Recently, Kim et al. introduced the Hamming + k with m overlapped pixels data hiding (Hk_mDH) based on matrix encoding. The embedding rate (ER) of this method is 0.54, which is better than Hamming code HC (n, n - k) and HC (n, n - k) +1 DH (H1DH), but not enough. Hamming code data hiding (HDH) is using a covering function COV(1, n = 2^k -1, k) and H1DH has a better embedding efficiency, when compared with HDH. The demerit of this method is that they do not exploit their space of pixels enough to increase ER. In this paper, we increase ER using sequential Hk_mDH (SHk_mDH ) through fully exploiting every pixel in a cover image. In SHk_mDH, a collision maybe happens when the position of two pixels within overlapped two blocks is the same. To solve the collision problem, in this paper, we have devised that the number of modification does not exceed 2 bits even if a collision occurs by using OPAP and LSB. Theoretical estimations of the average mean square error (AMSE) for these schemes demonstrate the advantage of our SHk_mDH scheme. Experimental results show that the proposed method is superior to previous schemes.

The way of combination of Product Perfect Codes (PPCs) is based on the theory of short codes constructing long codes. PPCs have larger embedding rate than Hamming codes by expending embedding columns in a coding block, and they have been proven to enhance the performance of the F₅ steganographic method. In this paper, the proposed modified product codes called MPCs are introduced as an efficient way to embed more data than PPCs by increasing 2^r₂-1-r₂ embedding columns. Unlike PPC, the generation of the check matrix H in MPC is random, and it is different from PPC. In addition a simple solving way of the linear algebraic equations is applied to figure out the problem of expending embedding columns or compensating cases. Furthermore, the MPCs over ℤ₄ have been proposed to further enhance not only the performance but also the computation speed which reaches O(n₁+σ). Finally, the proposed ℤ₄-MPC intends to maximize the embedding rate with maintaining less distortion , and the performance surpasses the existing improved product perfect codes. The performance of large embedding rate should have the significance in the high-capacity of covert communication.

The primary goal of attack on steganographic images, termed steganalysis, is to detect the presence of hidden data by finding statistical abnormality of a stego-media caused by data embedding. This paper proposes a novel steganographic scheme based on improving the (7, 4) Hamming code for digital images. The proposed scheme embeds a segment of six secret bits into a group of nine cover pixels at a time. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme achieves a 0.67bpp embedding payload and a slightly higher visual quality of stego images compared with the previous arts.

Nowadays, Islamic content is widely used in research, including Hadith and the Al-Quran. Both are mostly used in the field of natural language processing, especially in text classification research. One of the difficulties in learning the Al-Quran is ambiguity, while the Al-Quran is used as the main source of Islamic law and the life guidance of a Muslim in the world. This research was proposed to relieve people in learning the Al-Quran. We proposed a word embedding feature-based on Tensor Space Model as feature extraction, which is used to reduce the ambiguity. Based on the experiment results and the analysis, we prove that the proposed method yields the best performance with the Hamming loss 0.10317.

The invariance relation existing in the non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) is used for constructing robust image hashes in this work. The image is first re-scaled to a fixed size. Low-pass filtering is performed on the luminance component of the re-sized image to produce a normalized matrix. Entries in the normalized matrix are pseudo-randomly re-arranged under the control of a secret key to generate a secondary image. Non-negative matrix factorization is then performed on the secondary image. As the relation between most pairs of adjacent entries in the NMF's coefficient matrix is basically invariant to ordinary image processing, a coarse quantization scheme is devised to compress the extracted features contained in the coefficient matrix. The obtained binary elements are used to form the image hash after being scrambled based on another key. Similarity between hashes is measured by the Hamming distance. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme is robust against perceptually acceptable modifications to the image such as Gaussian filtering, moderate noise contamination, JPEG compression, re-scaling, and watermark embedding. Hashes of different images have very low collision probability. Tampering to local image areas can be detected by comparing the Hamming distance with a predetermined threshold, indicating the usefulness of the technique in digital forensics.

Research on how to embed knowledge in large-scale Linked Data and apply neural network models for entity matching is relatively scarce. The most fundamental problem with this is that different labels lead to lexical heterogeneity. In this paper, we propose an extended GCN (Graph Convolutional Network) model that combines re-align structure to solve this lexical heterogeneity problem. The proposed model improved the performance by 53% and 40%, respectively, compared to the existing embedded-based MTransE and BootEA models, and improved the performance by 5.1% compared to the GCN-based RDGCN model.

This paper proposes a new data hiding scheme for binary image authentication with minimizing the distortion of host image. Based on the Hamming-Code-Based data embedding algorithm, the proposed scheme makes it possible to embed authentication information into host image with only flipping small number of pixels. To minimize visual distortion, the proposed scheme only modifies the values of the flippable pixels that are selected based on Yang et al's flippablity criteria. In addition to this, by randomly shuffling the bit-order of the authentication information to be embedded, only the designated receiver, who has the secret key that was used for data embedding, can extract the embedded data. To show the superiority of the proposed scheme, the two measurement metrics, the miss detection rate and the number of flipped pixels by data embedding, are used for the comparison analysis between the proposed scheme and the previous schemes. As a result of analysis, it has been shown that the proposed scheme flips smaller number of pixels than the previous schemes to embed the authentication information of the same bit-length. Moreover, it has been shown that the proposed scheme causes smaller visual distortion and more resilient against recent steg-analysis attacks than the previous schemes by the experimental results.

In recent years, as near-duplicate image has been increasing explosively by the spread of Internet and image-editing technology that allows easy access to image contents, related research has been done briskly. However, BoF (Bag-of-Feature), the most frequently used method for near-duplicate image detection, can cause problems that distinguish the same features from different features or the different features from same features in the quantization process of approximating a high-level local features to low-level. Therefore, a post-verification method for BoF is required to overcome the limitation of vector quantization. In this paper, we proposed and analyzed the performance of a post-verification method for BoF, which converts SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform) descriptors into 128 bits binary codes and compares binary distance regarding of a short ranked list by BoF using the codes. Through an experiment using 1500 original images, it was shown that the near-duplicate detection accuracy was improved by approximately 4% over the previous BoF method.
