EPPTA: Efficient partially observable reinforcement learning agent for penetration testing applications

open access: yesEngineering Reports
In recent years, penetration testing (pen‐testing) has emerged as a crucial process for evaluating the security level of network infrastructures by simulating real‐world cyber‐attacks.

Time‐ and State‐Dependent Damage Accumulation Due to Aftershocks Under an M9.0 Megathrust Earthquake in the Cascadia Subduction Zone

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study develops a comprehensive framework for assessing time and state‐dependent aftershock damage accumulation under an M9.0 megathrust interface earthquake in the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ). The framework integrates aftershock probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (APSHA) and state‐dependent fragility analysis (SDFA) within a ...

Analysis of Energy Consumption, Economic Efficiency and Carbon Emissions of Ice Slurry Direct Supply System: A Case Study of China

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Traditional air conditioners suffer from low energy efficiency and exacerbate grid peak loads. While ice storage offers energy‐saving potential, the systematic regulation of ice packing fraction (IPF) on cooling consumption and its synergy with dynamic carbon emissions remains unexplored.

Mortality Forecasting Using Variational Inference

open access: yesJournal of Forecasting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper considers the problem of forecasting mortality rates. A large number of models have already been proposed for this task, but they generally have the disadvantage of either estimating the model in a two‐step process, possibly losing efficiency, or relying on methods that are cumbersome for the practitioner to use.

A Fuzzy Framework for Realized Volatility Prediction: Empirical Evidence From Equity Markets

open access: yesJournal of Forecasting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study introduces a realized volatility fuzzy time series (RV‐FTS) model that applies a fuzzy c‐means clustering algorithm to estimate time‐varying c$$ c $$ latent volatility states and their corresponding membership degrees. These memberships are used to construct a fuzzified volatility estimate as a weighted average of cluster centroids.

Structural Results for Partially Observed Markov Decision Processes

open access: yes, 2015
This article provides an introductory tutorial on structural results in partially observed Markov decision processes (POMDPs). Typically, computing the optimal policy of a POMDP is computationally intractable. We use lattice program- ming methods to characterize the structure of the optimal policy of a POMDP without brute force computations.
