On Solving Close Enough Orienteering Problem with Overlapped Neighborhoods

no code implementations6 Oct 2023 Qiuchen Qian, Yanran Wang, David Boyle

To tackle CEOP and CEOP-N, we develop a new approach featuring a Randomized Steiner Zone Discretization (RSZD) scheme coupled with a hybrid algorithm based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Ant Colony System (ACS), CRaSZe-AntS.

Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning with Action Masking for UAV-enabled Mobile Communications

1 code implementation29 Mar 2023 Danish Rizvi, David Boyle

Simulation results confirm that: 1) training a shared DQN outperforms a conventional DQN in terms of maximum system throughput (+20%) and training time (-10%); 2) it can converge for agents with different action spaces, yielding a 9% increase in throughput compared to mutual learning algorithms; and 3) combining NOMA with an SDQN architecture enables the network to achieve a better sum rate compared with existing baseline schemes.

Paralinguistic Privacy Protection at the Edge

no code implementations4 Nov 2020 Ranya Aloufi, Hamed Haddadi, David Boyle

One approach to mitigate the risk of paralinguistic-based privacy breaches is to exploit a combination of cloud-based processing with privacy-preserving, on-device paralinguistic information learning and filtering before transmitting voice data.

Privacy-preserving Voice Analysis via Disentangled Representations

no code implementations29 Jul 2020 Ranya Aloufi, Hamed Haddadi, David Boyle

Our experimental evaluation over five datasets shows that the proposed framework can effectively defend against attribute inference attacks by reducing their success rates to approximately that of guessing at random, while maintaining accuracy in excess of 99% for the tasks of interest.
