SEATER is a generative retrieval model that improves recommendation inference efficiency and retrieval quality by utilizing balanced tree-structured item identifiers and contrastive training objectives. We reproduce and validate SEATER's…
As an emerging cloud computing deployment paradigm, serverless computing is gaining traction due to its efficiency and ability to harness on-demand cloud resources. However, a significant hurdle remains in the form of the cold start…
Large Language Models (LLMs) trained for average correctness often exhibit mode collapse, producing narrow decision behaviors on tasks where multiple responses may be reasonable. This limitation is particularly problematic in ordinal…
One of the significant problem in peer-to-peer databases is collision problem. These databases do not rely on a central leader that is a reason to increase scalability and fault tolerance. Utilizing these systems in high throughput…
Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) face increasing challenges processing the growing volume of security-related information. Daily manual analysis of threat reports, security advisories, and vulnerability announcements leads to…
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are increasing to handle complex situations and functions. In these networks some of the nodes become Cluster Heads (CHs) which are responsible to aggregate data of from cluster members and transmit it to…
This paper examines resilient dynamic leader-follower consensus within multi-agent systems, where agents share first-order or second-order dynamics. The aim is to develop distributed protocols enabling nonfaulty/normal followers to…
Modern GPUs are designed for regular problems and suffer from load imbalance when processing irregular data. Prior to our work, a domain expert selects the best kernel to map fine-grained irregular parallelism to a GPU. We instead propose…
Designing reconfiguration schemes for consensus protocols is challenging because subtle corner cases during reconfiguration could invalidate the correctness of the protocol. Thus, most systems that embed consensus protocols conservatively…
Assembly state recognition facilitates the execution of assembly procedures, offering feedback to enhance efficiency and minimize errors. However, recognizing assembly states poses challenges in scalability, since parts are frequently…
Preference-based reinforcement learning (PbRL) has shown impressive capabilities in training agents without reward engineering. However, a notable limitation of PbRL is its dependency on substantial human feedback. This dependency stems…
In case of multiple node failures performance becomes very low as compare to single node failure. Failures of nodes in cluster computing can be tolerated by multiple fault tolerant computing. Existing recovery schemes are efficient for…
Selection combining (SC) at the destination for differential amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying is attractive as it does not require channel state information as compared to the semi maximum-ratio-combining (semi-MRC) while delivering close…
We consider cooperative communications with energy harvesting (EH) relays, and develop a distributed power control mechanism for the relaying terminals. Unlike prior art which mainly deal with single-relay systems with saturated traffic…
The rapid expansion of software development has significant environmental, technical, social, and economic impacts. Achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 compels developers to adopt sustainable practices.…
We consider in this work Edge Computing (EC) in a multi-tenant environment: the resource owner, i.e., the Network Operator (NO), virtualizes the resources and lets third party Service Providers (SPs - tenants) run their services, which can…
This paper presents an energy-efficient transmission framework for federated learning (FL) in industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) environments with strict latency and energy constraints. Machinery subnetworks (SNs) collaboratively train a…
As live streaming services skyrocket, Crowdsourced Cloud-edge service Platforms (CCPs) have surfaced as pivotal intermediaries catering to the mounting demand. Despite the role of stream scheduling to CCPs' Quality of Service (QoS) and…
This paper is concerned with the leader-following output consensus problem in the framework of distributed nonlinear observers. In stead of certain hypotheses on the leader system, a group of geometric conditions is put forward to develop a…
Dirty entity resolution (ER), which identifies records referring to the same real-world entity from a single, messy dataset, is a fundamental task in data management and mining. However, the dominant blocking-matching-clustering paradigm…
