Under what condition is a random constraint satisfaction problem hard to refute by the sum-of-squares (SoS) algorithm? A sufficient condition is t-wise uniformity, that is, each constraint has a t-wis…
We study the problem of testing whether two tensors in $\mathbb{R}^\ell\otimes \mathbb{R}^m\otimes \mathbb{R}^n$ are isomorphic under the natural action of orthogonal groups $\textbf{O}(\ell, \mathbb{…
Propagation models are essential for modeling and simulating dynamic processes such as epidemics and information diffusion. However, existing tools struggle to scale to large-scale graphs that emerge …
Souls-like games exemplify how digital play can produce radical forms of pleasure through sustained challenge: players voluntarily invest tens or hundreds of hours in experiences designed to kill them…
Outdoor virtual reality (VR) places users in dynamic physical environments where they must remain aware of real-world obstacles, including static structures and moving bystanders, while immersed in a …
Climate action is difficult to persuade because we tend to perceive climate change as remote and disconnected from daily life. Instead of traditional informational engagements, game-based intervention…
Modern LLMs are increasingly accessed via black-box APIs, requiring users to transmit sensitive prompts, outputs, and fine-tuning data to external providers, creating a critical privacy risk at the AP…
Doppler-resilient complementary sequence (DRCS) sets play a vital role in modern communication and sensing systems, particularly in high-mobility environments. This work makes two primary contribution…
Large Language Model (LLM) safety guardrail models have emerged as a primary defense mechanism against harmful content generation, yet their robustness against sophisticated adversarial attacks remain…
Neural operators have demonstrated considerable effectiveness in accelerating the solution of time-dependent partial differential equations (PDEs) by directly learning governing physical laws from dat…
Our previous work established the feasibility of FPGA-based real-time trajectory anonymization, a critical task for protecting user privacy in modern location-based services (LBS). However, that pione…
Hybrid search has emerged as a promising paradigm that combines lexical and semantic retrieval, enhancing accuracy for applications such as recommendations, information retrieval, and Retrieval-Augmen…
Community Notes are emerging as an important option for content moderation. The Community Notes system pioneered by Twitter, now known as X, uses a bridging algorithm to identify user-generated contex…
Presence in virtual reality (VR), the subjective sense of "being there" in a virtual environment, is notoriously difficult to measure. Electroencephalography (EEG) may offer a promising, unobtrusive m…
The user experience with large-scale generative AI is paradoxical: superhuman fluency meets absurd failures in common sense and consistency. This paper argues that the resulting potent frustration is …
Butson matrices are complex Hadamard matrices with entries in the complex roots of unity of given order. There is an interesting code in phase space related to this matrix (Armario et al. 2023). We st…
In redistricting litigation, effective enforcement of the Voting Rights Act has often involved providing the court with districting plans that display a larger number of majority-minority districts th…
Studies have shown that machine learning systems are vulnerable to adversarial examples in theory and practice. Where previous attacks have focused mainly on visual models that exploit the difference …
We contribute an in-depth analysis of the workflows and tensions arising from generative AI (genAI) use in biomedical visualization (BioMedVis). Although genAI affords facile production of aesthetic v…
This paper investigates code LLMs' capability of static analysis during code intelligence tasks such as code summarization and generation. Code LLMs are now household names for their abilities to do s…
