SwinWave-SR: Multi-scale lightweight underwater image super-resolution

Fayaz Ali Dharejo, Iyyakutti Iyappan Ganapathi, Muhammad Zawish, Basit Alawode, Moath Alathbah, Naoufel Werghi, Sajid Javed

Summary: The resource-limited nature of underwater vision equipment affects underwater robotics and ocean engineering tasks. Super-resolution methods, particularly using Vision Transformers (ViTs), have emerged to enhance low-resolution underwater images. However, ViTs face challenges in handling severe degradation in underwater imaging. In contrast, Multi-scale ViTs (MViTs) overcome these challenges by preserving long-range dependencies through evolving channel capacity. This study proposes a novel algorithm, SwinWave-SR, for efficient and accurate multi-scale super-resolution for underwater images.

Distributed runtime verification of metric temporal properties

Ritam Ganguly, Yingjie Xue, Aaron Jonckheere, Parker Ljung, Benjamin Schornstein, Borzoo Bonakdarpour, Maurice Herlihy

Summary: This paper presents a centralized runtime monitoring technique for distributed systems, which verifies the correctness of distributed computations by exploiting bounded-skew clock synchronization. By introducing a progression-based formula rewriting scheme and utilizing SMT solving techniques, the metric temporal logic can be monitored and the probabilistic guarantee for verification results can be calculated. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of this technique in different application scenarios.

ML-driven risk estimation for memory failure in a data center environment with convolutional neural networks, self-supervised data labeling and distribution-based model drift determination

Tim Breitenbach, Shrikanth Malavalli Divakar, Lauritz Rasbach, Patrick Jahnke

Summary: With the trend towards multi-socket server systems, the demand for RAM per server has increased, resulting in more DIMM sockets per server. RAM issues have become a dominant failure pattern for servers due to the probability of failure in each DIMM. This study introduces an ML-driven framework to estimate the probability of memory failure for each RAM module. The framework utilizes structural information between correctable (CE) and uncorrectable errors (UE) and engineering measures to mitigate the impact of UE.

Generation and detection of manipulated multimodal audiovisual content: Advances, trends and open challenges☆

Helena Liz-Lopez, Mamadou Keita, Abdelmalik Taleb-Ahmed, Abdenour Hadid, Javier Huertas-Tato, David Camacho

Summary: Generative deep learning techniques have been widely discussed in the public, but the slow progress in applying these techniques to counter disinformation is concerning. With the ease and credibility of manipulating multimedia content, developing effective forensic techniques becomes invaluable. This survey comprehensively describes modern manipulation and forensic techniques, focusing on their applications in video, audio, and multimodal fusion. The classification of manipulation techniques and the generation of datasets using generative techniques are provided for forensic purposes. The review and comparative analysis of forensic techniques from 2018 to 2023, as well as the comparison of end-to-end forensic tools for end-users, are presented. Clear trends and challenges, such as multilinguality, multimodality, and improving data quality, are identified for future research in an ever-changing adversarial environment.
