Empirical risk minimization (ERM) is a cornerstone of modern machine learning (ML), supported by advances in optimization theory that ensure efficient solutions with provable algorithmic convergence rates, which measure the speed at which optimization algorithms approach a solution, and statistical learning rates, which characterize how well the solution generalizes to unseen data. Privacy, memory, computational, and communications constraints increasingly necessitate data collection, processing, and storage across network-connected devices. In many applications, these networks operate in decentralized settings where a central server cannot be assumed, requiring decentralized ML algorithms that are both efficient and resilient. Decentralized learning, however, faces significant challenges, including an increased attack surface for adversarial interference during decentralized learning processes. This paper focuses on the man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack, wherein adversaries exploit communication vulnerabilities between devices to inject malicious updates during training, potentially causing models to deviate significantly from their intended ERM solutions. To address this challenge, we propose RESIST (Resilient dEcentralized learning using conSensus gradIent deScenT), an optimization algorithm designed to be robust against adversarially compromised communication links, where transmitted information may be arbitrarily altered before being received. Unlike existing adversarially robust decentralized learning methods, which often (i) guarantee convergence only to a neighborhood of the solution, (ii) lack guarantees of linear convergence for strongly convex problems, or (iii) fail to ensure statistical consistency as sample sizes grow, RESIST overcomes all three limitations. It achieves algorithmic and statistical convergence for strongly convex, Polyak–Lojasiewicz, and nonconvex ERM problems by employing a multistep consensus gradient descent framework and robust statis

Visual odometry (VO) system is challenged by complex illumination environments. Image quality and its consistency in the time domain directly determine feature detection and tracking performance, which further affect the robustness and accuracy of the entire system. In this paper, an image acquisition scheme with image bracketing patterns is proposed. Images with different exposure levels are continuously captured to sufficiently explore the scene under varying illumination. An attribute control method is designed to adjust image exposures within the brackets online. Gaussian process regression fits the relationship between image quality metric and exposure via image synthesis technique. The optimal exposures for the next bracket are obtained directly without attempts to ensure a quick response. Experiments show our acquisition system’s effectiveness and performance improvement for VO tasks in complex illumination scenes.

The rapid growth of e-commerce has resulted in an overwhelming amount of user-generated content in the form of product reviews. Harnessing these reviews effectively is critical for enhancing recommendation systems. This paper presents a sentiment analysis-based approach that delves into specific product attributes, such as quality, design, price, durability, usability, comfort, value for money, and customer service, to extract actionable insights. By employing natural language processing (NLP) techniques, our system calculates both overall and attribute-specific sentiment scores, which are aggregated into a comprehensive recommendation score. The proposed methodology bridges the gap between unstructured text reviews and structured product recommendations, offering a detailed, attribute-focused perspective to improve user decision-making.

In this paper, we investigate the methods of data augmentation appropriate to detect bacteria from Gram stained smears images by YOLOv8. For data augmentation, we adopt the flipping, the rotation, the cutout and the change of the values in HSB color space. Then, we evaluate these methods and the methods of the cutout and the change of the values in HSB color space after applying the flipping and the rotation.
