Data are invaluable in machine learning (ML), yet they raise significant privacy concerns. In the real world, data are often distributed across isolated silos, challenging conventional ML methods that centralize data. Federated learning (FL) offers a privacy-preserving solution that enables learning without direct data transfer. Meanwhile, the “right to be forgotten” sparks privacy-preserving methods from another viewpoint as machine unlearning, enabling data owners to erase specific data contributions from ML models. However, the invisibility of data in FL scenarios complicates effective local data removal, necessitating tailored unlearning algorithms for FL. Existing federated unlearning methods fall into approximate unlearning, leaving residual memorization of target data, consequently diminishing user trust. To bridge this gap, we propose FedCIO, a novel framework for exact federated unlearning, designed to efficiently manage precise data removal requests in FL scenarios. Specifically, the framework involves client clustering, isolation among clusters, and one-shot aggregation of cluster models. This framework facilitates efficient unlearning by retraining only a relevant model subset rather than from scratch. To enhance the capability to handle Non-Independent and Identically Distributed (Non-IID) data, we further introduce an advanced spectral clustering implementation based on model similarity for better cluster partitioning. Comprehensive evaluation across common FL datasets with varied distributions demonstrates the superior performance of our proposed framework.

In partial label learning (PLL), each sample is associated with a group of candidate labels, among which only one label is correct. The key of PLL is to disambiguate the candidate label set to find the ground-truth label. To this end, we first construct a constrained regression model to capture the confidence of the candidate labels, and multiply the label confidence matrix by its transpose to build a second-order similarity matrix, whose elements indicate the pairwise similarity relationships of samples globally. Then we develop a semantic dissimilarity matrix by considering the complement of the intersection of the candidate label set, and further propagate the initial dissimilarity relationships to the whole data set by leveraging the local geometric structure of samples. The similarity and dissimilarity matrices form an adversarial relationship, which is further utilized to shrink the solution space of the label confidence matrix and promote the dissimilarity matrix. We finally extend the proposed model to a kernel version to exploit the non-linear structure of samples and solve the proposed model by the inexact augmented Lagrange multiplier method. By exploiting the adversarial prior, the proposed method can significantly outperform state-of-the-art PLL algorithms when evaluated on 10 artificial and 7 real-world partial label data sets. We also prove the effectiveness of our method with some theoretical guarantees. The code is publicly available at https://***/Yangfc-ML/DPCLS.

Proof of Work (PoW) is the most widely used consensus protocol. However, due to the hash rate competition mechanism, longest chain principle, and transaction fee mechanism of the PoW consensus protocol, malicious nodes can launch attacks to obtain more relative revenue than honest mining, which will discourage honest miners from packing transactions into blocks and verifying blocks. As a result, the speed of the nodes reaching consensus in the network is slowed down, or even consensus cannot be reached, which ultimately affects the security of the PoW consensus *** this paper, the Markov Decision Process (MDP) is used to simulate the whale attack launched by malicious nodes, and evaluate the capability of PoW consensus protocol against the whale attack. The experimental results show that the PoW consensus protocol is secure in the Bitcoin network when the transaction fee is set in the range of 0.002-0.3 block rewards and the transaction volume should not exceed 21.09 block rewards. In addition, the PoW consensus protocol will be more secure with the adjustment of parameters such as the number of block confirmations, block generation interval and block size.

With the development of virtual reality (VR) technology, panoramic video, a new method that is the fusion of VR technology and panoramic video technology, have gradually emerged and developed rapidly. Nowadays, VR panoramic video is becoming the most important application of virtual reality technology. Although the amount of video information is large, the user acceptance rate is relatively low and the perception is weak, which has a certain negative impact on the popularity of VR. Currently, there are few types of research on the VR information perception field, and the existing researches lack a great division of user characteristics and panoramic video types. Therefore, this paper mainly discusses the following two questions: Is the user’s information perception level in the VR environment significantly better than that in the traditional media environment? Do event types and user characteristics in VR videos affect users’ perception of information? In response to the questions, a total of 20 participants were recruited for the research. Through the analysis of the statistical calculation, this paper draws the conclusion: Media type has a significant impact on user information perception and the perception in the VR environment is significantly better than that of traditional media. Besides, this paper also finds a phenomenon: the user characteristics and the proportion of event types in the video have an impact on the user information perception effect. It shows that the higher the level of education, the better the information perception effect (ages between 20-30); the higher the proportion of mobile events and emergencies in the video, the better the user information perception effect.
