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.

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMsSease
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

Memes and other thoughts
1. getting the best information from unstructured data
MEMES AND OTHER THOUGHTS
2. DEFINITIONS - MEME
Mimeme (or Meme) is a unit of cultural transmission,
or imitation and replication and analogous to genes in that it
requires humans to replicate. Memes can be subject to
change through variation, mutation, competition and or
inheritance.
Examples: tunes, ideas, catch-phrases, clothes fashion,
ways of making pots or building arches (Richard Dawkins)
Complex Meme - set of connected memes that carry a
single thought object – somewhat akin to German language
constructions – Autobahnraststätte = car-road-rest-station or
highway service station
3. NEW DEFINITION - MEME
Mimeme (or Meme) - a unit of thought that can be
acquired through acute observation (rare) or cultural
transmission (education, publication, broadcast). Like genes
and alleles memes require a complementary unit (alleme)
for replication. Replication can be simple imitation or
depending on the alleme(s) a mutation, variation,
redefinition or augmentation of the original meme or meme
complex.
Meme Storage Life – Humans can store 1,000,000s
of memes and the associated complementary units in
memory, depending on strength and use of mental muscle.
It is possible that less exercised brain remembers alleme
over meme.
4. NEW DEFINITIONS - ALLEME
Alleme – similar to alleles in genetics, memes need
partner(s) to build a chromosomal pair for transmission. Allemes
provide the cultural and mutable information that helps make
memes consumable. Can be direct or indirect (ie
intended/unintended)
Examples – Tone, color, cultural disposition, time, source
pedigree, freshness
Complex Alleme - set of connected allemes that carry
multiple inferences that can be applied to single of complex
memes
Examples – LMAO, fundamentalist, groovy (compare your
parent saying this versus Austin Powers)
5. PENCIL - A MEMETIC ILLUSTRATION
The word “pencil” appears every other second on Twitter

7. NEW DEFINITIONS – CONTINUED
Anallemic – the closest description to pure thought (e.g.
the smallest particle of matter is an atom – Democritus 700
BC) Anallemic memes are devoid of the color and cultural
spin of allemes. These memes may also be regarded as
principles or fundamental truths.
Oballemic – memes that are fully obscured by allemes,
e.g. sugar water – Pepsi offers free song downloads on
Twitter or the medium is the message. Marshall McLuhan
also said, “A point of view can be a dangerous luxury when
substituted for insight and understanding”.
8. NEW DEFINITIONS - INFLUENCE
Influence – an alleme or set of allemes that excite the
replication and transmission of memes/allemes positively or
negatively.
Influence Graph – the degree of influence the transmitter
contributes to the replication and retransmission of memes. The
degree depends on pedigree (i.e. bloodline of authority), as well
as tone, context and timing . However a strong influencer in the
replication chain enables non-influencers to experience vicarious
authority.
Influence Factors - authority is just one factor, other
allemic factors include celebrity, humor, sensationalism, gossip,
partisanship ……
