This paper introduces DaringFed, a novel dynamic Bayesian persuasion pricing mechanism for online federated learning (OFL) that addresses the challenge of two-sided incomplete information (TII) regarding resources. It formulates the interaction between the server and clients as a dynamic signaling and pricing allocation problem within a Bayesian persuasion game, demonstrating the existence of a unique Bayesian persuasion Nash equilibrium. Evaluations on real and synthetic datasets demonstrate that DaringFed optimizes accuracy and convergence speed and improves the server's utility.
This paper introduces an AI-driven decision support system for green hydrogen investment in Oman, specifically for the Duqm R3 auction. The system uses publicly available meteorological data to predict maintenance pressure on hydrogen infrastructure, creating a Maintenance Pressure Index (MPI). This tool supports regulatory oversight and operational decision-making by enabling temporal benchmarking against performance claims.
This paper presents a reinforcement learning framework for optimizing energy pricing in peer-to-peer (P2P) energy systems. The framework aims to maximize the profit of all components in a microgrid, including consumers, prosumers, the service provider, and a community battery. Experimental results on the Pymgrid dataset demonstrate the approach's effectiveness in price optimization, considering the interests of different components and the impact of community battery capacity.
Researchers propose a spatio-temporal model for high-resolution wind forecasting in Saudi Arabia using Echo State Networks and stochastic partial differential equations. The model reduces spatial information via energy distance, captures dynamics with a sparse recurrent neural network, and reconstructs data using a non-stationary stochastic partial differential equation approach. The model achieves more accurate forecasts of wind speed and energy, potentially saving up to one million dollars annually compared to existing models.
This paper proposes a machine learning method for early detection and classification of date fruit diseases, which are economically important to countries like Saudi Arabia. The method uses a hybrid feature extraction approach combining L*a*b color features, statistical features, and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) texture features. Experiments using a dataset of 871 images achieved the highest average accuracy using Random Forest (RF), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), Naïve Bayes (NB), and Fuzzy Decision Trees (FDT) classifiers.
G42 and Cerebras, in partnership with MBZUAI and C-DAC, will deploy an 8 exaflop AI supercomputer in India. The system will operate under India's governance frameworks, with all data remaining within national jurisdiction to meet sovereign security and compliance requirements. The supercomputer will be accessible to Indian researchers, startups, and government entities under the India AI Mission.
This study introduces a reinforcement learning (RL) framework using Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) and Soft Actor-Critic (SAC) to optimize the cleaning schedules of photovoltaic panels in arid regions. Applied to a case study in Abu Dhabi, the PPO-based framework demonstrated up to 13% cost savings compared to simulation optimization methods by dynamically adjusting cleaning intervals based on environmental conditions. The research highlights the potential of RL in enhancing the efficiency and reducing the operational costs of solar power generation.
