In two respects Ludwig Boltzmann was a pioneer of quantum mechanics. First because in his statistical interpretation of the second law of thermodynamics he introduced the theory of probability into a fundamental law of physics and thus broke with t...
The increasing size of large language models (LLMs) has introduced challenges in their training and inference. Removing model components is perceived as a solution to tackle the large model sizes, however, existing pruning methods solely focus on per...
The burst of demand for TNCs has significantly changed the transportation landscape and dramatically disrupted the Vehicle for Hire (VFH) market that used to be dominated by taxicabs for many years. Since first being introduced by Uber in 2009, rides...
Selection bias is the bias introduced by the selection of individuals, groups, or data for analysis in such a way that the association between exposure
The activity of a special economic zone is defined by a dynamic equation, taking into account the individual strategies of residents. At a given point in time, in respect to the resident enterprise of a special economic zone, a regime is introduced t...
This study investigates the identification of marginal treatment responses within multi-valued treatment models. Extending the hyper-rectangle model introduced by Lee and Salanie (2018), this paper relaxes restrictive assumptions, including the requi...
Recently, a "popular" app silently introduced "usage fee" for bill payment via credit card. So, I wrote a bash script to roll it back. I scraped several older versions of the app from APKPure and ran...
genuinely a really nice place to work. I keep waiting for someone to go 'This isn't the real job, this is the real job and it's worse'. But it's really good

The EU GDPR is a landmark regulation that introduced several rights for individuals to obtain information and control how their personal data is being processed, as well as receive a copy of it. However, there are gaps in the effective use of rights...
The rapid advancement of Large Language Models (LLMs) has introduced significant challenges in moderating user-model interactions. While LLMs demonstrate remarkable capabilities, they remain vulnerable to adversarial attacks, particularly ``jailbreak...
Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly applied for Process Modeling (PMo) tasks such as Process Model Generation (PMG). To support these tasks, researchers have introduced a variety of Process Model Representations (PMRs) that serve as model a...
A new method unifying many and few-body aspects of nuclear structure has recently been introduced \cite{hov18}. This method combines the many-body description of a core and the few-body structure of this core surrounded by two valence nucleons. For t...
The expansive globalization of the semiconductor supply chain has introduced numerous untrusted entities into different stages of a device's lifecycle. To make matters worse, the increase complexity in the design as well as aggressive time to market...
We present SciServer, a science platform built and supported by the Institute for Data Intensive Engineering and Science at the Johns Hopkins University. SciServer builds upon and extends the SkyServer system of server-side tools that introduced the...
The purpose of this paper is to study a statistic that is used to compare the similarity between two strings, which is first introduced by Michael Steele in 1982. It was proposed as an alternative to the length of the longest common subsequences, for...
Inversive distance circle packing on surfaces was introduced by Bowers-Stephenson as a generalization of Thurston's circle packing and conjectured to be rigid. The infinitesimal and global rigidity of circle packing with nonnegative inversive distanc...
Conditional spatial queries are recently introduced into DEtection TRansformer (DETR) to accelerate convergence. In DAB-DETR, such queries are modulated by the so-called conditional linear projection at each decoder stage, aiming to search for positi...
In arXiv:1808.06095 we have introduced the Knuth class of the word recording a sequence of locations for repeated internal insertion operations in the Sagan-Stanley skew RSK correspondence, with no prescribed external insertion of new cells, to be a...

It is well known that an intersecting family of subsets of an n-element set can contain at most 2^(n-1) sets. It is natural to wonder how `close' to intersecting a family of size greater than 2^(n-1) can be. Katona, Katona and Katona introduced the i...
