Evaluation and protection of multi-level location privacy based on an information theoretic approach by Wenjing ZHANG, Qiao LIU, Hui ZHU

“…A privacy metric based on mutual information was proposed to measure the privacy leakage occurred when location data owner trust data users at different levels and need to publish the distorted location data to each user according to her trust level,based on which an location privacy protection mechanism (LPPM)was generated to protect user’s location privacy.In addition,based on mutual information,a metric was proposed to measure the privacy leakage caused by attackers obtaining different levels of distorted location data and then performing inference attack on the original location data more accurately.Another privacy metric was also proposed to quantify the information leakage occurred in the scenario based on mutual information.In particular,the proposed privacy mechanism was designed by modifying Blahut-Arimoto algorithm in rate-distortion theory.Experimental results show the superiority of the proposed LPPM over an existing LPPM in terms of location privacyutility tradeoff in both scenarios,which is more conspicuous when there are highly popular locations.…”

A Modified Grey Wolf Algorithm with Applications to Engineering by Vahid Mahboub

“…The grey wolf algorithm is one of the meta-heuristic optimization methods that has recently been widely used by researchers due to its good capabilities. The mechanism is free of derivation, simple in execution and implementation, and only needs target function as input of the problem, among other things that make the gray wolf algorithm popular and of interest. …”

Importer et diffuser la littérature scientifique européenne en Géorgie dans la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle : le discours de vulgarisation de la presse géorgienne by Tamara Svanidzé

“…My work shows in what measure the Georgian press during the second half of the nineteenth century, which constitutes a precious historical resource for the study of time period, offers a global view of the evolution of cultural transfers from Europe to Georgia in the field of popular science. It analyzes the principal mechanisms that allow the flow of ideas in this field, such as the elaboration of a new terminology, the establishment of selection criteria for foreign texts, and development of the discursive strategies facilitating the diffusion of such texts. …”
