|abstract = Cross-silo federated learning (FL) enables multiple institutions (clients) to collaboratively build a global model without sharing their private data. To prevent privacy leakage during aggregation, homomorphic encryption (HE) is widely used to encrypt model updates, yet incurs high computation and communication overheads. To reduce these overheads, packed HE (PHE) has been proposed to encrypt multiple plaintexts into a single ciphertext. However, the original design of PHE does not consider the heterogeneity among different clients, an intrinsic problem in cross-silo FL, often resulting in undermined training efficiency with slow convergence and stragglers. In this work, we propose FedPHE, an efficiently packed homomorphically encrypted FL framework with secure weighted aggregation and client selection to tackle the heterogeneity problem. Specifically, using CKKS with sparsification, FedPHE can achieve efficient encrypted weighted aggregation by accounting for contributions of local updates to the global model. To mitigate the straggler effect, we devise a sketching-based client selection scheme to cherry-pick representative clients with heterogeneous models and computing capabilities. We show, through rigorous security analysis and extensive experiments, that FedPHE can efficiently safeguard clients’ privacy, achieve a training speedup of 1.85 − 4.44×, cut the communication overhead by 1.24 − 22.62× , and reduce the straggler effect by up to 1.71 − 2.39×.

|abstract = Entanglement routing (ER) in quantum networks must guarantee entanglement fidelity, a property that is crucial for applications such as quantum key distribution, quantum computation, and quantum sensing. Conventional ER approaches assume that network links can only generate entanglements with a fixed fidelity, and then they rely on purification to improve endto-end fidelities. However, recent advances in entanglement generation technologies show that quantum links can be configured by choosing among different fidelity/entanglement-rate combinations (defined in this paper as link configurations), hence enabling a more flexible assignment of quantum-network resources for meeting specific application requirements. To exploit this opportunity, we introduce the problem of link configuration for fidelityconstrained routing and purification (LC-FCRP) in Quantum Networks. We first formulate a simplified FCRP version as a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model, where the link fidelity can be adjusted within a finite set. Then, to explore the full space of possible link configurations, we propose a link configuration algorithm based on a novel shortest-pathbased fidelity determination (SPFD) algorithm w/o Bayesian Optimization, which can be applied on top of any existing ER algorithm. Numerical results demonstrate that link configuration improves the acceptance ratio of existing ER algorithms by 87%.

|abstract = Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable reasoning capabilities across diverse domains. Recent studies have shown that increasing test-time computation enhances LLMs' reasoning capabilities. This typically involves extensive sampling at inference time guided by an external LLM verifier, resulting in a two-player system. Despite external guidance, the effectiveness of this system demonstrates the potential of a single LLM to tackle complex tasks. Thus, we pose a new research problem: Can we internalize the searching capabilities to fundamentally enhance the reasoning abilities of a single LLM? This work explores an orthogonal direction focusing on post-training LLMs for autoregressive searching (i.e., an extended reasoning process with self-reflection and self-exploration of new strategies). To achieve this, we propose the Chain-of-Action-Thought (COAT) reasoning and a two-stage training paradigm: 1) a small-scale format tuning stage to internalize the COAT reasoning format and 2) a large-scale self-improvement stage leveraging reinforcement learning. Our approach results in Satori, a 7B LLM trained on open-source models and data. Extensive empirical evaluations demonstrate that Satori achieves state-of-the-art performance on mathematical reasoning benchmarks while exhibits strong generalization to out-of-domain tasks. Code, data, and models will be fully open-sourced.

|abstract = Light bulbs have been recently explored to design Light Fidelity (LiFi) communication to battery-free tags, thus complementing Radiofrequency (RF) backscatter in the uplink. In this paper, we show that LiFi and RF backscatter are complementary and have unexplored interactions. We introduce PassiveLiFi, a battery-free system that uses LiFi to transmit RF backscatter at a meagre power budget. We address several challenges on the system design in the LiFi transmitter, the tag and the RF receiver. We design the first LiFi transmitter that implements a chirp spread spectrum (CSS) using the visible light spectrum. We use a small bank of solar cells for both communication and harvesting, and reconfigure them based on the amount of harvested energy and desired data rate. We further alleviate the low responsiveness of solar cells with a new low-power receiver design in the tag. We design and implement a novel technique for embedding multiple symbols in the RF backscatter based on delayed chirps. Experimental results with an RF carrier of 17dBm show that we can generate RF backscatter with a range of 92.1 meters/ μW consumed in the tag, which is almost double with respect to prior work.

|abstract = Video analytics is widespread in various applications serving our society. Recent advances of content enhancement in video analytics offer significant benefits for the bandwidth saving and accuracy improvement. However, existing content-enhanced video analytics systems are excessively computationally expensive and provide extremely low throughput. In this paper, we present region-based content enhancement, that enhances only the important regions in videos, to improve analytical accuracy. Our system, RegenHance, enables high-accuracy and high-throughput video analytics at the edge by 1) a macroblock-based region importance predictor that identifies the important regions fast and precisely, 2) a region-aware enhancer that stitches sparsely distributed regions into dense tensors and enhances them efficiently, and 3) a profile-based execution planer that allocates appropriate resources for enhancement and analytics components. We prototype RegenHance on five heterogeneous edge devices. Experiments on two analytical tasks reveal that region-based enhancement improves the overall accuracy of 10-19% and achieves 2-3x throughput compared to the state-of-the-art frame-based enhancement methods.
