Towards Communication-Efficient Decentralized Federated Graph Learning over Non-IID Data
Decentralized Federated Graph Learning (DFGL) overcomes potential bottlenecks of the parameter server in FGL by establishing a peer-to-peer (P2P) communication network among workers. However, while extensive cross-worker communication of graph node embeddings is crucial for DFGL training, it introduces substantial communication costs. Most existing works typically construct sparse network topologies or utilize graph neighbor sampling methods to alleviate the communication overhead in DFGL. Intu…

Communiquer en groupe pour l'activisime
Dans ce billet, nous allons discuter de bonnes pratiques pour la communication sécurisée lors de la préparation et de réalisation d'actions militantes. En particulier, nous verrons pourquoi Signal, Whatsapp ou Telegram ne sont pas recommandés avant et pendant les actions militantes. Des solutions alternatives plus sûres seront proposées.

The Right to Communications Confidentiality in Europe: Protecting Privacy, Freedom of Expression, and Trust
In the European Union, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides comprehensive rules for the processing of personal data. In addition, the EU lawmaker intends to adopt specific rules to protect confidentiality of communications, in a separate ePrivacy Regulation. Some have argued that there is no need for such additional rules for communications confidentiality. This Article discusses the protection of the right to confidentiality of communications in Europe. We look at the right's…

User-Intent-Driven Semantic Communication via Adaptive Deep Understanding
Semantic communication focuses on transmitting task-relevant semantic information, aiming for intent-oriented communication. While existing systems improve efficiency by extracting key semantics, they still fail to deeply understand and generalize users' real intentions. To overcome this, we propose a user-intention-driven semantic communication system that interprets diverse abstract intents. First, we integrate a multi-modal large model as semantic knowledge base to generate user-intention pr…

The quantum communication power of indefinite causal order
Quantum theory is in principle compatible with scenarios where physical processes take place in an indefinite causal order, a possibility that was shown to yield advantages in several information processing tasks. However, advantages in communication, the most basic form of information processing, have so far remained controversial and hard to prove. Here we develop a framework that can be used to rigorously assess the role of causal order in a scenario where communication links are built by as…
