Dynamic-budget superpixel active learning for semantic segmentation by Yuemin Wang, Ian Stavness

“…A static budget could result in over- or under-labeling images as the number of high-impact regions in each image can vary.MethodsIn this paper, we present a novel dynamic-budget superpixel querying strategy that can query the optimal numbers of high-uncertainty superpixels in an image to improve the querying efficiency of regional active learning algorithms designed for semantic segmentation.ResultsFor two distinct datasets, we show that by allowing a dynamic budget for each image, the active learning algorithm is more effective compared to static-budget querying at the same low total labeling budget. …”

Software and hardware co-design of lightweight authenticated ciphers ASCON for the internet of things by Jing WANG, Lesheng HE, Zhonghong LI, Luchi LI, Hang YANG

“…ASCON was the most promising algorithm to become an international standard in the 2021 NIST lightweight authenticated encryption call for proposals.The algorithm was designed to achieve the best performance in IoT resource-constrained environments, and there was no hardware IP core implementation based on this algorithm in the open literature.A software-hardware collaborative implementation method of ASCON was proposed, which improved the speed and reduced the memory footprint of ASCON in IoT security authentication applications through hardware means such as S-box optimization, prior calculation and advanced pipeline design.As a comparison, ASCON has been transplanted on the common IoT embedded processor platform.The results showed that the described method was more than 7.9 times faster, while the memory footprint was reduced by at least 90%.The schemes can be used for the design and implementation of IoT security application-specific integrated circuits or SoCs.…”
