The COVID-19 pandemic changed the way we live, work and the way we conduct research. With the restrictions of lockdowns and social distancing, various impacts were experienced by many software engineering researchers, especially whose…
This is a report of the concluding talk presented at the International Symposium on QCD Corrections and New Physics which was held during October 27-29, 1997 at Mielparque Hiroshima, Hiroshima, Japan. The report will be published in the…
Increased information sharing through short and long-range skip connections between layers in fully convolutional networks have demonstrated significant improvement in performance for semantic segmentation. In this paper, we propose…
The scientific community increasingly relies on open data sharing, yet existing metrics inadequately capture the true impact of datasets as research outputs. Traditional measures, such as the h-index, focus on publications and citations but…
Social media is often the first place where communities discuss the latest societal trends. Prior works have utilized this platform to extract epidemic-related information (e.g. infections, preventive measures) to provide early warnings for…
The COVID-19 pandemic has by-and-large prevented in-person meetings since March 2020. While the increasing deployment of effective vaccines around the world is a very positive development, the timeline and pathway to "normality" is…
This document represents the proceedings of the 2025 XCSP3 Competition. The results of this competition of constraint solvers were presented at CP'25 (31st International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming).
In an imaginary conversation with Guido Altarelli, I express my views on the status of particle physics beyond the Standard Model and its future prospects.
Contagion, a concept from epidemiology, has long been used to characterize social influence on people's behavior and affective (emotional) states. While it has revealed many useful insights, it is not clear whether the contagion metaphor is…
Mindset reconstruction maps how individuals structure and perceive knowledge, a map unfolded here by investigating language and its cognitive reflection in the human mind, i.e. the mental lexicon. Textual forma mentis networks (TFMN) are…
This paper proposes a new approximation algorithm for the offline Virtual Network Embedding Problem (VNEP) with latency constraints. Given is a set of virtual networks with computational demands on nodes and bandwidth demands together with…
Interconnection is crucial for computing systems. However, the current interconnection performance between processors and devices, such as memory devices and accelerators, significantly lags behind their computing performance, severely…
This volume contains the proceedings of ICE'24, the 17th Interaction and Concurrency Experience, which was held on Friday 21th June 2024 at the University of Groningen in Groningen, The Netherlands, as a satellite workshop of DisCoTec 2024.…
This is a letter to editor, about a previously published paper and comments.
With the advent of large language models, methods for abstractive summarization have made great strides, creating potential for use in applications to aid knowledge workers processing unwieldy document collections. One such setting is the…
This is a series of three lectures I gave at the Korea Institute of Advanced Study in June 2019 at a workshop about "Algebraic and Symplectic Aspects of Degenerations of Complex Surfaces". I focus on the symplectic aspects, in particular on…
I will present here my perception on the status of Deep Inelastic Scattering physics, as I have further developed it during this Workshop, together with a number of comments on the results that have impressed me most during this week. I…
We propose \emph{ClawXiv}, a workflow and archive architecture for mixed human--AI research. The immediate problem is not only public dissemination of preprints, but also reliable migration from volatile chat sessions and heterogeneous…
In the realm of human-computer interaction, fostering a natural dialogue between humans and machines is paramount. A key, often overlooked, component of this dialogue is the use of interjections such as "mmm" and "hmm". Despite their…
This whitepaper was written in response to the open-to-public writing prompt hosted by the US Army Training & Doctrine Command (TRADOC) Mad Scientist Initiative. The 2024 Mad Scientist Writing Prompt called for a predictive discussion or…
