Learnable filter-banks for CNN-based audio applications

Nicolas Aspert, Benjamin Ricaud, Helena Peic Tukuljac, Laurent Colbois

We investigate the design of a convolutional layer where kernels are parameterized functions. This layer aims at being the input layer of convolutional neural networks for audio applications or applications involving time-series. The kernels are defined as ...

Watermarking-based Defense against Adversarial Attacks on Deep Neural Networks

James Richard Larus, Xiaoting Li, Dinghao Wu, Junjun Zhang

The vulnerability of deep neural networks to adversarial attacks has posed significant threats to real-world applications, especially security-critical ones. Given a well-trained model, slight modifications to the input samples can cause drastic changes in ...

Sustainability through reuse: a reconfigurable structural system for residential and office buildings

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting, Dario Redaelli, Alex-Manuel Muresan

Current load-bearing systems for buildings rarely have a beneficial end of life. Modular design is a proven solution for revalorizing obsolete structures, but it hardly competes with conventional solutions: the range of future spatial configurations that t ...

mu RAI: Securing Embedded Systems with Return Address Integrity

Mathias Josef Payer

Embedded systems are deployed in security critical environments and have become a prominent target for remote attacks. Microcontroller-based systems (MCUS) are particularly vulnerable due to a combination of limited resources and low level programming whic ...

SoK: Shining Light on Shadow Stacks

Mathias Josef Payer, Xiangyu Zhang

Control-Flow Hijacking attacks are the dominant attack vector against C/C++ programs. Control-Flow Integrity (CFI) solutions mitigate these attacks on the forward edge, i.e., indirect calls through function pointers and virtual calls. Protecting the backwa ...

Improving Scalability of Symbolic Execution for Software with Complex Environment Interfaces

Stefan Bucur

Manual software testing is laborious and prone to human error. Yet, among practitioners, it is the most popular method for quality assurance. Automating the test case generation promises better effectiveness, especially for exposing corner-case bugs. Symbo ...

Lightweight Snapshots and System-level Backtracking

George Candea, Edouard Bugnion, Vitaly Chipounov

We propose a new system-level abstraction, the lightweight immutable execution snapshot, which combines the immutable characteristics of checkpoints with the direct integration into the virtual memory subsystem of standard mutable address spaces. The abstr ...
