Here's a Free Lunch: Sanitizing Backdoored Models with Model Merge
The democratization of pre-trained language models through open-source initiatives has rapidly advanced innovation and expanded access to cutting-edge technologies. However, this openness also brings significant security risks, including backdoor attacks, where hidden malicious behaviors are triggered by specific inputs, compromising natural language processing (NLP) system integrity and reliability. This paper suggests that merging a backdoored model with other homogeneous models can remediate…

A Hilbert bundle approach to the sharp strong openness theorem and the Ohsawa-Takegoshi extension theorem
The following paper is around parts of the first named author's thesis. We discuss (what we call) a Hilbert bundle approach to complex Brunn-Minkowski theory and obtain a general monotonicity theorem. As two applications, we prove a generalization of Guan's sharp strong openness theorem and a sharp Ohsawa-Takegoshi extension theorem. A second proof of Guan-Zhou's strong openness theorem using a Donnelly-Fefferman estimate is also given.

Towards Robust Recommendation: A Review and an Adversarial Robustness Evaluation Library
Recently, recommender system has achieved significant success. However, due to the openness of recommender systems, they remain vulnerable to malicious attacks. Additionally, natural noise in training data and issues such as data sparsity can also degrade the performance of recommender systems. Therefore, enhancing the robustness of recommender systems has become an increasingly important research topic. In this survey, we provide a comprehensive overview of the robustness of recommender system…

Unraveling the Italian and English Telegram Conspiracy Spheres through Message Forwarding
Telegram has grown into a significant platform for news and information sharing, favored for its anonymity and minimal moderation. This openness, however, makes it vulnerable to misinformation and conspiracy theories. In this study, we explore the dynamics of conspiratorial narrative dissemination within Telegram, focusing on Italian and English landscapes. In particular, we leverage the mechanism of message forwarding within Telegram and collect two extensive datasets through snowball strategy…

Colosseum: The Open RAN Digital Twin
Recent years have witnessed the Open Radio Access Network (RAN) paradigm transforming the fundamental ways cellular systems are deployed, managed, and optimized. This shift is led by concepts such as openness, softwarization, programmability, interoperability, and intelligence of the network, all of which had never been applied to the cellular ecosystem before. The realization of the Open RAN vision into practical architectures, intelligent data-driven control loops, and efficient software impl…

On the Consideration of AI Openness: Can Good Intent Be Abused?
Openness is critical for the advancement of science. In particular, recent rapid progress in AI has been made possible only by various open-source models, datasets, and libraries. However, this openness also means that technologies can be freely used for socially harmful purposes. Can open-source models or datasets be used for malicious purposes? If so, how easy is it to adapt technology for such goals? Here, we conduct a case study in the legal domain, a realm where individual decisions can ha…

On the openness of the idempotent barycenter map related to a t-norm
We demonstrate that the idempotent barycenter map, associated with a t-norm $\ast$, is open if and only if the map of max-$\ast$ convex combination is open. As a corollary, we deduce that the idempotent barycenter map is open for spaces of idempotent measures associated with any t-norm $\ast$. Nevertheless, we illustrate that the characteristics of the idempotent barycenter map, in general, depend on the specific t-norm being employed.

This is the greatest thing about activitypub and fedi and the permissionless protocol openness.
Free experimentation, lots of really good clients. No restrictions on paying to use the APIs or being banned because you don't show the adverts. No permission needed from a CEO or a Tech Support to just make the best client and nobody cares if everyone stops using Mastodon front-end.
Doesn't matter how many millions you spend on software development if the aim is serving the corporation not the user. You still get manipulative shitware.

The next generation of cellular networks will be characterized by openness, intelligence, virtualization, and distributed computing. The Open Radio Access Network (Open RAN) framework represents a significant leap toward realizing these ideals, with prototype deployments taking place in both academic and industrial domains. While it holds the potential to disrupt the established vendor lock-ins, Open RAN's disaggregated nature raises critical security concerns. Safeguarding data and securing in…

Covert Communication for Untrusted UAV-Assisted Wireless Systems
Wireless systems are of paramount importance for providing ubiquitous data transmission for smart cities. However, due to the broadcasting and openness of wireless channels, such systems face potential security challenges. UAV-assisted covert communication is a supporting technology for improving covert performances and has become a hot issue in the research of wireless communication security. This paper investigates the performance of joint covert and security communication in a tow-hop UAV-as…

Fostering the integration of European Open Data into Data Spaces through High-Quality Metadata
The term Data Space, understood as the secure exchange of data in distributed systems, ensuring openness, transparency, decentralization, sovereignty, and interoperability of information, has gained importance during the last years. However, Data Spaces are in an initial phase of definition, and new research is necessary to address their requirements. The Open Data ecosystem can be understood as one of the precursors of Data Spaces as it provides mechanisms to ensure the interoperability of inf…

On the stability and shadowing of tree-shifts of finite type
We investigate relations between the pseudo-orbit-tracing property, topological stability and openness for tree-shifts. We prove that a tree-shift is of finite type if and only if it has the pseudo-orbit-tracing property which implies that the tree-shift is topologically stable and all shift maps are open. We also present an example of a tree-shift for which all shift maps are open but which is not of finite type. It also turns out, that if a topologically stable tree-shift does not have isolat…

Optimal domains for elliptic eigenvalue problems with rough coefficients
We prove the existence of an open set minimizing the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of an elliptic operator with bounded, measurable coefficients, over all open sets of a given measure. Our proof is based on a free boundary approach: we characterize the eigenfunction on the optimal set as the minimizer of a penalized functional, and derive openness of the optimal set as a consequence of a Hölder estimate for the eigenfunction. We also prove that the optimal eigenfunction grows at most linearly fro…

Optical next generation reservoir computing
Artificial neural networks with dynamics exhibit remarkable capability in processing information. Reservoir computing (RC) is a canonical example that features rich computing expressivity and compatibility with physical implementations for enhanced efficiency. Recently, a new RC paradigm known as next generation reservoir computing (NGRC) further improves expressivity but compromises the physical openness, posing challenges for neuromorphic realizations. Here we demonstrate optical NGRC with la…

A property of holomorphic functions related to plurisubharmonic functions
Let $φ$ be a negative plurisubharmonic function in a pseudoconvex domain $Ω$ in $\mathbb{C}^{n}$ and $f$ be a bounded holomorphic function belonging to $L^{2}(Ω, φ)$. For all negative plurisubharmonic functions $ψ$ satisfying that $ψ$ is close to $φ$ in the $L^1(Ω)$ norm. Using the recent results about $L^2-$estimate for $\overline{\partial}-$equation and strong openness conjecture, we prove that there exists a holomorphic function $g$ belonging to $L^{2}( Ω, ψ)$ such that $g$ is clos…
