TNCOA: Efficient Exploration via Observation‐Action Constraint on Trajectory‐Based Intrinsic Reward

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient exploration is critical in handling sparse rewards and partial observability in deep reinforcement learning. However, most existing intrinsic reward methods based on novelty rely on single‐step observations or Euclidean distances.

Distributed Planetary Object Name Service: Issues and Design Principles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The ONS is a central lookup service used in the EPCglobal network for retrieving the location of information about a specific EPC. This centralized solution lacks scalability and fault tolerance. We present the design principles of a distributed solution

A Probability‐Aware AI Framework for Reliable Anti‐Jamming Communication

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Adversarial jamming attacks have increased on communication systems, causing distortion and threatening transmissions. Typical attacks rely on traditional, well‐defined cryptographic protocols and frequency‐hopping techniques. Nevertheless, these techniques become vulnerable when facing intelligent jammers.

Retirement Savings Incentives for Low‐ and Middle‐Income Individuals: Does Government Funded Matching Change Behaviour?*

open access: yesEconomic Record, EarlyView.
We evaluate a government‐funded matching policy for retirement savings contributions targeted at low‐ and middle‐income individuals. Using a difference‐in‐difference approach, we exploit administrative changes to the Australian Government's retirement contribution matching (co‐contribution) policy to identify the impact of the programme on savings ...

The effect of nearby listings on house sale prices in Sydney: A spatio‐temporal regularization approach

open access: yesReal Estate Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract We estimate the price impact of very nearby concurrently listed properties in the Sydney housing market and assess their competition effects. We apply a hedonic model with spatiotemporal effects regularized via a graph Laplacian prior at the month‐by‐SA2 regional level to seven SA4 subregions of metropolitan Sydney. The model structure enables

Load Balancing a Cluster of Web Servers using Distributed Packet Rewriting [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
In this paper, we propose and evaluate an implementation of a prototype scalable web server. The prototype consists of a load-balanced cluster of hosts that collectively accept and service TCP connections.

Blockchain technology disruptions: Exploring accounting and auditing academics and practitioners' perception

open access: yesAccounting &Finance, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explores the practical impact of blockchain technology (BCT), which contrasts strongly with literature that has predominantly hypothesised BCT's potential to disrupt accounting practice. We interviewed 44 practitioners and academics with knowledge of BCT across 13 countries and industries.

Does the total consumption model apply to cannabis use?

open access: yesAddiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims To test whether the total consumption model and its extension, the theory of collectivity, apply to adolescent cannabis use. We estimated: (1) whether the distribution of cannabis use frequency was stable over time; (2) whether changes in average cannabis use were mirrored across consumption quantiles; and (3) whether higher average use ...

Load Balancing Hashing for Geographic Hash Tables [PDF]

open access: yes
In this paper, we address the problem of balancing the network traffic load generated when querying a geographic hash table. State-of-the-art approaches can be used to improve load balancing by changing the underlying geo-routing protocol used to forward

Boosting Multi-Core Reachability Performance with Shared Hash Tables [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This paper focuses on data structures for multi-core reachability, which is a key component in model checking algorithms and other verification methods. A cornerstone of an efficient solution is the storage of visited states.
