I hope we don't do to trust what advertising has done to love

Jade Alglave · 2026

Advertising uses love to sell stuff, like nylons. It also uses the word "love" in trivialising ways -- do you "love" your oven? When I hear about trust in the context of AI, especially agentic, I hope…

Tailwind: A Practical Framework for Query Accelerators

Geoffrey X. Yu, Ryan Marcus, Tim Kraska · 2026

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 …

On the Principal Minor Expansion and Complexity of the Symmetrized Determinant

Sanyam Agarwal, Markus Blaser, Mridul Gupta · 2026

Barvinok introduced the symmetrized determinant ($\sdet$) as a \emph{non-commutative} analogue of the determinant. Intuitively, given a square matrix over an associative algebra, we can obtain the sym…

Distributed Santa Claus via Global Rounding

Tijn de Vos, Leo Wennmann, Malte Baumecker, Yannic Maus, Florian Schager · 2026

In this paper, we consider the Santa Claus problem in the CONGEST model. This NP-hard problem can be modeled as a bipartite graph of children and gifts where an edge indicates that a child desires a g…

Affinity Tailor: Dynamic Locality-Aware Scheduling at Scale

Jin Xin Ng, Ori Livneh, Richard O'Grady, Josh Don, Peng Ding, Samuel Grossman, Luis Otero, Chris Kennelly, David Lo, Carlos Villavieja · 2026

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…

D-Rex : Diffusion Rendering for Relightable Expressive Avatars

Timo Teufel, Xilong Zhou, Umar Iqbal, Jan Kautz, Marc Habermann, Vladislav Golyanik, Christian Theobalt · 2026

We present D-Rex, a person-specific framework for photorealistic, relightable, expressive, and animatable full-body human avatars with free-viewpoint rendering. Existing methods for relightable full-b…

Temporal Routing in Static Networks: The Schedule Completion Problem

Michelle Doring, Niklas Mohrin, George Skretas · 2026

We introduce the TemporallyEdgeDisjointScheduleCompletion (TEDSC) problem in which we need to cover a set of temporal edge demands $D$ by routing $k$ temporal walks through a directed static graph whi…

Average-Tree Phylogenetic Diversity Parameterized by Scanwidth and Invisibility

Leo van Iersel, Mark Jones, Jannik Schestag, Celine Scornavacca, Mathias Weller · 2026

We investigate parameterized algorithms for computing the average-tree phylogenetic diversity (APD) in rooted phylogenetic networks, studying the problem under different structural parameters that cap…

Strongly Refuting Random CSP without Literals

Siu On Chan, Tommaso d'Orsi, Jeff Xu · 2026

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…

Predicting Upcoming Stuttering Events from Three-Second Audio: Stratified Evaluation Reveals Severity-Selective Precursors, and the Model Deploys Fully On-Device

Nazar Kozak · 2026

Audio-based stuttering systems to date have been trained for detection -- what disfluency is present now -- leaving prediction, the capability needed for closed-loop intervention, unstudied at deploya…

Fisher Markets with Approximately Optimal Bundles and the Need for a PCP Theorem for PPAD

Argyrios Deligkas, John Fearnley, Alexandros Hollender, Themistoklis Melissourgos · 2026

We study the problem of computing a competitive equilibrium with approximately optimal bundles in Fisher markets with separable piecewise-linear concave (SPLC) utility functions, meaning that every bu…

Few-Shot Accent Synthesis for ASR with LLM-Guided Phoneme Editing

Yurii Halychanskyi, Nimet Beyza Bozdag, Mark Hasegawa-Johnson, Dilek Hakkani-Tur, Volodymyr Kindratenko · 2026

Accented automatic speech recognition (ASR) often degrades due to the limited availability of accented training data. Prior work has explored accent modeling in low-resource settings, but existing app…

Hypencoder Revisited: Reproducibility and Analysis of Non-Linear Scoring for First-Stage Retrieval

Arne Eichholtz, Yongkang Li, Jutte Vijverberg, Tobias Groot, Mohammad Aliannejadi · 2026

The Hypencoder, proposed by Killingback et al., is a retrieval framework that replaces the fixed inner-product scoring function used in standard bi-encoders with a query-specific neural network (the $…

Reproducible Automated Program Repair Is Hard -- Experiences With the Defects4J Dataset

Adam Krafczyk, Klaus Schmid · 2026

In the research of automated program repair (APR), benchmark datasets consisting of known defects in combination with test suites that indicate the defects are of high importance. They allow for an ev…

Finite-Horizon First-Order Rank Profiles of Regular Languages

Madina Bazarova, Faruk Alpay · 2026

We introduce the finite-horizon first-order rank profile of a language $L \subseteq \Sigma^*$: the least quantifier rank needed by an $\mathrm{FO}[<]$ sentence to classify membership in $L$ correctly …

Small Independent Sets versus Small Separator in Geometric Intersection Graphs

Malory Marin, Remi Watrigant · 2026

While most classical NP-hard graph problems cannot be solved in time $2^{o(n)}$ on general graphs under the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH), many exhibit the square-root phenomenon and admit optimal…
