• Neural approaches to discourse coherence: modeling, evaluation and application ﻿

Discourse coherence is an important aspect of text quality that refers to the way different textual units relate to each other. In this thesis, I investigate neural approaches to modeling discourse coherence. I present a ...
• Compressive sensing of images and video: towards low-complexity, real-time operation ﻿

Compressive Sensing (CS) acquires sparse signals with far fewer measurements than samples required by the classical Nyquist sampling theorem, at the cost of more computationally intensive reconstruction. Video Block ...
• Availability, Integrity, and Confidentiality for Content Centric Network internet architectures ﻿

The Internet as we know it today, despite being the result of a series of accidents of choices'' in Prof. Jon Crowcroft's words, has undoubtedly been an amazing success story. However, it has been constantly challenged ...
• Hardware and software fingerprinting of mobile devices ﻿

This dissertation presents novel and practical algorithms to identify the software and hardware components on mobile devices. In particular, we make significant contributions in two challenging areas: library fingerprinting, ...
