Scheme of extending elliptic curve method to three phases by Guiwen LUO

“…Elliptic curve method for integer factorization (ECM) is one of the most popular integer factorization algorithms,and it was firstly proposed by Lenstra in 1985.The original ECM contained just first phase.Since its invention,researches about the algorithm and implementation emerged up,among which the most important improvement is the extension to two phases proposed by Brent and Montgomery.This improvement tremendously strengthened ECM's capacity and efficiency.Elliptic curve method was extended to three phases.Extension method is kind of like “mixing together” the first phase and second phase.Compared to the best current two phases ECM,the new algorithm shows 2 advantages.First,under the same factorization parameters,the proposed algorithm improves the probability of finding out prime factor at the expense of negligible increasement of time.Second,when searching the same prime factor,the proposed algorithm can utilize smaller “smoothness parameters”.…”

A survey on key technologies of privacy protection for machine learning by Zishan LIU, Qiang CHENG, Bo LV

“…With the development of information and communication technology,large-scale data collection has vastly promoted the application of machine learning in various fields.However,the data involved in machine learning often contains a lot of personal private information,which makes privacy protection face new risks and challenges,and has attracted more and more attention.The current progress of the related laws,regulations and standards to the personal privacy protection and data safety in machine learning were summarized.The existing work on privacy protection for machine learning was presented in detail.Privacy protection algorithms usually have influence on the data quality,model performance and communication cost.Thus,the performance of the privacy protection algorithms should be comprehensively evaluated in multiple dimensions.The performance evaluation metrics for the privacy protection algorithms for machine learning were presented,given with the conclusion that the privacy preservation on machine learning needs to balance the data quality,model convergence rate and communication cost.…”

A class of rings which are algebric over the integers by Douglas F. Rall

“…(See [3]) In this paper we develop a structure theory for a class of rings which properly contains the periodic rings. In particular, an associative ring R is said to be a quasi-anti-integral (QAI) ring if for every a≠0 in R there exist a positive integer k and integers n1,n2,…,nk (all depending on a), so that 0≠n1a=n2a2+…+nkak. …”

Entre humour noir et réflexivité : écouter la voix de Moss dans No Country for Old Men by Françoise Sammarcelli

“…The latter slows down the rhythm by introducing discontinuity in the sequence of dramatic actions and combines wisecracking and philosophical reflections; it is also endowed with a special status as it contains Moss’s last words in the text. Lastly, it is worth observing how the film adapts these theatrical or incongruous moments and what it achieves by reducing Moss’s spoken presence, replacing it by visual reflexivity and an increased dramatic tension.…”
