rescue operations, or creating a ... -
Role of Spatial Context in Adversarial Robustness for Object Detection
The benefits of utilizing spatial context in fast object detection algorithms have been studied extensively. Detectors increase inference speed by doing a single forward pass per image which means they implicitly use ... -
Universal Litmus Patterns: Revealing Backdoor Attacks in CNNs
The unprecedented success of deep neural networks in many applications has made these networks a prime target for adversarial exploitation. In this paper, we introduce a benchmark technique for detecting backdoor attacks ... -
Impact on frequency combs of nonlinearity including bleaching in p-i-n photodetectors
(IEEE, 2020-08-06)We calculate the impact of nonlinearity in a p-i-n photodetector on an RF-modulated frequency comb taking into account bleaching due to the large peak-to-average power ratio in frequency combs. We characterized RF-modulated ... -
Presentation and Analysis of a Multimodal Dataset for Grounded LanguageLearning
(2020-07-09)Grounded language acquisition -- learning how language-based interactions refer to the world around them -- is amajor area of research in robotics, NLP, and HCI. In practice the data used for learning consists almost ... -
Multi-observable reputation scoring system for flagging suspicious user sessions
(Elsevier, 2020-08-08)Conventionally, network and cloud infrastructure security is handled by firewalls which monitor traffic and block malicious access by matching certain observables, e.g., IP, and DNS, to blacklisted entries in intelligence ... -
Bringing UMAP Closer to the Speed of Light with GPU Acceleration
(2020-08-01)The Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) algorithm has become widely popular for its ease of use, quality of results, and support for exploratory, unsupervised, supervised, and semi-supervised learning. ... -
IVA using complex multivariate GGD: application to fMRI analysis
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG., 2019-10-09)Examples of complex-valued random phenomena in science and engineering are abound, and joint blind source separation (JBSS) provides an effective way to analyze multiset data. Thus there is a need for flexible JBSS algorithms ... -
Joint-IVA for identification of discriminating features in EEG: Application to a driving study
(Elsevier, 2020-08-01)We propose a new method, joint independent vector analysis (jIVA), for obtaining discriminating features, i.e., interpretable signatures from medical data that can be used to study differences between multiple conditions ... -

Cyber Attacks on Smart Farming Infrastructure
(UMBC, 2020-10-15)Smart farming also known as precision agriculture is gaining more traction for its promising potential to fulfill increasing global food demand and supply. In a smart farm, technologies and connected devices are used in a ... -
Physically Informed Machine Learning for Hydrological Modeling Under Climate Nonstationarity
(2019-10)There is an understanding in the hydrological sciences community that physical realism is necessary for providing hydrological forecasts under changing conditions (Blöschl et al., 2019; Clark et al., 2016; Milly et al., ... -
Robots That Use Language
(Annual Reviews, 2020-01-31)This article surveys the use of natural language in robotics from a robotics point of view. To use human language, robots must map words to aspects of the physical world, mediated by the robot's sensors and actuators. This ... -
Comprehensive Analysis of Aspergillus nidulans PKA Phosphorylome Identifies a Novel Mode of CreA Regulation
(American Society for Microbiology, 2019-04)The fungal cell-wall integrity signaling (CWIS) pathway regulates cellular response to environmental stress to enable wall repair and resumption of normal growth. This complex, interconnected, pathway has been only partially ... -
Dynamic transcriptomic and phosphoproteomic analysis during cell wall stress in Aspergillus nidulans
(ASBMB Publications, 2020-08-01)The fungal cell-wall integrity signaling (CWIS) pathway regulates cellular response to environmental stress to enable wall repair and resumption of normal growth. This complex, interconnected, pathway has been only partially ... -
The Aspergillus fumigatus Phosphoproteome Reveals Roles of High-Osmolarity Glycerol Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases in Promoting Cell Wall Damage and Caspofungin Tolerance
(American Society for Microbiology, 2020-02-04)The filamentous fungus Aspergillus fumigatus can cause a distinct set of clinical disorders in humans. Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is the most common life-threatening fungal disease of immunocompromised humans. The ... -
Impact of Four Common Hydrogels on Amyloid-β (Aβ) Aggregation and Cytotoxicity: Implications for 3D Models of Alzheimer’s Disease
(ACS Publications, 2020-08-06)The physiochemical properties of hydrogels utilized in 3D culture can be used to modulate cell phenotype and morphology with a striking resemblance to cellular processes that occur in vivo. Indeed, research areas including ...
