Recent advances in learning Deep Neural Network (DNN) architectures have received a great deal of attention due to their ability to outperform state-of-the-art classifiers across a wide range of applications, with little or no feature engineering. In this paper, we broadly study the applicability of deep learning to website fingerprinting. We show that unsupervised DNNs can be used to extract l...

introduction and aims: h. pylori has been implicated in peptic diseases, some with detrimental consequences such as ulcer or cancer. since considerable genetic heterogeneity has been observed within h. pylori population worldwide, it appears an ideal achievement to recruit pcr-based methods and design genetic markers which recognize isolates from normal and symptomatic individuals. in this stud...

DNA fingerprinting has become an important tool for diversity assessment and varietal identification in plant breeding programs. Semi- random PCR primers targeting intron-exon splice junctions (ISJ) were used to evaluate the potential of these markers in identification and classification of rice genotypes. A total of 12 ISJ primers were used for screening fourteen Egyptian rice genotypes, inclu...

Title of Dissertation: A JOINT CODING AND EMBEDDING FRAMEWORK FOR MULTIMEDIA FINGERPRINTING Shan He, Doctor of Philosophy, 2007 Dissertation directed by: Professor Min Wu Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology advancement has made multimedia content widely available and easy to process. These benefits also bring ease to unauthorized users who can duplicate and manipulate m...

In fingerprinting, a signature, unique to each user, is embedded in each distributed copy of a multimedia content, in order to identify potential illegal redistributors. This paper investigates digital fingerprinting problems involving millions of users and a handful of colluders. In such problems the rate of the fingerprinting code is often well below fingerprinting capacity, and the use of co...

The recent advances in molecular biology have revolutionized all aspects of dentistry. DNA, the language of life yields information beyond our imagination, both in health or disease. DNA fingerprinting is a tool used to unravel all the mysteries associated with the oral cavity and its manifestations during diseased conditions. It is being increasingly used in analyzing various scenarios related...

An integrated molecular surveillance for tuberculosis (TB) improves the understanding of ongoing TB transmission by combining molecular typing and epidemiological data. However, the implementation of an integrated molecular surveillance for TB is complex and requires thoughtful consideration of feasibility, demand, public health benefits and legal issues. We aimed to pilot the integration of mo...

Keywords: Co-utility Multicast fingerprinting Anonymous fingerprinting Game theory a b s t r a c t In conventional multicast transmission, one sender sends the same content to a set of receivers. This precludes fingerprinting the copy obtained by each receiver (in view of redistribution control and other applications). A straightforward alternative is for the sender to separately fingerprint an...

Digital fingerprinting of multimedia data involves embedding information in the content signal and offers protection to the digital rights of the content by allowing illegitimate usage of the content to be identified by authorized parties. One potential threat to fingerprinting is collusion, whereby a group of adversaries combine their individual copies in an attempt to remove the underlying fi...

As the markets of digital contents over computer networks become more popular, illegal redistribution of contents by a buyer becomes the more serious problem. To deter illegal redistribution, various fingerprinting schemes have been proposed. The fingerprinting schemes enable merchants to embed information which identifies the original buyer to the purchased content. Identifying the original bu...
