Scientific research increasingly relies on distributed computational resources, storage systems, networks, and instruments, ranging from HPC and cloud systems to edge devices. Event-driven architecture (EDA) benefits applications targeting distributed research infrastructures by enabling the organization, communication, processing, reliability, and security of events generated from many sources. To support the development of scientific EDA, we introduce Octopus, a hybrid, cloud-to-edge event fabric designed to link many local event producers and consumers with cloud-hosted brokers, and to provide a fabric for developing resilient applications. Octopus can be scaled to meet demand, permits the deployment of highly available Triggers for automatic event processing, and enforces fine-grained access control. We identify requirements in self-driving laboratories, scientific data automation, online task scheduling, epidemic modeling, and dynamic workflow management use cases, and present results demonstrating Octopus’ ability to meet those requirements. Octopus supports producing and consuming events at a rate of over 4.2 M and 9.6 M events per second, respectively, from distributed clients.

Multiple preferences between robots and tasks have been largely overlooked in previous research on Multi-Robot Task Allocation (MRTA) problems. In this paper, we propose a preference-driven approach based on hedonic game to address the task allocation problem of muti-robot systems in emergency rescue scenarios. We present a distributed framework considering various preferences between robots and tasks to determine the division of coalitions in such problems and evaluate the scalability and adaptability of our algorithm through relevant experiments. Furthermore, considering the strict communication limitations in emergency rescue scenarios, we have verified that our algorithm can efficiently converge to a Nash-stable coalition partition even in conditions of insufficient communication distance.

Yoga is practiced by people throughout. Many people are participating on their own, either by coaching one another or watching TV or videos. Beginners may find it difficult to recognize the erroneous components of their yoga poses on their own, though. A position correction approach is proposed for assessing yoga poses to support self-learning yoga. KNN is utilized to identify the yoga position, and the PoseNet model is used to detect body points. In order to initially recognize a yoga stance in many circumstances, including brightness level and distance of the yoga practitioner from the camera, the system uses multi-part detection using merely a camera. After that, it establishes how dissimilar the poses of an instructor and a user are. The model was successful in classifying the yoga pose with an overall accuracy of 99.6% in classifying the yoga pose even through a lightweight PoseNet model. The PoseNet model also helped in correcting that yoga pose through angle calculation.
Online learning has gained popularity in recent years due to the urgent need to analyse large-scale streaming data, which can be collected in perpetuity and serially dependent. This motivates us to develop the online ...

The kernel Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD) is a popular multivariate distance metric between distributions that has found utility in two-sample testing. The usual kernel-MMD test statistic is a degenerate U-statistic under the null, and thus it has an intractable limiting distribution. Hence, to design a level-α test, one usually selects the rejection threshold as the (1 — α)-quantile of the permutation distribution. The resulting nonparametric test has finite-sample validity but suffers from large computational cost, since every permutation takes quadratic time. We propose the cross-MMD, a new quadratic-time MMD test statistic based on sample-splitting and studentization. We prove that under mild assumptions, the cross-MMD has a limiting standard Gaussian distribution under the null. Importantly, we also show that the resulting test is consistent against any fixed alternative, and when using the Gaussian kernel, it has minimax rate-optimal power against local alternatives. For large sample sizes, our new cross-MMD provides a significant speedup over the MMD, for only a slight loss in power.
