Multivariate time series data are produced in various domains, including AIOps, space crafts, and healthcare. Identifying anomalies within them is significant to ensure the stability of target systems. Current anomaly detectors mainly focus on devising intricate network structures based on recurrent neural networks, Transformers, or graph neural networks to model the temporal and inter-variate dependencies of the input time series. Nevertheless, complex models often lead to computational burden in training and inferencing stage. Also, system operators have to understand the technical details of these complex models to fine-tune them or add new modules for different needs. This motivates us to consider an intriguing question: can we construct an anomaly detection model merely based on simple networks? In this paper, we propose FlightAD, a light but effective anomaly detection model using only multi-layer perceptron (MLP) networks. FlightAD applies MLP networks on top of a multi-scale sampling strategy, followed by an informationfusing mechanism to fuse the learned features. More specific, the multi-scale sampling strategy is used to extract abundant temporal patterns of time series, and the MLP blocks applied to it can simultaneously model the dependencies along the time axis and dependencies between different sampled sub-sequences (i.e., different variables). Finally, we wield an informationfusing module to fully integrate the learned multi-scale features. Extensive experiments on six real-world datasets show that our model outperforms seven state-of-the-art competitors on average by 2.1%-18.2% in F 1 score and 3.8%-38.9% in AUC-PR.

The world population is aging at a rapid pace. According to the WHO (World Health Organization), from 2015 to 2050, the proportion of elderly people will practically double, from 12 to 22%, representing 2.1 billion people. From the individual's point of view, aging brings a series of challenges, mainly related to health conditions. Although, seniors can experience opposing health profiles. With advancing age, cognitive functions tend to degrade, and conditions that affect the physical and mental health of the elderly are disabilities or deficiencies that affect Activities of Daily Living (ADL). The difficulty of carrying out these activities within the domestic context prevents the individual from living independently in their home. Abnormal behaviors in these activities may represent a decline in health status and the need for intervention by family members or caregivers. This work proposes the identification of anomalies in the ADL of the elderly in the domestic context through Machine Learning algorithms using the Novelty Detection method. The focus is on using available ADL data to create a baseline of behavior and using new data to classify them as normal or abnormal daily. The results obtained using the E-Health Monitoring database, using different Novelty Detection algorithms, have an accuracy of 91% and an F1-Score of 90%.

With the development of technology and the economy, people's living standards have significantly improved. However, environmental pollution has become increasingly severe, especially water quality pollution, which is closely related to people's daily lives. The current water quality monitoring systems have drawbacks such as single monitoring indicators, mostly wired monitoring, and long monitoring cycles. Based on this, this study designs and implements a wireless water quality monitoring system that can monitor multiple water quality parameters in real-time and achieve remote data viewing and alarming through wireless communication. Firstly, the system collects data such as pH, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), and temperature through sensors. Then, the collected data is processed by the STM32F103C8T6 microcontroller and transmitted to the gateway node via the LoRa module. Finally, the gateway node uploads the data to a cloud platform for remote viewing on an upper computer. Additionally, the upper computer can modify the threshold values in manual mode. When the relevant parameters exceed the set thresholds, the system will issue an alarm to promptly alert users to changes in water quality. The establishment of a real-time water quality monitoring system not only helps in promptly detecting abnormal water quality conditions but also provides strong data support for relevant departments, aiding them in formulating more scientific and targeted improvement measures.

Free Space Optical (FSO) Communication provides better communication coverage and higher data rate. However, FSO requires neighboring nodes to schedule their transceiver towards each other for communication, which makes multi-hop communication challenging. In this paper, we present an FSO mesh network system that enables data transfer among multiple nodes. Each node is equipped with a multi-transceiver FSO communication module and a low-bitrate long-range (LoRa) omnidirectional radio frequency (RF) communication module. Scheduling remains a significant challenge for wireless communication using highly directional transceivers such as FSO. Hence, we propose a distributed coordination and communication method that utilizes a supplementary omnidirectional LoRa channel for distributed coordination among the nodes in the mesh network. In the proposed scheme, a per-packet beam scheduling is proposed where the assisting low bandwidth omnidirectional channel helps the higher data rate directional channel to coordinate and face the line of sight. Our proposed method enables communication via both single-hop and multi-hop FSO links. We also present the implementation of a proof-of-concept prototype of an RF-FSO communication module comprising multiple FSO transceivers and a LoRa transceiver using commercial off-the-shelf devices (COTS). We demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed FSO mesh network system through real test-bed experiments using the developed prototype.

Large deep neural network (DNN) models have demonstrated exceptional performance across diverse downstream tasks. Sharded data parallelism (SDP) has been widely used to reduce the memory footprint of model states. In a DNN training cluster, a device usually has multiple inter-device links that connect to other devices, like NVLink and InfiniBand. However, existing SDP approaches employ a single link at any given time, encountering challenges in efficient training due to significant communication overheads. We observe that the inter-device links can work independently without affecting each other. To reduce the fatal communication overhead of distributed training of large DNNs, this paper introduces HSDP, an efficient SDP training approach that enables the simultaneous utilization of multiple inter-device links. HSDP partitions models in a novel fine-grained manner and orchestrates the communication processes of partitioned parameters while considering inter-device links. This design enables concurrent communication execution and reduces communication overhead. To further optimize the training performance of HSDP, we propose a HSDP planner. The HSDP planner first abstracts the model partition and execution of HSDP into a communication parallel strategy, and builds a cost model to estimate the performance of each strategy. We then formulate the strategy searching as an optimization problem and solve it with an off-the-shelf solver. Evaluations on representative DNN workloads demonstrate that HSDP achieves up to 1.30× speedup compared to the state-of-the-art SDP training approaches.

In Cyber-Physical systems (CPS) such as Wireless Sensors networks (WSN), disseminating data is crucial. Under energy constraints with limited communications capabilities, performing data dissemination is challenging. In such contexts, common data dissemination methods cannot be used. Nodes must rely on device-to-device communications policies to mitigate the impact of communications on the nodes energy consumption. However, depending on nodes configuration (up-times duration, wireless technology capabilities and energy consumption), choosing a suitable communication policy is challenging. This work exposes the problem statement for using analytic algorithms to predict the most suitable device-to-device communication policy, for a given node configuration, to match a given coverage and energy consumption target in a constrained environment.

The article discusses various methods of visual attacks on neural networks such as the introducing of additive white Gaussian noise, pixel maximization and minimization of brightness, maximization and minimization of brightness in the area. For well-known datasets (MNIST, Kaggle dataset called as Dogs_vs_Cats), the dependence of the proportion of correct recognitions on the proportion of distorted images in the test sample is studied. networks such as VGG-16, Inception_v3, networks without training transfer are analyzed. The characteristics of the accuracy of such networks from the noise level in the image, from the size of the attack areas are obtained. The probabilities of belonging to a given class for various images in various attacks are analyzed. As a method for combating visual attacks, it is proposed to single out a new class during training: "poor image". By selecting valid images by dumping "bad images" by the neural network, accuracy is improved even in the case of a large volume of distorted images in the test sample. The accuracy of such a network is compared for N classes and for (N + 1) classes of images. Ways of further research and ideas of alternative methods of combating visual attacks on neural networks are formulated. (C) 2021 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
