Unstoppable Wallets: Chain-assisted Threshold ECDSA and its Applications by Zyskind, Guy, Yanai, Avishay, Pentland, Alex

“…Then, we leverage that model and consider cases where that 'server' is distributed, introducing the novel concept of unstoppable wallets; hence eliminating any single point of failure. Unstoppable wallets are programmable threshold ECDSA wallets that allow users to co-sign transactions with a confidential smart contract, rather than a singular third-party. …”

Preliminary environmental risk consideration for small UAV ground risk mapping by Chung, Han Jie, Mohd Hasrizam Che Man, Sivakumar, Anush Kumar, Low, Kin Huat

“…Consequently, an increase in sUAV traffic may lead to a higher likelihood of failure, and crash occur primarily due to environmental factors. Hence, the objective of this study was to investigate the influence of environmental factors on sUAV operations.The study identifies three environmental risk categories relevant to Singapore’s context, namely weather, obstacle, and signal. …”

Advanced data analytics for future smart grid stability assessment by Ren, Chao

“…Based on several kinds of promising advanced data-analytics technologies, including randomized learning, incremental broad learning (BL), transfer learning (TL), adversarial machine learning (ML), and generative adversarial network (GAN), etc, an intelligent system will be developed to interpret the power grid stability characteristics, and to support stability-constrained operation control actions. Hence, it can make power systems achieve seven goals, including extensibility, efficiency, robustness, security, personalization, reliability, and effectiveness. …”

Query lower bounds for log-concave sampling by Chewi, Sinho, de Dios Pont, Jaume, Li, Jerry, Lu, Chen, Narayanan, Shyam

“…In this work, we establish the following query lower bounds: (1) sampling from strongly log-concave and log-smooth distributions in dimension ≥ 2 requires Ω(log) queries, which is sharp in any constant dimension, and (2) sampling from Gaussians in dimension (hence also from general log-concave and log-smooth distributions in dimension) requires Ωe(min( √ log,)) queries, which is nearly sharp for the class of Gaussians. …”
