In today's digital age, multimedia consumption is pervasive, driven by video-on-demand platforms, online social networks, and sensor networks. Whether it is the latest blockbuster movie on a streaming service or real-time ...

Caching has been considered as a promising technique to handle the exponential growth of wireless data traffic. The caches distributed across the network are utilized to shift some of the peak-hour traffic to off-peak ...

The goal of group testing, also called pool testing, is to successfully identify a set of k defectives from a population of n items using only m (< n) group tests. In each group test, a subset of the n items is tested ...

No-reference (NR) video quality assessment (VQA) refers to the study of the quality of degraded videos without the need for reference pristine videos. The problem has wide applications ranging from the quality assessment ...

The study of Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) reliability within Integrated Circuits (IC) is crucial due to its direct influence on electronic device performance, longevity, and functionality. As semiconductor technology ...

Electromagnetic pulse manufacturing is an emerging non-conventional manufacturing technique used for the forming of workpieces at very high strain rates. The manufacturing assembly consists of the tooling coil (or actuator), ...

Integrated photonics is a promising technology for realizing miniaturized optical systems with enhanced stability and performance for applications in light-based communication, sensing, imaging, biomedical diagnostics etc. ...

We consider a sequential multi-task problem, where each task is modeled as a stochastic multi-armed bandit with K arms. We study the problem of transfer learning in this setting and propose algorithms based on UCB to ...

Wireless communication has become an essential necessity in our day-to-day life with majority of these systems currently use radio frequency (RF) technology to transmit information. To meet the high end requirements, new ...

In cryptography, deniability is a crucial concept that allows a participant to plausibly deny taking part in executing a scheme or protocol. Non-interactive zero-knowledge (NIZK) proofs enable a party (the prover) to ...
