A deep multiple instance learning approach based on coarse labels for high-resolution land-cover mapping
The quantity and the quality of the training labels are central problems in high-resolution land-cover mapping with machine-learning-based solutions. In this context, weak labels can be gathered in large quantities by leveraging on existing low-resolution or obsolete products. In this paper, we address the problem of training land-cover classifiers using high-resolution imagery (e.g., Sentinel-2) and weak low-resolution reference data (e.g., MODIS -derived land-cover maps). Inspired by recent w…

“The key reason, the ECIU says, lies in how British households use smart meters and flexible electricity tariffs. While petrol prices are broadly similar in both countries, UK electric car drivers can charge their cars overnight using cheap, surplus electricity at rates as low as 7p per kWh.”

All You Need Is A Fuzzing Brain: An LLM-Powered System for Automated Vulnerability Detection and Patching
Our team, All You Need Is A Fuzzing Brain, was one of seven finalists in DARPA's Artificial Intelligence Cyber Challenge (AIxCC), placing fourth in the final round. During the competition, we developed a Cyber Reasoning System (CRS) that autonomously discovered 28 security vulnerabilities - including six previously unknown zero-days - in real-world open-source C and Java projects, and successfully patched 14 of them. The complete CRS is open source at https://github.com/o2lab/afc-crs-all-you-ne…

A Digital Twin Framework for Metamorphic Testing of Autonomous Driving Systems Using Generative Model
Ensuring the safety of self-driving cars remains a major challenge due to the complexity and unpredictability of real-world driving environments. Traditional testing methods face significant limitations, such as the oracle problem, which makes it difficult to determine whether a system's behavior is correct, and the inability to cover the full range of scenarios an autonomous vehicle may encounter. In this paper, we introduce a digital twin-driven metamorphic testing framework that addresses th…

A Multi-Layer Electronic and Cyber Interference Model for AI-Driven Cruise Missiles: The Case of Khuzestan Province
The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence has enabled the development of cruise missiles endowed with high levels of autonomy, adaptability, and precision. These AI driven missiles integrating deep learning algorithms, real time data processing, and advanced guidance systems pose critical threats to strategic infrastructures, especially under complex geographic and climatic conditions such as those found in Irans Khuzestan Province. In this paper, we propose a multi layer interference mo…
