Anytime motion planners are widely used in robotics. However, the relationship between their solution quality and computation time is not well understood, and thus, determining when to quit planning and start execution is unclear. In this paper, we a...
In this paper we take closer look at recent developments for the chase procedure, and provide additional results. Our analysis allows us create a taxonomy of the chase variations and the properties they satisfy. Two of the most central problems regar...
Securing blockchain-enabled IoT networks against sophisticated adversarial attacks remains a critical challenge. This paper presents a trust-based delegated consensus framework integrating Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) with Attribute-Based Acces...
Rough sleeping is a chronic problem faced by some of the most disadvantaged people in modern society. This paper describes work carried out in partnership with Homeless Link, a UK-based charity, in developing a data-driven approach to assess the qual...
This paper presents a study on the growing threat of "sleeper social bots," AI-driven social bots in the political landscape, created to spread disinformation and manipulate public opinion. We based the name sleeper social bots on their ability to pa...

The paper examines relationships between the conditional Shannon entropy and the expectation of $\ell_α$-norm for joint probability distributions. More precisely, we investigate the tight bounds of the expectation of $\ell_α$-norm with a fixed cond...
and was introduced in January 2015 in a paper entitled "Heads-up limit hold’em poker is solved", published in Science by Michael Bowling, Neil Burch, Michael
In this paper we analyze the FIA formula one world championships from 2012 to 2022 taking into account the drivers classifications and the constructors teams classifications of each Grand Prix. The needed data consisted of 22 matrices of sizes rangin...
In this paper (as in [Ken15]), we consider an effective version of the characterization of separable metric spaces as zero-dimensional iff every nonempty closed subset is a retract of the space (actually, it is a relative result for closed zero-dimen...
TOPCAT and STILTS are mature Java desktop applications for working with tabular data that have always had a focus on efficiency for large or very large data sets. This paper presents some progress, experience and lessons learned from efforts over rec...
TOPCAT and STILTS are related packages for desktop analysis of tabular data, presenting GUI and command-line interfaces respectively to much of the same functionality. This paper presents features in TOPCAT that facilitate use of STILTS....
Expresso was founded in Lisbon under the old regime (in 1973) and became the country's first successful weekly paper.
The paper by C. Bradac et al. [Nat. Commun. 8, 1205 (2017)] discusses room-temperature superradiance from NV color centers in diamonds. It presents a new model intended to reflect experimental characteristics of this phenomenon. To validate the model...
In this paper, we conduct an empirical study on remote DoS attacks targeting NAT networks. We show that Internet attackers operating outside local NAT networks can remotely identify a NAT device and subsequently terminate TCP connections initiated fr...
Carrier Grade NAT (CGN) mechanisms enable ISPs to share a single IPv4 address across multiple customers, thus offering an immediate solution to the IPv4 address scarcity problem. In this paper, we perform a large scale active measurement campaign to...
In recent times, the prevalence of home NATs and the widespread implementation of Carrier-Grade NATs have posed significant challenges to various applications, particularly those relying on Peer-to-Peer communication. This paper addresses these issue...
Jun 16, 2025 · In this white paper, we present AlphaEvolve, an evolutionary coding agent that substantially enhances capabilities of state-of-the-art LLMs on highly challenging tasks such as …
While preference modelling is becoming one of the pillars of machine learning, the problem of preference explanation remains challenging and underexplored. In this paper, we propose \textsc{Pref-SHAP}, a Shapley value-based model explanation framewor...
This paper explores novel approaches for improving the spatial codification for the pooling of local descriptors to solve the semantic segmentation problem. We propose to partition the image into three regions for each object to be described: Figure,...
