Indoor localization method and system

Martin Vetterli, Reza Parhizkar, Gilles Baechler

An indoor localization method for estimating the location of nodes (n1, n2), at least one node (n1) being connected to at least another node (n2) by at least two different channels (ch1, ch1′), comprising the following steps: measuring a distance between t ...

Discriminative Learning of Deep Convolutional Feature Point Descriptors

Pascal Fua, Eduard Trulls Fortuny

Deep learning has revolutionalized image-level tasks such as classification, but patch-level tasks, such as correspondence, still rely on hand-crafted features, e.g. SIFT. In this paper we use Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to learn discriminant patc ...

Scaling Exponent of List Decoders With Applications to Polar Codes

Rüdiger Urbanke, Seyed Hamed Hassani, Marco Mondelli

Motivated by the significant performance gains which polar codes experience under successive cancellation list decoding, their scaling exponent is studied as a function of the list size. In particular, the error probability is fixed, and the tradeoff betwe ...

Private and Secure Public-Key Distance Bounding: Application to NFC Payment

Serge Vaudenay

Distance-Bounding is used to defeat relay attacks. For wireless payment systems, the payment terminal is not always online. So, the protocol must rely on a public key for the prover (payer). We propose a generic transformation of a (weakly secure) symmetri ...

Right-Protected Data Publishing with Provable Distance-Based Mining

Michail Vlachos, Nikolaos Freris

Protection of one's intellectual property is a topic with important technological and legal facets. We provide mechanisms for establishing the ownership of a dataset consisting of multiple objects. The algorithms also preserve important properties of the d ...

Location leakage in distance bounding: Why location privacy does not work

Serge Vaudenay, Aikaterini Mitrokotsa

In many cases, we can only have access to a service by proving we are sufficiently close to a particular location (e.g. in automobile or building access control). In these cases, proximity can be guaranteed through signal attenuation. However, by using add ...

Optimal Swarm Formation for Odor Plume Finding

Ali Marjovi

This paper presents an analytical approach to the problem of odor plume finding by a network of swarm robotic gas sensors, and finds an optimal configuration for them, given a set of assumptions. Considering cross-wind movement for the swarm, we found that ...

Spinning AdS propagators

We develop the embedding formalism to describe symmetric traceless tensors in Anti-de Sitter space. We use this formalism to construct the bulk-to-bulk propagator of massive spin J fields and check that it has the expected short distance and massless limit ...

Adaptive Penalty-Based Distributed Stochastic Convex Optimization

Ali H. Sayed

In this work, we study the task of distributed optimization over a network of learners in which each learner possesses a convex cost function, a set of affine equality constraints, and a set of convex inequality constraints. We propose a fully distributed ...

Theoretical Analysis of Euclidean Distance Matrix Completion for Ad hoc Microphone Array Calibration

Mohammadjavad Taghizadeh

We consider the problem of ad~hoc microphone array calibration where the distance matrix consisted of all microphones pairwise distances have entries missing corresponding to distances greater than

d_{\text{max}}

. Furthermore, the known entries are noisy ...
