A prime example is the website fingerprinting attack (WFA), which targets anonymity networks like Tor, enabling attackers to unveil users' protected browsing activities from traffic data. While state-of-the-art WFAs have achieved remarkable results, they often rely on unrealistic single-website assumptions. In this paper, we undertake an exhaustive exploration of multi-tab website fingerprinting attacks (MTWFAs) in more realistic scenarios. We delve into MTWFAs and introduce MTWFA-SEG, a task involving the fine-grained packet-level classification within multi-tab Tor traffic. By employing deep learning models, we reveal their potential to threaten user privacy by discerning visited websites and browsing session timing. We design an improved fully convolutional model for MTWFA-SEG, which are enhanced by both network architecture advances and traffic data instincts. In the evaluations on interlocking browsing datasets, the proposed models achieve remarkable accuracy rates of over 68.6%, 71.8%, and 76.1% in closed, imbalanced open, and balanced open-world settings, respectively. Furthermore, the proposed models exhibit substantial robustness across diverse train-test settings. We further validate our designs in a coarse-grained task, MTWFA-MultiLabel, where they not only achieve state-of-the-art performance but also demonstrate high robustness in challenging situations.","PeriodicalId":48690,"journal":{"name":"Tsinghua Science and Technology","volume":"30 2","pages":"830-850"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10786942","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142797957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper introduces cooperative jamming to cognitive radio (CR) networks with non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technology. The secure performance of the considered CR and NOMA (CR-NOMA) network is evaluated using two modes: non-cooperative jamming and cooperative jamming. In particular, the secrecy outage probabilities (SOPs) of the primary user (PU) in the two modes are derived under Rician fading channels, based on which, the influences of the transmission signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of secondary users (SUs), the number of SUs, the secrecy rate, and the power allocation coefficient on the SOPs of PU are analyzed thereafter. Both analysis and simulation results show that cooperative jamming effectively prevents eavesdropping behaviour, which reduces the SOP of PU compared to non-cooperative jamming. We also show that the transmission SNR, the number of SUs, the secrecy rate, and the power distribution coefficients greatly influence performance improvement.","PeriodicalId":48690,"journal":{"name":"Tsinghua Science and Technology","volume":"30 2","pages":"708-720"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10786938","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142825880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study uses different methods to handle static and dynamic actions, including regularization and Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) for spatial alignment and temporal discrepancies. A penalty-adjusted single-frame pose similarity method is used to evaluate actions. The lightweight pose estimation model reduces parameters by 85%, uses only 6.6% of the original computational load, and has an average detection missing rate of less than 1%. The average error for static actions is 0.071 with a correlation coefficient of 0.766, and for dynamic actions it is 0.145 with a correlation coefficient of 0.653.

However, existing wearable continuous BP monitoring technologies are often inaccurate and rely on external calibration, limiting their practical application in continuous BP monitoring. To address this challenge, we have developed a Wearable continuous non-invasive BP Monitor (WeBPM) equipped with a finger cuff sensor, capable of monitoring BP continuously and accurately within medical-grade precision. WeBPM integrates advanced finger oscillographic BP measurement technology to provide reliable self-calibration functionality. Moreover, Pulsatile Cycle Volume Adjustment Method (PCVAM) we proposed for the closed-loop phase can continuously track changes in vasomotor tone under a controlled frequency based on pulsatile cycles, thereby enabling continuous BP measurement. In comparative experiments with the Nexfin monitor, WeBPM demonstrates excellent performance in induced dynamic BP experiments, with measurement errors of (-1.4 ± 6.24) mmHg for Systolic BP (SBP) and (-0.82 ± 4.83) mmHg for Diastolic BP (DBP). Additionally, compared to clinical invasive reference measurements, WeBPM's SBP and DBP measurement errors are (-1.74 ± 4.9) mmHg and (0.37 ± 3.28) mmHg, respectively, further proving its outstanding performance.

In this paper, we instead consider another variant and focus on the maximum vertex (k, ℓ)-biplex problem which aims to search for a (k, ℓ)-biplex with the maximum cardinality.

Since clients' local data are non-dependent and identically distributed, partial local models are not consistent with the global model. Existing studies employ model cleaning methods to find inconsistent local models. Model cleaning methods measure the cosine similarity between local models and the global model. The inconsistent local model is cleaned out and will not be aggregated for the next global model. However, model cleaning methods incur negative effects such as large computation overheads and limited updates. In this paper, we propose a data distribution optimization method, called federated distribution optimization (FedDO), aiming to overcome the shortcomings of model cleaning methods. FedDO calculates the gradient of the Jensen-Shannon divergence to decrease the discrepancy between selected clients' data distribution and the overall data distribution. We test our method on the multi-classification regression model, the multi-layer perceptron, and the convolutional neural network model on a handwritten digital image dataset.

Built upon existing segmentation techniques, our approach enhances the dual threshold segmentation process, optimizing the isolation of nucleus and cytoplasm components. This is achieved by adapting threshold values based on image characteristics, resulting in superior segmentation outcomes compared to previous methods. To address challenges, such as noise and incomplete white blood cells, we employ mathematical morphology and median filtering techniques. These methods effectively denoise the images and remove incomplete cells, leading to cleaner and more precise segmentation. Additionally, we propose a unique feature extraction method using a hybrid discrete wavelet transform, capturing both spatial and frequency information. This allows for the extraction of highly discriminative features from segmented images, enhancing the reliability of classification. For classification purposes, we utilize an improved Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) that leverages the extracted features. Our enhanced classification algorithm surpasses traditional methods, ensuring accurate identification of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Our innovation lies in the comprehensive integration of segmentation techniques, advanced denoising methods, novel feature extraction, and improved classification. Through extensive evaluation on bone marrow samples from the Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Image DataBase (ALL-IDB) for Image Processing database using MATLAB 10.0, our method demonstrates outstanding classification accuracy.

Meanwhile, the current industrial chain structure has also become increasingly complex, forming new characteristics of multiplex networked industrial chains. Fluctuations in real-time electricity prices in demand response propagate through the coupling and cascading relationships within and among these network layers, resulting in negative impacts on the overall energy management cost. However, existing demand response methods based on reinforcement learning typically focus only on individual agents without considering the influence of dynamic factors on intra and inter-network relationships. This paper proposes a Layered Temporal Spatial Graph Attention (LTSGA) reinforcement learning algorithm suitable for demand response in multiplex networked industrial chains to address this issue. The algorithm first uses Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) to learn the dynamic temporal characteristics of electricity prices for decision-making. Then, LTSGA incorporates a layered spatial graph attention model to evaluate the impact of dynamic factors on the complex multiplex networked industrial chain structure. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed LTSGA approach effectively characterizes the influence of dynamic factors on intra- and inter-network relationships within the multiplex industrial chain, enhancing convergence speed and algorithm performance compared with existing state-of-the-art algorithms.","PeriodicalId":48690,"journal":{"name":"Tsinghua Science and Technology","volume":"30 2","pages":"528-542"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10786953","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142825866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
