The humble loop shrinking property played a central role in the inception of modern topology but it has been eclipsed by more abstract algebraic formalism. This is particularly true in the context of detecting relevant non-contractible…
Financial systems run nonstop and must stay reliable even during cyber incidents. Modern attacks move across many services (apps, APIs, identity, payment rails), so defenders must make a sequence of actions under time pressure. Most…
We give an implementation of an algorithm that uses fair coin flips to simulate fair rolls of an $n$-sided die. A register plays the role of an entropy pool and holds entropy that is generated as a by-product during each die roll and that…
Federated Learning (FL) offers collaborative model training without data sharing but is vulnerable to backdoor attacks, where poisoned model weights lead to compromised system integrity. Existing countermeasures, primarily based on anomaly…
Money launderers exploit the weaknesses in detection systems by purposefully placing their ill-gotten money into multiple accounts, at different banks. That money is then layered and moved around among mule accounts to obscure the origin…
The distributed nature of local differential privacy (LDP) invites data poisoning attacks and poses unforeseen threats to the underlying LDP-supported applications. In this paper, we propose a comprehensive mitigation framework for popular…
The main objective of this series of papers is to explore the entire landscape of numerical methods for fast nonlinear Fourier transformation (NFT) within the class of integrators known as the exponential integrators. In this paper, we…
Generalized belief propagation (GBP) has proven to be a promising technique for approximate inference tasks in AI and machine learning. However, the choice of a good set of clusters to be used in GBP has remained more of an art then a…
The text generated by large language models is commonly controlled by prompting, where a prompt prepended to a user's query guides the model's output. The prompts used by companies to guide their models are often treated as secrets, to be…
Modern distributed systems produce massive, heterogeneous logs essential for reliability, security, and anomaly detection. Converting these free-form messages into structured templates (log parsing) is challenging due to evolving formats…
The problems of outliers detection and robust regression in a high-dimensional setting are fundamental in statistics, and have numerous applications. Following a recent set of works providing methods for simultaneous robust regression and…
Colorectal cancer is among the most prevalent cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Detection and removal of polyps at an early stage can help reduce mortality and even help in spreading over adjacent organs. Early polyp detection…
Model repositories such as Hugging Face increasingly distribute machine learning artifacts serialized with Python's pickle format, exposing users to remote code execution (RCE) risks during model loading. Recent defenses, such as…
Selectively picking a target fruit surrounded by obstacles is one of the major challenges for fruit harvesting robots. Different from traditional obstacle avoidance methods, this paper presents an active obstacle separation strategy that…
The distributed matrix multiplication problem with an unknown number of stragglers is considered, where the goal is to efficiently and flexibly obtain the product of two massive matrices by distributing the computation across N servers.…
Several novel statistical methods have been developed to estimate large integrated volatility matrices based on high-frequency financial data. To investigate their asymptotic behaviors, they require a sub-Gaussian or finite high-order…
Strong physical unclonable function (PUF) is a promising solution for device authentication in resourceconstrained applications but vulnerable to machine learning attacks. In order to resist such attack, many defenses have been proposed in…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have become prevalent across diverse sectors, transforming human life with their extraordinary reasoning and comprehension abilities. As they find increased use in sensitive tasks, safety concerns have gained…
Federated learning (FL), as a type of distributed machine learning frameworks, is vulnerable to external attacks on FL models during parameters transmissions. An attacker in FL may control a number of participant clients, and purposely…
Offline reinforcement learning (RL) presents a promising approach for learning reinforced policies from offline datasets without the need for costly or unsafe interactions with the environment. However, datasets collected by humans in…
