Multimodal time-to-event prediction often requires integrating sensitive data distributed across multiple parties, making centralized model training impractical due to privacy constraints. At the same time, most existing multimodal survival models produce single deterministic predictions without indicating how confident the model is in its estimates, which can limit their reliability in real-world decision making. To address these challenges, we propose BVFLMSP, a Bayesian Vertical Federated Learning (VFL) framework for multimodal time-to-event analysis based on a Split Neural Network architecture. […]

This is an extended version of our publication Learning state machines from data streams: A generic strategy and an improved heuristic, International Conference on Grammatical Inference (ICGI) 2023, Rabat, Morocco. It has been extended with a formal proof on PAC-bounds, and the discussion and analysis of a similar approach has been moved from the appendix and is now a full Section. State machine models are models that simulate the behavior of discrete event systems, capable of representing systems […]

Reinforcement learning (RL) agents often struggle with out-of-distribution (OOD) scenarios, leading to high uncertainty and random behavior. While language models (LMs) contain valuable world knowledge, larger ones incur high computational costs, hindering real-time use, and exhibit limitations in autonomous planning. We introduce Adaptive Safety through Knowledge (ASK), which combines smaller LMs with trained RL policies to enhance OOD generalization without retraining. ASK employs Monte Carlo Dropout to assess uncertainty and queries the LM for action suggestions only when […]

A decade ago, it would have been hard to believe that artificial intelligence could do what it can do now. However, it is this same power that introduces a new attack surface that traditional security frameworks were not built to address. As this technology becomes embedded in critical operations, companies need a multi-layered defense strategy that includes data protection, access control and constant monitoring to keep these systems safe. Five foundational practices address these risks. 1. Enforce strict […]
