Abstract

Finding the source of an outbreak allows efficient resource allocation. We build on previous work that uses graph neural networks to find patient zero on random graphs. Our goal is to design more suitable architectures and benchmark them on simulated outbreaks on very large graphs.

Abstract

Many Internet protocols make use of legacy components such as outdated cryptography. In this project, students build a proof-of-concept attack how an adversary could attack this and decode TLS traffic in real-time, based on the now weak RSA Export ciphers. For this demo, it is necessary to factorize these old RSA primes.

We design and develop EdgeIO, a hybrid resource orchestration and application deployment platform that seamlessly combines cloud and edge environments. The primary objective of EdgeIO is to impart flexibility -  in design, operation, moderation and modification, all the while fully exploiting the capabilities of edge & cloud computing.

Abstract

Partial database replication is a query-driven approach to minimize the overall memory consumption of a replication cluster while still enabling a balanced load distribution among nodes. In this Future SOC Lab project, we want to deploy partial data allocations for large database clusters and evaluate their end-to-end performance.

Abstract

Human behavior has shown to have a significant impact on future flood risk. The US National Flood Insurance Program has recently released data on flood insurance policies. This study contributes a data-driven approach to identify the main determinants and dynamics of flood insurance purchase throughout different states and social backgrounds.

Abstract

Our project contributes to the field of behaviour-based authentication. In the last years we collected a great amount of walking sequences of several people. As this dataset is too large to be processed on a normal machine, we hope to evaluate and improve our authentication model by the support of additional resources.

Abstract

We want to evaluate how page replication as another management mechanism is worth the effort. The experiments are based on a patched linux kernel running on multi-socket NUMA systems. The outcome should be to identify possible workloads and data structures that likely benefit from the replication of pages.

Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally. Telemedicine interventions were shown to reduce the percentage of days lost due to unplanned cardiovascular hospital admissions and all-cause mortality. This project will train an AI-System that could help to scale such telemedical interventions by preprocessing and prioritizing.

Abstract

A vocal biomarker is a predictive function that reflects the state of the patient from voice in a cost-effective, instantaneous and non-intrusive way, from neurology to endocrinology. A vocal biomarker will implement a humanly interpretable convolutional neuronal network and enhanced via the integration of the stored patient and genomic data.

Abstract

Economic and business forecasting in turbulent times is hard, as data are nonstationary. Yet, the brain has mechanisms to deal with such challenges and neuroscience has uncovered some of them. Here we predict economic indicators by stochastically optimizing a neural circuit model for emotion dynamics, using only a handful of observations.

Abstract

Contact tracing is a key element in countering an epidemic. We propose a probabilistic network model that by exploiting interactions between individuals infers their probability of being infected. This will enhance the information available and will enable the design of more focused restriction and control policies and evaluate their effects.

Abstract

We want to examine a large artificial neural network in simulation of a system processing visual signals. Our first model was built of 4880 Hodgkin-Huxley neural cells. We now want to build a much larger 1 million-neuron system using a computational cluster and SAP HANA analytics platform for an in-memory processing of its readout signal.

The existing work on intrusion detection system using data mining and machine learning is based on static batch classifiers to detect intrusions irrespective of the regular data stream's time-varying characteristics. This research proposes an adaptive approach for online intrusion detection using stream-orient learning for adapting to concept drift.

The aim of this study is to identify optimization algorithms in the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) layer of the computing environment. As at this layer there are several Virtual Machine (VM) parameters with their corresponding tasks to play. The fine tuning at this level is hence expected to yield optimal usage of resources.
