Deep generative models for network data synthesis and monitoring
Measurement and monitoring are fundamental tasks in all networks, enabling the down-stream management and optimization of the network.
Although networks inherently
have abundant amounts of monitoring data, its access and effective measurement is
another story. The challenges exist in many aspects. First, the inaccessibility of network monitoring data for external users, and it is hard to provide a high-fidelity dataset
without leaking commercial sensitive information. Second, it could be very expensive
to carry out effective data collection to cover a large-scale network system, considering the size of network growing, i.e., cell number of radio network and the number of
flows in the Internet Service Provider (ISP) network. Third, it is difficult to ensure fidelity and efficiency simultaneously in network monitoring, as the available resources
in the network element that can be applied to support the measurement function are
too limited to implement sophisticated mechanisms. Finally, understanding and explaining the behavior of the network becomes challenging due to its size and complex
structure. Various emerging optimization-based solutions (e.g., compressive sensing)
or data-driven solutions (e.g. deep learning) have been proposed for the aforementioned challenges. However, the fidelity and efficiency of existing methods cannot yet
meet the current network requirements.
The contributions made in this thesis significantly advance the state of the art in
the domain of network measurement and monitoring techniques. Overall, we leverage
cutting-edge machine learning technology, deep generative modeling, throughout the
entire thesis. First, we design and realize APPSHOT , an efficient city-scale network
traffic sharing with a conditional generative model, which only requires open-source
contextual data during inference (e.g., land use information and population distribution). Second, we develop an efficient drive testing system β GENDT, based on generative model, which combines graph neural networks, conditional generation, and quantified model uncertainty to enhance the efficiency of mobile drive testing. Third, we
design and implement DISTILGAN, a high-fidelity, efficient, versatile, and real-time
network telemetry system with latent GANs and spectral-temporal networks. Finally,
we propose SPOTLIGHT , an accurate, explainable, and efficient anomaly detection system of the Open RAN (Radio Access Network) system. The lessons learned through
this research are summarized, and interesting topics are discussed for future work in
this domain. All proposed solutions have been evaluated with real-world datasets and
applied to support different applications in real systems
Three Risky Decades: A Time for Econophysics?
Our Special Issue we publish at a turning point, which we have not dealt with since World War II. The interconnected long-term global shocks such as the coronavirus pandemic, the war in Ukraine, and catastrophic climate change have imposed significant humanitary, socio-economic, political, and environmental restrictions on the globalization process and all aspects of economic and social life including the existence of individual people. The planet is trappedβthe current situation seems to be the prelude to an apocalypse whose long-term effects we will have for decades. Therefore, it urgently requires a concept of the planet's survival to be builtβonly on this basis can the conditions for its development be created. The Special Issue gives evidence of the state of econophysics before the current situation. Therefore, it can provide excellent econophysics or an inter-and cross-disciplinary starting point of a rational approach to a new era

Urban Informatics
This open access book is the first to systematically introduce the principles of urban informatics and its application to every aspect of the city that involves its functioning, control, management, and future planning. It introduces new models and tools being developed to understand and implement these technologies that enable cities to function more efficiently β to become βsmartβ and βsustainableβ. The smart city has quickly emerged as computers have become ever smaller to the point where they can be embedded into the very fabric of the city, as well as being central to new ways in which the population can communicate and act. When cities are wired in this way, they have the potential to become sentient and responsive, generating massive streams of βbigβ data in real time as well as providing immense opportunities for extracting new forms of urban data through crowdsourcing. This book offers a comprehensive review of the methods that form the core of urban informatics from various kinds of urban remote sensing to new approaches to machine learning and statistical modelling. It provides a detailed technical introduction to the wide array of tools information scientists need to develop the key urban analytics that are fundamental to learning about the smart city, and it outlines ways in which these tools can be used to inform design and policy so that cities can become more efficient with a greater concern for environment and equity

Because an episodic event often entails memories for certain places associated with their emotional and motivational significance, it is promising that the hippocampus processes spatial information in conjunction with its associated valence. Among the hippocampal subregions (i.e., dorsal, intermediate, and ventral), the amygdala, which plays key roles in processing valence information, sends direct axonal projection to the intermediate and ventral hippocampus. Also, there are extensive recurrent collaterals and associational projections (presumably spatial information) from the dorsal hippocampus to the intermediate hippocampus. Thus, the intermediate hippocampus may integrate emotional/motivational information in association with locational information. However, it is largely unknown that how the intermediate hippocampus process value-associated spatial information processing. Therefore, I hypothesized that encoding the value of an event at a specific location takes priority in the intermediate hippocampus, compared to the dorsal hippocampus, whose priority resides in representing the precise location of an animal, presumably in the cognitive map. To test this hypothesis, I simultaneously recorded single units from the dorsal and intermediate hippocampus while rats performed a battery of tasks in which the level of motivational significance of a place was controlled by foods with different palatability.
In this dissertation of Chapter 1, I examined the changes in spatial firing patterns along the dorsoventral axis while rats foraged in an open field maze. Specifically, spatially selective firing was more eminent in the dorsal than in the intermediate hippocampus, and spatial signals were hardly observed in the ventral hippocampus. In Chapter 2, after changes in reward value during non-mnemonic tasks, differential global remappings of place cells were found between the dorsal and intermediate hippocampus. When more-palatable reward (i.e., sunflower seeds) were replaced with less-palatable one (Cheerios) in a given location, place cells in the intermediate hippocampus remapped immediately. In contrast, place fields recorded from the dorsal hippocampus maintained their spatial representations stably in the same manipulation. In Chapter 3, value-dependent remappings were further investigated in hippocampal-dependent tasks. During the place-preference task in the T-maze, place fields obtained from the intermediate hippocampus accumulated near the arm associated with more-preferred rewards, and overrepresented patterns shifted toward opposite arm after the locations of more-preferred and less-preferred rewards were reversed. However, spatial representations of place cells in the dorsal hippocampus were rarely affected by such manipulation. And, during the acquisition of the place-preference task, the ensemble network state in the iHP changed faster than that in the dHP.
Taken together, our results suggest that there are functional segregations between the dorsal and intermediate subregions of the hippocampus. That is, the dorsal hippocampus is specialized in representing the animal's precise locations in the environment, whereas the intermediate hippocampus takes part in the integration of spatial information and its motivational values. These findings imply that the intermediate hippocampus is a functionally significant hippocampal subregion through which critical action-related information (i.e., spatial information from the dorsal hippocampus and emotional/motivational information from the amygdala) is integrated and communicated to the rest of the brain via the medial prefrontal cortex.BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESIS. 1
