Robust Path Selection in Software-defined WANs using Deep Reinforcement Learning

no code implementations21 Dec 2022 Shahrooz Pouryousef, Lixin Gao, Don Towsley

In the context of an efficient network traffic engineering process where the network continuously measures a new traffic matrix and updates the set of paths in the network, an automated process is required to quickly and efficiently identify when and what set of paths should be used.

Quickest Change Detection in the Presence of Transient Adversarial Attacks

no code implementations7 Jun 2022 Thirupathaiah Vasantam, Don Towsley, Venugopal V. Veeravalli

We study a monitoring system in which the distributions of sensors' observations change from a nominal distribution to an abnormal distribution in response to an adversary's presence.

To Collaborate or Not in Distributed Statistical Estimation with Resource Constraints?

no code implementations31 May 2022 Yu-Zhen Janice Chen, Daniel S. Menasche, Don Towsley

We study how the amount of correlation between observations collected by distinct sensors/learners affects data collection and collaboration strategies by analyzing Fisher information and the Cramer-Rao bound.

Distributed Bandits with Heterogeneous Agents

no code implementations23 Jan 2022 Lin Yang, Yu-Zhen Janice Chen, Mohammad Hajiesmaili, John CS Lui, Don Towsley

The goal for each agent is to find its optimal local arm, and agents can cooperate by sharing their observations with others.

Cooperative Stochastic Bandits with Asynchronous Agents and Constrained Feedback

no code implementations NeurIPS 2021 Lin Yang, Yu-Zhen Janice Chen, Stephen Pasteris, Mohammad Hajiesmaili, John C. S. Lui, Don Towsley

This paper studies a cooperative multi-armed bandit problem with $M$ agents cooperating together to solve the same instance of a $K$-armed stochastic bandit problem with the goal of maximizing the cumulative reward of agents.

Selective Harvesting over Networks

no code implementations15 Mar 2017 Fabricio Murai, Diogo Rennó, Bruno Ribeiro, Gisele L. Pappa, Don Towsley, Krista Gile

We find that it is possible to collect a much larger set of targets by using multiple classifiers, not by combining their predictions as an ensemble, but switching between classifiers used at each step, as a way to ease the tunnel vision effect.
