Unsupervised Online Detection of Pipe Blockages and Leakages in Water Distribution Networks
Water Distribution Networks (WDNs), critical to public well-being and economic stability, face challenges such as pipe blockages and background leakages, exacerbated by operational constraints such as data non-stationarity and limited labeled data. This paper proposes an unsupervised, online learning framework that aims to detect two types of faults in WDNs: pipe blockages, modeled as collective anomalies, and background leakages, modeled as concept drift. Our approach combines a Long Short-Ter…

Digital Twin-Guided Energy Management over Real-Time Pub/Sub Protocol in 6G Smart Cities
Although the emergence of 6G IoT networks has accelerated the deployment of enhanced smart city services, the resource limitations of IoT devices remain as a significant problem. Given this limitation, meeting the low-latency service requirement of 6G networks becomes even more challenging. However, existing 6G IoT management strategies lack real-time operation and mostly rely on discrete actions, which are insufficient to optimise energy consumption. To address these, in this study, we propose…

Omg, this detail from CNN about the ICE hiring snafu is wild.
This seems like an HR 101 level thing to get right.
They turned a hiring bonus into something much closer to an application bonus

Omg, this detail from CNN about the ICE hiring snafu is wild. This seems like an HR 101 level thing to get right. They turned a hiring bonus into something much closer to an application bonus. Seems like a great way to burn a ton of cash. Also? Here’s some waste for sure!

Coagulation-Fragmentation Duality of Infinitely Exchangeable Partitions from Coupled Mixed Poisson Species Sampling Models

Coagulation-Fragmentation Duality of Infinitely Exchangeable Partitions from Coupled Mixed Poisson Species Sampling Models
Jim Pitman's (1999) celebrated coagulation-fragmentation duality for the PD($α$,$θ$) family of laws of Pitman and Marc Yor (1997) has resisted generalization beyond its canonical setting. We resolve this by introducing a novel, four-part coupled process built upon the Poisson Hierarchical Indian Buffet Process (PHIBP), a framework we recently developed for modeling microbiome species sampling across multiple ($J \ge 1$) groups. This provides a tractable generalization of the duality to proces…

Telescope Tilt System for the POEMMA Balloon Radio Mission
The Probe of Extreme Multi-Messenger Astrophysics Balloon with Radio mission (PBR) will point above Earth's limb to measure PeV energy cosmic rays, and record star images to monitor optical focusing in situ. PBR will point below Earth's limb to search for earth-skimming neutrinos. PBR will also measure EeV energy cosmic rays by tilting as far down as the nadir direction. All of these searches will require changing and measuring the tilt angle of a single large integrated telescope and radio ant…
