SkyCore: Moving Core to the Edge for Untethered and Reliable UAV-Based LTE Networks
We argue for and propose an alternate, radical edge evolved packet core design, called SkyCore, that pushes the EPC functionality to the extreme edge of the core network.
Constant Overhead Quantum Fault Tolerance with Quantum Expander Codes
In this paper, we study the asymptotic scaling of the space overhead needed for fault-tolerant quantum computation.
Technical Perspective: Deciphering Errors to Reduce the Cost of Quantum Computation
In "Constant Overhead Quantum Fault Tolerance with Quantum Expander Codes," by Omar Fawzi, et al., the authors produce an algorithm that can rapidly deduce the error in a quantum expander code, even when the syndrome is partially incorrect.
SATURN: An Introduction to the Internet of Materials
We propose an Internet of Materials, where the very materials of objects and surfaces are augmented or manufactured to have computational capabilities.
Technical Perspective: The Future of Large-Scale Embedded Sensing
The system described in "SATURN: An Introduction to the Internet of Materials" works passively, energized essentially by static electricity generated as layers move relative to each other during vibration.
The Dark Triad and Insider Threats in Cyber Security
Tracing the relationship between pathological personality traits and insider cyber sabotage.
Creating efficiency in AI research will decrease its carbon footprint and increase its inclusivity as deep learning study should not require the deepest pockets.
Measuring Internet Speed: Current Challenges and Future Recommendations
Speed testing methods have flourished over the last decade, but none without at least some limitations.
Technical Perspective: XNOR-Networks – Powerful but Tricky
How to produce a convolutional neural net that is small enough to run on a mobile device, and accurate enough to be worth using? The strategies in "Enabling AI at the Edge with XNOR-Networks" are the best known to date.
Enabling AI at the Edge with XNOR-Networks
We present a novel approach to running state-of-the-art AI algorithms in edge devices, and propose two efficient approximations to standard convolutional neural networks.
