Channelized coinShuffle++ : practical unlinkability in the ethereum blockchain by Xiong, Luoyuan

“…The duplication of ledger provides public verifiability while also give rise to deanonymization attacks and unlinkability violations, where users’ real world identities are linked to their pseudonymous blockchain accounts. Even though some recently proposed protocols that utilize Ring Signatures [1] or Zero Knowledge Proof [2] have effectively mitigated those attacks, the computational overhead and monetary cost that comes along with those fancy cryptographic primitives render them less usable, which arguably contribute to their poor adoption. …”

Efficient search termination without task experience by Mazor, M, Fleming, SM

“…As a general rule, if it is easy to detect a target in a visual scene, it is also easy to detect its absence. To account for this, models of visual search explain search termination as resulting either from counterfactual reasoning over second-order representations of search efficiency, automatic extraction of ensemble statistics of a display, or heuristic adjustment of a search termination strategy based on previous trials. …”

Metaverse real estate virtual reality by Lim, Delon Long Ting

“…Transactions in the real estate industry are constrained by various factors – distance (i.e., the property being too far or inaccessible), time (i.e., potential buyers being unable to attend viewings at preferred timings) and physical (i.e., unable to modify the settings within the property to give buyers a clearer idea of how the space could be transformed into their ideal home. Taking into account these limitations, we present The Real Estate Metaverse, a new platform that seeks to overcome these barriers with the use of Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR). …”
