Performance and reliability of content access in mobile networks is conditioned by the number and location of content replicas deployed at the network nodes. Facility location theory has been the traditional, centralized approach to study…
For organizing large text corpora topic modeling provides useful tools. A widely used method is Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), a generative probabilistic model which models single texts in a collection of texts as mixtures of latent…
As the Internet and social media evolve rapidly, distinguishing credible news from a vast amount of complex information poses a significant challenge. Due to the suddenness and instability of news events, the authenticity labels of news can…
One of the primary objectives of a distributed storage system is to reliably store large amounts of source data for long durations using a large number $N$ of unreliable storage nodes, each with $c$ bits of storage capacity. Storage nodes…
In this study, we adopt age of information as a measure of the staleness of information, and take initial steps towards analyzing the control performance of stochastic systems with stale information. Our goals are to cast light on a…
A status updating system is considered in which multiple data sources generate packets to be delivered to a destination through a shared energy harvesting sensor. Only one source's data, when available, can be transmitted by the sensor at a…
Geo-distributed systems often replicate data at multiple locations to achieve availability and performance despite network partitions. These systems must accept updates at any replica and propagate these updates asynchronously to every…
The recent development in Internet of Things necessitates caching of dynamic contents, where new versions of contents become available around-the-clock and thus timely update is required to ensure their relevance. The age of information…
A source generates time-stamped update packets that are sent to a server and then forwarded to a monitor. This occurs in the presence of an adversary that can infer information about the source by observing the output process of the server.…
Peer-to-peer distributed storage systems provide reliable access to data through redundancy spread over nodes across the Internet. A key goal is to minimize the amount of bandwidth used to maintain that redundancy. Storing a file using an…
Spinnaker is an experimental datastore that is designed to run on a large cluster of commodity servers in a single datacenter. It features key-based range partitioning, 3-way replication, and a transactional get-put API with the option to…
In distributed storage systems, storage nodes intermittently go offline for numerous reasons. On coming back online, nodes need to update their contents to reflect any modifications to the data in the interim. In this paper, we consider a…
Looped Language Models (LoopLMs) enable efficient latent reasoning through depth recurrence, yet exhibit unreliable test-time scaling behavior: performance often peaks at a certain iteration depth and then collapses with further recurrence.…
Generative recommendation commonly adopts a two-stage pipeline in which a learnable tokenizer maps items to discrete token sequences (i.e. identifiers) and an autoregressive generative recommender model (GRM) performs prediction based on…
Latency is a key service factor for user satisfaction. Consistency is in a trade-off relation with operation latency in the distributed and replicated scenario. Existing NoSQL stores guarantee either strong or weak consistencies but none…
Users of distributed datastores that employ quorum-based replication are burdened with the choice of a suitable client-centric consistency setting for each storage operation. The above matching choice is difficult to reason about as it…
We investigate the age of information (AoI) of a relay-assisted cooperative communication system, where a source node sends status update packets to the destination node as timely as possible with the aid of a relay node. For time-slotted…
A key function of cloud infrastructure is to store and deliver diverse files, e.g., scientific datasets, social network information, videos, etc. In such systems, for the purpose of fast and reliable delivery, files are divided into chunks,…
We examine multiple independent sources providing status updates to a monitor through simple queues. We formulate an Age of Information (AoI) timeliness metric and derive a general result for the AoI that is applicable to a wide variety of…
Data-structure dynamization is a general approach for making static data structures dynamic. It is used extensively in geometric settings and in the guise of so-called merge (or compaction) policies in big-data databases such as Google…
