Minimax Optimal Estimation of Approximate Differential Privacy on Neighboring Databases

Differential privacy has become a widely accepted notion of privacy, leading to the introduction and deployment of numerous privatization mechanisms. However, ensuring the privacy guarantee is an error-prone process, both in designing mechanisms and in implementing those mechanisms. Both types of errors will be greatly reduced, if we have a data-driven approach to verify privacy guarantees, from a black-box access to a mechanism. We pose it as a property estimation problem, and study the fundamental trade-offs involved in the accuracy in estimated privacy guarantees and the number of samples required. We introduce a novel estimator that uses polynomial approximation of a carefully chosen degree to optimally trade-off bias and variance. With n samples, we show that this estimator achieves performance of a straightforward plug-in estimator with n*log(n) samples, a phenomenon referred to as effective sample size amplification. The minimax optimality of the proposed estimator is proved by comparing it to a matching fundamental lower bound.
Particle physics I

Abstract Particle families (quarks and leptons), their properties and their interactions are introduced. The exchange mechanism and the Yukawa potential are discussed. Natural units are explained. The cross-section for e− + e+ → μ− + μ+ is calculated using a first order Feynman diagram. Comparison with data reveals the existence of the Z0-boson and makes a link between electroweak processes. Higher orders diagrams give divergences and their removal by renormalization is described. Neutrino properties are outlined and the determination of the number of light neutrinos related. The weak interaction is discussed: parity and charge parity are seen to be maximally violated in W-boson exchange, but the product is approximately conserved. Handedness is pursued in an appendix using Dirac spinors. The neutrino mass and weak eigenstates differ and this leads to oscillations between weak eigenstates in flight. Measurements of the neutrino flux from the sun revealing this behaviour are described. Weak and strong eigenstates of quarks also differ by a unitary transformation, the CKM matrix. This difference leads to oscillations of certain neutral mesons from particle to antiparticle. This behaviour is explored for neutral K-mesons and for B0d mesons. CP violation is observed, which is required for the survival of matter in the universe.
Person Search Based on Attention Mechanism

Person search has recently gained attention as the new task of jointly optimizing two tasks of person detection and person re-identification. Given the query person image to be searched, it can directly locate the position of the target person from panoramic surveillance images. Person search is more difficult but more practical and meaningful. In this paper, we propose a convolutional neural network for person search based on attention mechanism. Our network consists of two parts, the person proposal network and the identification network. Given a complete images gallery, the person proposal network generates persons’ bounding boxes, which are put into the identification network to extract features that are compared with the query person. Experiments on a large-scale benchmark dataset CUHK-SYSU demonstrate that our network gets better mean Average Precision result of 78.9%.
Linguistic goals in Italian at the end of the triennium of upper-secondary school

Based on the last school reform in Italy, the present paper shows that school education should focus on the development of students’ linguistic competence in Italian. The paper makes proposals, gives examples and evidences some critical points such as the necessity to modernise grammar instruction and to dedicate more attention to aspects of textuality in all school cycles.
EPR and Bell’s theorem, and quantum algorithms

Abstract EPR showed that quantum mechanics is not a local deterministic theory and on this account they argued that it is incomplete. Quantum mechanics predicts correlations over time-like separations. The suggested resolution in terms of local hidden variables is presented. Bell’s analysis leading to experimental tests is described. The experiment of Aspect, Grangier and Roger vindicating quantum mechanics is described. More refined experiments, avoiding conceivable biases, confirm this result. Then computing based on quantum principles is discussed. Bits with two states in a register would be replaced by qubits with values represented by points on the Bloch sphere. Basic gates are presented. Shor’s algorithm to decompose products of primes is described and a gate structure presented to implement it. Implementation would undermine current encryption methods. Quantum cryptography is described using the BB84 protocol. The no-cloning theorem protects this absolutely against attempts to intercept the encryption data.
Hack your old point-and-shoot: Add features to Canon cameras with new firmware - [Resources_Hands On]

A DECADE IS A LONG TIME IN TECHNOLOGY-LONG ENOUGH for a technology to go from hot product to conspicuously obsolete to retro cool. In 2010, IEEE Spectrum's David Schneider wrote about a hack to supplant the firmware in Canon point-and-shoot cameras and add new features, such as motion detection. As it turns out, at the time point-and-shoot cameras were near their zenith of popularity. Since then, while compact stand-alone digital cameras are still being made, their sales have shrunk dramatically. As the smartphone camera became the most ubiquitous type of camera on the planet, point-and-shoot cameras found themselves relegated to the back of the closet.
Uso de Alinhadores Forçados para Avaliação Automática em Larga Escala da Fluência em Leitura

The use of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems has grown significantly in recent years. However, there are not many works that use ASR techniques for evalute reading fluency in literacy. The use of transcription as the only means of evaluation brings some problems by masking the incorrect pronunciation of some words. Therefore, this work proposes the use of forced alignment algorithms combined with the ASR system. The results show that our approach is faster and exceeds the accuracy of others by 22,11\% in a real dataset containing orality tests.

IMPROVING STUDENTS’ NARRATIVE ACHIEVEMENT THROUGH READ-EXAMINE-DECIDE-WRITE (REDW) STRATEGY

This research deals with the improvement of students’ achievement in reading a narrative. The objective was to find out the improvement of students’ achievement in reading a narrative text by using Read-Examine-Decide-Write (REDW) Strategy. It was conducted by using Classroom Action Research. It was done through 1) planning, 2) action, 3) observation and 4) reflection. This research applied qualitative and quantitative data taken from the students’ reading test. Quantitative data were taken from an observation sheet, questionnaire sheet, and diary notes. Based on the reading test scores, students’ score kept increasing in every test. In the pre-test, the mean score was 15.83, in the first Cycle test of meeting I the mean score was 36.17, in meeting II the mean score was 60.17, in meeting III the mean score was 71.17. In the second Cycle test of the fourth meeting, the mean score was 78.5 and the fifth meeting the mean score was 93.67the total of mean score improved from 15.83, 56.60, to 87.5. The improvement also could be seen from the percentage of students’ reading achievement; in Pre-test until the second meeting, no one of the students got up 70 points or 0%. In the third meeting of the first Cycle does not all students got up 70 points or 76.66%. In the second Cycle of the fourth and the fifth meeting, there were all of the students got up 70 points or 100%. The percentage of able students improve from 0%, 76.66%, to 100%. The qualitative data also showed the appropriateness of the strategy applied to reading the narrative text. The diary notes concluded that the students became familiar and comprehensible to the narrative text in virtue of Read-Examine-Decide-Write (REDW) Strategy. It meant that teaching by using Read-Examine-Decide-Write (REDW) could improve the students’ achievement in reading the narrative text because it made them feel comfortable, fun, get new experience and enjoyable. It is suggested to English teachers to teach reading by using Read, Examine, Decide and Write (REDW) strategy in order to improve reading comprehension. As the students’ time to read English text at school is not enough, it is a good idea for the teachers to ask the students to practice reading comprehension strategies that they have learned in reading, Examine, Decide and Write (REDW) strategy.

The research aims to study the current production situation of sugar beet crop in Menia Governorate, Egypt during the period (2001-2017) and to identify the most important factors that affect the quantity of production and analysis of production efficiency, and studying some of the standards of economic efficiency of sugar beet crop in the study sample in Menia Governorate. Sugar production of sugar cane and sugar beet was about 1026.1, 718.5 thousand tons respectively. The self-sufficiency rate of sugar reached 66.1% as an average for the period (2001-2017). The self-sufficiency ratio a generally growing statistically significant trend. While the area cultivated with beet is a growing statistically significant trend in Egypt and Menia governorate. The result showed that the most net return per acre of sugar beet crop was in Mallawy it reached approximately 9819.1 pounds / acre. While in Abou-korkas and the total sample it reached approximately 7281.9 – 8445.6 pounds / acre respectively. The study indicated that the most important problem that faces the producer of sugar beet crop in Menia was increasing in the variable costs; it estimated 14% of producer opinions.
The Effect of Financial Integration on Economic Convergence in Europe

This research aims to identify the effect of financial integration on economic convergence. In the first part of this research a theoretical framework is constructed to analyze the developments of both concepts in the euro area over the research period 1990-2017. Classical economic theory predicts that high factor mobility within an area leads to convergence. On the other hand, theories are discussed which explain the possible negative effects of financial integration on convergence. In the empirical part of the research it is observed that until approximately 2009 the countries in the sample both converged and became more financially integrated. From 2009 onwards, which coincides with the beginning of the Great Recession, both trends get reversed. The direct effect of financial integration on β- and σ-convergence is measured by linear equations that measures convergence complemented with variables for financial integration and an interaction term. In the case of σ-convergence financial integration seems to have a positive effect on convergence. Regarding β-convergence the most remarkable outcome of the linear regression model is that financial integration has an inhibitory effect on economic growth, but this effect dampens when the initial level of wealth is already high. This implies that financial integration has a counteracting effect on convergence since it hurts weaker economies disproportionally. This effect is however only observed over the whole sample period 1990-2017 and is not observed when the sample period is divided into smaller sub-samples. Much caution is therefore needed when making claims about this effect, but the result admits cause to further research.
