There is a long history of side channels in the memory hierarchy of modern CPUs. Especially the cache side channel is widely used in the context of transient execution attacks and covert channels. Therefore, many secure cache architectures…
Channel memory and inter-symbol interference (ISI) are harmful factors in diffusion-based molecular communication (DBMC) between bionanosensors. To tackle these problems, this paper proposes a lightweight ISI-mitigating coding scheme to…
Many real-world applications require machine-learning models to be able to deal with non-stationary data distributions and thus learn autonomously over an extended period of time, often in an online setting. One of the main challenges in…
In class-incremental learning, an agent with limited resources needs to learn a sequence of classification tasks, forming an ever growing classification problem, with the constraint of not being able to access data from previous tasks. The…
Nowadays, a popular method used for additive watermarking is wide spread spectrum. It consists in adding a spread signal into the host document. This signal is obtained by the sum of a set of carrier vectors, which are modulated by the bits…
Flash memory experiences adverse effects due to radiation. These effects can be raised in terms of doping, feature size, supply voltages, layout, shielding. The the operating point shift of the device forced to enter the logically-undefined…
When we encounter a new person or place, we may easily encode it into our memories, or we may quickly forget it. Recent work finds that this likelihood of encoding a given entity - memorability - is highly consistent across viewers and…
In the era of the internet and smart devices, the detection of malware has become crucial for system security. Malware authors increasingly employ obfuscation techniques to evade advanced security solutions, making it challenging to detect…
The source-coding problem with side information at the decoder is studied subject to a constraint that the encoder---to whom the side information is unavailable---be able to compute the decoder's reconstruction sequence to within some…

We consider lossy source coding when side information affecting the distortion measure may be available at the encoder, decoder, both, or neither. For example, such distortion side information can model reliabilities for noisy measurements,…
Inter-cell interference (ICI) is one of the major performance-limiting factors in the context of modern cellular systems. To tackle ICI, coordinated multi-point (CoMP) schemes have been proposed as a key technology for next-generation…
The readout of a classical memory can be modelled as a problem of quantum channel discrimination, where a decoder retrieves information by distinguishing the different quantum channels encoded in each cell of the memory [S. Pirandola, Phys.…
Contrastive learning has been applied successfully to learn vector representations of text. Previous research demonstrated that learning high-quality representations benefits from batch-wise contrastive loss with a large number of…
Departing from traditional communication theory where decoding algorithms are assumed to perform without error, a system where noise perturbs both computational devices and communication channels is considered here. This paper studies…
Flash memory has been widely adopted as stand-alone memory and embedded memory due to its robust reliability. However, the limited endurance obstacles its further applications in storage class memory (SCM) and to proceed endurance-required…
Disk access latency and transfer times are often considered to have a major and detrimental impact on the running time of software. Developers are often advised to favour in-memory operations and minimise disk access. Furthermore, diskless…
