Federated Learning with Bayesian Differential Privacy

Boi Faltings, Aleksei Triastcyn

We consider the problem of reinforcing federated learning with formal privacy guarantees. We propose to employ Bayesian differential privacy, a relaxation of differential privacy for similarly distributed data, to provide sharper privacy loss bounds. We ad ...

Reconstruction of 3D scattered data via radial basis functions by efficient and robust techniques

Alberto Crivellaro

We propose new algorithms to overcome two of the most constraining limitations of surface reconstruction methods in use. In particular, we focus on the large amount of data characterizing standard acquisitions by scanner and the noise intrinsically introdu ...

A new method for reducing local heat transfer data in multimicrochannel evaporators

John Richard Thome, Navid Borhani, Nicolas Lamaison, Houxue Huang

Measuring the strong local variation in heat transfer coefficients in multi-microchannel evaporators is related to the inverse heat conduction problem (IHCP). As the local flow heat transfer coefficients change greatly in magnitude from single-phase liquid ...

Template Induction over Unstructured Email Corpora

Julia Proskurnia

Unsupervised template induction over email data is a central component in applications such as information extraction, document classification, and auto-reply. The benefits of automatically generating such templates are known for structured data, e.g. mach ...

On the use of client identity information for face anti-spoofing

André Anjos, Ivana Chingovska

With biometrics playing the role of a password which can not be replaced if stolen, the necessity of establishing counter- measures to biometric spoofing attacks has been recognized. Regardless of the biometric mode, the typical approach of anti-spoofing s ...

Improving Digest-Based Collaborative Spam Detection

Jean-Yves Le Boudec

Spam is usually sent in bulk. A bulk mailing consists of many copies of the same original spam message, each sent to a different recipient. The copies are usually obfuscated, i.e. modified a bit in order to look different from each other. In collaborative ...

Resolving FP-TP Conflict in Digest-Based Collaborative Spam Detection by Use of Negative Selection Algorithm

Jean-Yves Le Boudec

A well-known approach for collaborative spam filtering is to determine which emails belong to the same bulk, e.g. by exploiting their content similarity. This allows, after observing an initial portion of a bulk, for the bulkiness scores to be assigned to ...

AntispamLab - A Tool for Realistic Evaluation of Email Spam Filters

Jean-Yves Le Boudec

The existing tools for testing spam filters evaluate a filter instance by simply feeding it with a stream of emails, possibly also providing a feedback to the filter about the correctness of the detection. In such a scenario the evaluated filter is disconn ...
