Using Kalman Filters to Reduce Noise from RFID Location System by Pedro Henriques Abreu, José Xavier, Daniel Castro Silva, Luís Paulo Reis, Marcelo Petry

“…However, the developers some time neglect the noise introduced by these systems, which prevents these systems from reaching their full potential. Focused on this problem, in this research work a comparison study between three different filters was performed in order to reduce the noise introduced by a location system based on RFID UWB technology with an associated error of approximately 18 cm. …”

Design method of secure computing protocol for deep neural network by Renwan BI, Qianxin CHEN, Jinbo XIONG, Ximeng LIU

“…Aiming at the information leakage problem in the process of deep neural network model calculation,a series of secure and efficient interactive computing protocols were designed between two non-collusive edge servers in combination with the additive secret sharing scheme.Since the nonlinear function cannot be split directly,a set of basic conversion protocols were proposed to realize the secure conversion of additive and multiplicative shares.After a few invokes,the power,comparison,exponential,logarithm,division and other low-level functions can be calculated securely.Due to the characteristics of data transfer and computation,the proposed protocols can be extended to array computation.Theoretical analysis ensures the correctness,efficiency and security of these protocols.The experimental results show that the error of these protocols is negligible,and the computational costs and communication overhead are better than the existing schemes.…”
