Chu, Tianyue (author), Garcia-Recuero, Alvaro (author), Iordanou, Costas (author), Smaragdakis, G. (author), Laoutaris, Nikolaos (author)We present a Federated Learning (FL) based solution for building a distributed classifier capable of detecting URLs containing sensitive content, i.e., content related to categories such as health, political beliefs, sexual orientation, etc. Although such a classifier addresses the limitations of previous offline/centralised classifiers, it is...conference paper 2023

Chu, Jifeng (author), Iulian Martin, Calin (author), Marynets, K. (author)We present here exact solutions to the equations of geophysical fluid dynamics that depict inviscid flows moving in the azimuthal direction on a circular path, around the globe, and which admit a velocity profile below the surface and along it. These features render this model suitable for the description of the Antarctic circumpolar current ...journal article 2023

Chu, Jifeng (author), Marynets, K. (author), Wang, Z. (author)We consider a nonlinear Neumann boundary value problem which is derived for the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. By the theory of topological degree, we prove the existence results for the problem with semilinear oceanic vorticity term. We also construct the approximate solutions for such a nonlinear model.journal article 2023

Smeur, E.J.J. (author), de Croon, G.C.H.E. (author), Chu, Q. P. (author)The authors regret to inform that an incorrect transfer function was included in Eq. (12). The correct transfer function is: [Formula Presented] The selected gains were [Formula Presented]. This leads to a real pole at 0.964 and two complex poles at 0.965 ± 0.0445i. The difference of the model compared to the measured step response has now...journal article 2023
