Physical adversarial examples pose a concrete threat to real-world computer vision systems. Existing works mainly generate physical adversarial examples by affixing patches or projecting light onto targets, which are usually visible and can expose the malicious intention. In this work, we reveal a n
We study the finite-horizon Restless Multi-Armed Bandit (RMAB) problem with $N$ homogeneous arms. Prior work has shown that when an RMAB satisfies a non-degeneracy condition, Linear-Programming-based (LP-based) policies derived from the fluid approximation, which captures the mean dynamics of the sy…
The rise of new industries, such as the Internet of Things and Smart Healthcare, has brought many cross-cloud business opportunities for cloud computing and posed new challenges to the cloud security. Traditionally, security can be assessed by compliance checking when selecting cloud services. Howev…
Human language learners are exposed to a trickle of informative, context-sensitive language, but a flood of raw sensory data. Through both social language use and internal processes of rehearsal and practice, language learners are able to build high-level, semantic representations that explain their…
Inferring the abstract relational and causal structure of the world is a major challenge for reinforcement-learning (RL) agents. For humans, language{—}particularly in the form of explanations{—}plays a considerable role in overcoming this challenge. Here, we show that language can play a similar ro…
