Adversarial robustness of deep reinforcement learning by Qu, Xinghua

“…Our frame-correlation transfers dramatically speed up the attack generation compared to existing methods, often significantly reducing the required computation time; thus, shedding light on the real threat of real-time attacks in RL. Last but not the least, to alleviate the vulnerability issue of DRL, in Chapter \ref{chapter:A2PD}, we propose an adversary agnostic defense approach in order to increase the robustness of existed DRL policies. …”

Combinatorial algorithms for scheduling jobs to minimize server usage time by Ren, Runtian

“…The Flexible Job Scheduling problem aims at determining the starting times of flexible jobs that do not have to be started immediately at their arrivals to minimize the span of all the jobs, where the span is the time duration in which at least one job is running. In the non-clairvoyant online setting, we first show that no deterministic online scheduler can achieve a competitive ratio less than µ. …”

Two-dimensional metal-organic frameworks for gas sensing by Lister, AM

“…Beyond the processing and uniformity advantages, the fabricated MOF sensors are also able to operate at room temperature, whilst metal oxide semiconductor NH₃ sensors typically require operation temperatures of at least 150 °C. The electrochemically-synthesised MOF sensors showed enhanced linearity in response compared to the analogous sensors made from MOF powders, and would therefore make more reliable real-world sensors.…”
