NIST Explainable AI Workshop Summary

August 25, 2022
Author(s)
P. Jonathon Phillips, Carina Hahn, Peter Fontana, Amy Yates, Matthew Smith
This report represents a summary of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Explainable Artificial Intelligence (AI) Workshop, which NIST held virtually on January 26-28, 2021.

Quantum materials for energy-efficient neuromorphic computing: Opportunities and challenges

July 19, 2022
Author(s)
Axel Hoffmann, Shriram Ramanathan, Julie Grollier, Andrew Kent, Marcelo Rozenberg, Ivan Schuller, Oleg Shpyrko, Robert Dynes, Yeshaiahu Fainman, Alex Frano, Eric Fullerton, Giulia Galli, Vitaliy Lomakin, Shyue Ping Ong, Amanda K. Petford-Long, Jonathan A. Schuller, Mark Stiles, Yayoi Takamura, Yimei Zhu
Neuromorphic computing approaches become increasingly important as we address future needs for efficiently processing massive amounts of data. The unique attributes of quantum materials can help address these needs by enabling new energy-efficient device

Discovery of digital forensic dataset characteristics with CASE-Corpora

July 11, 2022
Author(s)
Alexander Nelson
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

Spatiotemporal Monitoring of Melt-Pool Variations in Metal-Based Additive Manufacturing

July 1, 2022
Author(s)
Siqing Zhang, Yan Lu, Paul Witherell, Timothy Simpson, Soundar Kumara, Hui Yang
Additive manufacturing provides a higher level of flexibility to build customized products with complex geometries. However, AM is currently limited in its ability to ensure quality assurance and process repeatability. Advanced imaging provides unique

Gauging the difficulty of image segmentation

May 19, 2022
Author(s)
Marek Franaszek
Image segmentation is the first step in a complex process of object recognition. This report presents a method to gauge the difficulty of segmentation by calculating a scalar parameter Q for an image. This parameter depends on a distribution of the

Machine learning enabling high-throughput and remote operations at large-scale user facilities

May 18, 2022
Author(s)
Bruce D. Ravel, Tatiana Konstantinova, Phillip Michael Maffettone, Stuart Campbell, Andi Barbour, Daniel Olds
Imaging, scattering, and spectroscopy are fundamental in understanding and discovering new functional materials. Contemporary innovations in automation and experimental techniques have led to these measurements being performed much faster and with higher

Machine Learning-Based Algorithmically Generated Domain Detection

May 1, 2022
Author(s)
Zheng Wang, Yang Guo, Douglas Montgomery
Malware like botnets typically uses domain generation algorithms (DGAs) to dynamically produce a large number of random algorithmically generated domains (AGDs) and use a few of them to communicate with the command and control servers. AGD detection

Towards a Standard for Identifying and Managing Bias in Artificial Intelligence

March 15, 2022
Author(s)
Reva Schwartz, Apostol Vassilev, Kristen K. Greene, Lori Perine, Andrew Burt, Patrick Hall
As individuals and communities interact in and with an environment that is increasingly virtual they are often vulnerable to the commodification of their digital exhaust. Concepts and behavior that are ambiguous in nature are captured in this environment

Toward Robust Autotuning of Noisy Quantum Dot Devices

February 25, 2022
Author(s)
Joshua Ziegler, Thomas McJunkin, Emily Joseph, Sandesh Kalantre, Benjamin Harpt, Donald Savage, Max Lagally, Mark Eriksson, Jacob Taylor, Justyna Zwolak
The current autotuning approaches for quantum dot (QD) devices, while showing some success, lack an assessment of data reliability. This leads to unexpected failures when noisy or otherwise low-quality data is processed by an autonomous system. In this

A Convolutional Neural Networks-Based Approach for Texture Directionality Detection

January 12, 2022
Author(s)
Marcin Kociolek, Michal Kozlowski, Antonio Cardone
The perceived texture directionality is an important, not fully explored image characteristic. In many applications texture directionality detection is of fundamental importance. Several approaches have been proposed, such as the fast Fourier-based method

Gradient Decomposition Methods for Training Neural Networks with Non-Ideal Synaptic Devices

November 22, 2021
Author(s)
Junyun Zhao, Siyuan Huang, Osama Yousuf, Yutong Gao, Brian Hoskins, Gina Adam
While promising for high capacity machine learning accelerators, memristor devices have non-idealities that prevent software-equivalent accuracies when used for online training. This work uses a combination of Mini-Batch Gradient Descent (MBGD) to average
