Efficient Automated Deep Learning for Time Series Forecasting
Recent years have witnessed tremendously improved efficiency of Automated
Machine Learning (AutoML), especially Automated Deep Learning (AutoDL) systems,
but recent work focuses on tabular, image, or NLP tasks. So far, little
attention has been paid to general AutoDL frameworks for time series
forecasting, despite the enormous success in applying different novel
architectures to such tasks. In this paper, we propose an efficient approach
for the joint optimization of neural architecture and hyperparameters of the
entire data processing pipeline for time series forecasting. In contrast to
common NAS search spaces, we designed a novel neural architecture search space
covering various state-of-the-art architectures, allowing for an efficient
macro-search over different DL approaches. To efficiently search in such a
large configuration space, we use Bayesian optimization with multi-fidelity
optimization. We empirically study several different budget types enabling
efficient multi-fidelity optimization on different forecasting datasets.
Furthermore, we compared our resulting system, dubbed \system, against several
established baselines and show that it significantly outperforms all of them
across several datasets
Assessment of manual dexterity in VR: Towards a fully automated version of the box and blocks test

In recent years, the possibility of using serious gaming technology for the automation of clinical procedures for assessment of motor function have captured the interest of the research community. In this paper, a virtual version of the Box and Blocks Test (BBT) for manual dexterity assessment is presented. This game-like system combines the classical BBT mechanics with a play-centric approach to accomplish a fully automated test for assessing hand motor function, making it more accessible and easier to administer. Additionally, some variants of the traditional mechanics are proposed in order to fully exploit the advantages of the chosen technology. This ongoing research aims to provide the clinical practitioners with a customisable, intuitive, and reliable tool for the assessment and rehabilitation of hand motor function

A Perspective on NASA Ames Air Traffic Management Research
This paper describes past and present air-traffic-management research at NASA Ames Research Center. The descriptions emerge from the perspective of a technical manager who supervised the majority of this research for the last four years. Past research contributions built a foundation for calculating accurate flight trajectories to enable efficient airspace management in time. That foundation led to two predominant research activities that continue to this day - one in automatically separating aircraft and the other in optimizing traffic flows. Today s national airspace uses many of the applications resulting from research at Ames. These applications include the nationwide deployment of the Traffic Management Advisor, new procedures enabling continuous descent arrivals, cooperation with industry to permit more direct flights to downstream way-points, a surface management system in use by two cargo carriers, and software to evaluate how well flights conform to national traffic management initiatives. The paper concludes with suggestions for prioritized research in the upcoming years. These priorities include: enabling more first-look operational evaluations, improving conflict detection and resolution for climbing or descending aircraft, and focusing additional attention on the underpinning safety critical items such as a reliable datalink
