The evolution of behavioral cues and signaling in displaced communication

Dario Floreano, Laurent Keller

Displaced communication, whereby individuals communicate regarding a subject that is not immediately present (spatially or temporally), is one of the key features of human language. It also occurs in a few animal species, most notably the honeybee, where t ...

Science Communication Desperately Needs More Aligned Recommendation Algorithms

Le Nguyen Hoang

With 1 billion watch-time hours per day, YouTube now plays a major role in communication. Unfortunately, a large amount of misinformation is produced and widely shared on this platform (Donzelli et al., 2018; Allgaier, 2019; Loeb et al., 2019). In this pap ...

On Maintaining Linear Convergence of Distributed Learning and Optimization Under Limited Communication

Na Li, Hossein Shokri Ghadikolaei

In distributed optimization and machine learning, multiple nodes coordinate to solve large problems. To do this, the nodes need to compress important algorithm information to bits so that it can be communicated over a digital channel. The communication tim ...

IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2020

This paper presents a strategy for providing reliable state estimates that allow a group of robots to realize a formation even when communication fails and the tracking data alone is insufficient for maintaining a stable formation. Furthermore, the trackin ...

On Coordinated Primal-Dual Interior-Point Methods for Multi-Agent Optimization

Colin Neil Jones, Altug Bitlislioglu

This paper presents a coordinated primal-dual interior point (PDIP) method for solving structured convex linear and quadratic programs (LP-QP) in a distributed man- ner. The considered class of problems represents a multi-agent setting, where the aggregate ...

The role of MgB12H12 in the hydrogen desorption process of Mg(BH4)(2)

The presence of MgB12H12 has often been considered as the major obstacle for the reversible hydrogen storage in Mg(BH4)(2). This communication provides evidence that the MgB12H12 phase (or B12H12 monomer) does not exist in the decomposition products ...

Eliminating unscalable communication in transaction processing

Anastasia Ailamaki, Frederick Ryan Johnson, Ippokratis Pandis

Multicore hardware demands software parallelism. Transaction processing workloads typically exhibit high concurrency, and, thus, provide ample opportunities for parallel execution. Unfortunately, because of the characteristics of the application, transacti ...

Optimal design of observable multi-agent networks: A structural system approach

Colin Neil Jones, Francisco Fernandes Castro Rego

This paper introduces a method to design observable directed multi-agent networks, that are: 1) either minimal with respect to a communications-related cost function, or 2) idem, under possible failure of direct communication between two agents. An observa ...
