Safety Monitoring for Large Language Models: A Case Study of Offshore Wind Maintenance (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Walker, C., Rothon, C., Aslansefat, K., Papadopoulos, Y., & Dethlefs, N. (2024, February). Safety Monitoring for Large Language Models: A Case Study of Offshore Wind Maintenance. Presented at Safety Critical Systems Symposium SSS'24, Bristol, UK

It has been forecasted that a quarter of the world's energy usage will be supplied from Offshore Wind (OSW) by 2050 (Smith 2023). Given that up to one third of Levelised Cost of Energy (LCOE) arises from Operations and Maintenance (O&M), the motive f...

Addressing Complexity and Intelligence in Systems Dependability Evaluation (2023)
Thesis
Aslansefat, K. Addressing Complexity and Intelligence in Systems Dependability Evaluation. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4500562

Engineering and computing systems are increasingly complex, intelligent, and open adaptive. When it comes to the dependability evaluation of such systems, there are certain challenges posed by the characteristics of “complexity” and “intelligence”. T...

Safety-Security Co-Engineering Framework (2023)
Report
Aslansefat, K., Gerasimou, S., Hamibi, H., Matragkas, N., Michalodimitrakis, E., Papadopoulos, Y., Papoutsakis, M., & Walker, M. (2023). Safety-Security Co-Engineering Framework. European Commission

Executive Summary:
The advantages of a model-based approach for safety have been clear for many years now. However, security analysis is typically less formal and more ad-hoc; it may involve systematic processes but these are not generally tied into... Read More about Safety-Security Co-Engineering Framework.

Explaining black boxes with a SMILE: Statistical Model-agnostic Interpretability with Local Explanations (2023)
Journal Article
Aslansefat, K., Hashemian, M., Walker, M., Akram, M. N., Sorokos, I., & Papadopoulos, Y. (2023). Explaining black boxes with a SMILE: Statistical Model-agnostic Interpretability with Local Explanations. IEEE Software, https://doi.org/10.1109/MS.2023.3321282

Machine learning is currently undergoing an explosion in capability, popularity, and sophistication. However, one of the major barriers to widespread acceptance of machine learning (ML) is trustworthiness: most ML models operate as black boxes, their...
