Lately there has been an increase in the number of Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications ranging from recommendation systems to face to speech recognition. At the helm of the advent of deep learning is the proliferation of data from diverse data sources ranging from Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices to self-driving automobiles. Tapping into this unlimited reservoir of information presents the problem of finding quality data out of a myriad of irrelevant ones, which to this day, has been a significant issue in data science with a direct ramification of this being the inability to generate quality ML models for useful predictive analysis. Edge computing has been deemed a solution to some of issues such as privacy, security, data silos and latency, as it ventures to bring cloud computing services closer to end-nodes. A new form of edge computing known as edge-AI attempts to bring ML, AI, and predictive analytics services closer to the data source (end devices). In this paper, we investigate an approach to bring edge-AI to end-nodes through a shared machine learning model powered by the blockchain technology and a federated learning framework called iFLBC edge. Our approach addresses the issue of the scarcity of relevant data by devising a mechanism known as the Proof of Common Interest (PoCI) to sieve out relevant data from irrelevant ones. The relevant data is trained on a model, which is then aggregated along with other models to generate a shared model that is stored on the blockchain. The aggregated model is downloaded by members of the network which they can utilize for the provision of edge intelligence to end-users. This way, AI can be more ubiquitous as members of the iFLBC network can provide intelligence services to end-users.

The need to support various machine learning (ML) algorithms on energy-constrained computing devices has steadily grown. In this article, we propose an approximate multiplier, which is a key hardware component in various ML accelerators. Dubbed SiMul, our approximate multiplier features user-controlled precision that exploits the common characteristics of ML algorithms. SiMul supports a tradeoff between compute precision and energy consumption at runtime, reducing the energy consumption of the accelerator while satisfying a desired inference accuracy requirement. Compared improves the energy efficiency of multiplication by 11.6x to 3.2x while achieving 81.7-percent to 98.5-percent precision for individual multiplication operations (96.0-, 97.8-, and 97.7-percent inference accuracy for three distinct applications, respectively, compared to the baseline inference accuracy of 98.3, 99.0, and 97.7 percent using precise multipliers). A neural accelerator implemented with our multiplier can provide 1.7x (up to 2.1x) higher energy efficiency over one implemented with the precise multiplier with a negligible impact on the accuracy of the output for various applications.

Homogeneous estimates of moment magnitude (M) for small-to-moderate-magnitude (SMM) earthquakes are important to assess regional ground motion compared to global models. However, an estimate of M was available for only 6% of the shallow crustal earthquakes in Iran from 1973 to 2013 in the database developed by the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center. Therefore, this study evaluates the existing conversion models, from ML, Ms, and mb, to M, for M > 4.0 using the Iranian data set. Correlations between the residuals of these conversions were computed. A weighted estimate for M is presented that combines these conversion models using these correlations based on multivariate statistics. The conversion to M was improved with smaller standard deviations, especially when ML and mb were both available. The inverse-variance-weighted approach, which is common in practice, underestimates the standard deviations because it neglects the positive correlations between these variables.

Systematic atomistic studies of surface reactivity for amorphous materials have not been possible in the past because of the complexity of these materials and the lack of the computer power necessary to draw representative statistics. With the emergence and popularization of machine learning (ML) approaches in materials science, systematic (and accurate) studies of the surface chemistry of disordered materials are now coming within reach. In this paper, we show how the reactivity of amorphous carbon (a-C) surfaces can be systematically quantified and understood by a combination of ML interatomic potentials, ML clustering techniques, and density functional theory calculations. This methodology allows us to process large amounts of atomic data to classify carbon atomic motifs on the basis of their geometry and quantify their reactivity toward hydrogen- and oxygen-containing functionalities. For instance, we identify subdivisions of sp and sp2 motifs with markedly different reactivities. We therefore draw a comprehensive, both qualitative and quantitative, picture of the surface chemistry of a-C and its reactivity toward -H, -O, -OH, and -COOH. While this paper focuses on a-C surfaces, the presented methodology opens up a new systematic and general way to study the surface chemistry of amorphous and disordered materials.

Langmuir circulation (LC) is believed to be one of the leading causes of turbulent mixing in the upper ocean. Large eddy simulation (LES) models that solve the Craik-Leibovich equations are used to study LC in the upper ocean, yielding new insights that could not be obtained from field observations or turbulent closure models alone. The present study expands our previous LES modeling investigations of LC to real ocean conditions with large-scale environmental motion due to strong horizontal density gradient, which is introduced to the LES model through scale separation analysis. The model is applied to field observations in the Gulf of Mexico when a measurement site was impacted by fresh water inflow. Model results suggest that LC can enhance turbulence in the water column and deepen the mixed layer (ML) with or without the large scale motions, being consistent with previous studies. The strong salinity gradient is shown to be able to reduce the mean flow in the ML, align Langmuir cells with the pressure gradient direction and inhibit turbulence in the ocean surface boundary layer.

Parametrization of small organic molecules for classical molecular dynamics simulations is not trivial. The vastness of the chemical space makes approaches using building blocks challenging. The most common approach is therefore an individual parametrization of each compound by deriving partial charges from semiempirical or ab initio calculations and inheriting the bonded and van der Waals (Lennard-Jones) parameters from a (bio)molecular force field. The quality of the partial charges generated in this fashion depends on the level of the quantum-chemical calculation as well as on the extraction procedure used. Here, we present a machine learning (ML) based approach for predicting partial charges extracted from density functional theory (DFT) electron densities. The training set was chosen with the goal to provide a broad coverage of the known chemical space of druglike molecules. In addition to the speed of the approach, the partial charges predicted by ML are not dependent on the three-dimensional conformation in contrast to the ones obtained by fitting to the electrostatic potential (ESP). To assess the quality and compatibility with standard force fields, we performed benchmark calculations for the free energy of hydration and liquid properties such as density and heat of vaporization.

We investigated translational inelasticity in molecular beam surface scattering of NO and CO from ultrathin metallic films of Ag with atomically defined thicknesses grown on single-crystal Au(111). For both molecules, we observe a gradual decrease of the mean final translational energy for Ag film thicknesses between 0 and 3 ML after which no thickness dependence is seen. For Ag films with thicknesses greater than 3 ML, observations are indistinguishable from those of scattering experiments performed on pure Ag crystal surfaces. The similar behavior of both molecules suggests that translational inelasticity is dominated by the mechanical properties of the surface. Theory predicts a thickness-dependent trend of the phonon spectrum that can qualitatively explain the observed behavior.
