Simulate Before Sending: Rethinking Transport in Datacenter Networks

Authors: Dan Straussman, Isaac Keslassy, Alexander Shpiner, and Liran Liss

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 139, 1st New Ideas in Networked Systems (NINeS 2026)

Abstract
Existing transport protocols in commodity datacenter networks struggle to provide low collective completion times (CCTs) to AI training collectives, as packet losses and retransmissions significantly degrade performance. We propose dcSim, an efficient transport that achieves low CCTs and practically lossless performance with commodity switches. In dcSim, each packet first employs a small simulation probe to traverse the network and explore congestion along a candidate path. Only packets whose simulation probes succeed are then transmitted, expecting to succeed as well. Evaluations confirm that dcSim achieves faster CCTs than existing schemes, with small queues and virtually zero packet loss. Finally, dcSim also excels in adverse conditions, including oversubscribed topologies.

Unsupervised Multimodal Learning for Fault Diagnosis and Prognosis - Application to Radiotherapy Systems (PhD Panel)

Authors: Kélian Poujade, Louise Travé-Massuyès, Jérémy Pirard, and Laure Vieillevigne

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 136, 36th International Conference on Principles of Diagnosis and Resilient Systems (DX 2025)

Abstract
Modern complex systems, such as radiotherapy machines, require robust strategies for fault detection, diagnosis, and prognosis to ensure operational continuity and patient safety. While data-driven methods have gained traction, few studies address diagnostic and prognostic tasks using multimodal operational data under unsupervised or semi-supervised learning settings. This gap is particularly critical given the scarcity of labeled failure data in real-world environments. This work aims to design a unified approach for fault detection, diagnosis, and prognosis using multimodal data in the absence of complete labeling. To this end, autoencoders (AEs) are employed due to their suitability for unsupervised and self-supervised learning, flexibility in handling heterogeneous data, and ability to construct latent representations optimized for various downstream tasks. A specific implementation based on a Long Short-Term Memory β-Variational Autoencoder (LSTM-β-VAE) was developed to detect anomalies in machine logs. This framework is applied to TomoTherapy® systems - a highly complex and under-explored use case within the radiotherapy domain. Initial results demonstrate strong anomaly detection performance on both a public benchmark dataset (HDFS) and a proprietary dataset derived from real-world TomoTherapy® machine faults. Beyond methodology, the paper includes a concise literature review of multimodal learning and data-driven diagnosis and prognosis with a focus on AEs. Based on this review, key research directions are identified for the continuation of the thesis, especially the integration of explainable AI as a means to enhance diagnosis capabilities in the absence of labeled faults.

Accommodating Space-Time Scaling Issues in GAM-Based Varying Coefficient Models

Authors: Alexis Comber, Paul Harris, and Chris Brunsdon

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 346, 13th International Conference on Geographic Information Science (GIScience 2025)

Abstract
The paper describes modifications to spatial and temporal varying coefficient (STVC) modelling, using Generalized Additive Models (GAMs). Previous work developed tools using Gaussian Process (GP) thin plate splines parameterised with location and time variables, and has presented a space-time toolkit in the stgam R package, providing wrapper functions to the mgcv R package. However, whilst thin plate smooths with GP bases are acceptable for working with spatial problems they are not for working with space and time combined. A more robust approach is to use a tensor product smooth with GP basis. However, these in turn require correlation function length scale or range parameters (ρ) to be defined. These are distances (in space or time) at which the correlation function falls below some value, and can be used to indicate the scale of spatial and temporal dependencies between response and predictor variables (similar to geographically weighted bandwidths). The paper describes the problem in detail, illustrates an approach for optimising ρ and methods for determining model specification.

A Hierarchical and Geographically Weighted Regression Model and Its Backfitting Maximum Likelihood Estimator (Short Paper)

Authors: Yigong Hu, Richard Harris, Richard Timmerman, and Binbin Lu

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 277, 12th International Conference on Geographic Information Science (GIScience 2023)

Abstract
Spatial heterogeneity is a typical and common form of spatial effect. Geographically weighted regression (GWR) and its extensions are important local modeling techniques for exploring spatial heterogeneity. However, when dealing with spatial data sampled at a micro-level but the geographical locations of them are only known at a higher level, GWR-based models encounter several problems, such as difficulty in establishing the bandwidth. Because data with this characteristic exhibit spatial hierarchical structures, such data can be suitably handled using hierarchical linear modeling (HLM). This model calibrates random effects for sample-level variables in each group to address spatial heterogeneity. However, it does not work when exploring spatial heterogeneity in some group-level variables when there is insufficient variance in each group. In this study, we therefore propose a hierarchical and geographically weighted regression (HGWR) model, together with a back-fitting maximum likelihood estimator, that can be applied to examine spatial heterogeneity in the regression relationships of data where observations nest into high-order groupings and share the same or very close coordinates within those groups. The HGWR model divides coefficients into three types: local fixed effects, global fixed effects, and random effects. Results of a simulation experiment show that HGWR distinguishes local fixed effects from others and also global effects from random effects. Spatial heterogeneity is reflected in the estimates of local fixed effects, along with the spatial hierarchical structure. Compared with GWR and HLM, HGWR produces estimates with the lowest deviations of coefficient estimates. Thus, the ability of HGWR to tackle both spatial and group-level heterogeneity simultaneously suggests its potential as a promising data modeling tool for handling the increasingly common occurrence where data, in secure settings for example, remove the specific geographic identifiers of individuals and release their locations only at a group level.

Introducing a General Framework for Locally Weighted Spatial Modelling Based on Density Regression (Short Paper)

Authors: Yigong Hu, Binbin Lu, Richard Harris, and Richard Timmerman

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 277, 12th International Conference on Geographic Information Science (GIScience 2023)

Abstract
Traditional geographically weighted regression and its extensions are important methods in the analysis of spatial heterogeneity. However, they are based on distance metrics and kernel functions compressing differences in multidimensional coordinates into one-dimensional values, which rarely consider anisotropy and employ inconsistent definitions of distance in spatio-temporal data or spatial line data (for example). This article proposes a general framework for locally weighted spatial modelling to overcome the drawbacks of existing models using geographically weighted schemes. Underpinning it is a multi-dimensional weighting scheme based on density regression that can be applied to data in any space and is not limited to geographic distance.

A Comparison of Geographically Weighted Principal Components Analysis Methodologies (Short Paper)

Authors: Narumasa Tsutsumida, Daisuke Murakami, Takahiro Yoshida, Tomoki Nakaya, Binbin Lu, Paul Harris, and Alexis Comber

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 240, 15th International Conference on Spatial Information Theory (COSIT 2022)

Abstract
Principal components analysis (PCA) is a useful analytical tool to represent key characteristics of multivariate data, but does not account for spatial effects when applied in geographical situations. A geographically weighted PCA (GWPCA) caters to this issue, specifically in terms of capturing spatial heterogeneity. However, in certain situations, a GWPCA provides outputs that vary discontinuously spatially, which are difficult to interpret and are not associated with the output from a conventional (global) PCA any more. This study underlines a GW non-negative PCA, a geographically weighted version of non-negative PCA, to overcome this issue by constraining loading values non-negatively. Case study results with a complex multivariate spatial dataset demonstrate such benefits, where GW non-negative PCA allows improved interpretations than that found with conventional GWPCA.
