1. Loading your friend's data into a dictionary Someone's feet on table facing a television Netflix! What started in 1997 as a DVD rental service has since exploded into the largest entertainment/media company by market capitalization, boasting over 200 millio…
Stability of a cascade system with two stations and its extension for multiple s…
We consider a two station cascade system in which waiting or externally arriving customers at station $1$ move to the station $2$ if the queue size of station $1$ including a customer being served is greater than a given threshold level $C_{1} \ge 1$...
Estimating the Probability of Meeting a Deadline in Hierarchical Plans
Given a hierarchical plan (or schedule) with uncertain task times, we propose a deterministic polynomial (time and memory) algorithm for estimating the probability that its meets a deadline, or, alternately, that its {\em makespan} is less than a giv...
Document Layout Annotation: Database and Benchmark in the Domain of Public Affai…
Every day, thousands of digital documents are generated with useful information for companies, public organizations, and citizens. Given the impossibility of processing them manually, the automatic processing of these documents is becoming increasing...
Certified randomness from quantum speed limits
Quantum speed limits are usually regarded as fundamental restrictions, constraining the amount of computation that can be achieved within some given time and energy. Complementary to this intuition, here we show that these limitations are also of ope...
Estimating the Total Volume of Queries to a Search Engine
We study the problem of estimating the total number of searches (volume) of queries in a specific domain, which were submitted to a search engine in a given time period. Our statistical model assumes that the distribution of searches follows a Zipf's...
Female Superstar Tier List (An Attempt)
Hi! Long time listener, first time caller. I was recently in a trade discussion with another user, and the topic of "value rankings" came up. Given the volume of threads in this community asking for...

SortNet: Learning To Rank By a Neural-Based Sorting Algorithm
The problem of relevance ranking consists of sorting a set of objects with respect to a given criterion. Since users may prefer different relevance criteria, the ranking algorithms should be adaptable to the user needs. Two main approaches exist in l...
Approximate Clustering with Same-Cluster Queries
Ashtiani et al. proposed a Semi-Supervised Active Clustering framework (SSAC), where the learner is allowed to make adaptive queries to a domain expert. The queries are of the kind "do two given points belong to the same optimal cluster?" There are m...
How many functions can be distinguished with k quantum queries?
Suppose an oracle is known to hold one of a given set of D two-valued functions. To successfully identify which function the oracle holds with k classical queries, it must be the case that D is at most 2^k. In this paper we derive a bound for how m...
A flag version of Beilinson-Drinfeld Grassmannian for surfaces
In this paper we define and study a generalization of the Belinson-Drinfeld Grassmannian to the case where the curve is replaced by a smooth projective surface $X$, and the trivialization data are given on loci suitably associated to a nonlinear flag...
AIO-P: Expanding Neural Performance Predictors Beyond Image Classification
Evaluating neural network performance is critical to deep neural network design but a costly procedure. Neural predictors provide an efficient solution by treating architectures as samples and learning to estimate their performance on a given task. H...
Sexy Steampunk Babes: Chapter Thirty Nine
Pausing only to ensure the clearing was clear, Isabella wasted no time in dashing to the log at the centre of it and shifting it aside. A peculiar sight to be sure, if anyone were observing, given th...
Validating Streaming JSON Documents with Learned VPAs
We present a new streaming algorithm to validate JSON documents against a set of constraints given as a JSON schema. Among the possible values a JSON document can hold, objects are unordered collections of key-value pairs while arrays are ordered col...
HumanNeRF: Free-viewpoint Rendering of Moving People from Monocular Video
We introduce a free-viewpoint rendering method -- HumanNeRF -- that works on a given monocular video of a human performing complex body motions, e.g. a video from YouTube. Our method enables pausing the video at any frame and rendering the subject fr...
Maximally extended, explicit and regular coverings of the Schwarzschild - de Sit…
Maximally extended, explicit and regular coverings of the Schwarzschild - de Sitter family of vacua are given, first in spacetime (generalizing a result due to Israel) and then for all dimensions $D$ (assuming a $D-2$ sphere). It is shown that thes...

The Nayirah testimony was false testimony given before the United States Congressional Human Rights Caucus on October 10, 1990, by a 15-year-old Kuwaiti
Reconfiguration of unit squares and disks: PSPACE-hardness in simple settings
We study two well-known reconfiguration problems. Given a start and a target configuration of geometric objects in a polygon, we wonder whether we can move the objects from the start configuration to the target configuration while avoiding collisions...
