This paper presents a secure and flexible Mix-net that has the following properties; it efficiently handles long plaintexts that exceed the modulus size of underlying public-key e...
The problem of minimizing the rank of a matrix subject to linear equality constraints arises in applications in machine learning, dimensionality reduction, and control theory, and...
Interconnect optimization for VLSI circuits has received wide attention. To model routing surfaces, multiple circuit layers are freabstracted as a single rectilinear plane, ignori...
Video adaptation has been considered as a promising technique to tackle challenging problems in pervasive multimedia applications. However, the styles of video representation and ...
We describe a new variational lower-bound on the minimum energy configuration of a planar binary Markov Random Field (MRF). Our method is based on adding auxiliary nodes to every...
