XGBoost is an ensemble learning algorithm while its ordinary parameters adjusting algorithm cannot improve the performance of this model significantly. Thus we propose an algorithm of parameters adjusting based on QBFO (Quantum Bacterial Foraging Optimization), called QBFO-XGBoost, improving the performance of XGBoost.

The goal of this study is to provide a novel approach for capturing the experiences of disaster survivors in a structured way and to provide this structure as machine-readable metadata so that information may be easily analysed, searched, shared, and extracted by software applications.

Disaster management faces three critical problems for emergency services - technology constraints (Network infrastructure), demand-supply management (a large number of victims to respond to, but limited on-field agents), information access (for on-field agents). In this paper, we present an end-to-end framework to enable reliable disaster response for emergency services. This framework solves the three problems described by introducing a unique system of collecting SOS messages from disaster victims, presenting and aggregating the messages to control center operators, and making this data alongside various offline tools available to on-field agents. The framework leverages a combination of Ad-hoc mobile networks based on widely used/readily available protocols and hardware to solve the technology constraints. We introduce a novel smartphone-based mesh network that leverages the radio modules already present in smartphones (BLE, Sound, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) to complement custom hardware-based mesh networks (based on LoRa). SOS messages travel over multiple smartphones until they reach an internet-enabled device. On reaching the internet, we use contextual intelligence for determining the request context and helping emergency service agents prioritize and solve the request. We design an intelligent interface for control center agents to get an aggregated view on disaster victims and on-field agents, helping them make data-driven decisions to help the victims. The framework also provides the on-field agents with an interface to access data and communicate with the disaster victims, even in offline conditions leveraging the mesh network. The critical contribution of this paper is the framework's three-prong approach to support the victims, control center operators, and on-field agents. We present a walk-through for a pilot deployment of our framework alongside its qualitative and quantitative results and show how it can integrate with services like 911.","PeriodicalId":337000,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies for Disaster Management (ICT-DM)","volume":"406 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124938874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By carefully examining the interaction among distributed training nodes, we find that existing federated learning still suffers from security weakness and network bottleneck during model synchronization. It has no protection on training models, which also contain significant private information. In addition, many evidences have shown that model synchronization over wide-area network is slow, bottlenecking the whole learning process. To fill this research gap, we propose a novel cross-silo federated learning architecture that can protect both training data and model by using homomorphic encryption (HE). Instead of sharing the model parameters in plaintexts, we encrypt them using the HE, so that they can be aggregated in ciphertexts. In order to handle the inflated network traffic incurred by HE, we apply the in-network aggregation by exploiting the strong capability of programmable switches. A fast algorithm that jointly considers in-network aggregator placement and traffic engineering has been proposed and evaluated by extensive simulations.","PeriodicalId":337000,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies for Disaster Management (ICT-DM)","volume":"366 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123946926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
