Leakage-resilient secret sharing with constant share size
No full textIn this work, we consider the leakage-resilience of algebraic-geometric (AG for short) codes based ramp secret sharing schemes extending the analysis on the leakage-resilience of linear threshold secret sharing schemes over prime fields that is done by Benhamouda et al. in the effort to construct linear leakage-resilient secret sharing schemes with constant share size. Since there does not exist any explicit efficient construction of AG codes over prime fields with constant field size, we consider constructions over prime fields with the help of concatenation method and constructions of codes over field extensions. Extending the Fourier analysis done by Benhamouda et al., one can show that concatenated algebraic geometric codes over prime fields do produce some nice leakage-resilient secret sharing schemes. One natural and curious question is whether AG codes over extension fields produce better leakage-resilient secret sharing schemes than the construction based on concatenated AG codes. Such construction provides several advantage compared to the construction over prime fields using concatenation method. It is clear that AG codes over extension fields give secret sharing schemes with a smaller reconstruction threshold for a fixed privacy parameter t. In this work, it is also confirmed that indeed AG codes over extension fields have stronger leakage-resilience under some reasonable assumptions. Furthermore, we also show that AG codes over extension fields may provide strong multiplicative property which may be used in its application to the study of multiparty computation. In contrast, the same cannot be said for constructions based on concatenated AG codes, even when we are considering multiplication friendly embeddings. These advantages strongly motivate the study of secret sharing schemes from AG codes over extension fields. The current paper has two main contributions: (i) we obtain leakage-resilient secret sharing schemes with constant share sizes and unbounded numbers of players. Some of the schemes constructed without the use of concatenation also possesses strong multiplicative property (ii) via Fourier Analysis, we analyze the leakage-resilience of secret sharing schemes from codes over extension fields. This is of its own theoretical interest independent of its application to secret sharing schemes from algebraic geometric codes over extension fields.National Research Foundation (NRF)Submitted/Accepted versionThe work of Ivan Tjuawinata was supported by the National Research Foundation, Singapore, under its Strategic Capability Research Centres Funding Initiative.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
