題目: Nonexistence of k-uniform states

概要: K-multipartite maximally entangled pure states or k-uniform for short, have numerous applications such as in quantum teleportation, quantum key distribution, threshold quantum secret sharing schemes, and quantum error correcting codes. Different constructions for such states have been put forward, based on graph states, MDS codes, and combinatorial designs. However, for many cases it is still unknown whether or not a k-uniform state exists. In this talk, we present our recent work on the nonexistence of k-uniform state.

題目: Some recent progresses of biomedical signal processing and imaging with deep neural network

概要:  Deep learning (DL) techniques have had a profound impact on computer vision, image analysis and natural language processing applications. DL provides a powerful tool to build a universal mapping between the user-designed input and output with neural networks. In recent years, researchers have paid great efforts to study the DL methods from various perspectives. In this talk, we will review some recent progresses of applying DL methods to biomedical signal processing and imaging problems. Particularly, we will talk about the remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) technique, a contactless video-based heart rate monitoring method and the real-time inverse scattering technique, which detects the hidden target using electromagnetic waves. We will show how the DL methods renovate these two research areas. Some future research topics will also be discussed.

Personal Information: Prof. Rencheng Song received his B.S. degrees in Mathematics from Jilin University, Changchun, China, in 2005, and the Ph.D. degree from Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China in 2010. He is currently an associate professor with the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Hefei University of Technology. His research interests include mainly biomedical signal processing and electromagnetic inverse problems. In particular, he is interested in remote photoplethysmography, inverse scattering and deep learning for biomedical applications.

題目:
Adaptive Algorithms in Group Testing

概要: 
The notion of group search was proposed sometime in World War II. Robert Dorfman published a paper to describe such a novel idea. The purpose of the project is to weed out all syphilitic men called up for induction to the war. Testing an individual for syphilis involves drawing a blood sample and analysing the sample to determine the presence or absence of syphilis. However, testing every soldier individually would have been very costly. "Group Testing" idea was then proposed by a coworker of R. Dorfman, D. Rosenblatt.
    Basically there are two types of searching algorithms: Adaptive and non-adaptive. If the knowledge about the tests (positive or negative) can be adapted to decide which set of items is to be tested in next step, then the algorithm is called an adaptive algorithm. On the other hand, if all tests are designed and running simultaneously, the algorithm is non-adaptive.
    In this talk, I shall introduce some of the known adaptive algorithms and then present a couple of new results we obtain recently. One of them is for the classical model, called “Quaternary splitting algorithm” and the other one deals with complex model, it is known as a “learning hidden graphs” problem.

題目: 
Shift-invariant Channel Hopping Sequences for Cognitive Radio Networks

概要:  
In cognitive radio networks, establishing a communication link between a pair of secondary users (SUs) 
requires them to rendezvous on a common channel which is not occupied by primary users (PUs). Asynchronous channel hopping (CH) sequences with full degree-of-rendezvous (DoR) enable a pair of SUs to meet on every channel without requiring clock synchronization, and hence minimize rendezvous failures due to the appearance of PU signals. In this talk, we revisit the shift-invariant (SI) sequences, which is used to achieve throughput-invariant and zero-packet-loss throughput 1 for a collision channel without feedback, and generalize them to CH sequences. It shows the SI property of the new CH sequences will enjoy the smallest rendezvous-success-rate (RSR) variance in the cognitive radio networks in various collision-avoidance scenarios.

マトロイドとは、行列やグラフの概念を抽象化した合せ構造であり、グラフ理論をはじめとした合せの様々な分野と深い関係がある。本講演では、前半にマトロイドについての入門的な話題を紹介し、後半はマトロイドと有限体上の符号との関係を双対性や多項式・行列を用いて表現し、符号理論の立場からマトロイドを考察する。

講演題目:
Practical Threshold Password Authenticated Secret Sharing (TPASS) Protocol

アブストラクト:
Threshold password-authenticated secret sharing (TPASS) protocols allow a client to secret-share a secret s among n servers and protect it with a password pw, so that the client can later recover s from any subset of t of the servers using the password pw, but so that no coalition smaller than t learns anything about s or can mount an offline dictionary attack on the password pw. Some TPASS protocols have appeared in the literature recently. The protocol by Bagherzandi et al. (CCS 2011) leaks the password if a client mistakenly executes the protocol with malicious servers. The first t-out-of-n TPASS protocol for any n > t that does not suffer from this shortcoming was given by Camenisch et al. (CRYPTO 2014). This protocol, proved to be secure in the UC framework, requires the client to involve in many communication rounds so that it becomes impractical for the client. In this paper, we present a practical TPASS protocol which is in particular efficient for the client, who only needs to send a request and receive a response. In addition, we have provided a rigorous proof of security for our protocol in the standard model.

講演題目:Codes of Symbol-equity and Related Discrete Structures 

アブストラクト:
Power line communication (PLC) is a technology which enables the transmission of data on high voltage electric power lines. Recently, there has been a renewed interest in high-speed narrowband PLC. The code is then required to be of ``symbol-equity" in order to overcome permanent narrowband disturbance. This motivates the study of symbol-equity codes. In this talk, we discuss symbol-equity codes and their related discrete structures, including some recent research progress. The combinatorial feature of constant-composition codes of symbol-equity is also mentioned.

講演題目:
Fingerprinting problem: Basic results and some variations

Abstract:
Digital fingerprinting is a technique of protecting copyrighted data against unauthorized distribution by equipping copies of the data with unique ``fingerprints'' that enable the data distributor to locate the source of pirated copies. The fingerprint design problem is difficult because users of the system may form coalitions in order to create a pirated copy of the data that obfuscates their identities. 

In the first part of the talk we give a formal definition of the problem and overview the known results related to the maximum possible number of system's users under the condition of reliable recovery of at least one of the pirates.We then focus on two versions of the main problem. The first of them relates to hierarchical fingerprinting where the system is designed to provide different levels of protection against attacking coalitions of different size. Taking inspiration from the information-theoretic problem of ``unequal error protection,'' we give lower bounds on the number of users of the system (joint work with N.P. Anthapadmanabhan, ISIT 2010).

In the second part we consider a more stringent version of the problem called codes with the identifiable parent property (IPP codes). Such codes are known to be related to various constructions of separating hash arrays, and we develop this connection to prove some exact results in the problem of IPP codes with errors or erased symbols in the fingerprint (joint work with G. Kabatiansky, IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory, February 2013).
