In the NFL draft, teams must strategically balance immediate player impact against long-term value, presenting a complex optimization challenge for draft capital management. This paper introduces a framework for evaluating the fairness and efficiency...
A recent paper [Go $\textit{et al}$., Phys. Rev. Lett. $\textbf{121}$, 086602 (2018)] proposed that the intrinsic orbital Hall effect (OHE) can emerge from momentum-space orbital texture in centrosymmetric materials. In searching for real materials w...
This paper studies the Best-of-K Bandit game: At each time the player chooses a subset S among all N-choose-K possible options and observes reward max(X(i) : i in S) where X is a random vector drawn from a joint distribution. The objective is to iden...
In this paper, we propose two methods for tackling the problem of cross-device matching for online advertising at CIKM Cup 2016. The first method considers the matching problem as a binary classification task and solve it by utilizing ensemble learni...
Conversational multi-doc question answering aims to answer specific questions based on the retrieved documents as well as the contextual conversations. In this paper, we introduce our winning approach for the "Conversational Multi-Doc QA" challenge i...
... and annoys everyone with unsolicited experiments. The present paper proposes a short pedagogical review of the various phenomena that can be observed in a coffee cup with little to no equipment. The physical domains spanned include acoustics, opt...
Allegedly, Brouwer discovered his famous fixed point theorem while stirring a cup of coffee and noticing that there is always at least one point in the liquid that does not move. In this paper, based on a talk in honour of Brouwer at the University o...
In this paper we introduce the notion of enlargement of a positive set in SSD spaces. To a maximally positive set $A$ we associate a family of enlargements $\E(A)$ and characterize the smallest and biggest element in this family with respect to the...
In this paper we review some old and new results about the enlargement of filtrations problem, as well as their applications to credit risk and insider trading problems. The enlargement of filtrations problem consists in the study of conditions under...
It was previously known that the almost greedy (AG) property essentially remains the same when we enlarge greedy sums in the classical definition by a factor $λ\geqslant 1$. The present paper shows that if instead, we enlarge greedy sums in a reform...
This paper demonstrates that SSDs, which perform device-level versioning, can be exposed to data tampering attacks when the retention time of data is less than the malware's dwell time. To deal with that threat, we propose SGX-SSD, a SGX-based versio...
This paper observes that there is an issue of high frequencies missing in the discriminator of standard GAN, and we reveal it stems from downsampling layers employed in the network architecture. This issue makes the generator lack the incentive from...
This paper puts forward the vision that a natural future stage of the electricity network could be a grid spanning the whole planet and connecting most of the large power plants in the world: this is the "Global Grid". The main driving force behind t...
In this paper, we propose the Global Life Patterns, a methodology to support people to maintain individuality and design their own actions in respect to the "globalizing" society - a Global Life. Today, globalization requires each person to maintain...
In this paper, we address the problem of sim-to-real transfer for object segmentation when there is no access to real examples of an object of interest during training, i.e. zero-shot sim-to-real transfer for segmentation. We focus on the application...
This paper is concerned with learning transferable contact models for aerial manipulation tasks. We investigate a contact-based approach for enabling unmanned aerial vehicles with cable-suspended passive grippers to compute the attach points on novel...
In this paper we present the Women in Computer Vision Workshop - WiCV 2019, organized in conjunction with CVPR 2019. This event is meant for increasing the visibility and inclusion of women researchers in the computer vision field. Computer vision an...
This paper reviews the status of women in science, physics in particular, in Cyprus. We describe the development of physics in the country, focusing on the contributions and participation of women. We present statistical data for the last several yea...
The rapid evolution of digital sports media necessitates sophisticated information retrieval systems that can efficiently parse extensive multimodal datasets. This paper introduces SoccerRAG, an innovative framework designed to harness the power of R...
This paper traces strategies used by the Radio Preservation Task Force of the Library of Congress's National Recording Preservation Board to develop a publicly searchable database documenting extant radio materials held by collecting institutions thr...
