Uniris is a permissionless integrated services platform capable of meeting a fundamental need: . In this way, we are part of the promise of a safer, more inclusive, and truly decentralized world. giving everyone back the control over technology 4 years of research and 12 influential international patents endow Uniris with the technological attributes that the predecessors have lacked — . These patents shall be given to to foster participation and hence accelerate the pace of innovation. scalability, speed, reliability, and simplicity of native biometric recognition open source communities What is a decentralized identity? How is Uniris different? The term “decentralized identity” has greatly gained in popularity. Mainly, due to lack of trust individuals are experiencing against centralized applications (validation & storage) and misuse of their personal information. Instead of storing data at a single location and thus creating an opportunity for a Single Point of Failure, a hack or an immoral misuse, decentralized identity enables its users to issue, encrypt and use their identity attributes (e.g. name, age or nationality — they are called DIDs: Decentralized Identifiers) as a proof of identity or a mean of authentication, based on the blockchain technology. Based on 4 years of research and a dozen patents the decentralized identity is made possible by Uniris blockchain and the (100%) trust created by which directly gives back the right to control and protect personal information to individuals. ARCH Consensus The biggest challenges related to Digital Identity are overcome by ensuring both data immutability and integrity by bringing blockchain and biometrics together. This allows to work on diversified use-cases and conduct numerous Proof of Concepts, including one in collaboration with the prestigious . Paris Olympic Games 2024 The French National Council of Industry, certified Uniris to contribute to the security of major events such as the Olympic Games Paris 2024, Rugby Worldcup, Rolland Garros, etc... Where is the focus? Uniris is a platform for all blockchain applications (Identity, Market Place, Smart City, IoT,…) closely integrated with biometrics’ native Identity. >1 million transactions/sec. The blockchain is built from grounds-up completely rethinking the way they operate. Instead of chained blocks of transactions, each block is reduced to its atomic form, i.e. each block contains one transaction and each transaction will be chained in its own chain called . Hence having the potential of infinite blockchains. Scalability: TransactionsChains On the other hand, makes it possible to obtain with certainty the same answer by querying 200 nodes as would be obtained by querying 100,000 nodes. Thereby ensuring exponential horizontal scalability with TransactionsChains and ARCH Consensus. ARCH Consensus 0.0000001% risk of fraud even with 90% of malicious nodes. ARCH Consensus is based on where only 200 nodes are needed to validate a transaction even if there are 90% malicious nodes. (To compare, Bitcoin network is compromised with just 51% malicious nodes) Security : Hypergeometric Distribution Laws N = No of Nodes in the network, n = No of validations needed, 0.9 = 90% malicious nodes, 0.1 = 10% good nodes In terms of energy consumption, a mere 0.42 W/sec is required per transaction or the energy equivalent in joules to one-tenth of a gram of sugar. The energy consumption is 3.6 billion times less than Bitcoin or 60000 times less than EOS. Sustainability: People of any background, age can with the tip of their finger control their identity and at the same time do any transactions. The Biometrics is based on the internal vein structure of the person’s finger. It is impossible to reconstruct the inside of a finger. This is designed and built  for the world population Simplicity: As you can see, the market standards are clearly outperformed by many folds! Uniris Coin (UCO) Valuation and its Mass Adoption Turns out even ! Due to the improper distribution of Bitcoin, the top 1000 wallets hold 40% of Bitcoins. Those Bitcoins stay right there, as a frozen potential that is never realized. (Improper distribution is a reason for Bitcoin’s low price value) Satoshi Nakomoto missed the most important property of cryptocurrency i.e proper distribution of Bitcoin Hence UCO will be distributed far and wide as fast as possible to reach millions if not billions of users in a short perid of time. Thus making the entire system richer by better distribution and at the same time each individual will get rich right along with it. This is possible by gamifying the delivery of UCO. The various channels for distribution is through - Gamifying Miner, Storage, Network Pool (any smartphone, laptop, pc can become a node) - Universal Basic Income (1B+ people, any person connected to the internet can claim the UBI) - Gamifying Deliverables & Enhancements (software dev, use-cases, hackathons, etc...) - Gamifying Marketing (bounty programs, digital marketing, influencers, PR, etc...) For example, considering an event such as the Paris Olympics 2024, which alone brings together 8 million people. ( ) What will be the value of UCO due to mass adoption? based of previous Olympics data 8 million people are expected for Paris Olympics 2024 From Value of a P2P network ~ n^1.5 (where n is the number of users) Value of Uniris network ~ (10 million)^1.5 = € 31.6 billion, = €31.6 billion / 7,5 billion UCO ~ (700X) Metcalfe's Law Value of a UCO € 4.2/UCO (7,5 billion UCOs will be available in 2024 out of a max of 10 Billion UCOs) Aquire UCOs Acquire UCO on blockchain.io Blockchain.io (Subsidiary of Paymium) is one of the oldest crypto exchanges in Europe, they are fully committed to carefully selecting and list tokens from promising projects.

Hardware Details B. Experimental Results C. Arithmetic Intensity D. Predictor Analysis 8 CONCLUSION In this work, we examine the unique characteristics of energy consumption in neural network inference, especially for edge devices. We identified unique tradeoffs and dimensions between energy consumption and inference latency SLOs and empirically demonstrated hidden components in optimizing energy consumption. We then propose an optimization framework that automatically and holistically tunes various hardware components to find a configuration aligned with the Pareto Frontier. We empirically verify the effectiveness and efficiency of PolyThrottle. PolyThrottle also adapts to the need for fine-tuning and proposes a simple performance prediction model to adaptively schedule finetuning requests while keeping the online inference workload under the inference latency SLO whenever possible. We hope our study sheds more light on the hidden dimension of NN energy optimization. REFERENCES Jetson partner solutions ebook.

PolyThrottle: Energy-efficient Neural Network Inference on Edge Devices: Conclusion & References

This paper is available on under CC 4.0 license. Arxiv Authors: (1) Md Masud Rana, Department of Mathematics, University of Kentucky; (2) Duc Duy Nguyen, Department of Mathematics, University of Kentucky & ducnguyen@uky.edu. Table of Links Abstract & Introduction Datasets and Results Methods Conclusion, Data and Software Availability, Competing interests, Acknowledgments & References 4 Conclusion The study of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) and the prediction of mutation-induced binding free energy changes are of great importance in understanding the molecular basis of biological processes. The application of geometric graph theory and atom-level graph coloring techniques provides a powerful framework for analyzing biomolecules and capturing their intricate relationships. By utilizing the concept of geometric subgraphs and constructing multi-scale weighted colored geometric subgraphs (MWCGS), we can effectively represent the structural and functional properties of PPIs. The site-specific MWCGS features allow us to extract meaningful patterns and characteristics, shedding light on the effects of mutations and the underlying molecular interactions. In this work, we developed a mutation-induced binding free energy change predictor, called GGL-PPI, by incorporating site-specific MWCGS features for PPIs and gradient-boosting trees. Our method demonstrates superior performance compared to existing methods. The model was validated on three datasets: AB-Bind S645, SKEMPI 1.0 S1131, and SKEMPI 2.0 S4169 and S8338, showcasing its robustness and effectiveness. Furthermore, GGL-PPI was evaluated on a blind test set, the Ssym dataset. To prevent data leakage between the test and training sets, the model was trained on a homology-reduced balanced training set Q3488. This approach ensures the reliability and fairness of the evaluation process. GGL-PPI exhibits the most unbiased and superior performance in predicting binding free energy changes for both direct and reverse mutations, outperforming other existing methods, particularly for reverse mutations. Overall, the results highlight the potential of the GGL-PPI approach in accurately predicting mutation-induced binding free energy changes in protein-protein interactions, providing valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying protein-protein interactions and facilitating drug design and discovery efforts. 5 Data and Software Availability The source code is available at Github: https://github.com/NguyenLabUKY/GGL-Mutation. 6 Competing interests No competing interest is declared. 7 Acknowledgments This work is supported in part by funds from the National Science Foundation (NSF: # 2053284, # 2151802, and # 2245903), and the University of Kentucky Startup Fund.
