Computer Vision Integration for Automated Piece Positioning in an Industry 4.0 Setup

Authors: Augusto de Souza, Alexandre dos Santos Roque, Carlos Eduardo Pereira, and Edison Pignaton de Freitas

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 140, 7th Workshop on Next Generation Real-Time Embedded Systems (NG-RES 2026)

Abstract
This paper presents the design and development of an alternative, cost-effective automated piece positioning system, specifically tailored for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), which integrates computer vision with EtherCAT-controlled servo motors. The proposed method combines a robust vision system with an AI-enhanced algorithm based on edge detection to precisely identify object contours. This enables a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to control the servo motor, adjusting the piece’s angle with high accuracy. Experimental results demonstrate the solution’s practical viability, achieving a minimal angular oscillation of less than 0.0012° and a promising low image processing time of approximately 20ms, showcasing its potential for enhancing manufacturing efficiency and quality in industrial applications.

Integrated Memory Grouping and Power-Aware MBIST Scheduling for MPSoCs

Authors: Koki Asahina and Yasuhiko Nakashima

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 140, 7th Workshop on Next Generation Real-Time Embedded Systems (NG-RES 2026)

Abstract
Memory Built-In Self-Test (MBIST) is a widely adopted technique for testing memory. In modern large-scale SoCs, hundreds to thousands of embedded memories are integrated, and to test them efficiently, methods that group memories and test them in parallel within each group are employed. However, many existing approaches either do not account for test scheduling or rely on evolutionary methods, such as genetic algorithms (GAs), for grouping, which incur high computational costs. In this work, we propose a framework that covers the flow from memory grouping to test scheduling. Taking the specifications and layout information of multiple SRAMs into account, the framework comprises a flexible, fast memory grouping method and a scheduling method that minimizes the total test time under a power-constrained constraint. In the proposed approach, DBSCAN and rectangular partitioning are used to perform fast grouping while suppressing long routing connections, and an LPT-based greedy heuristic is employed to shorten the total test time under constraints on the power limit and the number of simultaneously active BIST controllers. Experimental evaluation using SRAM placement data based on the ASAP7 PDK shows that, compared with existing K-means, Greedy, and GA-based methods, the proposed method reduces the number of groups by up to 48% while achieving approximately 87× speedup in clustering runtime. Furthermore, compared with a commercial Industrial Solution, it reduces the test time by 53%. These results demonstrate that the proposed method provides high scalability and practical effectiveness for MBIST design, even in large-scale MPSoCs with a large number and variety of embedded memories.

A Simple and Robust Protocol for Distributed Counting

Authors: Edith Cohen, Moshe Shechner, and Uri Stemmer

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 362, 17th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2026)

Abstract
We revisit the distributed counting problem, where a server must continuously approximate the total number of events occurring across k sites while minimizing communication. The communication complexity of this problem is known to be Θ(k/(ε)log N) for deterministic protocols. Huang, Yi, and Zhang (2012) showed that randomization can reduce this to Θ((√k)/ε log N), but their analysis is restricted to the oblivious setting, where the stream of events is independent of the protocol’s outputs. Xiong, Zhu, and Huang (2023) presented a robust protocol for distributed counting that removes the oblivious assumption. However, their communication complexity is suboptimal by a polylog(k) factor and their protocol is substantially more complex than the oblivious protocol of Huang et al. (2012). This left open a natural question: could it be that the simple protocol of Huang et al. (2012) is already robust? We resolve this question with two main contributions. First, we show that the protocol of Huang et al. (2012) is itself not robust by constructing an explicit adaptive attack that forces it to lose its accuracy. Second, we present a new, surprisingly simple, robust protocol for distributed counting that achieves the optimal communication complexity of O((√k)/ε log N). Our protocol is simpler than that of Xiong et al. (2023), perhaps even simpler than that of Huang et al. (2012), and is the first to match the optimal oblivious complexity in the adaptive setting.

Prior-Independent and Subgame Optimal Online Algorithms

Authors: Jason Hartline, Aleck Johnsen, and Anant Shah

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 362, 17th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2026)

Abstract
This paper develops two game-theoretic notions of beyond worst-case analysis that give better than worst-case guarantees on natural inputs. We illustrate them through the finite-horizon ski-rental problem. First, we consider prior-independent design and analysis of online algorithms where, rather than choosing a worst-case input, the adversary chooses a worst-case independent and identical distribution over inputs. Prior-independent online algorithms are generally analytically intractable; instead we give a fully polynomial-time approximation scheme to compute them. Second, we consider the worst-case design of algorithms. We define "subgame optimality" which is stronger than worst-case optimality in that it requires the algorithm to take advantage of an adversary not playing a worst-case input. Algorithms that focus only on the worst case can be far from subgame optimal. Highlighting the potential improvement from these paradigms for the finite-horizon ski-rental problem, we empirically compare worst-case, subgame optimal, and prior-independent algorithms in the prior-independent framework. Finally, we analyze the structure of their decisions across input sequences: the prior-independent algorithm exhibits more extreme adaptations to observed data, in contrast with the more conservative behavior of worst-case and subgame optimal algorithms.

The Hardness of Learning Quantum Circuits and Its Cryptographic Applications

Authors: Bill Fefferman, Soumik Ghosh, Makrand Sinha, and Henry Yuen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 362, 17th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2026)

Abstract
We show that concrete hardness assumptions about learning or cloning the output state of a random quantum circuit can be used as the foundation for secure quantum cryptography. In particular, under these assumptions we construct secure one-way state generators (OWSGs), digital signature schemes, quantum bit commitments, and private key encryption schemes. We also discuss evidence for these hardness assumptions by analyzing the best-known quantum learning algorithms, as well as proving black-box lower bounds for cloning and learning given state preparation oracles. Our random circuit-based constructions provide concrete instantiations of quantum cryptographic primitives whose security do not depend on the existence of one-way functions. The use of random circuits in our constructions also opens the door to {NISQ-friendly quantum cryptography}. We discuss noise tolerant versions of our OWSG and digital signature constructions which can potentially be implementable on noisy quantum computers connected by a quantum network. On the other hand, they are still secure against {noiseless} quantum adversaries, raising the intriguing possibility of a useful implementation of an end-to-end cryptographic protocol on near-term quantum computers. Finally, our explorations suggest that the rich interconnections between learning theory and cryptography in classical theoretical computer science also extend to the quantum setting.

Query Lower Bounds for Correlation Clustering Under Memory Constraints

Authors: Sumegha Garg, Songhua He, and Periklis A. Papakonstantinou

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 362, 17th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2026)

Abstract
This work initiates the study of memory–query tradeoffs for graph problems, with a focus on correlation clustering. Correlation clustering asks for a partition of the vertices that minimizes disagreements: non‑edges inside clusters plus edges across clusters. Our first result is a tight query lower bound: to output a partition whose cost approximates the optimum up to an additive error of ε n², any algorithm requires Ω(n/ε²) adjacency-matrix queries. Under memory constraints, we show that even for the seemingly easier task of approximating the optimal clustering cost (without producing a partition), any algorithm in the random query model must make ≫ n/ε² adjacency-matrix queries. Finally, we prove the first general graph model query lower bound for correlation clustering, where algorithms are allowed adjacency-matrix, neighbor, and degree queries. The latter two bounds are not yet tight, leaving room for sharper results.

Efficient Enumeration of k-Plexes and k-Defective Cliques

Authors: Mohamed Jiddou and George Manoussakis

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 358, 20th International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation (IPEC 2025)

Abstract
We investigate the enumeration of dense subgraphs under two well-known relaxations of cliques: k-plexes and k-defective cliques. Our main contribution is a family of algorithms with improved worst-case and output-sensitive complexities, driven by a decomposition technique based on graph degeneracy. We first propose a worst-case output-size near-optimal algorithm to enumerate all maximal k-plexes of size at least 2k-1, achieving a total time complexity of 𝒪(n(dk)³ 2^d Δ^k), where d is the degeneracy and Δ the maximum degree of the input graph. We then refine this result to obtain a fixed-parameter tractable output-sensitive algorithm with complexity 𝒪(α f(k) p(dΔ)), where α is the number of solutions, f(k) is an arbitrary function of k, and p is a polynomial. We then extend this framework to the enumeration of k-defective cliques and also show a linear-time O(n) algorithm for the enumeration of 2-plexes for graphs with bounded degeneracy. To the best of our knowledge, these complexities are competitive with or better than the current state of the art.

Mining Inter-Document Argument Structures in Scientific Papers for an Argument Web

Authors: Florian Ruosch, Cristina Sarasua, and Abraham Bernstein

Published in: TGDK, Volume 3, Issue 3 (2025). Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 3, Issue 3

Abstract
In Argument Mining, predicting argumentative relations between texts (or spans) remains one of the most challenging aspects, even more so in the cross-document setting. This paper makes three key contributions to advance research in this domain. We first extend an existing dataset, the Sci-Arg corpus, by annotating it with explicit inter-document argumentative relations, thereby allowing arguments to be distributed over several documents forming an Argument Web; these new annotations are published using Semantic Web technologies (RDF, OWL). Second, we explore and evaluate three automated approaches for predicting these inter-document argumentative relations, establishing critical baselines on the new dataset. We find that a simple classifier based on discourse indicators with access to context outperforms neural methods. Third, we conduct a comparative analysis of these approaches for both intra- and inter-document settings, identifying statistically significant differences in results that indicate the necessity of distinguishing between these two scenarios. Our findings highlight significant challenges in this complex domain and open crucial avenues for future research on the Argument Web of Science, particularly for those interested in leveraging Semantic Web technologies and knowledge graphs to understand scholarly discourse. With this, we provide the first stepping stones in the form of a benchmark dataset, three baseline methods, and an initial analysis for a systematic exploration of this field relevant to the Web of Data and Science.

Are Diagnostic Concepts Within the Reach of LLMs?

Authors: Anna Sztyber-Betley, Elodie Chanthery, Louise Travé-Massuyès, Silke Merkelbach, Karol Kukla, Maxence Glotin, Alexander Diedrich, and Oliver Niggemann

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

Abstract
Model-based diagnosis is a cornerstone of system health monitoring, allowing for the identification of faulty components based on observed behavior and a formal system model. However, obtaining a useful and reliable model is often an expensive and manual task. While the generation of a formal model was the aim of previous work, in this paper, we propose a methodology to use large language models to generate Minimal Structurally Overdetermined sets (MSOs). MSOs are specific subsets of the model equations from which diagnosis tests can be obtained. We investigate two different directions: (i) the large-language-models' ability to generate MSO sets for hybrid systems, similar to those generated by the well-known Fault Diagnosis Toolbox (FDT) (ii) the automated generation of MSOs for Boolean circuits, as well as the computation of the diagnoses. We thus show how both dynamic and static systems can be analysed by large-language models and how their output can be used for effective fault diagnosis. We evaluate our approach on a set of arithmetic and logic circuits, using OpenAI’s LLMs 4o-mini, o1, and o3-mini.

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.

The Complexity Landscape of Dynamic Distributed Subgraph Finding

Authors: Yi-Jun Chang, Lyuting Chen, Yanyu Chen, Gopinath Mishra, and Mingyang Yang

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 356, 39th International Symposium on Distributed Computing (DISC 2025)

Abstract
Bonne and Censor-Hillel (ICALP 2019) initiated the study of distributed subgraph finding in dynamic networks of limited bandwidth. For the case where the target subgraph is a clique, they determined the tight bandwidth complexity bounds in nearly all settings. However, several open questions remain, and very little is known about finding subgraphs beyond cliques. In this work, we consider these questions and explore subgraphs beyond cliques in the deterministic setting. For finding cliques, we establish an Ω(log log n) bandwidth lower bound for one-round membership-detection under edge insertions only and an Ω(log log log n) bandwidth lower bound for one-round detection under both edge insertions and node insertions. Moreover, we demonstrate new algorithms to show that our lower bounds are tight in bounded-degree networks when the target subgraph is a triangle. Prior to our work, no lower bounds were known for these problems. For finding subgraphs beyond cliques, we present a complete characterization of the bandwidth complexity of the membership-listing problem for every target subgraph, every number of rounds, and every type of topological change: node insertions, node deletions, edge insertions, and edge deletions. We also show partial characterizations for one-round membership-detection and listing.

Resilience in Knowledge Graph Embeddings

Authors: Arnab Sharma, N'Dah Jean Kouagou, and Axel-Cyrille Ngonga Ngomo

Published in: TGDK, Volume 3, Issue 2 (2025). Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 3, Issue 2

Abstract
In recent years, knowledge graphs have gained interest and witnessed widespread applications in various domains, such as information retrieval, question-answering, recommendation systems, amongst others. Large-scale knowledge graphs to this end have demonstrated their utility in effectively representing structured knowledge. To further facilitate the application of machine learning techniques, knowledge graph embedding models have been developed. Such models can transform entities and relationships within knowledge graphs into vectors. However, these embedding models often face challenges related to noise, missing information, distribution shift, adversarial attacks, etc. This can lead to sub-optimal embeddings and incorrect inferences, thereby negatively impacting downstream applications. While the existing literature has focused so far on adversarial attacks on KGE models, the challenges related to the other critical aspects remain unexplored. In this paper, we, first of all, give a unified definition of resilience, encompassing several factors such as generalisation, in-distribution generalization, distribution adaption, and robustness. After formalizing these concepts for machine learning in general, we define them in the context of knowledge graphs. To find the gap in the existing works on resilience in the context of knowledge graphs, we perform a systematic survey, taking into account all these aspects mentioned previously. Our survey results show that most of the existing works focus on a specific aspect of resilience, namely robustness. After categorizing such works based on their respective aspects of resilience, we discuss the challenges and future research directions.

Multidimensional Blockchain Fees Are (Essentially) Optimal

Authors: Guillermo Angeris, Theo Diamandis, and Ciamac Moallemi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 354, 7th Conference on Advances in Financial Technologies (AFT 2025)

Abstract
In this paper we show that, using only mild assumptions, dynamic multidimensional blockchain fee markets have strong performance guarantees, even against worst-case adversaries. In particular, we show that the average welfare gap between the following two scenarios is at most O(1/√T), where T is the length of the time horizon considered. In the first scenario, the designer knows all future actions by users and is allowed to fix the optimal prices of resources ahead of time, based on the designer’s oracular knowledge of those actions. In the second, the prices are updated by a very simple algorithm that does not have this oracular knowledge, special cases of which are EIP-4844 and EIP-1559, both fee mechanisms used by the Ethereum blockchain. Roughly speaking, this means that, on average, over a reasonable timescale, there is no difference in welfare between "correctly" fixing the prices, with oracular knowledge of the future, when compared to the proposed algorithm. We show a matching lower bound of Ω(1/√T) for any implementable algorithm and also separately consider the case where the adversary is known to be stochastic.

Quantum Approximate k-Minimum Finding

Authors: Minbo Gao, Zhengfeng Ji, and Qisheng Wang

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 351, 33rd Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2025)

Abstract
Quantum k-minimum finding is a fundamental subroutine with numerous applications in combinatorial problems and machine learning. Previous approaches typically assume oracle access to exact function values, making it challenging to integrate this subroutine with other quantum algorithms. In this paper, we propose an (almost) optimal quantum k-minimum finding algorithm that works with approximate values for all k ≥ 1, extending a result of van Apeldoorn, Gilyén, Gribling, and de Wolf (FOCS 2017) for k = 1. As practical applications, we present efficient quantum algorithms for identifying the k smallest expectation values among multiple observables and for determining the k lowest ground state energies of a Hamiltonian with a known eigenbasis.
