Personalized w-Event Privacy for Infinite Stream Estimation

In applications such as event monitoring, log analysis, and video querying, $w$-event privacy protects individual data within a sliding time window while supporting accurate stream statistics. Existing studies on infinite data streams mainly assume homogeneous privacy requirements for all users, which cannot capture user-specific privacy preferences. This paper studies personalized $w$-event privacy for private data stream estimation. We first design the Personalized Window Size Mechanism (PWSM), which supports personalized privacy requirements at each time slot. Based on PWSM, we propose Personalized Budget Distribution (PBD) and Personalized Budget Absorption (PBA) to estimate streaming statistics under $\boldsymbol{w}$-Event $\boldsymbol{\mathcal{E}}$ Personalized Differential Privacy (($\boldsymbol{w}$, $\boldsymbol{\mathcal{E}}$)-EPDP). PBD guarantees that the budget reserved for the next time step is no smaller than the budget consumed in the previous release, while PBA improves the current budget by absorbing unused budgets from the previous $k$ time slots and borrowing from the next $k$ time slots. We further develop Dynamic Personalized Budget Distribution (DPBD) and Dynamic Personalized Budget Absorption (DPBA), which allow users to dynamically adjust privacy requirements while satisfying $(τ, \boldsymbol{w}_B, \boldsymbol{w}_F)$-Event $(\boldsymbol{\mathcal{E}}_B, \boldsymbol{\mathcal{E}}_F)$-Personalized Differential Privacy. We prove that all proposed methods achieve the corresponding personalized differential privacy guarantees and derive their error upper bounds. Experiments show that our methods reduce estimation error by at least $53.6\%$ compared with state-of-the-art algorithms.

VeRPO: Verifiable Dense Reward Policy Optimization for Code Generation

Effective reward design is a central challenge in Reinforcement Learning (RL) for code generation. Mainstream pass/fail outcome rewards enforce functional correctness via executing unit tests, but the resulting sparsity limits potential performance gains. While recent work has explored external Reward Models (RM) to generate richer, continuous rewards, the learned RMs suffer from reward misalignment and prohibitive computational cost. In this paper, we introduce \textbf{VeRPO} (\textbf{V}erifiable D\textbf{e}nse \textbf{R}eward \textbf{P}olicy \textbf{O}ptimization), a novel RL framework for code generation that synthesizes \textit{robust and dense rewards fully grounded in verifiable execution feedback}. The core idea of VeRPO is constructing dense rewards from weighted partial success: by dynamically estimating the difficulty weight of each unit test based on the execution statistics during training, a dense reward is derived from the sum of weights of the passed unit tests. To solidify the consistency between partial success and end-to-end functional correctness, VeRPO further integrates the dense signal with global execution outcomes, establishing a robust and dense reward paradigm relying solely on verifiable execution feedback. Extensive experiments across diverse benchmarks and settings demonstrate that VeRPO consistently outperforms outcome-driven and RM-based baselines, achieving up to +8.83\% gain in pass@1 with negligible time cost (< 0.02\%) and zero GPU memory overhead.

On the Effectiveness of Pinyin-Character Dual-Decoding for End-to-End Mandarin Chinese ASR

End-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) has achieved promising results. However, most existing end-to-end ASR methods neglect the use of specific language characteristics. For Mandarin Chinese ASR tasks, there exist mutual promotion relationship between Pinyin and Character where Chinese characters can be romanized by Pinyin. Based on the above intuition, we first investigate types of end-to-end encoder-decoder based models in the single-input dual-output (SIDO) multi-task framework, after which a novel asynchronous decoding with fuzzy Pinyin sampling method is proposed according to the one-to-one correspondence characteristics between Pinyin and Character. Furthermore, we proposed a two-stage training strategy to make training more stable and converge faster. The results on the test sets of AISHELL-1 dataset show that the proposed enhanced dual-decoder model without a language model is improved by a big margin compared to strong baseline models.

Communicating Is Crowdsourcing: Wi-Fi Indoor Localization with CSI-based Speed Estimation

Numerous indoor localization techniques have been proposed recently to meet the intensive demand for location based service, and Wi-Fi fingerprint-based approaches are the most popular and inexpensive solutions. Among them, one of the main trends is to incorporate the built-in sensors of smartphone and to exploit crowdsourcing potentials. However the noisy built-in sensors and multi-tasking limitation of underline OS often hinder the effectiveness of these schemes. In this work, we propose a passive crowdsourcing CSI-based indoor localization scheme, C2 IL. Our scheme C2 IL only requires the locating-device (e.g., a phone) to have a 802.11n wireless connection, and it does not rely on inertial sensors only existing in some smartphones. C2 IL is built upon our innovative method to accurately estimate the moving distance purely based on 802.11n Channel State Information (CSI). Our extensive evaluations show that the moving distance estimation error of our scheme is within 3% of the actual moving distance regardless of varying speeds and environment. Relying on the accurate moving distance estimation as constraints, we are able to construct a more accurate mapping between RSS fingerprints and location. To address the challenges of collecting fingerprints, a crowdsourcing- based scheme is designed to gradually establish the mapping and populate the fingerprints. In C2 IL, we design a trajectory clustering-based localization algorithm to provide precise real-time indoor localization and tracking. We developed and deployed a practical working system of C2 IL in a large office environment. Extensive evaluation results indicate that our scheme C2 IL provides accurate localization with error 2m at 80% at very complex indoor environment with minimal overhead.

Rejecting the Attack: Source Authentication for Wi-Fi Management Frames using CSI Information

Comparing to well protected data frames, Wi-Fi management frames (MFs) are extremely vulnerable to various attacks. Since MFs are transmitted without encryption, attackers can forge them easily. Such attacks can be detected in cooperative environment such as Wireless Intrusion Detection System (WIDS). However, in non-cooperative environment it is difficult for a single station to identify these spoofing attacks using Received Signal Strength (RSS)-based detection, due to the strong correlation of RSS to both the transmission power (Txpower) and the location of the sender. By exploiting some unique characteristics (i.e., rapid spatial decorrelation, independence of Txpower, and much richer dimensions) of the Channel State Information (CSI), a standard feature in 802.11n Specification, we design a prototype, called CSITE, to authenticate the Wi-Fi management frames by a single station without external support. Our design CSITE, built upon off-the-shelf hardware, achieves precise spoofing detection without collaboration and in-advance finger-print. Several novel techniques are designed to address the challenges caused by user mobility and channel dynamics. To verify the performances of our solution, we implement a prototype of our design and conduct extensive evaluations in various scenarios. Our test results show that our design significantly outperforms the RSS-based method in terms of accuracy, robustness, and efficiency: we observe about 8 times improvement by CSITE over RSS-based method on the falsely accepted attacking frames.

Twins:Device-free Object Tracking using Passive Tags

Without requiring objects to carry any transceiver, device-free based object tracking provides a promising solution for many localization and tracking systems to monitor non-cooperative objects such as intruders. However, existing device-free solutions mainly use sensors and active RFID tags, which are much more expensive compared to passive tags. In this paper, we propose a novel motion detection and tracking method using passive RFID tags, named Twins. The method leverages a newly observed phenomenon called critical state caused by interference among passive tags. We contribute to both theory and practice of such phenomenon by presenting a new interference model that perfectly explains this phenomenon and using extensive experiments to validate it. We design a practical Twins based intrusion detection scheme and implement a real prototype with commercial off-the-shelf reader and tags. The results show that Twins is effective in detecting the moving object, with low location error of 0.75m in average.

Efficient and Secure Key Extraction using CSI without Chasing down Errors

Generating keys and keeping them secret is critical in secure communications. Due to the "open-air" nature, key distribution is more susceptible to attacks in wireless communications. An ingenious solution is to generate common secret keys by two communicating parties separately without the need of key exchange or distribution, and regenerate them on needs. Recently, it is promising to extract keys by measuring the random variation in wireless channels, e.g., RSS. In this paper, we propose an efficient Secret Key Extraction protocol without Chasing down Errors, SKECE. It establishes common cryptographic keys for two communicating parties in wireless networks via the realtime measurement of Channel State Information (CSI). It outperforms RSS-based approaches for key generation in terms of multiple subcarriers measurement, perfect symmetry in channel, rapid decorrelation with distance, and high sensitivity towards environments. In the SKECE design, we also propose effective mechanisms such as the adaptive key stream generation, leakage resilient consistence validation, and weighted key recombination, to fully exploit the excellent properties of CSI. We implement SKECE on off-the-shelf 802.11n devices and evaluate its performance via extensive experiments. The results demonstrate that SKECE achieves a more than 3x throughput gain in the key generation from one subcarrier in static scenarios, and due to its high efficiency, a 50% reduction on the communication overhead compared to the state-of-the-art RSS based approaches.
