Multiple description coding (MDC) is a type of error-resilient source coding that is advantageous for communications over channels with high loss and long delays. While neural network-based MDC promises higher compression efficiency and better semantic awareness, the aspect of semantic awareness is under-investigated. This paper is among the first efforts to study MDCs with competing performance goals known as the distortion-classification tradeoff. A new design concept called semantic polarization is proposed to contradict the traditional philosophy of balanced side encoder designs. We present a simple conceptual model to demonstrate the advantage of polarized MDC in having higher probabilities of satisfying at least one performance goal. We also propose a detailed implementation of polarized MDC based on SRGANs. Experiments on public datasets show that compared with state-of-the-art single description neural image codecs, the proposed MDC has multiple benefits in terms of enlarged rate range, superior semantic protection, and better perception quality, at the cost of slightly reduced but competitive distortion performance.

In an effort to enhance the attractiveness of apps, developers consistently and frequently release updates to introduce new features and address known issues. Although frequent updates are beneficial for improving user experience, they also increase the workload for reverse engineers since existing analysis results may become obsolete after the release of a new version. Matching code across app versions can help reverse engineers quickly migrate existing analysis results to new versions, verifying whether their prior findings still hold in the new version. This allows them to focus more on the modified portions of the code, thus increasing reverse engineering efficiency. Nevertheless, existing techniques cannot effectively match the code of apps protected by obfuscation techniques, which are pervasively adopted in prac-tice. To address the challenges introduced by code obfuscation, this study presents MatchScope, a novel automated approach designed to match code at the method level across versions of Android app binaries. MatchScope effectively leveraging different levels of fine-grained code features, including class structures and method opcodes, etc., for similarity comparison, thus achieving high accuracy. To further enhance the matching efficiency, we design an index-aware matching algorithm, significantly reducing the scope and number of pairwise comparisons required compared with existing work. The critical insight of our algorithm lies in that the obfuscation tools usually rely on an incrementing index to generate obfuscated names for classes in a deterministic way. Our evaluation on 20 open-source and 60 real-world apps demonstrates the effectiveness of MatchScope. The precision and recall of MatchScope on the ground truth achieve 97.49 % and 92.34 %, respectively, which are 19.50 % and 30.74 % higher than the state-of-the-art tool.
