Secure Mobile Edge Computing in IoT via Collaborative Online Learning
Li, Bingcong, Chen, Tianyi, Giannakis, Georgios B.
To accommodate heterogeneous tasks in Internet of Things (IoT), a new communication and computing paradigm termed mobile edge computing emerges that extends computing services from the cloud to edge, but at the same time exposes new challenges on security. The present paper studies online security-aware edge computing under jamming attacks. Leveraging online learning tools, novel algorithms abbreviated as SAVE-S and SAVE-A are developed to cope with the stochastic and adversarial forms of jamming, respectively. Without utilizing extra resources such as spectrum and transmission power to evade jamming attacks, SAVE-S and SAVE-A can select the most reliable server to offload computing tasks with minimal privacy and security concerns. It is analytically established that without any prior information on future jamming and server security risks, the proposed schemes can achieve ${\cal O}\big(\sqrt{T}\big)$ regret. Information sharing among devices can accelerate the security-aware computing tasks. Incorporating the information shared by other devices, SAVE-S and SAVE-A offer impressive improvements on the sublinear regret, which is guaranteed by what is termed "value of cooperation." Effectiveness of the proposed schemes is tested on both synthetic and real datasets.

Efficient online learning for large-scale peptide identification
Liang, Xijun, Xia, Zhonghang, Wang, Yongxiang, Jian, Ling, Niu, Xinnan, Link, Andrew
Motivation: Post-database searching is a key procedure in peptide dentification with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) strategies for refining peptide-spectrum matches (PSMs) generated by database search engines. Although many statistical and machine learning-based methods have been developed to improve the accuracy of peptide identification, the challenge remains on large-scale datasets and datasets with an extremely large proportion of false positives (hard datasets). A more efficient learning strategy is required for improving the performance of peptide identification on challenging datasets. Results: In this work, we present an online learning method to conquer the challenges remained for exiting peptide identification algorithms. We propose a cost-sensitive learning model by using different loss functions for decoy and target PSMs respectively. A larger penalty for wrongly selecting decoy PSMs than that for target PSMs, and thus the new model can reduce its false discovery rate on hard datasets. Also, we design an online learning algorithm, OLCS-Ranker, to solve the proposed learning model. Rather than taking all training data samples all at once, OLCS-Ranker iteratively feeds in only one training sample into the learning model at each round. As a result, the memory requirement is significantly reduced for large-scale problems. Experimental studies show that OLCS-Ranker outperforms benchmark methods, such as CRanker and Batch-CS-Ranker, in terms of accuracy and stability. Furthermore, OLCS-Ranker is 15--85 times faster than CRanker method on large datasets. Availability and implementation: OLCS-Ranker software is available at no charge for non-commercial use at https://github.com/Isaac-QiXing/CRanker.
