: This thesis focuses on the practical aspects of general two-party Secure Function Evaluation (SFE). A new SFE protocol that allows free evaluation of XOR gates and is provably se...
In many cases, a key step in neuronal information processing is phase synchronization of neurons (as oscillators). Substantial evidence suggests that an universal mechanism is beh...
A novel technique is presented to construct sparse regression models based on the orthogonal least square method with boosting. This technique tunes the mean vector and diagonal c...
We consider the problem of reconstructing time sequences of spatially sparse signals (with unknown and time-varying sparsity patterns) from a limited number of linear "incohe...
In this paper, we present a new technique, called Stream Projected Ouliter deTector (SPOT), to deal with outlier detection problem in high-dimensional data streams. SPOT is unique ...
