Filenames are a concise means of conveying information about source code to fellow developers. One such convention is util. Commonly understood to stand for "utility", filenames with the letters util …
Multivector retrieval models achieve state-of-the-art effectiveness through fine-grained token-level representations, but their deployment incurs substantial computational and memory costs. Current so…
Relational database management systems (RDBMSes) can process general-purpose queries, but often have lower performance compared to custom-built solutions for specific queries. For example, consider a …
Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are a promising paradigm for energy-efficient event-driven computation, but large-scale SNN execution remains challenging because sparse spike communication and synchron…
Responsible AI research typically focuses on examining the use and impacts of deployed AI systems. Yet, there is currently limited visibility into the pre-deployment decisions to pursue building such …
Modern large multicore systems often run multiple workloads that share CPUs under schedulers such as Linux CFS. To keep CPUs busy, these schedulers load-balance runnable work, causing each workload to…
Critical news reading (CNR), which requires grasping the holistic ideas of and raising critical thoughts on the news, is beneficial yet challenging for general people who usually get information on da…
The volume of scientific manuscripts is growing faster than the capacity to evaluate them, yet the institutions that govern peer review have remained largely unchanged. The result is a widening mismat…
Decompositional jailbreaks pose a critical threat to large language models (LLMs) by allowing adversaries to fragment a malicious objective into a sequence of individually benign queries that collecti…
System auditing on Android faces two problems. First, existing syscall tracers lose events under load, silently overwriting entries faster than a user space reader can drain them. Second, security-rel…
We study when a sound arithmetic theory $\mathcal S{\supseteq}S^1_2$ with polynomial-time decidable axioms efficiently proves the bounded consistency statements $Con_{\mathcal S{+}\phi}(n)$ for a true…
Open-source projects often rely on a small group of highly active contributors known as hero developers. Prior work shows that hero developers are common in many OSS and enterprise projects, yet who q…
Most service providers, such as Google, save logs from data generated by users while using the service. Many service providers provide users with privacy controls to manage whether, how, and for how l…
Due to regulatory compliance and governance management, modern (permissioned) blockchains require flexible endorsement, which allows the endorsement policy for each contract or state object to be indi…
Machine learning (ML)-based API recommendation helps developers efficiently identify suitable APIs to complement the application code. However, code datasets used to train ML models often exhibit a lo…
We present BAss (BDD-based ADF symbolic solver), a novel analysis tool for Abstract Dialectical Frameworks (ADFs) based on Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs). It supports the fully symbolic computation o…
Large Language Models (LLMs) are now widely used for query reformulation and expansion in Information Retrieval, with many studies reporting substantial effectiveness gains. However, these results are…
Pretrial risk assessment tools are used on over one million U.S. defendants each year, yet their use for predicting rare violent re-offense faces a basic statistical barrier. We derive a universal pre…
Data discovery - retrieving relevant tables from a data lake in response to user queries - is a fundamental building block for downstream analytics. In practice, data discovery must support different …
We study fair allocation of indivisible goods among strategic agents with additive valuations. Motivated by impossibility results for deterministic truthful mechanisms, we focus on randomized mechanis…
