Communication-efficient federated learning method via redundant data elimination by Kaiju LI, Qiang XU, Hao WANG

“…To address the influence of limited network bandwidth of edge devices on the communication efficiency of federated learning, and efficiently transmit local model update to complete model aggregation, a communication-efficient federated learning method via redundant data elimination was proposed.The essential reasons for generation of redundant update parameters and according to non-IID properties and model distributed training features of FL were analyzed, a novel sensitivity and loss function tolerance definitions for coreset was given, and a novel federated coreset construction algorithm was proposed.Furthermore, to fit the extracted coreset, a novel distributed adaptive sparse network model evolution mechanism was designed to dynamically adjust the structure and the training model size before each global training iteration, which reduced the number of communication bits between edge devices and the server while also guarantees the training model accuracy.Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves 17% reduction in communication bits transmission while only 0.5% degradation in model accuracy compared with state-of-the-art method.…”

New attacks against reduced Rijndael‐160 by Xiaoli Dong, Yongzhuang Wei

“…For the improved 8‐round ID attacks, to take advantage of the key‐schedule weaknesses for Rijndael‐160 under key sizes of 160 and 256 bits, some new attack paths are found. With these attack paths, the 5‐round IDs are proposed based on the property of MixColumns above, and then the attacks on the 8‐round Rijndael‐160 under key sizes of 160 and 256 bits are performed. …”

Locality preserving binary face representations using auto‐encoders by Mohamed Amine Hmani, Dijana Petrovska‐Delacrétaz, Bernadette Dorizzi

“…Using a pretrained convolutional neural network and training the model on a cleaned version of the MS‐celeb‐1M database, binary representations of length 4096 bits and 3300 bits of entropy are obtained. The extracted representations have high entropy and are long enough to be used in crypto‐biometric systems, such as fuzzy commitment. …”

Diversity of Rhizophydiales (Chytridiomycota) in Thailand: unveiling the hidden gems of the Kingdom by Vedprakash G. Hurdeal, Joyce E. Longcore, E. B. Gareth Jones, Kevin D. Hyde, Eleni Gentekaki

“…In the broader spectrum of chytrids, their significance lies not only in their roles as decomposers but also as key players in nutrient cycling within aquatic ecosystems as parasites and saprobes. Baited soil and aquatic samples collected from various provinces of Thailand, yielded new species of the Rhizophydiales (Chytridiomycota), some of which expanded previously single species genera. …”

Loss of pelagic fish and zooplankton density associated with subglacial upwelling in high Arctic estuaries may be mitigated by benthic habitat expansion following tidewater glacier... by Victor Gonzalez Triginer, Arunima Sen, Maxime Geoffroy, Børge Damsgård

“…We developed a sustainable and efficient protocol to safely sample the glacier front and shallow coastal areas using hydroacoustics and a remote autonomous vehicle combined with oceanographic measurements and baited remote cameras. Over 2 years, pelagic density was lowest at the now land-terminating glacier front and highest at the site with lowest terrestrial input. …”
