The document summarizes two video watermarking algorithms that use Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). The first algorithm embeds watermark bits diagonally in the SVD-transformed U, S, or V matrices of video frames. The second algorithm embeds bits in blocks of the U or V matrices. Both algorithms were evaluated based on imperceptibility, robustness, and data payload. The diagonal embedding achieved better robustness while the block-wise embedding had a higher data payload rate. SVD transforms video frames, distributing the watermark across spatial and frequency domains for improved imperceptibility and robustness against attacks.

DVO was developed as a new architecture for streaming video to address limitations of legacy 1970s video codec technology and UDP networking protocols. Legacy approaches were not designed for stable video transfers over internet and mobile networks and resulted in frequent crashes and data corruption from slow or lost packets. DVO integrates adaptive recursive control of the entire video capture, processing, transfer and feedback process to eliminate these issues. It supports real-time integration of multiple video sources and formats across various applications and platforms. Testing has shown DVO provides significantly higher performance and efficiency for streaming video even with low bandwidth and interruptions compared to legacy approaches.
Digital video has replaced analog video as the preferred method for delivering multimedia content. Video files can be extremely large due to factors like frame rate, image size, and color depth. Common file formats for digital video include AVI, QuickTime, and MP4. Video editing software allows for nonlinear editing with features like transitions, effects, and sound synchronization. Compression techniques help reduce large file sizes, though some quality is lost with lossy compression.

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
