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.
Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

4. Introduction to Bot Framework Composer
Within this tool, you'll find everything
you need to build a sophisticated
conversational experience:
• A visual dialog editor
• Tools to train and manage Language
Understanding (LU)
• A powerful language generation and
templating system
• A ready-to-use bot runtime executable
5. Advantage of developing bots with
Composer
Below are some of the advantages of developing bots in Composer:
• Adaptive dialogs allow for Language Generation (LG), which can simplify
interruption handling and give bots character
• The visual representation and editing in Composer eliminates the need for
boilerplate code and makes bot development more accessible
• No longer need to navigate between experiences to maintain LU model as it
is editable within the app
• Time saved with fewer steps to set up your environment and start bots
8. With Language Generation, previously complex tasks can be quickly achieved,
like:
• Including dynamic elements in messages
• Generating grammatically correct lists, pronouns, articles
• Providing context-sensitive variation in messages
• Creating Adaptive Cards attachments, as seen above
9. Unified toolset
When building bots in Composer, developers will have access to:
• Adaptive dialogs and the Bot Framework SDK
• Language Understanding service from LUIS
• Built-in Language Generation and expression library
• QnA Maker capabilities
• Bot Framework Emulator
Bot Framework Composer is an integrated development tool for developers and multi-disciplinary teams to build bots and other types of conversational software with the Microsoft Bot Framework. Composer enables teams to create bots that use the latest features from the Bot Framework SDK.
Developers familiar with the Bot Framework SDK will notice differences between bots developed with it and the Bot Framwork Composer. Below are some of the advantages of developing bots in Composer:
Adaptive dialogs allow for Language Generation (LG), which can simplify interruption handling and give bots character
The visual representation and editing in Composer eliminates the need for boilerplate code and makes bot development more accessible
No longer need to navigate between experiences to maintain LU model as it is editable within the app
Time saved with fewer steps to set up your environment and start bots
A major difference between the current version of the Bot Framework SDK and Composer is that the apps created using Composer uses the Adaptive dialog format, a JSON specification shared by many tools provided by the Bot Framework. You can find more information about Adaptive dialog here.
You can manage Composer assests, such as Dialogs, LU training data, and message templates like normal developer assets - files that can be committed to source control and deployed alongside code updates.
Language Understanding (LU) is a core component of Composer, allowing developers and conversation designers to train language understanding directly in the context of editing a dialog.
As dialogs are edited in Composer developers can continuously add to their bot's natural language capabilities through a simple markdown-like format that makes it easy to define new intents and provide sample utterances.
Composer detects changes and updates the bot's cloud-based NLU model automatically so it is always up to date.
Creating grammatically correct, data-driven responses that also use a consistent tone and convey a clear brand voice has always been a challenge for bot developers. Composer's integrated Language Generation (LG) system allows developers, and the writers who work with them, to create replies with a great deal of flexibility.
Under the hood, Composer harnesses the power of many of the components from the Bot Framework SDK. When building bots in Composer, developers will have access to:
Adaptive dialogs and the Bot Framework SDK
Language Understanding service from LUIS
Built-in Language Generation and expression library
QnA Maker capabilities
Bot Framework Emulator
After creating bots with Composer the resulting bot project will contain reusable assets in the form of JSON and Markdown files that can be bundled and packaged with a bot's source code. These files can be used with a wide variety of compatible tools from the Bot Framework.

Machine Learning has come to .Net. ML.NET is a library to create custom ML models using C# or F#. Can also be extended to other libraries and frameworks like Infer.NET, TensorFlow, and ONNX for more ML scenarios.
Create the Project
Download and install the ML.NET Model Builder tool from the Visual Studio Marketplace. You can use the link above. Close all VS instances to complete the installation.
As soon as the installation has completed open Visual Studio and create a new .NET Core console app.
Right-click on the project in Solution Explorer and select Add > Machine Learning. This opens the ML.NET Model Builder in a new window in Visual Studio. Model Builder will help us through the process of building a machine learning model.
To generate your model, you need to select a machine learning scenario. Model Builder offers several templates. Now we are going to select the Sentiment Analysis scenario.
In Model Builder, you can add data from a local file or connect to a SQL Server database. In this case, you will add the dataset file you downloaded in the Prerequisites step.
Select File as the input data source in the drop-down, and in Select a file find and select the dataset file. In my case is the mini dataset I created from the Sentiment140 dataset.
Under Column to predict (Label), select “0”. Since the Dataset has no headers it takes the first row. You can add headers to avoid misunderstandings. The Label is what you are predicting, which in this case is the Sentiment found in the first column of the dataset. The rest of the columns are Features, which are attributes that help predict the Label.
If you are using the mini dataset 0 is for negative 1 is for positive. If you are using the original dataset 0 is negative 2 is neutral and 4 is positive, so make a note of this.
After adding your data, go to the Train step. Model Builder evaluates many models with varying settings to give you the best performing model.
The default Time to train (the amount of time you would like Model Builder to explore various models) is 10 seconds. Note that for larger datasets, you should set a longer training time. If you add very short duration you will get a pop up with the recommended times. Using random or very short durations can cause training to fail.
Select Start Training to start the training process.
You can keep track of the progress of model training in the Progress section.
Status – This shows you the status of the model training process; this will tell you how much time is left in the training process and will also tell you when the training process has completed.
Best accuracy – This shows you the accuracy of the best model that Model Builder has found so far. Higher accuracy means the model predicted more correctly on test data.
Best algorithm – This shows you which algorithm performed the best so far during Model Builder’s exploration.
Last algorithm – This shows you the last algorithm that was explored by Model Builder.
After model training finishes, go to the Evaluate step. The Evaluate step shows you various outputs, including how many models were explored and the ML task (in this case binary classification). Model Builder also displays the top 5 models explored and displays several evaluation metrics for each of those top 5 models, including AUC, AUPRC, and F1-score. You can find more informatio on what those are here.
After evaluating your model, move on to the Code step. In the Code step in Model Builder, select Add Projects.
Model Builder adds both the machine learning model and the projects for training and consuming the model to your solution. In the Solution Explorer, you should see the code files that were generated by Model Builder.
