In-depth reading notes on recent security research — CAPTCHA, browser & device fingerprinting, bot detection, behavioural biometrics, and ad-fraud. We dig into the methodology, threat model, and what each result actually means for production defenses.
research note
This paper tackles a real modeling bottleneck in superconducting cQED: once Josephson nonlinearities and structured dissipation both matter, the usual Born-Markov master-equation workflow either be…
research note
This paper addresses the challenging problem of sampling from complex, unnormalized multimodal distributions when density evaluations are costly
research note
This paper tackles a very practical bottleneck in digital quantum simulation: how to run large, long-time Fermi-Hubbard dynamics on real hardware without the circuit cost and noise overwhelming the…
research note
Flow Sampling is a diffusion-style sampler for unnormalized target densities when you can evaluate the energy or reward gradient but you do not have target samples
research note
This paper addresses the challenge of automatically generating proof-of-vulnerability (PoV) tests to demonstrate real exploitability of vulnerabilities in third-party libraries (Libs) as they affec…
research note
This paper addresses the critical challenge of securing resource-constrained IoT devices during peer-to-peer (P2P) data transmission
research note
This paper tackles a very specific but important systems problem: how to make MPI-4 Sessions real inside a mature MPI stack, rather than merely emulating them behind an internal MPI_COMM_WORLD
research note
This work addresses the challenge of detecting school infrastructure from aerial imagery in contexts with scarce manual annotations, a critical problem for global education and connectivity initiat…
research note
MOSAIC-Bench addresses a subtle but critical security failure mode in AI coding assistants: although agents often refuse or harden overtly malicious single prompts, when attack goals are decomposed…
research note
This paper addresses the problem of stem retrieval in musical audio, where given a partial mix, the goal is to identify the missing complementary stems that coherently fit it both harmonically and …
research note
This paper addresses a practical gap in camera/lens simulation: existing fast approximations either model only geometry (pinhole, thin lens, ABCD, polynomial optics) or only the smooth refraction c…
research note
PySME v1.0 is an update to the SME spectral-synthesis framework aimed at making high-resolution stellar abundance analysis feasible at survey scale without giving up the precision that makes SME us…
