Improvements on the Superpixel Hierarchy Algorithm with Applications to Image Segmentation and Saliency Detection

Superpixel techniques aim to divide an image into predefined number of regions or groups of pixels, to facilitate operations such as segmentation. However, finding the optimal number of regions for each image becomes a difficult task due to the large difference of features observed in images. However, with the help of edge and color information, we can target an ideal number of regions for each image. This work presents two modifications to the known Superpixel hierarchy algorithm. These changes aim to define the number of superpixels automatically through edge information with different orientations and the Hue channel of the HSV color model. The results are presented quantitatively and qualitatively for edge detection and saliency estimation problems. The experiments were conducted on the BSDS500 and ECSSD datasets.
Efficient Signatures on Randomizable Ciphertexts.

Randomizable encryption lets anyone randomize a ciphertext so it is distributed like a fresh encryption of the same plaintext. Signatures on randomizable ciphertexts (SoRC), introduced by Blazy et al. (PKC’11), let one adapt a signature on a ciphertext to a randomization of the latter. Since signatures can only be adapted to ciphertexts that encrypt the same message as the signed ciphertext, signatures obliviously authenticate plaintexts. SoRC have been used as a building block in e-voting, blind signatures and (delegatable) anonymous credentials.

Factorization of Univariate Polynomials over Finite Fields

The topic of the present chapter is the factorization of univariate polynomials over finite fields, with emphasis on the methods of Berlekamp and of Niederreiter.Nevertheless, some of the ideas work for perfect fields in general, and therefore we will restrict attention to finite fields only where necessary. The first two sections are devoted to two particular partial factorizations of a polynomial, the square-free factorization and the distinct degree factorization. After that we develop the method of Berlekamp in Sections 6.3-6.5. In Sections 6.6, 6.8 and 6.9 we discuss the method of Niederreiter, and in Section 6.7 connections between the Berlekamp algebra and the Niederreiter space associated to a polynomial are studied.

Evaluation of Causal Structure Learning Algorithms via Risk Estimation

Recent years have seen many advances in methods for causal structure learning from data. The empirical assessment of such methods, however, is much less developed. Motivated by this gap, we pose the following question: how can one assess, in a given problem setting, the practical efficacy of one or more causal structure learning methods? We formalize the problem in a decision-theoretic framework, via a notion of expected loss or risk for the causal setting. We introduce a theoretical notion of causal risk as well as sample quantities that can be computed from data, and study the relationship between the two, both theoretically and through an extensive simulation study. Our results provide an assumptions-light framework for assessing causal structure learning methods that can be applied in a range of practical use-cases.
On Robustness of the Normalized Subgradient Method with Randomly Corrupted Subgradients

Numerous modern optimization and machine learning algorithms rely on subgradient information being trustworthy and hence, they may fail to converge when such information is corrupted. In this paper, we consider the setting where subgradient information may be arbitrarily corrupted (with a given probability) and study the robustness properties of the normalized subgradient method. Under the probabilistic corruption scenario, we prove that the normalized subgradient method, whose updates rely solely on directional information of the subgradient, converges to a minimizer for convex, strongly convex, and weakly-pseudo convex functions satisfying certain conditions. Numerical evidence on linear regression and logistic classification problems support our results.
Modeling of pedagogical support for self-development of adolescents in additional education in the context of the methodology of the reflexive-value approach

The change in the social and educational situation in the country has actualized the development of subject-oriented models of pedagogical support for students, the search for effective ways to create conditions for the self-development of students. In modern school programs, as well as in educational programs of additional education for children, there are practically no special classes devoted to the construction and implementation of self-development projects by adolescents. The article proposes a model of pedagogical support for self-development of adolescents in additional education, methodologically based on the reflexive-value approach developed by the author within the framework of the scientific school of M.I. Rozhkov, and technologically based on the compilation and implementation of individual self-development projects by adolescents. The presented model can be considered as a pedagogical product and educational resource that allows solving a whole range of problems based on the personal and social needs of both adolescents themselves and society as a whole. The implementation of the presented model presupposes building the educational process in the additional education of children with a focus on the self-development of students, while accompaniment is considered as a special type of pedagogical interaction aimed at stimulating pupils' awareness of the meaning of their own life and its value components and building on their basis a project of their own life.&#x0D; Acknowledgments: The reported study was funded by RFBR, project number 20-013-00616.

The hyplet - Joining a Program and a Nanovisor for real-time and Performance

This paper presents the concept of sharing a hyper-visor address space with a standard Linux program. In this work, we add hypervisor awareness to the Linux kernel and execute code in the HYP exception level through using the hyplet. The hyplet is an innovative way to code interrupt service routines and remote procedure calls under ARM. The hyplet provides high performance and run-time predictability. We demonstrate the hyplet implementation using the C programming language on an ARM8v-a platform and under the Linux kernel. We then provide performance measurements, use cases, and security scenarios.
Improving Generalization of Deep Fault Detection Models in the Presence of Mislabeled Data

Mislabeled samples are ubiquitous in real-world datasets as rule-based or expert labeling is usually based on incorrect assumptions or subject to biased opinions. Neural networks can memorize these mislabeled samples and, as a result, exhibit poor generalization. This poses a critical issue in fault detection applications, where not only the training but also the validation datasets are prone to contain mislabeled samples. In this work, we propose a novel two-step framework for robust training with label noise. In the first step, we identify outliers (including the mislabeled samples) based on the update in the hypothesis space. In the second step, we propose different approaches to modifying the training data based on the identified outliers and a data augmentation technique. Contrary to previous approaches, we aim at finding a robust solution that is suitable for real-world applications, such as fault detection, where no clean, noise-free validation dataset is available. Under an approximate assumption about the upper limit of the label noise, we significantly improve the generalization ability of the model trained under massive label noise.

Parallel Programming Models for Cloud Computing

The awareness of cloud computing changed the way of using computing resources. Since high performance computing (HPC) has long suffered from excessive use of resources, many HPC researchers are trying to adapt HPC applications to the cloud environment. Through applicable adaptation, HPC applications are able to improve their resource utilization and scalability through the use of virtual resources and upon-demand. Whereas discussing HPC over clouds, we should discuss parallel programming models as well. Diverse parallel programming models and frameworks (such as MPI, OpenMP, OpenCL, CUDA, and MapReduce) are suggested for parallel computing. For example, the MapReduce programming model has been used for a lot of large data-processing applications because it helps reduce the complexity of balancing problems such as decomposition, connectivity, and scheduling. On the other hand, a parallel paradigm programming model for HPC applications must be chosen to achieve high-performance and efficient resource use because the target device constructs are different as well as levels of abstraction. Additionally, as traditional parallel programming paradigms, such as MPI, are implemented for a single leased cluster environment, applying these paradigms to HPC applications on the cloud is a challenge in terms of resource management.This Special Issue’s objectives include but are not limited to novel programming models and frameworks, or extensions of existing programming models, to ease offloading and parallelization of computation to cloud computing for emerging scientific computing applications; novel architectural concepts to boost software execution and to overcome scalability issues of current heterogeneous parallel systems; many-core HW/SW design and applications; software engineering, code optimization, and code generation strategies for parallel systems with heterogeneous processors; multi- and many core-aware approaches for large-scale parallel simulations in both implementation and algorithm design, including scalability studies, application parallelization use cases.
