I'm a member of ACM SIGCOMM and think this paper should be stapled to the heads of some of the regulatory community (no names..) These are the fundamentals. https://lnkd.in/gMFXDTwJ

Our #OpenMutualLearning from #IGARSS2024 is out on #IEEE Xplore. #OpenStreetMap envisioned a worldwide #buildingfootprint dataset with community inputs for a while. Now, #Google and #Microsoft have created worldwide datasets with #CNNs trained on #remotesensing images. They all share a common problem - the datasets are always incomplete and updating them requires extra $$$. Our paper has devised a method to leverage the publicly available incomplete datasets and commercially available quasi-complete datasets to train multiple "Student networks" in a collaborative manner. The networks share each other's learnings during the training process to improve their performance. The sharing of learnings resulted in the improvement of the models trained on the incomplete datasets. The findings benefit anyone interested in creating large-scale inventories of #urbanenvironments and #digitaltwins.

UK government scraps exascale supercomputer funding The newly elected UK government has halted plans to invest £1.3bn in HPC and AI projects, including £800 million for an exascale supercomputer at the The University of Edinburgh's EPCC. Despite £31 million already spent on the project, the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) stated the funds were never allocated in the budget. Professor Sir Peter Mathieson, Principal of the University, seeks an urgent meeting with the Secretary of State to discuss the project's future. The DSIT defended its decision, citing the need for tough spending cuts to restore economic stability, but emphasised its commitment to technology infrastructure. High-performance computing (HPC) is crucial for advancing scientific research and industry. The UK lags behind other European nations with tier-0 HPC systems, essential for competing globally. The EuroHPC JU initiative continues to strengthen Europe's supercomputing capabilities, boosting scientific and industrial growth. hashtag #HPC #AI #Supercomputing #Exascale #UniversityOfEdinburgh #TechFunding #EconomicStability #EuroHPC #ScientificResearch #InnovationCuts https://lnkd.in/eHYFUbWN

While different terms are used in different countries, there is a shared concern with the fate of such lagging areas. This online seminar is based on a cross-national research project that has sought to get beyond the overarching’ label of ‘left behind places’ through in-depth research in France, Germany and the United Kingdom (UK). In the first part of the seminar, the research team will present key emerging findings from this cross-national project. In the second part of the seminar, leading researchers and policy-makers will offer reflections on, and suggestions for, new policy approaches to address the ‘left behind’ condition.

Interesting study. I need to read it in more detail, but at first sight it doesn’t address the distinctive ways in which creative and cultural sectors innovate

Howdy! Here a very useful and interesting paper about applied technologies that are the future of the internet. Even though it is a 2019 paper, this still applies today; https://lnkd.in/dB2ZMVgs

In this paper, the authors first analyze the optimal scheduling condition for maintaining control stability of a #wireless #networked #control #systems (#WNCS) and then formulate a long-term optimization problem that jointly optimizes the access policy of edge devices, and grant policy and resource allocation at the edge server. They employ Lyapunov optimization to decompose the long-term optimization problem into a sequence of independent sub-problems, and propose a heterogeneous attention graph based multi-agent deep reinforcement learning algorithm that jointly optimizes the access and resource allocation policy. By leveraging the attention mechanism to project the graph representations from heterogeneous agents into a unified space, their proposed algorithm facilitates coordination among heterogeneous agents, thereby enhancing the overall system performance. ---- Zixin Wang, Mehdi Bennis, Yong Zhou More details can be found at this link: https://lnkd.in/ekCuj9C9
