A Gapless Post-quantum Hash Proof System in the Hamming Metric

A hash proof system (HPS) is a form of implicit proof of membership to a language. Out of the very few existing post-quantum HPS, most are based on languages of ciphertexts of code-based or lattice-based cryptosystems and inherently suffer from a gap cause ...

Tangent functional connectomes uncover more unique phenotypic traits

Mingkui Wang, Enrico Amico

Functional connectomes (FCs) containing pairwise estimations of functional couplings between pairs of brain regions are commonly represented by correlation matrices. As symmetric positive definite matrices, FCs can be transformed via tangent space projecti ...

Metric learning for kernel ridge regression: assessment of molecular similarity

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Friedrich Eisenbrand, Raimon Fabregat I De Aguilar-Amat, Puck Elisabeth van Gerwen, Matthieu Nicolas Haeberle

Supervised and unsupervised kernel-based algorithms widely used in the physical sciences depend upon the notion of similarity. Their reliance on pre-defined distance metrics-e.g. the Euclidean or Manhattan distance-are problematic especially when used in c ...

fGOT: Graph Distances Based on Filters and Optimal Transport

Pascal Frossard, Mireille El Gheche, Hermina Petric Maretic

Graph comparison deals with identifying similarities and dissimilarities between graphs. A major obstacle is the unknown alignment of graphs, as well as the lack of accurate and inexpensive comparison metrics. In this work we introduce the filter graph dis ...

Interpretable Social Anchors for Human Trajectory Forecasting in Crowds

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Parth Ashit Kothari, Brian Alan Tappy-Sifringer

Human trajectory forecasting in crowds, at its core, is a sequence prediction problem with specific challenges of capturing inter-sequence dependencies (social interactions) and consequently predicting socially-compliant multimodal distributions. In recent ...

On the Limitations of Cross-lingual Encoders as Exposed by Reference-Free Machine Translation Evaluation

Robert West, Maxime Jean Julien Peyrard, Yang Gao

Evaluation of cross-lingual encoders is usually performed either via zero-shot cross-lingual transfer in supervised downstream tasks or via unsupervised cross-lingual textual similarity. In this paper, we concern ourselves with reference-free machine trans ...

Compressed sensing with signal averaging for improved sensitivity and motion artifact reduction in fluorine-19 MRI

Tobias Kober, Tom Hilbert, Ruud van Heeswijk, Jérôme Yerly

Fluorine-19 (F-19) MRI of injected perfluorocarbon emulsions (PFCs) allows for the non-invasive quantification of inflammation and cell tracking, but suffers from a low signal-to-noise ratio and extended scan time. To address this limitation, we tested the ...
