A Hitting Time Analysis for Stochastic Time-Varying Functions with Applications to Adversarial Attacks on Computation of Markov Decision Processes
Ali Yekkehkhany, Han Feng, Donghao Ying +1
Stochastic time-varying optimization is an integral part of learning in which the shape of the function changes over time in a non-deterministic manner. This paper considers multip…
Risk-Averse Equilibrium for Autonomous Vehicles in Stochastic Congestion Games
Ali Yekkehkhany, Rakesh Nagi
The fast-growing market of autonomous vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles, and fleets in general necessitates the design of smart and automatic navigation systems considering the st…
Prob2Vec: Mathematical Semantic Embedding for Problem Retrieval in Adaptive Tutoring
Du Su, Ali Yekkehkhany, Yi Lu +1
We propose a new application of embedding techniques for problem retrieval in adaptive tutoring. The objective is to retrieve problems whose mathematical concepts are similar. Ther…
Risk-Averse Equilibrium for Games
Ali Yekkehkhany, Timothy Murray, Rakesh Nagi
The term rational has become synonymous with maximizing expected payoff in the definition of the best response in Nash setting. In this work, we consider stochastic games in which…
Risk-Averse Explore-Then-Commit Algorithms for Finite-Time Bandits
Ali Yekkehkhany, Ebrahim Arian, Mohammad Hajiesmaili +1
In this paper, we study multi-armed bandit problems in explore-then-commit setting. In our proposed explore-then-commit setting, the goal is to identify the best arm after a pure e…
Blind GB-PANDAS: A Blind Throughput-Optimal Load Balancing Algorithm for Affinity Scheduling
Ali Yekkehkhany, Rakesh Nagi
Dynamic affinity load balancing of multi-type tasks on multi-skilled servers, when the service rate of each task type on each of the servers is known and can possibly be different…
GB-PANDAS: Throughput and heavy-traffic optimality analysis for affinity scheduling
Ali Yekkehkhany, Avesta Hojjati, Mohammad H Hajiesmaili
Dynamic affinity scheduling has been an open problem for nearly three decades. The problem is to dynamically schedule multi-type tasks to multi-skilled servers such that the result…
A Mobile Geo-Communication Dataset for Physiology-Aware DASH in Rural Ambulance Transport
Mohammad Hosseini, Yu Jiang, Ali Yekkehkhany +2
Use of telecommunication technologies for remote, continuous monitoring of patients can enhance effectiveness of emergency ambulance care during transport from rural areas to a reg…
Near-Data Scheduling for Data Centers with Multiple Levels of Data Locality
Ali Yekkehkhany
Data locality is a fundamental issue for data-parallel applications. Considering MapReduce in Hadoop, the map task scheduling part requires an efficient algorithm which takes data…
A Covert Queueing Channel in Round Robin Schedulers
AmirEmad Ghassami, Ali Yekkehkhany, Negar Kiyavash
We study a covert queueing channel (CQC) between two users sharing a round robin scheduler. Such a covert channel can arise when users share a resource such as a computer processor…
