What impacts more on innovation : Organizational context or individual competences ?
The present article examines the link between a firm’s organizational context and its capacity to be ambidextrous in terms of innovation. Although the management practices underlying context have a profound effect on innovation, their impact has not previously been investigated. Nor has research looked empirically at the individual competences that should be developed in order to favour specific types of innovation. Using a dataset of 174 firms, the present study shows that firms pursuing exploration and exploitation strategies in terms of innovation should adopt long-term oriented practices that favor risk taking and creativity, thus creating an appropriate organizational context. Competence management was found to have a strong moderating effect on the link between organizational context and innovation ambidexterity. Implications include the need to look at how management may increase innovation ambidexterity, and to chose appropriate combinations of competences and organizational context
Gazelle: A Low Latency Framework for Secure Neural Network Inference
The growing popularity of cloud-based machine learning raises a natural
question about the privacy guarantees that can be provided in such a setting.
Our work tackles this problem in the context where a client wishes to classify
private images using a convolutional neural network (CNN) trained by a server.
Our goal is to build efficient protocols whereby the client can acquire the
classification result without revealing their input to the server, while
guaranteeing the privacy of the server's neural network.
To this end, we design Gazelle, a scalable and low-latency system for secure
neural network inference, using an intricate combination of homomorphic
encryption and traditional two-party computation techniques (such as garbled
circuits). Gazelle makes three contributions. First, we design the Gazelle
homomorphic encryption library which provides fast algorithms for basic
homomorphic operations such as SIMD (single instruction multiple data)
addition, SIMD multiplication and ciphertext permutation. Second, we implement
the Gazelle homomorphic linear algebra kernels which map neural network layers
to optimized homomorphic matrix-vector multiplication and convolution routines.
Third, we design optimized encryption switching protocols which seamlessly
convert between homomorphic and garbled circuit encodings to enable
implementation of complete neural network inference.
We evaluate our protocols on benchmark neural networks trained on the MNIST
and CIFAR-10 datasets and show that Gazelle outperforms the best existing
systems such as MiniONN (ACM CCS 2017) by 20 times and Chameleon (Crypto Eprint
2017/1164) by 30 times in online runtime. Similarly when compared with fully
homomorphic approaches like CryptoNets (ICML 2016) we demonstrate three orders
of magnitude faster online run-time
A memória da luz : customizações e encontros com o espectador
Tese (doutorado)—Universidade de BrasĂlia, Instituto de Artes, Departamento de Artes Visuais, 2017.O presente trabalho fala do desenvolvimento e aplicação de simulacros computacionais da luz como opção poĂ©tica que Ă© estĂ©tica e empiricamente investigada de modo a envolver a comparação de minhas percepções e meus horizontes, como artista, com os de meus espectadores, como forma de encontrar aproximações e distâncias entre essas percepções e horizontes enquanto criações necessariamente implicadas na fruição esteticamente qualificada desses simulacros, em favor de um maior entendimento sobre o que poderia ser um encontro ou comunicação possĂvel entre autor e receptor e na expectativa de obter, pelo somatĂłrio de percepções e horizontes colhidos desses espectadores, uma revelação paulatina das propostas artĂsticas correspondentes a esses simulacros.This work is about the development and application of computer light simulacra as poetic option that is aesthetically and empirically investigated in a way that involves the comparison of my perceptions and horizons, as an artist, with those of my spectators, as a way to find the proximities and distances between those perceptions and horizons as creations necessarily implied in the fruition aesthetically qualified of these simulacra, in favor of a greater understanding of what could be a possible encounter or communication between author and receiver and in the expectation of a gradual revelation of the artistic proposals corresponding to these simulacra, by the sum of perceptions and horizons taken from those spectators
