We develop and analyze concurrent algorithms for the disjoint set union (union-find) problem in the shared memory, asynchronous multiprocessor model of computation, with CAS (compare and swap) or DCAS (double compare and swap) as the…
Ordered sets and maps play important roles as index structures in relational data models. When a shared index in a multi-user system is modified concurrently, the current state of the index will diverge into multiple versions containing the…
Counterfactual explanations (CE) are the de facto method for providing insights into black-box decision-making models by identifying alternative inputs that lead to different outcomes. However, existing CE approaches, including group and…
This letter considers two groups of source nodes. Each group transmits packets to its own designated destination node over single-hop links and via a cluster of relay nodes shared by both groups. In an effort to boost reliability without…
In a multi-user scenario where users belong to different operators, any interference mitigation method needs unavoidably some degree of cooperation among service providers. In this paper we propose a cooperation strategy based on the…
Network interactions that are nonlinear in the state of more than two nodes - also known as higher-order interactions - can have a profound impact on the collective network dynamics. Here we develop a coupled cell hypernetwork formalism to…
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has gained significant attention as a potential next-generation multiple access technique. However, its implementation with finite-alphabet inputs faces challenges. Particularly, due to inter-user…
Deep ensembles perform better than a single network thanks to the diversity among their members. Recent approaches regularize predictions to increase diversity; however, they also drastically decrease individual members' performances. In…
This paper considers the downlink traffic from a base station to two different clients. When assuming infinite backlog, it is known that inter-session network coding (INC) can significantly increase the throughput of each flow. However, the…
Local constraint ordered statistics decoding (LC-OSD) provides strong soft decision performance for short block length linear codes, but its practical cost is dominated by the number of tested error patterns (TEPs). This paper proposes a…
This paper presents a non-blocking Patricia trie implementation for an asynchronous shared-memory system using Compare&Swap. The trie implements a linearizable set and supports three update operations: insert adds an element, delete removes…
We leverage diffusion models to study the robustness-performance tradeoff of robust classifiers. Our approach introduces a simple, pretrained diffusion method to generate low-norm counterfactual examples (CEs): semantically altered data…
Coroutines are experiencing a renaissance as many modern programming languages support the use of cooperative multitasking for highly parallel or asynchronous applications. One of the greatest advantages of this is that concurrency and…
There are many applications where users seek to explore the impact of the settings of several categorical variables with respect to one dependent numerical variable. For example, a computer systems analyst might want to study how the type…
Dynamic Network Embedding (DNE) has recently attracted considerable attention due to the advantage of network embedding in various fields and the dynamic nature of many real-world networks. An input dynamic network to DNE is often assumed…
In this study we explore the performance gain that can be achieved at the network level by employing successive interference cancelation (SIC) instead of treating interference as noise for random access wireless mesh networks with…
We employ the Bayesian improved cross entropy (BiCE) method for rare event estimation in static networks and choose the categorical mixture as the parametric family to capture the dependence among network components. At each iteration of…
We illustrate use of nonparametric statistical methods to compare alternative treatments for a particular disease or condition on both their relative effectiveness and their relative cost. These Incremental Cost Effectiveness (ICE) methods…
Split conformal prediction (CP) is arguably the most popular CP method for uncertainty quantification, enjoying both academic interest and widespread deployment. However, the original theoretical analysis of split CP makes the crucial…
Pion exchange is the central ingredient to nucleon-nucleon interactions used in nuclear structure calculations, and one pion exchange (OPE) enters at leading order in chiral effective field theory. In the $^{2S+1}L_J={^1S_0}$ partial wave,…
