Four Principles of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (Draft)

August 18, 2020
Author(s)
P Phillips, Carina Hahn, Peter Fontana, David A. Broniatowski, Mark A. Przybocki
We introduce four principles for explainable artificial intelligence (AI) that comprise the fundamental properties for explainable AI systems. They were developed to encompass the multidisciplinary nature of explainable AI, including the fields of computer

Simplified Ray Tracing for the Millimeter Wave Channel: A Performance Evaluation

February 14, 2020
Author(s)
Mattia Lecci, Paolo Testolina, Marco Giordani, Michele Polese, Tanguy Ropitault, Camillo Gentile, Neeraj Varshney, Michele Zorzi
Millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication is one of the cornerstone innovations of fifth- generation (5G) wireless networks, thanks to the massive bandwidth available in these frequency bands. To correctly assess the performance of such systems, however, it

Software to Report Product and Manufacturing Information in QIF Files

December 4, 2019
Author(s)
Robert R. Lipman
The QIF PMI Report (QPR) software generates a spreadsheet from a Quality Information Framework (QIF) file containing Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI). QIF is a unified XML framework standard for computer-aided quality QIF systems, available free

Towards Estimating the Uncertainty Associated with 3D Geometry Reconstructed from Medical Image Data

November 1, 2019
Author(s)
Marc Horner, Karim O. Genc, Stephen M. Luke, Todd M. Pietila, Ross T. Cotton, Benjamin Ache, Kevin C. Townsend, Zachary H. Levine
Patient-specific computational modeling is increasingly being used to assist with the visualization, planning and execution of medical treatments. This trend is placing more reliance on medical imaging to provide an accurate representation of anatomical

Machine Learning in a Quality Managed RF Measurement Workflow

July 6, 2019
Author(s)
Aric Sanders, John Bass, Arpita Bhutani, Mary A. Ho, Jim Booth
Advances in artificial intelligence, or more specifically machine learning, have made it possible for computers to recognize patterns as well or better than humans. The process of quality management in radio-frequency measurements is an arduous one that

SIM Time Scale: 10 years of operation

March 29, 2018
Author(s)
J. M. Lopez, Michael A. Lombardi, E. de Carlos, N. Munoz, C. Ortiz
The Inter-American Metrology System (SIM) is one of the world's five major Regional Metrology Organizations (RMO's). Starting in 2005, the SIM Time and Frequency Metrology Working Group (SIM TFWG) developed a time and frequency comparison network for the

The effect of self-consistent potentials on EXAFS analysis

November 1, 2017
Author(s)
Bruce Ravel, M. Newville, Josh J. Kas, John J. Rehr
We present an EXAFS-oriented theory program based on the popular Feff8 and providing an application programming interface designed to make it easy to integrate high-quality theory into EXAFS analysis software. We then use this new code to examine the

Using DITA to Create Security Configuration Checklists

July 31, 2017
Author(s)
Joshua Lubell
Many software tools use security configuration checklists expressed in the Extensible Configuration Checklist Description Format (XCCDF) to monitor computers and other information technology products for compliance with security policies. But XCCDF syntax

A metamodel for optimization problems

January 8, 2016
Author(s)
Ibrahim Assouroko, Peter O. Denno
In mathematics, computer science, and operations research, mathematical optimization is the process of finding best feasible values (oftentimes maxima or minima) of a given objective that is modeled mathematically. This paper introduces the concept of a

Accurate multiconfiguration calculations of energy levels, lifetimes and transition rates for the silicon isoelectronic sequence: Ti IX - Ge XIX, Sr XXV, Zr XXVII, Mo XXIX

December 6, 2015
Author(s)
P. Jonsson, L Radziute, G. Gaigalas, M. Godefroid, J P. Marques, T Brage, Charlotte F. Fischer, I. P. Grant
Multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock (MCDHF) calculations and relativistic configuration interaction (RCI) calculations are performed for states of the 3s23p2, 3s3p3 and 3s23p3d configurations in the Si-like ions Ti IX - Ge XIX, Sr XXV, Zr XXVII, Mo XXIX

Modeling the apparent and intrinsic viscoelastic relaxation of hydrating cement paste

January 31, 2015
Author(s)
Xiaodan Li, Zachary Grasley, Edward Garboczi, Jeffrey W. Bullard
Finite element procedures combined with microstructure development modeling are integrated to quantitatively predict the viscoelastic/viscoplastic relaxation of cement paste due to intrinsic calcium silicate hydrate viscoelasticity and microstructure

BIOS Protection Guidelines for Servers

August 28, 2014
Author(s)
Andrew R. Regenscheid
Modern computers rely on fundamental system firmware, commonly known as the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS), to facilitate the hardware initialization process and transition control to the hypervisor or operating system. Unauthorized modification of BIOS

Processes Analytics Formalism for Decision Guidance in Sustainable Manufacturing

May 19, 2014
Author(s)
Alexander Brodsky, Guodong Shao, Frank H. Riddick
This paper introduces National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)'s Sustainable Process Analytics Formalism (SPAF) to facilitate the use of simulation and optimization technologies for decision support in sustainable manufacturing. SPAF allows

Stratified Sampling for the Ising Model: A Graph-Theoretic Approach

June 19, 2013
Author(s)
Amanda A. Streib, Noah S. Streib, Isabel M. Beichl, Francis Sullivan
We present a new approach to a classical problem in statistical physics: estimating the partition function and other thermodynamic quantities of the ferromagnetic Ising model. Markov chain Monte Carlo methods for this problem have been well-studied
