Bounded Reasoning: Cognitive Hierarchy in Human-versus-AI Cyber Defense
Zahra Aref, Sheng Wei, Narayan B. Mandayam
Human-agent evaluations often compress interaction into a single performance score, even when human and automated policies adapt differently over time. We study this in a sequentia…
Age and Stability Trade-offs in Remote Monitoring Systems
Nitya Sathyavageeswaran, Anand D. Sarwate, Roy D. Yates +1
Timely information is important in a wide variety of Internet of Things (IoT) services in which a shared server must manage two competing tasks: (i) processing a queue of jobs, and…
Balancing Timeliness and Privacy in Discrete-Time Updating Systems
Nitya Sathyavageeswaran, Anand D. Sarwate, Narayan B. Mandayam +1
We study the trade-off between Age of Information (AoI) and maximal leakage (MaxL) in discrete-time status updating systems. A source generates time-stamped update packets that are…
Mental Accounts for Actions: EWA-Inspired Attention in Decision Transformers
Zahra Aref, Narayan B. Mandayam
Transformers have emerged as a compelling architecture for sequential decision-making by modeling trajectories via self-attention. In reinforcement learning (RL), they enable retur…
Human-AI Collaboration in Cloud Security: Cognitive Hierarchy-Driven Deep Reinforcement Learning
Zahra Aref, Sheng Wei, Narayan B. Mandayam
Given the complexity of multi-tenant cloud environments and the growing need for real-time threat mitigation, Security Operations Centers (SOCs) must adopt AI-driven adaptive defen…
Programming Wireless Security through Learning-Aided Spatiotemporal Digital Coding Metamaterial Antenna
Alireza Nooraiepour, Shaghayegh Vosoughitabar, Chung-Tse Michael Wu +2
The advancement of future large-scale wireless networks necessitates the development of cost-effective and scalable security solutions. Conventional cryptographic methods, due to t…
