Due to their interesting physical properties, myriad operational regimes, small size, and industrial fabrication maturity, magnetic tunnel junctions are uniquely suited for unlocking novel computing schemes for in-hardware neuromorphic computing. In this
Quantum computers based on gate-defined quantum dots (QDs) are expected to scale. However, as the number of qubits increases, the burden of manually calibrating these systems becomes unreasonable and autonomous tuning must be used. There has been a range
Data collected from the Intelligent Building Agents Laboratory (IBAL) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are used to develop a physics-based and four machine learning models of ice-on-coil thermal energy storage (TES): linear
Superconducting Optoelectronic Networks (SOENs) combine pho- tonics and superconductors to instantiate computing systems that approach the fundamental limits of information processing in terms of speed and scalability. Overcoming the engineering challenges
We present the development of a bias compensating reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm that optimizes thermal comfort (by minimizing tracking error) and control utilization (by penalizing setpoint deviations) in a multi-zone heating, ventilation, and air

ISO and IEC have jointly initiated, and recently issued, a series of standards (the ISO/IEC 21838 series) for top-level ontologies. These standards have been used by industrial consortia to develop and disseminate standards for mid-level ontologies to ease

We show that model-free perturbative methods can be used to efficiently train modern neural network architectures in a way that can be directly applied to emerging neuromorphic hardware. These methods were investigated for training VLSI neural networks
In this paper, we present a ray tracing (RT) assisted multipath cluster association method. This work is based on an indoor channel measurement at 60 GHz, where a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor was co-located with channel sounder and time

During Fiscal Year 2022 (FY 2022) – from October 1, 2021, through September 30, 2022 –the NIST Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) Cybersecurity and Privacy Program successfully responded to numerous challenges and opportunities in security and privacy
Gate-defined quantum dots (QDs) have appealing attributes as a quantum computing platform. However, near-term devices possess a range of possible imperfections that need to be accounted for during the tuning and operation of QD devices. One such problem is

This paper presents the development of an attention based bi-directional gated recurrent unit model, P-Flashv2, for the prediction of potential occurrence of flashover in a traditional 111 m2 single story ranch-style family home. Synthetic temperature data
Machine learning control (MLC) is a highly flexible and adaptable method that enables the design, modeling, tuning, and maintenance of building controllers to be more accurate, automated, flexible, and adaptable. The research topic of MLC in building
Arrays of quantum dots (QDs) are a promising candidate system to realize scalable, coupled qubit systems and serve as a fundamental building block for quantum computers. In such semiconductor quantum systems, devices now have tens of individual
The digital forensics community has generated training and reference data over the course of decades. However, significant challenges persist today in the usage pipeline for that data, from research problem formulation, through discovery of applicable

Multimodal characterization is commonly required for understanding materials. User facilities possess the infrastructure to perform these measurements, albeit in serial over days to months. In this paper, we describe a unified multimodal measurement of a
Zero-day attacks exploit unknown vulnerabilities so as to avoid being detected by cybersecurity detection tools. The studies Bilge and Dumitraş (2012), Google (0000) and Ponemon Sullivan Privacy Report (2020) show that zero-day attacks are wide spread and
