Learning agents, whether natural or artificial, must update their internal parameters in order to improve their behavior over time. In reinforcement learning, this plasticity is ...
In this paper, we study the complexity of secure multiparty computation using only the secure arithmetic black-box of a finite field, counting the cost by the number of secure m...
Reuse of existing libraries simplifies software development efforts. However, these libraries are often complex and reusing the APIs in the libraries involves a steep learning cu...
— Incremental deployment of a new network service or protocol is typically a hard problem, especially when it has to be deployed in the routers. First, an incrementally deployabl...
