Many services today massively and continuously produce log files of different and varying formats. These logs are important since they contain information about the application activities, which is necessary for improvements by analyzing…
Token compression aims to speed up large-scale vision transformers (e.g. ViTs) by pruning (dropping) or merging tokens. It is an important but challenging task. Although recent advanced approaches achieved great success, they need to…
Prevalent predictive coding-based video compression methods rely on a heavy encoder to reduce temporal redundancy, which makes it challenging to deploy them on resource-constrained devices. Since the 1970s, distributed source coding theory…
Network traffic analysis increasingly relies on feature-based representations to support monitoring and security in the presence of pervasive encryption. Although features are more compact than raw packet traces, their storage has become a…
We consider streaming data transmission over a discrete memoryless channel. A new message is given to the encoder at the beginning of each block and the decoder decodes each message sequentially, after a delay of $T$ blocks. In this…
Cache side-channel attacks extract secrets by examining how victim software accesses cache. To date, practical attacks on cryptosystems and media libraries are demonstrated under different scenarios, inferring secret keys and reconstructing…
Compression has emerged as one of the essential deep learning research topics, especially for the edge devices that have limited computation power and storage capacity. Among the main compression techniques, low-rank compression via matrix…
Regular expressions are a concise yet expressive language for expressing patterns. For instance, in networked software, they are used for input validation and intrusion detection. Yet some widely deployed regular expression matchers based…
