• Authors: Adel Albshri, Ali Alzubaidi, Ellis Solaiman
• Abstract summary: We use machine learning (ML) model-based methods to predict blockchain performance. We employ the salp swarm optimization (SO) ML model which enables the investigation of optimal blockchain configurations. The $k$NN model outperforms SVM by 5% and the ISO also demonstrates a reduction of 4% inaccuracy deviation compared to regular SO.

• Abstract: The recent advancement of Blockchain technology consolidates its status as a viable alternative for various domains. However, evaluating the performance of blockchain applications can be challenging due to the underlying infrastructure's complexity and distributed nature. Therefore, a reliable modelling approach is needed to boost Blockchain-based applications' development and evaluation. While simulation-based solutions have been researched, machine learning (ML) model-based techniques are rarely discussed in conjunction with evaluating blockchain application performance. Our novel research makes use of two ML model-based methods. Firstly, we train a $k$ nearest neighbour ($k$NN) and support vector machine (SVM) to predict blockchain performance using predetermined configuration parameters. Secondly, we employ the salp swarm optimization (SO) ML model which enables the investigation of optimal blockchain configurations for achieving the required performance level. We use rough set theory to enhance SO, hereafter called ISO, which we demonstrate to prove achieving an accurate recommendation of optimal parameter configurations; despite uncertainty. Finally, statistical comparisons indicate that our models have a competitive edge. The $k$NN model outperforms SVM by 5\% and the ISO also demonstrates a reduction of 4\% inaccuracy deviation compared to regular SO.

  We focus on Generative Masked Language Models (GMLMs) We train a model to fit conditional probabilities of the data distribution via masking, which are subsequently used as inputs to a Markov Chain to draw samples from the model.

  Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection has recently received much attention from the machine learning community due to its importance in deploying machine learning models in real-world applications. In this paper we propose an uncertainty quantification approach by modelling the distribution of features. We incorporate an efficient ensemble mechanism, namely batch-ensemble, to construct the batch-ensemble neural networks (BE-SNNs) and overcome the feature collapse problem. We show that BE-SNNs yield superior performance on several OOD benchmarks, such as the Two-Moons dataset, the FashionMNIST vs MNIST dataset, FashionM

We explore the impact of lazy clients on the learning performance of BLADE-FL, and characterize the relationship among the optimal K, the learning parameters, and the proportion of lazy clients.
