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

“…Our protocols minimize the write-complexity for threshold ECDSA key-generation and signing, while reducing communication and computation overhead. We provide a proof-of-concept implementation of these protocols, written in a smart contract language, deployed on the Secret Network - a blockchain that plays the role of the server. …”

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

“…Besides, a model-free and attack-independent robust index are defined to evaluate the ability of the ML-based stability models against adversarial examples, which can be used to select the candidate model and provide formal robustness guarantee for stability application in practice. Rigorous mathematic proof is provided for the robust index under both linear and non-linear binary scenarios. …”

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

“…Here denotes the condition number of the target distribution. Our proofs rely upon (1) a multiscale construction inspired by work on the Kakeya conjecture in geometric measure theory, and (2) a novel reduction that demonstrates that block Krylov algorithms are optimal for this problem, as well as connections to lower bound techniques based on Wishart matrices developed in the matrix-vector query literature.…”
