• Abstract: In most High Performance Computing (HPC) projects nowadays, there is a lot of data obtained from different sources, depending on the project's objectives. Some of that data is very huge in terms of size, so copying such data sometimes is an unrealistic goal. On the other hand, science requires data used for different purposes to remain unaltered, so different groups of researchers can reproduce results, discuss theories, and validate each other. In this paper, we present a novel approach to help research groups to validate data integrity on such distributed repositories using Blockchain. Originally developed for cryptographic currencies, Blockchain has demonstrated a versatile range of uses. Our proposal ensures 1) secure access to data management, 2) easy validation of data integrity, and 3) an easy way to add new records to the dataset with the same robust integrity policy. A prototype was developed and tested using a subset of a public dataset from a real scientific collaboration, the Latin American Giant Observatory (LAGO) Project.

  This paper takes the most common COVID-19 as the application scenario and designs a COVID-19 health system based on blockchain.<n>Considering that the public and transparent nature of blockchain violates the privacy requirements of some health data, in the system design stage, the data is divided into public data and private data.<n>In the system implementation part, based on the Hyperledger Fabric architecture, some functions of the system design are realized, including data upload, retrieval of the latest data and historical data.

  We formulate the protection of released datasets as verifying whether they are adopted for training a (suspicious) third-party model. We propose to embed external patterns via backdoor watermarking for the ownership verification to protect them. Specifically, we exploit poison-only backdoor attacks ($e.g.$, BadNets) for dataset watermarking and design a hypothesis-test-guided method for dataset verification.

  Person re-identification (re-ID) has gained more and more attention due to its widespread applications in video surveillance. Unfortunately, the mainstream deep learning methods still need a large quantity of labeled data to train models. In this paper, we develop a data collector to automatically generate synthetic re-ID samples in a computer game, and construct a data labeler to simultaneously annotate them.

  In Byzantine robust distributed learning, a central server wants to train a machine learning model over data distributed across multiple workers. A fraction of these workers may deviate from the prescribed algorithm and send arbitrary messages. We propose a simple bucketing scheme that adapts existing robust algorithms to heterogeneous datasets at a negligible computational cost.
