Pilots’ voices from the last seconds of a fatal cargo plane crash have been re-created by Internet sleuths using software and AI tools. The spread of reconstructed audio recordings has prompted a US ...

Abstract: In this paper, we propose the Priority Facility Location Problem with Outliers (PFLPO), which is a generalization of both the Facility Location Problem with Outliers (FLPO) and Priority ...

A consensus algorithm is the rule a distributed network follows to agree on which new block is added to a blockchain, so every honest node ends up with the same ledger without trusting any single ...

Timely reconstruction of epidemic dynamics is essential for public health, and structured coalescent models constitute an essential tool for this purpose. However, statistical and computational ...

Cryptography secures communication in banking, messaging, and blockchain. Good algorithms (AES, RSA, ECC, SHA-2/3, ChaCha20) are secure, efficient, and widely trusted. Bad algorithms (DES, MD5, SHA-1, ...

Algorithms, examples and tests for denoising, deblurring, zooming, dequantization and compressive imaging with total variation (TV) and second-order total generalized variation (TGV) regularization.

A method of near-minimax polynomial approximation is described. As a by-product, this method provides a formula for an estimate of the maximum error associated with a ...

We propose the Trust Region Preference Approximation (TRPA) algorithm ⚙️, which integrates rule-based optimization with preference-based optimization for LLM reasoning tasks 🤖🧠. As a ...

Abstract: Noncommutative constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) are higher-dimensional operator extensions of classical CSPs. Their approximability remains largely unexplored. A notable example of a ...
