Summary: This paper proposes a novel personalized federated learning algorithm based on information fusion to solve the problem of information fusion and sharing in intelligent vehicle networking. The algorithm achieves personalized privacy protection by grading users' privacy based on their preferences and adding noise that satisfies their privacy preferences.

Summary: Recent studies have highlighted the importance of new technologies such as Blockchain (BC), Software Defined Networking (SDN), and Smart Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). These technologies offer data integrity, confidentiality, and integrity, particularly in industrial applications. Cloud computing, a well-established technology, is used to exchange sensitive information and provide remote access to computing and storage resources in the IIoT. However, cloud computing also presents significant security risks and challenges. To tackle these issues, this paper proposes a cloud computing platform for the IIoT that combines BC and SDN. The proposed architecture, named DistB-SDCloud, utilizes distributed BC for enhanced security, privacy, and integrity while maintaining flexibility and scalability. Furthermore, an SDN method is introduced to improve the durability, stability, and load balancing of the cloud infrastructure. The effectiveness of this implementation is experimentally tested using various parameters and monitoring attacks on the system.

Summary: The acquisition of multi-view hash representation for heterogeneous data is highly important for multimedia retrieval. Current approaches suffer from limited retrieval precision due to insufficient integration of multi-view features and failure to effectively utilize metric information from diverse samples. In this paper, we propose an innovative method called Fast Metric Multi-View Hashing (FMMVH), which demonstrates the superiority of gate-based fusion over traditional methods. We also introduce a novel deep metric loss function to leverage metric information from dissimilar samples. By optimizing and employing model compression techniques, our FMMVH method significantly outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods on benchmark datasets, with up to 7.47% improvement in mean Average Precision (mAP).
