Task offloading in mobile edge computing systems is subject to various random factors including the connection to external servers, new task requests from users, and the availability of local processing services. However, statistical information is often not available in practical scenarios. To tackle the issue, we adopt a Q-learning-based approach that learns the optimal task offloading policy through observations of random events. Traditional Q-learning methods may face challenges such as long training times and high memory usage due to the large state and action space. To overcome this problem, we propose a novel method that leverages the concept of adjacent state sequence. In this type of sequence, we can infer the optimal offloading decision of a system state from other states. This method aims to improve the convergence speed and memory efficiency of the learning model by reducing the number of parameters that need to be learned and stored. Those eliminated parameters instead can be computed via a derived linear expression. We conduct experiments to demonstrate the enhancement of our proposed method compared to the traditional $\mathbf{Q}-$ learning in the studied problem.

Cavity magnonics, which studies the interaction of light with magnetic systems in a cavity, is a promising platform for quantum transducers and quantum memories. At microwave frequencies, the coupling between a cavity photon and a magnon, the quasiparticle of a spin-wave excitation, is a consequence of the Zeeman interaction between the cavity’s magnetic field and the magnet’s macroscopic spin. For each photon-magnon interaction, a coupling phase factor exists, and this is often neglected in simple systems; however, in “loop-coupled” systems, where there are at least as many couplings as modes, the coupling phases become relevant for the physics and lead to synthetic gauge fields. We present experimental evidence of the existence of such coupling phases by considering two spheres made of yttrium-iron-garnet and two different re-entrant cavities. We predict numerically the values of the coupling phases, and we find good agreement between the theory and the experimental data. These results show that in cavity magnonics, one can engineer synthetic gauge fields, which can be useful for cavity-mediated coupling and engineering dark-mode physics.

Data analytics has enabled evidence-based decision-making, monitoring, and implementation across multiple sectors, making datasets easier to collect, analyze, and understand. Data analytics presents an opportunity for the application of advanced techniques to address challenges in the real world including at the global level such as those associated with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In educating the next generation of professionals, instilling them with the desire to use technologies for public good and support the implementation of SDGs is highly desirable, but how to do this in higher education settings so as to develop talents and future professionals who can create meaningful impacts towards a nation's and global sustainable growth is not clear. It is still challenging to transform students' perspectives from seeing data analytics projects as purely academic exercises to developing real-world solutions that can have an impact on policy and sustainable development. This paper describes a case study on developing students as professionals and their understanding of SDGs utilizing the Data Analytics Group Project curriculum at the University of Malaya. With the findings, this paper intends to inspire academics to consider how SDGs can be included in the curriculum so that students as trained professionals can adopt a holistic viewpoint of their professional contributions to society and the SDGs in particular, taking into account the cultural, economic, and environmental influences on a country's sustainable development initiatives.

This paper proposes a recommendation model for similar programming problems to support programming education. In the proposed model, problem similarity is determined according to the similarity of source codes, in terms of the term frequency-inverse document frequency and the effort required to solve the given problem, as calculated according to Halstead metrics. The proposed model can be used to improve student understanding of a programming concept by solving many similar problems simultaneously. In addition, teachers can diversify similar programming problems during practical exercises, assignments, quizzes, and exams. The first experiment carried out in the Aizu Online Judge showed that the user’s accuracy when solving a problem was correlated to the user’s accuracy for a similar problem and, the second experiment showed a matching rate of 70% between the result of our recommendation model and the observations of a teaching assistant involved in programming classes.

This paper addresses the problem of detecting humans in RGB and Thermal (long-wave IR) images taken by cameras mounted onboard a mobile robot. Human/Pedestrian detection is currently one of the most pertinent object detection problems, mainly due to safety concerns in autonomous vehicles. The majority of approaches apply deep-learning techniques based solely on RGB images. However, they have a few shortcomings, namely that during foggy weather, nighttime, and low-light scenarios, these images may not contain sufficient information. To address these issues, this work studies the use of thermal cameras as a complementary source of information for human detection in indoor and outdoor environments. The proposed approach uses YOLOv5 to detect pedestrians in both thermal and RGB images. Moreover, the different modalities are combined using early and late fusion techniques. Evaluation of the proposed approach is carried out in the FLIR Aligned dataset and in a new in-house dataset. Results indicate that the use of fusion techniques highlights a promising way to improve the overall performance in this application domain.
This work, which explores the performance of the existing five IoT sensor classification algorithms and develops five more algorithms, intends to later compare the obtained classification accuracies. In this evaluatio...
