Understanding Visually Impaired Tramway Passengers Interaction with Public Transport Systems
Designing inclusive public transport services is crucial to developing modern, barrier-free smart city infrastructure. This research contributes to the design of inclusive public transport by considering accessibility challenges emerging from socio-technical systems, thus demanding the integration of technological and social solutions. Using Actor-Network Theory (ANT) as a theoretical framework and a mixed-method approach, including shadowing and a focus group, this study examines the socio-tec…

Vulnerability Management Chaining: An Integrated Framework for Efficient Cybersecurity Risk Prioritization
Cybersecurity teams face an overwhelming vulnerability crisis: with 25,000+ new CVEs disclosed annually, traditional CVSS-based prioritization requires addressing 60% of all vulnerabilities while correctly identifying only 20% of those actually exploited. We propose Vulnerability Management Chaining, an integrated decision tree framework combining historical exploitation evidence (KEV), predictive threat modeling (EPSS), and technical impact assessment (CVSS) to transform vulnerability manageme…

SubMIT: A Physics Analysis Facility at MIT
The recently completed SubMIT platform is a small set of servers that provide interactive access to substantial data samples at high speeds, enabling sophisticated data analyses with very fast turnaround times. Additionally, it seamlessly integrates massive processing resources for large-scale tasks by connecting to a set of powerful batch processing systems. It serves as an ideal prototype for an Analysis Facility tailored to meet the demanding data and computational requirements anticipated d…

Optimal BESS Scheduling for Multi-Market Participation in the Nordics
Battery energy storage systems BESSs can provide fast frequency reserves and energy arbitrage in Nordic electricity markets but their limited energy capacity requires accurate revenue forecasts and coordinated bidding across multiple submarkets. This paper introduces a unified framework that employs generalized additive models GAMs to generate one week ahead forecasts of spot and FCRN revenues in Denmark, Finland, and Norway using three years of hourly price and volume data. Forecast outputs fe…

PoisonArena: Uncovering Competing Poisoning Attacks in Retrieval-Augmented Generation
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, widely used to improve the factual grounding of large language models (LLMs), are increasingly vulnerable to poisoning attacks, where adversaries inject manipulated content into the retriever's corpus. While prior research has predominantly focused on single-attacker settings, real-world scenarios often involve multiple, competing attackers with conflicting objectives. In this work, we introduce PoisonArena, the first benchmark to systematically stu…

Shrinkage-Based Regressions with Many Related Treatments
When using observational causal models, practitioners often want to disentangle the effects of many related, partially-overlapping treatments. Examples include estimating treatment effects of different marketing touchpoints, ordering different types of products, or signing up for different services. Common approaches that estimate separate treatment coefficients are too noisy for practical decision-making. We propose a computationally light model that uses a customized ridge regression to move …

Network Weighted Functional Regression: a method for modeling dependencies between functional data in a network
This paper focuses on predicting continuous signals in a sensor lab network, particularly studying microclimate changes. We propose two novel concepts: Network Functional Data (NFD), which represents time series signals as functions on network nodes, and the Network Weighted Functional Regression (NWFR) model, which analyzes relationships between functional responses and predictors in a weighted network. Additionally, we introduce a functional conformal method to provide prediction bands with g…
