This paper presents several repair schemes for lowrate Reed Solomon (RS) codes over prime fields that can repair any node by downloading a constant number of bits from each surviving node. The resulting total bandwidth is higher than the bandwidth incurred during the trivial repair; however, this is still interesting in the context of leakage-resilient secret sharing. In that language, our results give attacks that show that k-out-of-n Shamir’s Secret Sharing over prime fields for small k is not leakage resilient, even if the parties only leak a constant number of bits. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first such *** another application, we provide decoding schemes for RS codes over prime fields, where the entire RS codeword is recovered by transmitting a constant number of bits from each *** results follow from a novel connection between exponential sums and repair of RS codes. In particular, we show that nontrivial bounds on certain exponential sums imply the existence of efficient nonlinear repair schemes for RS codes over prime fields.

Real-time computation of optimal control is a challenging problem and, to solve this difficulty, many frameworks proposed to use learning techniques to learn (possibly sub-optimal) controllers and enable their usage in an online fashion. Among these techniques, the optimal motion framework is a simple, yet powerful technique, that obtained success in many complex real-world applications. The main idea of this approach is to take advantage of dynamic motion primitives, a widely used tool in robotics to learn trajectories from demonstrations. While usually these demonstrations come from humans, the optimal motion framework is based on demonstrations coming from optimal solutions, such as the ones obtained by numeric solvers. As usual in many learning techniques, a drawback of this approach is that it is hard to estimate the suboptimality of learned solutions, since finding easily computable and non-trivial upper bounds to the error between an optimal solution and a learned solution is, in general, unfeasible. However, we show in this paper that it is possible to estimate this error for a broad class of problems. Furthermore, we apply this estimation technique to achieve a novel and more efficient sampling scheme to be used within the optimal motion framework, enabling the usage of this framework in some scenarios where the computational resources are limited.

Analyzing wine using taste data is a promising field due to the explosive expansion of online commerce. However, because of the wide variety of wine types with different flavors and aromas, it is difficult for consumers to choose the wine that suits their taste, and also difficult for sellers to recommend appropriate wines to consumers. Therefore, it is necessary to numerically analyze and classify wine, and a deep learning algorithm which mimics the human brain is appropriate for analyzing the wine data [1]. In this paper, we introduce several studies of wine classification using deep learning architectures and propose preprocessing methods for applying the taste data of wine to deep learning networks.

Seed-inspired minimalist microflyers are showing potential as dispersal platforms for sensor networks and seeds. Their function relies on the sheer number of low-cost flyers, inevitably raising concerns about the post-operation environmental impact. We propose a biodegradable paper glider platform fabricated through origami inkjet printing. This method can fold origami along printing patterns on different paper varieties. We created a printing pattern that allows 2D paper sheets to self-fold into a 3D flying wing glider with designable wing geometry and center of gravity (CG). The design allows stable and repeatable gliding behavior, proven in our gliding tests. It successfully achieves the dispersal of multiple gliders from a hovering drone, covering an average horizontal distance larger than the release height. We also tested the biodegradation of different paper types compatible with the printing method, showing near-complete degradation after 15 weeks in moist soil. Our study presents a novel, potentially scalable approach for fabricating environmentally friendly microflyers, offering new avenues for remote environmental sensing and automated forest restoration programs.
