We introduce the problem of private information delivery (PID), comprised of $K$ messages, a user, and $N$ servers (each holds $M\leq K$ messages) that wish to deliver one out of $K$ messages to the user privately, i.e., without revealing…
Consider the following problem: given a metric space, some of whose points are "clients", open a set of at most $k$ facilities to minimize the average distance from the clients to these facilities. This is just the well-studied $k$-median…
Knowledge distillation (KD) is one of the most useful techniques for light-weight neural networks. Although neural networks have a clear purpose of embedding datasets into the low-dimensional space, the existing knowledge was quite far from…
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are critical components in modern cyber-physical systems, enabling efficient data collection and fusion through spatially distributed sensors. However, the inherent risks of eavesdropping and packet dropouts…
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant public health challenge, often progressing to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) if not detected and managed early. Early intervention, warranted by silent disease progression, can significantly…
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a growing global health concern, necessitating precise and efficient image analysis to aid diagnosis and treatment planning. Automated segmentation of kidney pathology images plays a central role in…
One of the most natural optimization problems is the k-Set Packing problem, where given a family of sets of size at most k one should select a maximum size subfamily of pairwise disjoint sets. A special case of 3-Set Packing is the well…
In this paper, we propose two exact distributed algorithms to solve mixed integer linear programming (MILP) problems with multiple agents where data privacy is important for the agents. A key challenge is that, because of the non-convex…
The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and other similar protocols send the application data from the source machine to the destination machine inside segments, without foreseeing nor allowing for any type of control on the transmission or…
The secret protection problem (SPP) seeks to synthesize a minimum-cost policy ensuring that every execution from an initial state to a secret state includes a sufficient number of protected events. Previous work showed that the problem is…
Payment channels effectively move the transaction load off-chain thereby successfully addressing the inherent scalability problem most cryptocurrencies face. A major drawback of payment channels is the need to ``top up'' funds on-chain when…
The Student-Project Allocation problem with preferences over Projects (SPA-P) involves sets of students, projects and lecturers, where the students and lecturers each have preferences over the projects. In this context, we typically seek a…
Distributed systems that manage and process graph-structured data internally solve a graph partitioning problem to minimize their communication overhead and query run-time. Besides computational complexity -- optimal graph partitioning is…
Facial recognition technologies are implemented in many areas, including but not limited to, citizen surveillance, crime control, activity monitoring, and facial expression evaluation. However, processing biometric information is a…
Privacy-preserving cryptocurrency exchanges (shielded AMMs, batched swap auctions, sealed-bid order-flow auctions) alter what the pricing mechanism observes about order flow. We derive the unique linear Kyle equilibrium when a committed…
Kidney exchange programs have been developed to find compatible kidneys for recipients who have incompatible donors. On the other hand, patients who do not have a living donor depend upon deceased donor (DD) donations to get a kidney…
This paper investigates parameter-privacy-preserving data sharing in continuous-state dynamical systems, where a data owner designs a data-sharing policy to support downstream estimation and control while preventing adversarial inference of…
The burgeoning need for kidney transplantation mandates immediate attention. Mismatch of deceased donor-recipient kidney leads to post-transplant death. To ensure ideal kidney donor-recipient match and minimize post-transplant deaths, the…
The relationship between acute kidney injury (AKI) prediction and nephrotoxic drugs, or drugs that adversely affect kidney function, is one that has yet to be explored in the critical care setting. One contributing factor to this gap in…
We introduce Knowledge-Driven Program Synthesis (KDPS) as a variant of the program synthesis task that requires the agent to solve a sequence of program synthesis problems. In KDPS, the agent should use knowledge from the earlier problems…
