Abstract: Systems and methods for forecasting data drift for model monitoring. In some aspects, the system receives a current explainability vector for a machine learning model and a data drift vector for historical data profiles. The machine learning model is trained on historical data including values for a first set of features. The system generates a projected synthetic dataset using the data drift vector and updates the machine learning model based on the projected synthetic dataset. Using the current explainability vector and a future explainability vector for the updated model, the system generates a second set of features and determines a drift threshold vector for the second set of features based on values in the explainability vectors. The system determines a discrepancy score for each feature of the second set of features. The system generates an alert including features in the second set of features and their associated discrepancy scores.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a structurally competent, EMI-shielded IR window includes using a mathematical model that combines the Sotoodeh and Nag models to determine an optimal thickness and dopant concentration of a doped layer of GaAs or GaP. A slab of GaAs or GaP is prepared, and a doped layer of the same material having the optimal thickness and dopant concentration is applied thereto. In embodiments, the doped layer is applied by an HVPE method such as LP-HVPE, which can also provide enhanced GaAs transparency near 1 micron. The Drude model can be applied to assist in selecting an anti-reflective coating. If the model predicts that the requirements of an application cannot be met by a doped layer alone, a doped layer can be applied that exceeds the required IR transparency, and a metallic grid can be applied to improve the EMI shielding, thereby satisfying the requirements.

Abstract: A method for authenticating a base station involves a user device sending an authentication request to the base station upon connection to the base station. The authentication request is based on a core network signalling protocol. The user device waits a predetermined amount of time for a response to the authentication request signal and disconnects from the base station if a response is not received or if the response is determined to be inauthentic. The Access Control Class (ACC) of the user device is changed to a different ACC after disconnecting from the base station.
