Experimental Cybersecurity Evaluation of Distributed Solar Inverters: Vulnerabilities and Impacts on the Australian Grid

-

B9, L2, R2325

The increased adoption of solar power globally presents an environmentally sustainable alternative to traditional energy sources. However, integrating solar distributed generation (DG) systems into the power grid introduces complexities that can impact the grid’s reliability and security.

Neuro-symbolic methods for Semantic Web ontologies

-

B9, L2, R2325

Semantic Web ontologies are widely used to provide a conceptual schema for sharing and integrating data and knowledge using a logic-based language. The content of ontologies may also be used to provide background knowledge in machine learning models or provide domain-specific constraints that can be verified automatically and used for zero-shot predictions.

Monotone Operator methods for proving existence of solutions to Dirichlet-type problems

-

B1, L4, R4214

I will discuss several standard techniques for proving existence of solutions to boundary value problems involving second-order elliptic PDE.
KAUST-CEMSE-AMCS-Phd-dissertation-defense-yang-liu

Multilevel sampling and goal-oriented adaptive finite elements for random PDEs and advances in randomized quasi-Monte Carlo

-

B2, L5, R5209

This thesis explores numerical methods for uncertainty quantification in systems governed by random partial differential equations (PDEs) and advances in randomized quasi-Monte Carlo (RQMC) techniques.
KAUST-CEMSE-AMCS-Seminar-Graeme-Milton-From-Pentamodes-to-Cable-Webs-to-Masonry-Structures

From Pentamodes to Cable Webs to Masonry Structures

-

B1, L3, R3119

Pentamode materials are a class of materials that are useful for guiding stress. In particular, they have been proposed for acoustic cloaking by guiding stress around objects, and have been physically constructed. A key feature of pentamode materials is that each vertex in the material is the junction of 4 double cone elements.

Improving Optimization of Likelihood-based Generative Models with One Line of Code

-

B9, L2, R2325

Generative Models (GMs) have attracted considerable attention due to their tremendous success in various domains, such as computer vision where they are capable to generate impressive realistic-looking images.

Causal Recommender Systems

-

B1, L3, R3119

In this presentation, I will give an overview of the recommender systems (RS) from causal prospective and discuss my team works on the causal recommendation. First, I introduce the potential outcome framework in recommender system. Second, I provide a brief overview for the debiasing strategies. Then I introduce our woks to address the bias in RS from causal perspective. FinallyI discuss some open problem and future direction in recommender systems.
