Abstract:
Deep learning (DL) has widely applied in many industrial fields. The cost of a DL model includes data collection and labeling, algorithm design, training, professional experts’ efforts within high-performance computers. However, to duplicate a DL model is as easy as to copy a file. How do you prove the ownership of your DL models? This report concerns Intellectual Property protections technology for DL models. This topic presents an overview of DL models watermarking technology and security factors. Focusing on the security of DL models watermarking, a novel DL model watermarking mechanism shows significant meanings on the Intellectual Property Protections of intelligent entities in our society.

Abstract:
Due to the great power consumption, small battery capacity and mobility requirements, etc., the development and application of battery-powered communication devices are facing with unprecedented technical challenges. As a novel pattern of energization, the wireless power transfer (WPT) offers a band new way to the energy acquisition for electric-driven devices, thus alleviating the over-dependence on the battery. This topic presents an overview of WPT techniques with emphasis on working mechanisms, technical challenges, metamaterials, and classical applications in wireless communications. Focusing on WPT systems, this topic elaborates on current major research topics and discusses about future development trends in wireless communications. This novel energy transmission mechanism shows significant meanings on the pervasive application of renewable energies in our daily life.
