Power control and RB allocation in cloud radio access networks by Essassi, Safa

“…In this paper, a novel approach power control will be proposed, to avoid such throughput loss and combined with a novel approach resource block allocation based on genetic algorithm in cloud radio access network. The simulations results show that the performance of the proposed system is significantly improved with respect to universal frequency reuse.…”

Towards secure private and trustworthy human-centric embedded machine learning: An emotion-aware facial recognition case study by Butt, Muhammad Atif

“…We find that input quantization partially degrades the efficacy of adversarial and backdoor attacks at the cost of a slight decrease in accuracy over clean inputs. By analyzing the explanations generated by SHAP, we identify that the decision of a FER model is largely influenced by features such as eyes, alar crease, lips, and jaws. …”
