Collaborative text editing algorithms allow several users to concurrently modify a text file, and automatically merge concurrent edits into a consistent state. Existing algorithms fall in two categories: Operational Transformation (OT)…

A collaboration framework is a distributed system that serves as the data layer for a collaborative app. Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs) are a promising theoretical technique for implementing collaboration frameworks. However,…

Commutative Replicated Data-Type (CRDT) is a new class of algorithms that ensures scalable consistency of replicated data. It has been successfully applied to collaborative editing of texts without complex concurrency control. In this…

Collaborative editing consists in editing a common document shared by several independent sites. This may give rise to conficts when two different users perform simultaneous uncompatible operations. Centralized systems solve this problem by…

Model merging has emerged as an efficient method to combine multiple single-task fine-tuned models. The merged model can enjoy multi-task capabilities without expensive training. While promising, merging into a single model often suffers…

Jointly learning multiple tasks with a unified model can improve accuracy and data efficiency, but it faces the challenge of task interference, where optimizing one task objective may inadvertently compromise the performance of another. A…

In collaborative software development, program merging is the mechanism to integrate changes from multiple programmers. Merge algorithms in modern version control systems report a conflict when changes interfere textually. Merge conflicts…

Assessing whether AI-generated images are substantially similar to source works is a crucial step in resolving copyright disputes. In this paper, we propose CopyJudge, a novel automated infringement identification framework that leverages…

Collaborative Data Sharing is widely noticed to be essential for distributed systems. Among several proposed strategies, conflict-free techniques are considered useful for serverless concurrent systems. They aim at making shared data be…

Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs) allow collaborative access to an app's data. We describe a novel CRDT operation, for-each on the list of CRDTs, and demonstrate its use in collaborative apps. Our for-each operation applies a…

Large-scale generative models have shown impressive image-generation capabilities, propelled by massive data. However, this often inadvertently leads to the generation of harmful or inappropriate content and raises copyright concerns.…

Data replication is used in distributed systems to maintain up-to-date copies of shared data across multiple computers in a network. However, despite decades of research, algorithms for achieving consistency in replicated systems are still…

We present Felix --- a flexible text-editing approach for generation, designed to derive the maximum benefit from the ideas of decoding with bi-directional contexts and self-supervised pre-training. In contrast to conventional…

In an asynchronous cooperative editing workflow of a structured document, each of the co-authors receives in the different phases of the editing process, a copy of the document to insert its contribution. For confidentiality reasons, this…

Software engineers who collaborate to develop software in teams often have to manually merge changes they made to a module (e.g. a class), because the change conflicts with one that has just been made by another engineer to the same or…

Interleaving is an online evaluation approach for information retrieval systems that compares the effectiveness of ranking functions in interpreting the users' implicit feedback. Previous work such as Hofmann et al (2011) has evaluated the…

Erasure coding techniques are getting integrated in networked distributed storage systems as a way to provide fault-tolerance at the cost of less storage overhead than traditional replication. Redundancy is maintained over time through…

In this paper we investigate the \emph{approximate string matching problem} when the allowed edit operations are \emph{non-overlapping unbalanced translocations of adjacent factors}. Such kind of edit operations take place when two adjacent…

Federated Learning (FL) has emerged as a powerful paradigm for collaborative machine learning across decentralized data sources, preserving privacy by keeping data local. However, increasing legal and ethical demands, such as the "right to…

A collaborative real-time text editor is an application that allows multiple users to edit a document simultaneously and merge their contributions automatically. It can be made collaborative by implementing a conflict resolution algorithm…
