Salient Object-Aware Background Generation using Text-Guided Diffusion Models
Amir Erfan Eshratifar, Joao V. B. Soares, Kapil Thadani +4
Generating background scenes for salient objects plays a crucial role across various domains including creative design and e-commerce, as it enhances the presentation and context o…
Staging E-Commerce Products for Online Advertising using Retrieval Assisted Image Generation
Yueh-Ning Ku, Mikhail Kuznetsov, Shaunak Mishra +1
Online ads showing e-commerce products typically rely on the product images in a catalog sent to the advertising platform by an e-commerce platform. In the broader ads industry suc…
TSI: an Ad Text Strength Indicator using Text-to-CTR and Semantic-Ad-Similarity
Shaunak Mishra, Changwei Hu, Manisha Verma +3
Coming up with effective ad text is a time consuming process, and particularly challenging for small businesses with limited advertising experience. When an inexperienced advertise…
Powering COVID-19 community Q&A with Curated Side Information

Group secret key agreement over state-dependent wireless broadcast channels
Mahdi Jafari Siavoshani, Shaunak Mishra, Christina Fragouli +1
We consider a group of trusted and authenticated nodes that aim to create a shared secret key over a wireless channel in the presence of an eavesdropper Eve. We assume that…
Secure State Estimation against Sensor Attacks in the Presence of Noise
Shaunak Mishra, Yasser Shoukry, Nikhil Karamchandani +2
We consider the problem of estimating the state of a noisy linear dynamical system when an unknown subset of sensors is arbitrarily corrupted by an adversary. We propose a secure s…
Secure State Estimation: Optimal Guarantees against Sensor Attacks in the Presence of Noise
Shaunak Mishra, Yasser Shoukry, Nikhil Karamchandani +2
Motivated by the need to secure cyber-physical systems against attacks, we consider the problem of estimating the state of a noisy linear dynamical system when a subset of sensors…
Harnessing Bursty Interference in Multicarrier Systems with Feedback
Shaunak Mishra, I-Hsiang Wang, Suhas Diggavi
We study parallel symmetric 2-user interference channels when the interference is bursty and feedback is available from the respective receivers. Presence of interference in each s…
Using Feedback for Secrecy over Graphs
Shaunak Mishra, Christina Fragouli, Vinod Prabhakaran +1
We study the problem of secure message multicasting over graphs in the presence of a passive (node) adversary who tries to eavesdrop in the network. We show that use of feedback, f…
Opportunistic Interference Management for Multicarrier systems
Shaunak Mishra, I-Hsiang Wang, Suhas Diggavi
We study opportunistic interference management when there is bursty interference in parallel 2-user linear deterministic interference channels. A degraded message set communication…
