Multimodal instruction tuning is often compute-inefficient because training budgets are spread across large mixed image-video pools whose utility is highly uneven. We present Goal-Driven Data Optimization (GDO), a framework that computes…
Modern computing systems are increasingly more complex, with their multicore CPUs and GPUs accelerators changing yearly, if not more often. It thus has become very challenging to write programs that efficiently use the associated complex…
Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models improve the scalability of large language models (LLMs) by activating only a small subset of relevant experts per input. However, the sheer number of expert networks in an MoE model introduces a significant…
We present a branch and bound method for maximizing an arbitrary set function h mapping 2^V to R. By decomposing h as f-g, where f is a submodular function and g is the cut function of a (simple, undirected) graph G with vertex set V, our…
Let $V$ be a set of $n$ vertices, ${\cal M}$ a set of $m$ labels, and let $\mathbf{R}$ be an $m \times n$ matrix of independent Bernoulli random variables with success probability $p$. A random instance $G(V,E,\mathbf{R}^T\mathbf{R})$ of…

The (Perfect) Matching Cut problem is to decide if a graph $G$ has a (perfect) matching cut, i.e., a (perfect) matching that is also an edge cut of $G$. Both Matching Cut and Perfect Matching Cut are known to be NP-complete. A perfect…
