The generation of Gaussian random fields over a physical domain is a challenging problem in computational mathematics, especially when the correlation length is short and the field is rough. The traditional approach is to make use of a truncated Karhunen-Loeve (KL) expansion, but the generation of even a single realisation of the field may then be effectively beyond reach (especially for 3-dimensional domains) if the need is to obtain an expected L2 error of say 5%, because of the potentially very slow convergence of the KL expansion. In this talk, based on joint work with Ivan Graham, Frances Kuo, Dirk Nuyens, and Rob Scheichl, a completely different approach is used, in which the field is initially generated at a regular grid on a 2- or 3-dimensional rectangle that contains the physical domain, and then possibly interpolated to obtain the field at other points. In that case there is no need for any truncation. Rather the main problem becomes the factorisation of a large dense matrix. For this we use circulant embedding and FFT ideas. Quasi-Monte Carlo integration is then used to evaluate the expected value of some functional of the finite-element solution of an elliptic PDE with a random field as input.
It's the deck for one Hulu internal machine learning workshop, which introduces the background, theory and application of expectation propagation method.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.
Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.
2. Outline
• Probability
– How probability is defined
– cdf and pdf
– Mean and variance
Joint distribution
– Central limit theorem
• Random processes
– Definition
– Stationary random processes
– Power spectral density
3. Why Probability/Random Process?
• Probability is the core mathematical tool for communication
theory.
• The stochastic model is widely used in the study of
communication systems.
• Consider a radio communication system where the received
signal is a random process in nature:
– Message is random. No randomness, no information.
– Interference is random.
– Noise is a random process.
– And many more (delay, phase, fading, ...)
• Other real-world applications of probability and random
processes include
– Stock market modelling, gambling etc
4. Probabilistic Concepts
• What is a random variable (RV)?
– It is a variable that takes its values from the outputs of a random
experiment.
• What is a random experiment?
– It is an experiment the outcome of which cannot be predicted
precisely.
– All possible identifiable outcomes of a random experiment
constitute its sample space S.
– An event is a collection of possible outcomes of the random
experiment.
• Example
– For tossing a coin, S = { H, T }
– For rolling a die, S = { 1, 2, …, 6 }
5.
6. Probability Properties
• PX(xi): the probability of the random variable X taking on
the value xi
• The probability of an event to happen is a non-negative
number, with the following properties:
– The probability of the event that includes all possible outcomes of
the experiment is 1.
– The probability of two events that do not have any common
outcome is the sum of the probabilities of the two events
separately.
• Example
– Roll a die: PX(x = k) = 1/6 for k = 1, 2, …, 6
7. Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF)
• The (cumulative) distribution function (cdf) of a random variable X
is defined as the probability of X taking a value less than the
argument x:
FX (x) = P( X x)
• Properties
FX (−) = 0, FX () =1
FX (x1 ) FX(x2 ) if x1x2

the cumulative distribution function:
dFX ( x )
X dx
f X ( y)dy
f (x) =
x
FX ( x) =
a
f X ( y)dy

• For i.i.d. random variables,
z = x1 + x2 +· · ·+ xn
tends to Gaussian as n
goes to infinity.
• Extremely useful in
communications.
• That’s why noise is usually
Gaussian. We often say
Gaussian noise or
“Gaussian channel” in
communications.

38. What is a Random Process?
• A random process is a time-varying function that assigns
the outcome of a random experiment to each time instant:
X(t).
• For a fixed (sample path): a random process is a time
varying function, e.g., a signal.
• For fixed t: a random process is a random variable.
• If one scans all possible outcomes of the underlying
random experiment, we shall get an ensemble of signals.
• Noise can often be modelled as a Gaussian random
process.
42. Power Spectral Density
• Power spectral density (PSD) is a function that measures
the distribution of power of a random process with
frequency.
• PSD is only defined for stationary processes.
• Wiener-Khinchine relation: The PSD is equal to the
Fourier transform of its autocorrelation function:
X
X
−
R ( )e− j 2 f
d
S ( f ) =
– A similar relation exists for deterministic signals
• Then the average power can be found as
X X
S ( f )df
−
P = E[ X 2
(t)]= R (0) =
• The frequency content of a process depends on how
rapidly the amplitude changes as a function of time.
– This can be measured by the autocorrelation function.
43.
44. Passing Through a Linear System
• Let Y(t) obtained by passing random process X(t) through
a linear system of transfer function H(f). Then the PSD of
Y(t) 2
SY ( f ) = H (f ) SX ( f ) (2.1)
• If X(t) is a Gaussian process, then Y(t) is also a Gaussian
process.
– Gaussian processes are very important in communications.
