The virtual private cloud service currently lacks a real-time end-to-end consistency validation mechanism, which prevents tenants from receiving immediate feedback on their requests. Existing solutions consume excessive communication and computational resources in such large-scale cloud environments, and suffer from poor timeliness. To address these issues, we propose a lightweight consistency validation mechanism that includes real-time incremental validation and periodic full-scale validation. The former leverages message layer aggregation to enable tenants to swiftly determine the success of their requests on hosts with minimal communication overhead. The latter utilizes lightweight validation checksums to compare the expected and actual states of hosts locally, while efficiently managing the checksums of various host entries using inverted indexing. This approach enables us to efficiently validate the complete local configurations within the limited memory of hosts. In summary, our proposed mechanism achieves closed-loop implementation for new requests and ensures their long-term effectiveness.

Self-supervised learning is attracting significant attention from researchers in the point cloud processing field. However, due to the natural sparsity and irregularity of point clouds, effectively extracting discriminative and transferable features for efficient training on downstream tasks remains an unsolved challenge. Consequently, we propose PointSmile, a reconstruction-free self-supervised learning paradigm by maximizing curriculum mutual information(CMI) across the replicas of point cloud objects. From the perspective of how-and-what-to-learn, PointSmile is designed to imitate human curriculum learning, i.e.,starting with easier topics in a curriculum and gradually progressing to learning more complex topics in the curriculum. To solve “how-to-learn”, we introduce curriculum data augmentation(CDA) of point *** encourages PointSmile to follow a learning path that starts from learning easy data samples and progresses to learning hard data samples, such that the latent space can be dynamically affected to create better embeddings. To solve “what-to-learn”, we propose maximizing both feature-and class-wise CMI to better extract discriminative features of point clouds. Unlike most existing methods, PointSmile does not require a pretext task or cross-modal data to yield rich latent representations; additionally, it can be easily transferred to various backbones. We demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of PointSmile in downstream tasks such as object classification and segmentation. The study results show that PointSmile outperforms existing self-supervised methods and compares favorably with popular fully supervised methods on various standard architectures.

Machine learning has been massively utilized to construct data-driven solutions for predicting the lifetime of rechargeable batteries in recent years, which project the physical measurements obtained during the early charging/discharging cycles to the remaining useful lifetime. While most existing techniques train the prediction model through minimizing the prediction error only, the errors associated with the physical measurements can also induce negative impact to the prediction accuracy. Although total-least-squares(TLS) regression has been applied to address this issue, it relies on the unrealistic assumption that the distributions of measurement errors on all input variables are equivalent, and cannot appropriately capture the practical characteristics of battery degradation. In order to tackle this challenge, this work intends to model the variations along different input dimensions, thereby improving the accuracy and robustness of battery lifetime prediction. In specific, we propose an innovative EM-TLS framework that enhances the TLS-based prediction to accommodate dimension-variate errors, while simultaneously investigating the distributions of them using expectation-maximization(EM). Experiments have been conducted to validate the proposed method based on the data of commercial Lithium-Ion batteries, where it reduces the prediction error by up to 29.9 % compared with conventional TLS. This demonstrates the immense potential of the proposed method for advancing the R&D of rechargeable batteries.
