Early work established polynomial-time algorithms for finding the densest subgraph, followed by explorations of size-constrained variants and extensions to multiple graph snapshots. Researchers have also investigated overlapping dense subgraphs and alternative density measures. Various algorithmic approaches, including greedy and iterative methods, have been developed to address these challenges. The paper builds on this foundation by…
In AI, developing language models that can efficiently and accurately perform diverse tasks while ensuring user privacy and ethical considerations is a significant challenge. These models must handle various data types and applications without compromising performance or security. Ensuring that these models operate within ethical frameworks and maintain user trust adds another layer of complexity…
Meta has introduced SAM 2, the next generation of its Segment Anything Model. Building on the success of its predecessor, SAM 2 is a groundbreaking unified model designed for real-time promptable object segmentation in images and videos. SAM 2 extends the original SAM’s capabilities, primarily focused on images. The new model seamlessly integrates with video…
The Retrieval-Augmented Language Model (RALM) enhances LLMs by integrating external knowledge during inference, which reduces factual inaccuracies. Despite this, RALMs face challenges in reliability and traceability. Noisy retrieval can lead to unhelpful or incorrect responses, and a lack of proper citations complicates verifying the model’s outputs. Efforts to improve retrieval robustness include using natural language…
The problem of a mediator learning to coordinate a group of strategic agents is considered through action recommendations without knowing their underlying utility functions, such as routing drivers through a road network. The challenge lies in the difficulty of manually specifying the quality of these recommendations, making it necessary to provide the mediator with data…
