Over the past few years, self-attention is shining in the field of deep learning, especially in the domain of natural language processing(NLP). Its impressive effectiveness, along with ubiquitous implementations, have aroused our interest…
Social media apps have become very promising and omnipresent in daily life. Most social media apps are used to deliver vital information to those nearby and far away. As our lives become more hectic, many of us strive to limit our usage of…
Public special events, like sports games, concerts and festivals are well known to create disruptions in transportation systems, often catching the operators by surprise. Although these are usually planned well in advance, their impact is…
The NP-hard problem of task scheduling with communication delays (P|prec,c_{ij}|C_{\mathrm{max}}) is often tackled using approximate methods, but guarantees on the quality of these heuristic solutions are hard to come by. Optimal schedules…
Reorganizing bus frequency to cater for the actual travel demand can save the cost of the public transport system significantly. Many, if not all, existing studies formulate this as a bus frequency optimization problem which tries to…
The increasing recognition of the association between adverse human health conditions and many environmental substances as well as processes has led to the need to monitor them. An important problem that arises in environmental statistics…
Surgical scheduling optimization is an active area of research. However, few algorithms to optimize surgical scheduling are implemented and see sustained use. An algorithm is more likely to be implemented, if it allows for surgeon autonomy,…
This paper considers a problem where multiple users make repeated decisions based on their own observed events. The events and decisions at each time step determine the values of a utility function and a collection of penalty functions. The…
We study three two-stage optimization problems with a similar structure and different objectives. In the first stage of each problem, the goal is to assign input jobs of positive sizes to unsplittable bags. After this assignment is decided,…
The El Farol Bar Problem is a classic computational economics problem in which agents attempt to attend a weekly event at a bar only if it is not too crowded. Each agent has access to multiple competing strategies that may be used to…
Efficient matching of incoming events of data streams to persistent queries is fundamental to event stream processing systems. These applications require dealing with high volume and continuous data streams with fast processing time on…
A great variety of complex systems ranging from user interactions in communication networks to transactions in financial markets can be modeled as temporal graphs, which consist of a set of vertices and a series of timestamped and directed…
Large relational-event history data stemming from large networks are becoming increasingly available due to recent technological developments (e.g. digital communication, online databases, etc). This opens many new doors to learning about…
While previous work on energy-efficient algorithms focused on assumption that tasks can be assigned to any processor, we initially study the problem of task scheduling on restricted parallel processors. The objective is to minimize the…
High-quality and challenging event stream datasets play an important role in the design of an efficient event-driven mechanism that mimics the brain. Although event cameras can provide high dynamic range and low-energy event stream data,…
The advent of online social networks has facilitated fast and wide spread of information. However, some users, especially members of minority groups, may be less likely to receive information spreading on the network, due to their…
Event cameras offer high temporal resolution and power efficiency, making them well-suited for edge AI applications. However, their high event rates present challenges for data transmission and processing. Subsampling methods provide a…
Finding schedules for pairwise meetings between the members of a complex social group without creating interpersonal conflict is challenging, especially when different relationships have different needs. We formally define and study the…
Social media is becoming a primary medium to discuss what is happening around the world. Therefore, the data generated by social media platforms contain rich information which describes the ongoing events. Further, the timeliness associated…
Incorporating renewable energy sources (RESs) into manufacturing systems has been an active research area in order to address many challenges originating from the unpredictable nature of RESs such as photovoltaics.In the energy-aware…
