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.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
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?

3. MY GOAL
My personal project’s topic is Eco-Friendly font, which can make big impact on
environmental and economical field by lots of holes on it. Another topic is that sharing my
final product with people who they want to use it. The Eco-Friendly font, which is my main
topic, has several beneficial impacts. First, it is a font that is beneficial to the environment
because it can save 35.62% amount of ink and toner when we print; while printing 1000
pages with normal font, we can print 13,500 pages with eco-friendly font. This is proven by
the test, which was progressed with the software "Apfill". This test measured the surface
area of the printed ink on the paper; the white paper is 0%, which has nothing printed on
and the paper, which takes ink on its whole surface, is 100%. The result of the test was
that the ink-stained area of the paper with eco-friendly font was 11.17%, which is less
35.62% than the ink-stained area of paper with normal font. In short, the surface area of
the ink that is printed on the paper showed great reduction by using the eco-friendly font.
Moreover, using eco-friendly font can reduce the amount of CO2. The function of saving
ink affects directly on the amount of CO2 that is caused from production of ink. Also,
saving ink results in saving ink cartridge. Every year, over 1000 used ink cartridges are
incinerated and reclaimed. The Eco-friendly font will lengthen their lives, and that makes
less CO2, which is made from incineration of finished cartridge. Second, the eco-friendly
font is also beneficial economically because it can save much ink that using normal font;
by saving ink, users can save money for printing. To make clear, in Korea, a company
prints 10,000 pages yearly in average. Using eco-friendly font can save this; about
$44(¥280) can be saved each year. However, there are also some disadvantages of
using eco-friendly font. First, it is limited to use with black and white print because it is only
set for black printing. In color print, the product will be in lower quality than using black and
white print. Second, it can only used in size of 7-12 because in bigger size, the holes
3
4. appear.
AOIs that I am focusing on are Environment and Human Ingenuity. The reason why I
chose those AOIs is that creating font is related to Human Ingenuity. I planned to design
the font by myself without other’s help so it should relates to Human Ingenuity. Also, the
advantages of the eco-friendly font are mainly about preventing and reducing the pollution
created by printing, so it should relate to Environment.
Goal of my personal project is to create my own eco-friendly font by myself. Also, I
aim to share my final product with BISS community. By this, I’d like to promote eco-friendly
font and make them aware such a small and simple things like using eco-font can change
the world. To realize my goal, when I came up with my final product in March 14, I
published a wiki page about my eco-friendly font. In that web page, the people can
download my font and get the information about the font. I also put the survey link on that
page for getting feedback from the users of the font.
For checking how successful my product is, I am going to use survey. By using some
convenient survey tool in online, I already made the survey that ask the impact that my
font made on them. Moreover, I can get the feedback from the users of the font. The
reason why I chose the survey to measure the success of my project is that online survey
is very convenient. I do not need to visit the people one by one to ask the questions and
listen to their answers. Also, they do not need to face my face directly and answer to me
so they can criticize and give me advice my product more freely and without pressure.
SELECTION OF SOURCES
For my personal project, I used variety of sources. Mostly, I used Internet as the main
source. The Internet provided lots of sub-sources that supported my project a lot. First, I
used search engine for copious research. I used various search engine because each
search engine has their own strong point. For example, I used Google when I need broad
4
5. pictures and broad information of the topic. But when I need some news articles and blog
post for some individual’s opinion, I used Yahoo to search those. These search engine is
very useful tool to get the collection of information but there is also incredible fatal. The
search engines do not prove the every pieces of information from their site. In short, there
is no proof of accuracy of whole bunch of data. In result, I had to judge those data myself
each by each.
The second sub-source provided by Internet was a web site, which is font-creator
site. This web site provides the high quality of font creating service. They gave me the
template and when I turn it in; the template with my designed font should be submitted.
Submitted template is translated into computer font file right after payment. The reason
why I chose this font-creator site is that this site is that I could believe this site. I checked
all the comments of the web-site users to see their satisfaction of the service. Most of them
said that this web site is error-less site and the cost of service is reasonable. For one
template, I should pay $9.95. Also, the reason why I could trust this site was that they
provide the preview service to the users before paying. So I could see what my font would
like to look like exactly before make my decision solid.
The second sub-source of Internet is the online survey tool, SurveyMonkey.
SurveyMonkey provides the survey creating service for free. I chose this source is that I
saw lots of people, who use this source as their product survey in class. Also, Mrs. Lindsay
recommended using SurveyMonkey in G9 Computer Technology class. I also did research
on this website to see safety of the site.
Besides Internet, I used Mrs. Krengel, who is my personal project’s supervisor, as a
feedback giver. Mrs. Krengel gave me lots of useful feedback after watching my final
product and wikispaces. Those feedbacks were used for improving my project better and
check that I am on the right track. Her feedback’s accuracy is really high because she is
the one who looked up my whole project from the beginning and who is one of my grader
5
6. of my personal project.
APPLICATION OF INFORMATION
Before using the information from the sources, I should check and clarify the
accuracy of the information. Firstly, I used the information, which is posted on the official
website such as CNN because those official web site published their data with specific
proof. Second, I used the information that I can notice author of that information. These
were the way that I pre-checked the information, which would like to be used in my
personal project. After this pre-checking step, I categorized the information that I got into
two sections: Eco-Friendly font part and font making process part.
For the Eco-Friendly font, I used the information about the advantage and
disadvantage of the font. Mainly, information about the font was “how it can benefit to our
life practically” This information by research on search engine was used to inspire me to
make solid my topic of personal project and make sure which point I have to focus on. In
the result of analysis of information, I found out that the eco-friendly font is hugely helpful
in environmental field, so I chose Environment as the project AOI. Like this, the information
was not only used to help me to come up with better idea and result but also help other to
have significant idea and concept of my personal project. To illustrate this point, my
wikispaces, which is the place that I documented all the process of the project, is the way
to people can get the information about my personal project. Ms. Lindsay and Ms. Krengel
have the concept and detail idea of my font. This made them possible to know where I am
and lead me to the right track. It also helped them to get the specific idea of my project and
helped me to get proper advice from the two supervisors, and also some visitors of my
wikispaces.
During these processes, there were some questions poped up in my head. First
question was “why proof of accuracy is incredibly important?” The reason why I brought up
6
7. this question is that I spent much time on prove and judge the accuracy of the various
information from search-engine. I didn’t know why this process has to take this much part
of my project but I figured out the answer soon. I experienced that the information without
proof can cause miss-direction of my whole project. During the research, I found one web
site that provides how much money can be saved by using eco-friendly font. They said
over $100 can be saved per year. There was no proof that I can check out but that data
fascinated me to move the focus to economical issue from the environmental issue. But
few days later, I found using the eco-font could save another site that also provides how
much money. They said only $44 per year can be saved and they suggested this idea with
the test that measures the amount of stained-ink area on the paper with eco-friendly font.
That test definitely proved that data is correct and another one is totally exaggerated and
wrong.
The second question that I had was “how can I effectively show the concept of my
project to the people by using my wikispaces?” I had this question when I finished
categorizing the information. The task that I had to do was presenting information on my
wikispaces. I found out the answer very easily because Ms. Lindsay, who is the head
supervisor of G10 personal project. She suggested the template on her wikispaces for all
G10 students who are working on the personal project. She gave the list of questions that I
had to answer to qualify rubric of the project. The answer that I got from Ms. Lindsay does
not need to have any doubt on it because it was a guideline of grading.
ACHIEVING MY GOAL
My personal project’s product was not that successful. The main specialty of the font
was the holes that make the font eco-friendly. Those holes were gone during the process
in the font-creator web site. I guess the web site’s application of font creating assumed the
holes on the template as a error during scanning process so they filled out those holes by
7
8. themselves. Or, I guess that the holes that I put the template were too small to read for the
web-site’s font creating system. As a result, originally I made more than 30 holes for one
letter in the template but in the real font file, there are only 10 holes for one letter. More
than half of holes were diminished during the process and than means the impacts of my
font also decreased. In short, my font is not working as what I expected. However, in other
point of view, it was quite successful because the promotion of my font was successful. I
made a short video and a poster to promote my font through the BISS community. I also
created one wikispaces page that provides download service of my font and providing
information of eco-friendly font. I sent the link of the web page through the Studywiz mail,
which is the mail system shared with whole BISS community. Most of them visited my web
site and downloaded my font. Some of them answered to my survey for the feedback and
gave their friendly advice to me by mail or leaving comment on the discussion tab in my
wikispaces. Following the survey, most of them answered, they became aware how my
font can reduce environmental pollution and amount of pollution that caused by printing
with just normal font. So I think even though my product was not that successful, my goal
was cleared pretty successfully.
To check the process of making font was well-organized as what I planed in
specification, I compared each step I took with the planed process in specification. First,
following the process journal, I considered few options for font-creator website. From the
research, I found the best website and learned how to use that web site. Then, I
downloaded the template, which that web site provide. I finished putting my design on the
template and submit. Then, I charged money and download the final product, which is the
font. Most of the steps that I took fit to the process specifications that I planned. However, I
mistakenly missed one step, which was doing pre-view. To clarify, I did preview but I didn’t
make sure that preview shows everything that I expected. On the specification, there is a
step for preview to check quality of the product. I missed that part because I didn’t see that
8
9. there were no holes. That results the 50% fail of my goal, which is making perfect eco-
friendly font.
REFLECTION ON LEARNING
From the Personal Project, I learned variety things in many different aspects. First, I
learned time managing skill by the project. The Personal Project is the project, which is
designed by myself start from the end. It means that I have to mange all the time schedule
without help to do not miss the deadline by myself unlike school assignments that have
due date and the reminders of the teachers. I missed few deadlines by my mistake
because I missed my own deadline for research. One missing deadline messed up whole
timetable because all the schedules were delayed because of the first missing deadline. I
realized that time managing skill is very important skill because time management skill
should be used in every works. Learning this time management skill from the project
probably help out all the tasks and assessments. Using time wisely will lead to well-
organized and successful result of every task. Another skill that I learned from the project
was the research skill. During researching the information, which the Personal Project
required to me, Not only research in broad fields, but also proving and judging of data was
the crucial skill that I learned in this project. Most of the work in school asks me to do
research but I was always not sure about reliability of the data from the Internet. All tips
that I learned from the project will be used really usefully in all the schoolwork and tasks in
my life.
From my AOIs, which are Environment and Human Ingenuity, taught me various
things. First, from the Environment AOI, I learned that the environmental issue should be
considered as the number one because it directly relates to the human’s life. It decides the
future of human’s life because if the environmental issues do not resolve by human, who
cause a all those problems, will cause the terrible disaster. Also, by focusing the
9
10. Environment AOI, I could aware that small and simple things like using eco-friendly font
when do print can make the difference and that small difference can affect world-widely.
Secondly, Human Ingenuity taught me what aspects are need to be a creator. For being a
good creator, the people should think creatively and tried to see in different point of view
with others. However, thinking differently with others is the not only way to be a good
creator. They should care variety of factors that their creativity can affect on. Such as
economical beneficial and environmental beneficial are the examples of those factors. I
would say Human Ingenuity is the meeting point of all the AOIs.
By doing the Personal Project, I developed as a learner, too. I showed great
development on the aspect of a thinker. I was thoughtful when I faced with the problems
during the project. I independently solve the problems and make my own responsible
decision. By my thoughtful attitude toward the project, I could lead my project without
struggling for a long time in one problem. For example, when I met the problem of
choosing the tool to share my font with BISS community, I thoughtfully analyzed the
problem and possible solutions. I independently solved this problem by check what is the
most familiar tool for BISS community and I took the responsibility of my decision because
that decision is also a part of my project. Besides aspect of the thinker, I also improved as
a communicator. During the keep touching with supervisor, I could be trained as a
communicator, who can understand and get the useful and helpful advice from the people.
Also, during the process of getting feedback from BISS community made me as an active
communicator, who can lead and control the communication by my need. Moreover, the
Personal Project trained me as a good listener because to know others opinion, listening is
the best way to understand them.
