Chaotic information metasurface for direct physical-layer secure communication by Jia Wen Xu, Menglin Wei, Lei Zhang, Vincenzo Galdi, Lianlin Li, Tie Jun Cui

“…However, existing chaos-based approaches usually require legitimate receivers to have access to the chaotic system’s parameters as decryption keys, often involving complex operations at the digital level. In this study, we present a novel physical-layer secure communication scheme that relies on an information metasurface whose local reflection properties are dynamically modulated by chaotic patterns. …”

Wandering around: a bioinspired approach to visual attention through object motion sensitivity by Giulia D’Angelo, Victoria Clerico, Chiara Bartolozzi, Matej Hoffmann, P Michael Furlong, Alexander Hadjiivanov

“…Event-based cameras, inspired by the mammalian retina, further enhance this capability by capturing asynchronous scene changes, enabling efficient, low-latency processing. To distinguish moving objects while the event-based camera is also in motion, the agent requires an object motion segmentation mechanism to accurately detect targets and position them at the centre of the visual field (fovea). …”

Rethinking Technological Investment and Cost-Benefit: A Software Requirements Dependency Extraction Case Study by Gouri Ginde, Guenther Ruhe, Chad Saunders

“…Drawing upon two publicly available data sets, we compare decision-making based on 1) exclusively on accuracy and 2) on ROI analysis to provide decision support for the selection and usage of ML classification methods. As such, our results showed that, 1) chasing model accuracy improvisation through increased annotated data does not generate expected returns in traditional ML methods. 2) For complex ML algorithms, the need for larger annotated dataset investment cost is justified by the higher returns, however, the trade-offs between accuracy and ROI become evident.…”
