We introduce a new class of scheduling problems in which the optimization is performed by the worker (single ``machine'') who performs the tasks. A typical worker's objective is to minimize the amount of work he does (he is ``lazy''), or…
Spaced repetition is a technique for efficient memorization which uses repeated, spaced review of content to improve long-term retention. Can we find the optimal reviewing schedule to maximize the benefits of spaced repetition? In this…
Monotonicity is a simple yet significant qualitative characteristic. We consider the problem of segmenting an array in up to K segments. We want segments to be as monotonic as possible and to alternate signs. We propose a quality metric for…

We consider the problem of scheduling $n$ precedence-constrained jobs on $m$ uniformly-related machines in the presence of an arbitrary, fixed communication delay $\rho$. We consider a model that allows job duplication, i.e. processing of…
The problem of checking a logged event trace against a temporal logic specification arises in many practical cases. Unfortunately, known algorithms for an expressive logic like MTL (Metric Temporal Logic) do not scale with respect to two…
Arguments about correctness of a concurrent data structure are typically carried out by using the notion of linearizability and specifying the linearization points of the data structure's procedures. Such arguments are often cumbersome as…
Plan Recognition algorithms require to recognize a complete hierarchy explaining the agent's actions and goals. While the output of such algorithms is informative to the recognizer, the cost of its calculation is high in run-time, space,…
We consider a set of transmitter-receiver pairs, or links, that share a common channel and address the problem of emptying backlogged queues at the transmitters in minimum time. The problem amounts to determining activation subsets of links…
Min orderings give a vertex ordering characterization, common to some graphs and digraphs such as interval graphs, complements of threshold tolerance graphs (known as co-TT graphs), and two-directional orthogonal ray graphs. An adjusted…
This paper is an introduction to Lambdix, a lazy Lisp interpreter implemented at the Research Laboratory of Paris XI University (Laboratoire de Recherche en Informatique, Orsay). Lambdix was devised in the course of an investigation into…
In this work, we address unconstrained finite-sum optimization problems, with particular focus on instances originating in large scale deep learning scenarios. Our main interest lies in the exploration of the relationship between recent…
One way to understand time-series data is to identify the underlying dynamical system which generates it. This task can be done by selecting an appropriate model and a set of parameters which best fits the dynamics while providing the…
We initiate the study of the Interval Selection problem in the (streaming) sliding window model of computation. In this problem, an algorithm receives a potentially infinite stream of intervals on the line, and the objective is to maintain…
Non-linear least squares solvers are used across a broad range of offline and real-time model fitting problems. Most improvements of the basic Gauss-Newton algorithm tackle convergence guarantees or leverage the sparsity of the underlying…
In a temporal graph, each edge is available at specific points in time. Such an availability point is often represented by a ''temporal edge'' that can be traversed from its tail only at a specific departure time, for arriving in its head…
While the design of optimal peak-to-peak controllers/observers for linear systems is known to be a difficult problem, this problem becomes interestingly much easier in the context of interval observers because of the positive nature of the…
Motivated by applications to information retrieval, we study the lattice of antichains of finite intervals of a locally finite, totally ordered set. Intervals are ordered by reverse inclusion; the order between antichains is induced by the…
This paper considers scheduling on identical machines. The scheduling objective considered in this paper generalizes most scheduling minimization problems. In the problem, there are $n$ jobs and each job $j$ is associated with a…
In multi-user semantic communication, language mismatche poses a significant challenge when independently trained agents interact. We present a novel semantic equalization algorithm that enables communication between agents with different…
