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.

GmSLM : Generative Marmoset Spoken Language Modeling
Marmoset monkeys exhibit complex vocal communication, challenging the view that nonhuman primates vocal communication is entirely innate, and show similar features of human speech, such as vocal labeling of others and turn-taking. Studying their vocal communication offers a unique opportunity to link it with brain activity-especially given the difficulty of accessing the human brain in speech and language research. Since Marmosets communicate primarily through vocalizations, applying standard L…

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…

Design and analysis of a set of discrete variable protocols for secure quantum communication
The advent of quantum key distribution (QKD) has revolutionized secure communication by providing unconditional security, unlike classical cryptographic methods. However, its effectiveness relies on robust identity authentication, as vulnerabilities in the authentication process can cause a compromise with the security of the entire communication system. Over the past three decades, numerous quantum identity authentication (QIA) protocols have been proposed. This thesis first presents a chronol…

Multi Robot Coordination in Highly Dynamic Environments: Tackling Asymmetric Obstacles and Limited Communication
Coordinating a fully distributed multi-agent system (MAS) can be challenging when the communication channel has very limited capabilities in terms of sending rate and packet payload. When the MAS has to deal with active obstacles in a highly partially observable environment, the communication channel acquires considerable relevance. In this paper, we present an approach to deal with task assignments in extremely active scenarios, where tasks need to be frequently reallocated among the agents pa…

Privacy Preserving Semantic Communications Using Vision Language Models: A Segmentation and Generation Approach
Semantic communication has emerged as a promising paradigm for next-generation wireless systems, improving the communication efficiency by transmitting high-level semantic features. However, reliance on unimodal representations can degrade reconstruction under poor channel conditions, and privacy concerns of the semantic information attack also gain increasing attention. In this work, a privacy-preserving semantic communication framework is proposed to protect sensitive content of the image dat…

MoRoCo: Multi-operator-robot Coordination, Interaction and Exploration under Restricted Communication
Fleets of autonomous robots are increasingly deployed alongside multiple human operators to explore unknown environments, identify salient features, and perform complex tasks in scenarios such as subterranean exploration, reconnaissance, and search-and-rescue missions. In these contexts, communication is often severely limited to short-range exchanges via ad-hoc networks, posing challenges to coordination. While recent studies have addressed multi-robot exploration under communication constrain…
