Optimal Defender Strategies for CAGE-2 using Causal Modeling and Tree Search

no code implementations12 Jul 2024 Kim Hammar, Neil Dhir, Rolf Stadler

We address this limitation and present a formal (causal) model of CAGE-2 together with a method that produces a provably optimal defender strategy, which we call Causal Partially Observable Monte-Carlo Planning (C-POMCP).

Optimal Observation-Intervention Trade-Off in Optimisation Problems with Causal Structure

no code implementations5 Sep 2023 Kim Hammar, Neil Dhir

We give theoretical results detailing the structure of the optimal stopping times and demonstrate the generality of our approach by showing that it can be integrated with existing causal Bayesian optimisation algorithms.

Causal Entropy Optimization

no code implementations23 Aug 2022 Nicola Branchini, Virginia Aglietti, Neil Dhir, Theodoros Damoulas

We study the problem of globally optimizing the causal effect on a target variable of an unknown causal graph in which interventions can be performed.

Developing Optimal Causal Cyber-Defence Agents via Cyber Security Simulation

3 code implementations25 Jul 2022 Alex Andrew, Sam Spillard, Joshua Collyer, Neil Dhir

In this paper we explore cyber security defence, through the unification of a novel cyber security simulator with models for (causal) decision-making through optimisation.

Chronological Causal Bandits

no code implementations3 Dec 2021 Neil Dhir

This paper studies an instance of the multi-armed bandit (MAB) problem, specifically where several causal MABs operate chronologically in the same dynamical system.

Decision Making

Dynamic Causal Bayesian Optimization

1 code implementation NeurIPS 2021 Virginia Aglietti, Neil Dhir, Javier González, Theodoros Damoulas

This paper studies the problem of performing a sequence of optimal interventions in a causal dynamical system where both the target variable of interest and the inputs evolve over time.

Prospective Artificial Intelligence Approaches for Active Cyber Defence

no code implementations20 Apr 2021 Neil Dhir, Henrique Hoeltgebaum, Niall Adams, Mark Briers, Anthony Burke, Paul Jones

Cybercriminals are rapidly developing new malicious tools that leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to enable new classes of adaptive and stealthy attacks.

An Expectation-Based Network Scan Statistic for a COVID-19 Early Warning System

no code implementations8 Dec 2020 Chance Haycock, Edward Thorpe-Woods, James Walsh, Patrick O'Hara, Oscar Giles, Neil Dhir, Theodoros Damoulas

One of the Greater London Authority's (GLA) response to the COVID-19 pandemic brings together multiple large-scale and heterogeneous datasets capturing mobility, transportation and traffic activity over the city of London to better understand 'busyness' and enable targeted interventions and effective policy-making.

Near Real-Time Social Distance Estimation in London

no code implementations7 Dec 2020 James Walsh, Oluwafunmilola Kesa, Andrew Wang, Mihai Ilas, Patrick O'Hara, Oscar Giles, Neil Dhir, Mark Girolami, Theodoros Damoulas

During the COVID-19 pandemic, policy makers at the Greater London Authority, the regional governance body of London, UK, are reliant upon prompt and accurate data sources.

Identifying robust markers of Parkinson's disease in typing behaviour using a CNN-LSTM network

no code implementations CONLL 2020 Neil Dhir, Mathias Edman, {\'A}lvaro Sanchez Ferro, Tom Stafford, Colin Bannard

There is urgent need for non-intrusive tests that can detect early signs of Parkinson{'}s disease (PD), a debilitating neurodegenerative disorder that affects motor control.

Boltzmann Exploration Expectation–Maximisation

1 code implementation arXiv 2019 Mathias Edman, Neil Dhir

While effective, the success of any monotone algorithm is crucially dependant on good parameter initialisation, where a common choice is K-means initialisation, commonly employed for Gaussian mixture models.
