The staleness problem is a well-known problem when working with dynamic data, due to the absence of events for a long time. Since the memory of the node is updated only when the node is involved in an event, its memory becomes stale.…
Program tracing, or mentally simulating a program on concrete inputs, is an important part of general program comprehension. Programs involve many kinds of virtual state that must be held in memory, such as variable/value pairs and a call…
Crowd algorithms often assume workers are inexperienced and thus fail to adapt as workers in the crowd learn a task. These assumptions fundamentally limit the types of tasks that systems based on such algorithms can handle. This paper…
Random reshuffling, which randomly permutes the dataset each epoch, is widely adopted in model training because it yields faster convergence than with-replacement sampling. Recent studies indicate greedily chosen data orderings can further…
Humans are efficient continual learning systems; we continually learn new skills from birth with finite cells and resources. Our learning is highly optimized both in terms of capacity and time while not suffering from catastrophic…
As robotic systems (RS) become more autonomous, they are becoming increasingly used in small spaces and offices to automate tasks such as cleaning, infrastructure maintenance, or resource management. In this paper, we propose iTrash, an…
Event-based object detection has recently garnered attention in the computer vision community due to the exceptional properties of event cameras, such as high dynamic range and no motion blur. However, feature asynchronism and sparsity…
Picking cluttered general objects is a challenging task due to the complex geometries and various stacking configurations. Many prior works utilize pose estimation for picking, but pose estimation is difficult on cluttered objects. In this…
Dense clutter removal for target object retrieval presents a challenging problem, especially when targets are embedded deep within densely-packed configurations. It requires foresight to minimize overall changes to the clutter configuration…
High-utility itemset mining finds itemsets from a transaction database with utility no less than a fixed user-defined threshold. The utility of an itemset is defined as the sum of the utilities of its item. Several algorithms were proposed…
