The prefill stage in long-context LLM inference remains a computational bottleneck. Recent token-ranking heuristics accelerate inference by selectively processing a subset of semantically relevant tokens. However, existing methods suffer…
Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) is a classical and important multivariate technique for exploring the relationship between two sets of continuous variables. CCA has applications in many fields, such as genomics and neuroimaging. It can…
Functional data analysis (FDA) deals with high-resolution data recorded over a continuum, such as time, space or frequency. Device-based assessments of physical activity or sleep are objective yet still prone to measurement error. We…
Image quality assessment(IQA) is of increasing importance for image-based applications. Its purpose is to establish a model that can replace humans for accurately evaluating image quality. According to whether the reference image is…
Developers today use significant amounts of open source code, surfacing the need for ways to automatically audit and upgrade library dependencies, and giving rise to the subfield of Software Composition Analysis (SCA). SCA products are…
Static program analysis today takes an analytical approach which is quite suitable for a well-scoped system. Data- and control-flow is taken into account. Special cases such as pointers, procedures, and undefined behavior must be handled. A…
Outcome labeling ambiguity and subjectivity are ubiquitous in real-world datasets. While practitioners commonly combine ambiguous outcome labels for all data points (instances) in an ad hoc way to improve the accuracy of multi-class…
Conducting research often involves managing multiple disconnected tools for survey design, data collection, response analysis, and report generation, leading to inefficiencies, increased error risks, and challenges in ensuring…
The rapid development of LLMs has sparked extensive research into their factual knowledge. Current works find that LLMs fall short on questions around low-frequency entities. However, such proofs are unreliable since the questions can…
Skewness plays a relevant role in several multivariate statistical techniques. Sometimes it is used to recover data features, as in cluster analysis. In other circumstances, skewness impairs the performances of statistical methods, as in…
Quality assurance (QA) tools are receiving more and more attention and are widely used by developers. Given the wide range of solutions for QA technology, it is still a question of evaluating QA tools. Most existing research is limited in…
Super-resolution (SR) applied to real-world low-resolution (LR) images often results in complex, irregular degradations that stem from the inherent complexity of natural scene acquisition. In contrast to SR artifacts arising from synthetic…
Reasoning quality in large language models depends not only on producing correct answers but also on generating valid intermediate steps. We study this through multiple-choice question answering (MCQA), which provides a controlled setting…
Realignment becomes necessary when a language model (LM) fails to meet expected performance. We propose a flexible realignment framework that supports quantitative control of alignment degree during training and inference. This framework…
CensSpatial is an R package for analyzing spatial censored data through linear models. It offers a set of tools for simulating, estimating, making predictions, and performing local influence diagnostics for outlier detection. The package…
Time is one of the crucial factors in real-world question answering (QA) problems. However, language models have difficulty understanding the relationships between time specifiers, such as 'after' and 'before', and numbers, since existing…
Collins(2002, 2011) raised a number of issues with regards to correspondence analysis (CA), such as: qualitative information in a CA map versus quantitative information in the relevant contingency table; the interpretation of a CA map is…
Retrieving real-time information is a fundamental capability for search-integrated agents in real-world applications. However, existing benchmarks are predominantly static and therefore fail to capture the temporal dynamics of information…
Scientific question answering (SQA) is an important task aimed at answering questions based on papers. However, current SQA datasets have limited reasoning types and neglect the relevance between tables and text, creating a significant gap…
Operational consistent query answering (CQA) is a recent framework for CQA based on revised definitions of repairs, which are built by applying a sequence of operations (e.g., fact deletions) starting from an inconsistent database until we…
