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.

Learn how they architected a solution that would simplify scaling while keeping costs under control.
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.

Create the optimum acoustic environment with Pioneer’s MCACC (Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration System), developed with the expertise of professional recording studios. The system — complete with custom microphone — automatically compensates for differences in speaker size, level and distance, and equalizes response.
19. •
The Advanced MCACC uses a 3D calibration method with even more precise measurements by including the time axis. The AV receiv ers also feature a speaker polarity check for detecting misconnected cables, and a reverb measurement display for showing before/after calibration results. The measured data can be saved on your PC via the AVNavigator. The system automatically measures crossover frequency — much easier than the previous manual setting.
20. •
Acoustic standing waves occur when the sound waves from your speaker resonate with those reflected off the walls. Depending on the speaker placement, your listening position or the shape of the room, standing waves have a negative effect on the overall sound, especially in certain lower frequencies. Standing Wave Control effectively decreases resonance and prevents inaccurate EQ-setting calibration.

Jitter causes clock timing error and distorts the D/A conversion timing. This is one of the biggest factors for sound degradation during digital transmission, such as decreased sound localization, and happens even with HDMI connection.
On the Blu-ray Disc player, the audio clock goes through algebraic transformation based on the video pixel clock, then transferred. On the AV
receiver, the audio reference clock is regenerated using PLL in the algebraic value which came with the video pixel clock. So the audio reference
clock is influenced by both the HDMI receiving chip’s PLL performance and the video pixel clock, and can not avoid being regenerated with some
jitter.
Pioneer’s Precision Quartz Lock System (PQLS) was developed as a solution to this problem. PQLS processes D/A conversion using the high-precision crystal oscillator clock instead of the audio clock regenerated in the HDMI receiving chip, and is free from jitter created during HDMI transmission.
25. The data from the Blu-ray Disc player is temporarily buffered in the AV receiver’s memory, then sequentially reproduced in sync with the high-precision crystal oscillator clock to prevent flaw. Additionally, the Blu-ray Disc player’s data transmission clock is controlled by signals from the AV receiver to prevent overflow or underflow in the buffer.
Three types of PQLS are available depending on the connected Blu-ray Disc player.
- PQLS 2ch Audio: For CD playback (LPCM).
- PQLS Multi-Surround: For CD/DVD/BD sources, when the
Blu-ray Disc player output is set to LPCM.
- PQLS Bit-stream: For CD/DVD/BD sources, all the time.
For PQLS to be effective, Control with HDMI needs to be on, and — only for PQLS Multi-Surround — HDMI audio output needs to be set to PCM.
26. Pioneer’s AV receivers feature the Advanced Sound Retriever, which restores the output of compressed audio — such as WMA, MPEG-4 AAC,
and MP3 — to the level of CD sound. The Advanced Sound Retriever creates new signals to restore the minor details left out during the compression process.
27.
28. •
Since the Advanced Sound Retriever is designed with an algorithm optimized to process 128 kbps signal, it did not work well with 8-15 kHz high
frequencies in 64 kbps signal, which is the bit rate for quite a few internet stations. The newly developed Auto Sound Retriever automatically determines the audio signal’s bit rate, and interpolates the data lost during compression. It is especially effective for improv ing the sound quality of low bit-rate content — an ideal feature when switching between internet radio stations with different bit -rates.
31. •
When streaming music via Bluetooth, the sound quality often suffers due to the compression process. Pioneer’s Sound Retriever AIR is the
world’s first technology for improving the quality of Bluetooth transmitted sound. It restores the music cadence lost through compression, and also reduces the noise generated by Bluetooth transmission for a better S/N ratio.

Merely having a high-grade video processor does not guarantee a quality picture — a fine-tuned setup makes the difference. Pioneer engineers have performed rigorous testing to achieve an optimum image from almost any content. This highly -precise conversion is effective for HD as well as SD sources.
46. The AV receivers feature three separate noise reduction circuits for enhanced video performance.
• Component Frame Noise Reduction (YNR/CNR): reduces Gaussian noise without blurring the picture
• Block Noise Reduction: reduces block noise found in flat areas
• Mosquito Noise Reduction: reduces noise along the outline of images
The Pioneer-exclusive advanced PureCinema I/P Converter also helps to remove distracting lines during playback.
47. •
Pioneer AV receivers support 36-bit Deep Colour, featuring smooth gradation steps with more accurate precision of brightness and colour information, resulting in superbly detailed, natural colour.
48. •
Pioneer AV receivers support x.v.Colour, which almost doubles the range of colours (known as the “gamut”) that can be accurately captured, and
reproduced on a compatible display, thereby more closely matching the natural characteristics of the human eye.

Previous AV receiver models only allowed surround back speakers for a 7.1-channel layout (Fig. 1). This year’s lineup provides more options in terms of speaker placement. Combine front wide speakers (Fig. 2) with Pioneer original Wide Surround mode to enjoy more spacious sound in
the front. Or place front height speakers (Fig. 3) and use Dolby Pro Logic IIz for vertical-spreading sound.
55. •
Pioneer’s Wide Surround Mode creates sound with highly dense motion feeling around the front and the sides. Wide Surround Mov ie provides motion feeling in front, while Wide Surround Music creates a wide-spreading sound field in the foreground.
56. •
Dolby Pro Logic IIz realizes more spacious surround sound by adding front height channels to the conventional 5.1ch/7.1ch speaker settings. The enveloping sound with additional depth and dimension creates a lifelike listening experience. Dolby Pro Logic IIz does not require special contents, and works with existing soundtracks.
57. •
Pioneer’s Virtual Speakers feature lets you enjoy full surround sound without placing extra speakers. By turning on Virtual Height, Virtual Surround Back, and Virtual Wide modes, you can experience virtual 11.1-channel sound from a 5.1-channel speaker setting. The sound field can be adjusted with intuitive control on your iPod touch/iPhone/iPad or Android using the iContolAV2012 application.
Virtual Height: If you want to experience vertically falling sound but can not place front height speakers, there’s a perfect solution. Pioneer’s Virtual Height mode (Fig. 4) creates a height sound image without front height speakers, letting you enjoy enveloping virtual 7.1-channel
sound from 5.1-channel speaker settings.
58. Want to be thrilled by surrounding sound from behind, but don’t have the space for surround back speakers? Then try Virtual S urround Back mode (Fig. 5). It simulates 7.1-channel surround sound, giving the impression that you have surround back speakers when listening to a 5.1-channel source.

Previous AV receiver models only allowed surround back speakers for a 7.1-channel layout (Fig. 1). This year’s lineup provides more options in terms of speaker placement. Combine front wide speakers (Fig. 2) with Pioneer original Wide Surround mode to enjoy more spacious sound inthe front. Or place front height speakers (Fig. 3) and use Dolby Pro Logic IIz for vertical-spreading sound.
Pioneer’s Wide Surround Mode creates sound with highly dense motion feeling around the front and the sides. Wide Surround Movie provides motion feeling in front, while Wide Surround Music creates a wide-spreading sound field in the foreground.
Dolby Pro Logic IIz realizes more spacious surround sound by adding front height channels to the conventional 5.1ch/7.1ch speaker settings. The enveloping sound with additional depth and dimension creates a lifelike listening experience. Dolby Pro Logic IIz does not require special contents, and works with existing soundtracks.
Pioneer’s Virtual Speakers feature lets you enjoy full surround sound without placing extra speakers. By turning on Virtual Height, Virtual Surround Back, and Virtual Wide modes, you can experience virtual 11.1-channel sound from a 5.1-channel speaker setting. The sound field can be adjusted with intuitive control on your iPod touch/iPhone/iPad or Android using the iContolAV2012 application.Virtual Height: If you want to experience vertically falling sound but can not place front height speakers, there’s a perfect solution. Pioneer’s Virtual Height mode (Fig. 4) creates a height sound image without front height speakers, letting you enjoy enveloping virtual 7.1-channelsound from 5.1-channel speaker settings.
Want to be thrilled by surrounding sound from behind, but don’t have the space for surround back speakers? Then try Virtual Surround Back mode (Fig. 5). It simulates 7.1-channel surround sound, giving the impression that you have surround back speakers when listening to a 5.1-channel source.
Virtual Wide mode (Fig. 6) is a useful solution for creating the effects of front wide speakers, letting you enjoy surround sound in a rich sound field — all without placing extra speakers.

Dialogue, bass, and surround sound are the three elements of cinema sound. When soundtracks are played on a home theatre at a much lower volume, the impression may become quite different. Optimum Surround is a Pioneer-exclusive listening mode for solving this problem, developed through repeated interviews with actual film makers. For each scene, this technology automatically optimises the balance of the three elements with an original algorithm. Bring home the real thrills of the movie as intended by the creators.
