Single-server Multi-message Private Information Retrieval with Side Information

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Su Li

We study the problem of single-server multi-message private information retrieval with side information. One user wants to recover N out of K independent messages which are stored at a single server. The user initially possesses a subset of M messages as s ...

Crowding asymmetries explained by a model of image segmentation

Michael Herzog, Gregory Francis, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Alban Bornet

In crowding, perception of a target deteriorates when neighboring flankers are presented. Flankers close to the fovea deteriorate performance less strongly than flankers presented peripherally, the well-known crowding asymmetries. For example, we presented ...
