Stochastic pairwise preference convergence in Bayesian agents

Beliefs inform the behaviour of forward-thinking agents in complex environments. Recently, sequential Bayesian inference has emerged as a mechanism to study belief formation among agents adapting to dynamical conditions. However, we lack critical theory to ...

Direct observation of glycans bonded to proteins and lipids at the single-molecule level

Klaus Kern, Stephan Rauschenbach

Proteins and lipids decorated with glycans are found throughout biological entities, playing roles in biological functions and dysfunctions. Current analytical strategies for these glycan-decorated biomolecules, termed glycoconjugates, rely on ensemble-ave ...

Combining ion mobility spectrometry and cryogenic ion spectroscopy with enzymatic digestion/synthesis for the study of N-linked glycans

Irina Märki

Glycans play an essential role in numerous physiological and pathological processes of living organisms. Despite their significant biological relevance, glycobiology remains one of the least explored fields of biochemistry. The intrinsic isomeric complexit ...

Multi-agent Learning with Privacy Guarantees

Elsa Rizk

A multi-agent system consists of a collection of decision-making or learning agents subjected to streaming observations from some real-world phenomenon. The goal of the system is to solve some global learning or optimization problem in a distributed or dec ...

Networked Signal and Information Processing: Learning by multiagent systems

Ali H. Sayed, Stefan Vlaski

This article reviews significant advances in networked signal and information processing (SIP), which have enabled in the last 25 years extending decision making and inference, optimization, control, and learning to the increasingly ubiquitous environments ...

Multi-agent actor-critic with time dynamical opponent model

Olga Fink, Qin Wang

In multi-agent reinforcement learning, multiple agents learn simultaneously while interacting with a common environment and each other. Since the agents adapt their policies during learning, not only the behavior of a single agent becomes non-stationary, b ...

Impact of Redundancy on Resilience in Distributed Optimization and Learning

Nirupam Gupta, Shuo Liu

This paper considers the problem of resilient distributed optimization and stochastic learning in a server-based architecture. The system comprises a server and multiple agents, where each agent has its own local cost function. The agents collaborate with ...

Partial Information Sharing Over Social Learning Networks

Ali H. Sayed, Virginia Bordignon

This work addresses the problem of sharing partial information within social learning strategies. In social learning, agents solve a distributed multiple hypothesis testing problem by performing two operations at each instant: first, agents incorporate inf ...

Discovering Influencers in Opinion Formation Over Social Graphs

Ali H. Sayed, Mert Kayaalp, Valentina Shumovskaia, Mert Cemri

The adaptive social learning paradigm helps model how networked agents are able to form opinions on a state of nature and track its drifts in a changing environment. In this framework, the agents repeatedly update their beliefs based on private observation ...

Combining multi-stage ion mobility spectrometry with cryogenic infrared spectroscopy for glycan analysis

Priyanka Bansal

Structural analysis of biomolecules is essential to understanding biological processes. Among the various classes of biomolecules, glycans have gained significant attention recently due to their ubiquitous roles in biological systems. However, study of gly ...
