Privacy Preserving Demand Forecasting to Encourage Consumer Acceptance of Smart Energy Meters (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Briggs, C., Fan, Z., & Andras, P. (2020). Privacy Preserving Demand Forecasting to Encourage Consumer Acceptance of Smart Energy Meters. In NeurIPS 2020 Workshop: Tackling Climate Change with Machine Learning

In this proposal paper we highlight the need for privacy preserving energy demand forecasting to allay a major concern consumers have about smart meter installations. High resolution smart meter data can expose many private aspects of a consumer’s ho... Read More about Privacy Preserving Demand Forecasting to Encourage Consumer Acceptance of Smart Energy Meters.

Federated learning with hierarchical clustering of local updates to improve training on non-IID data (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Briggs, C., Fan, Z., & Andras, P. (2020). Federated learning with hierarchical clustering of local updates to improve training on non-IID data. In 2020 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN). https://doi.org/10.1109/IJCNN48605.2020.9207469

Federated learning (FL) is a well established method for performing machine learning tasks over massively distributed data. However in settings where data is distributed in a non-iid (not independent and identically distributed) fashion - as is typic...

Composition of Games as a Model for the Evolution of Social Institutions (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Andras, P. (2020). Composition of Games as a Model for the Evolution of Social Institutions. In Artificial Life Conference Proceedings (171-179). https://doi.org/10.1162/isal_a_00264

The evolution of social institutions (e.g. institutions of political decision making or joint resource administration) is an important question in the context of understanding of how societies develop and evolve. In principle, social institutions can... Read More about Composition of Games as a Model for the Evolution of Social Institutions.
