description: Network utility maximization (NUM) is a well-studied problem for network traffic management and resource allocation. Because of the inherent decentralization and complexity of networks, most researches develop decentralized NUM algorithms. In recent years, the Software Defined Networking (SDN) architecture has been widely used, especially in cloud networks and inter-datacenter networks managed by large enterprises, promoting the design of centralized NUM algorithms. To cope with the large and increasing number of flows in such SDN networks, existing researches about centralized NUM focus on the scalability of the algorithm with respect to the number of flows, however the efficiency is ignored. In this paper, we focus on the SDN scenario, and derive a centralized, efficient and scalable algorithm for the NUM problem. By the designing of a smooth utility function and a smooth penalty function, we formulate the NUM problem with a smooth objective function, which enables the use of Nesterov's accelerated gradient method. We prove that the proposed method has $O(d/t^2)$ convergence rate, which is the fastest with respect to the number of iterations $t$, and our method is scalable with respect to the number of flows $d$ in the network. Experiments show that our method obtains accurate solutions with less iterations, and achieves close-to-optimal network utility.

description: The integration of diverse clinical modalities such as medical imaging and the tabular data extracted from patients' Electronic Health Records (EHRs) is a crucial aspect of modern healthcare. Integrative analysis of multiple sources can provide a comprehensive understanding of the clinical condition of a patient, improving diagnosis and treatment decision. Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) consistently demonstrate outstanding performance in a wide range of multimodal tasks in the medical domain. However, the complex endeavor of effectively merging medical imaging with clinical, demographic and genetic information represented as numerical tabular data remains a highly active and ongoing research pursuit.
 We present a novel framework based on hypernetworks to fuse clinical imaging and tabular data by conditioning the image processing on the EHR's values and measurements. This approach aims to leverage the complementary information present in these modalities to enhance the accuracy of various medical applications. We demonstrate the strength and generality of our method on two different brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) analysis tasks, namely, brain age prediction conditioned by subject's sex and multi-class Alzheimer's Disease (AD) classification conditioned by tabular data. We show that our framework outperforms both single-modality models and state-of-the-art MRI tabular data fusion methods. A link to our code can be found at https://github.com/daniel4725/HyperFusion

description: As anthropomorphic agents (AI and robots) are increasingly used in society, empathy and trust between people and agents are becoming increasingly important. A better understanding of agents by people will help to improve the problems caused by the future use of agents in society. In the past, there has been a focus on the importance of self-disclosure and the relationship between agents and humans in their interactions. In this study, we focused on the attributes of self-disclosure and the relationship between agents and people. An experiment was conducted to investigate hypotheses on trust and empathy with agents through six attributes of self-disclosure (opinions and attitudes, hobbies, work, money, personality, and body) and through competitive and cooperative relationships before a robotic agent performs a joint task. The experiment consisted of two between-participant factors: six levels of self-disclosure attributes and two levels of relationship with the agent. The results showed that the two factors had no effect on trust in the agent, but there was statistical significance for the attribute of self-disclosure regarding a person's empathy toward the agent. In addition, statistical significance was found regarding the agent's ability to empathize with a person as perceived by the person only in the case where the type of relationship, competitive or cooperative, was presented. The results of this study could lead to an effective method for building relationships with agents, which are increasingly used in society.

Notes:— Begonia filiformis is recognized by its rugose ovate leaves, densely glandular-hispid peduncles and flowers with pale green tepals and staminate flowers with an actinomorphic androecium. Begonia filiformis was initially discovered in Lungchow, southern Guangxi. This species has long been suspected to also exist in Vietnam, as existing collections are known from near the Vietnamese border. The specimens referred to in this study were collected within the Vi Xuyen District of Ha Giang Province. There are only two known populations of this species in the area, and neither of them is located within any protected forests (Fig. 1). The Vietnamese population roughly fits morphologically into the type, except that stipules sometimes have an entire margin (vs. shallowly and densely serrate), the tepals are tinged with yellowish-green (vs. pale green to white), and the abaxial wing of capsule is nearly trapezoidal (vs. lunate).

As a member of the Baltimore City Mayor’s Special Commission to Review Baltimore’s Public Confederate Monuments, I encouraged my fellow commissioners to support a recommendation to deaccession the Roger Brooke Taney statue, erected in 1887 to honor the Maryland native who as Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court wrote the Dred Scott decision, which in 1857 denied African Americans with slave ancestors the right to citizenship and the U.S. government the right to regulate slavery in the western territories. The motion carried, along with another I supported to deaccession a twin equestrian statue of Confederate generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall”Jackson, erected in 1948 and located about two miles north of the Taney statue.

description: The torsion pendulum is a prevailing instrument for measuring small forces acting on a solid body or those between solid bodies. While it offers powerful advantages, the measurement precision suffers from thermal noises of the suspending wires giving rise to stochastic torque noises. This paper proposes a new scheme to reduce the effect of such noise by employing a double torsion pendulum and cross-correlation technique based on the theoretical analysis that the thermal torque noise appears at each end of the suspending wire differentially. Cross-correlating two synthesized data streams which are composed of the rotation angles of two torsion stages, it yields the power spectral density estimate of external forces acting on the lower stage with the reduced effect from the thermal torque noises. As an example use case, we discuss the application to the study on the coupling strength of ultra light dark matter to standard model particles. Our evaluation indicates that the upper limit may be improved by an order of magnitude than the previous experiments at 2 mHz, which corresponds to about $8\times10^{-18}$ eV.

description: Human Activity Recognition is a subject of great research today and has its applications in remote healthcare, activity tracking of the elderly or the disables, calories burnt tracking etc. In our project, we have created an Android application that recognizes the daily human activities and calculate the calories burnt in real time. We first captured labeled triaxial acceleration readings for different daily human activities from the smartphone's embedded accelerometer. These readings were preprocessed using a median filter. 42 features were extracted using various methods. We then tested various machine learning algorithms along with dimensionality reduction. Finally, in our Android application, we used the machine learning algorithm and a subset of features that provided maximum accuracy and minimum model building time. This is used for real-time activity recognition and calculation of calories burnt using a formula based on Metabolic Equivalent.

description: Despising lawyers has been popular for centuries, and knowing when to take it seriously is often difficult. Since the 1640s in England, vicious attacks on lawyers and the common law have occasionally accompanied reform movements. Are these outbursts evidence of a long-term tradition of radical hostility towards the legal establishment? Or do they point to a tradition of political posturing with little real substance?

With respect to early America, some very good historians have come to differing conclusions on these questions. Maxwell Bloomfield suggests that, while radical in tone, the attack on lawyers was rooted in essentially middle-class values and was not seriously connected to an ideology of social leveling or egalitarianism. He nevertheless demonstrates elegantly that the anti-lawyer sentiment of the Jacksonian period was part of a longer-term and culturally pervasive pattern. Richard Ellis's work, in partial contrast, documents radical attacks on the legal establishment during the Jeffersonian years, notably in Kentucky, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. Other legal historians have often stressed that fundamentally different conceptions of law, lawyers, judges, juries, and courts shaped the legal politics of Americans in the post-revolutionary years.

description: In this paper, we investigate the effect of signal delay in communicated information in connected and autonomous vehicles. In particular, we relate this delay's effect on the selection of the time headway in predecessor-follower type vehicle platooning with a constant time headway policy (CTHP). We employ a CTHP control law for each vehicle in the platoon by considering two cases: cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) strategy where information from only one predecessor vehicle is employed and CACC+ where information from multiple predecessor vehicles is employed. We investigate how the lower bound on the time headway is affected by signal transmission delay due to wireless communication. We provide a systematic approach to the derivation of the lower bound of the time headway and selection of the appropriate CTHP controller gains for predecessor acceleration, velocity error and spacing error which will ensure robust string stability of the platoon under the presence of signal delay. We corroborate the main result with numerical simulations.

description: Score-based generative models have emerged as a powerful approach for sampling high-dimensional probability distributions. Despite their effectiveness, their theoretical underpinnings remain relatively underdeveloped. In this work, we study the convergence properties of deterministic samplers based on probability flow ODEs from both theoretical and numerical perspectives. Assuming access to $L^2$-accurate estimates of the score function, we prove the total variation between the target and the generated data distributions can be bounded above by $\mathcal{O}(d^{3/4}δ^{1/2})$ in the continuous time level, where $d$ denotes the data dimension and $δ$ represents the $L^2$-score matching error. For practical implementations using a $p$-th order Runge-Kutta integrator with step size $h$, we establish error bounds of $\mathcal{O}(d^{3/4}δ^{1/2} + d\cdot(dh)^p)$ at the discrete level. Finally, we present numerical studies on problems up to 128 dimensions to verify our theory.

description: The large amount of data recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider, corresponding to 140 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV, has brought our knowledge of the top quark to a higher level. The measurement of the top-antitop quark pair-production cross-section has reached a precision of 1.8$\% $ and the cross-section was measured differentially up to several TeV in multiple observables including the top-quark transverse momentum and top-quark-pair invariant mass. Single-top-quark production was studied in all production modes. Rare production processes where the top quark is associated with a vector boson, and four-top-quark production, have become accessible and cross-section measurements for several of these processes have reached uncertainties of around 10$\% $ or smaller. Innovative measurements of the top-quark mass and properties have also emerged, including the observation of quantum entanglement in the top-quark sector and tests of lepton-flavour universality using top-quark decays. Searches for flavour-changing neutral currents in the top-quark sector have been significantly improved, reaching branching-ratio exclusion limits ranging from $10^{-3}$ to $10^{-5}$. Many of these analyses have been used to set limits on Wilson coefficients within the effective field theory framework.

description: Hypertension, a leading contributor to cardiovascular morbidity, underscores the need for accurate and continuous blood pressure (BP) monitoring. Photoplethysmography (PPG) presents a promising approach to this end. However, the precision of BP estimates derived from PPG signals has been the subject of ongoing debate, necessitating a comprehensive evaluation of their effectiveness and constraints. We developed a calibration-based Siamese ResNet model for BP estimation, using a signal input paired with a reference BP reading. We compared the use of normalized PPG (N-PPG) against the normalized Invasive Arterial Blood Pressure (N-IABP) signals as input. The N-IABP signals do not directly present systolic and diastolic values but theoretically provide a more accurate BP measure than PPG signals since it is a direct pressure sensor inside the body. Our strategy establishes a critical benchmark for PPG performance, realistically calibrating expectations for PPG's BP estimation capabilities. Nonetheless, we compared the performance of our models using different signal-filtering conditions to evaluate the impact of filtering on the results. We evaluated our method using the AAMI and the BHS standards employing the VitalDB dataset. The N-IABP signals meet with AAMI standards for both Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) and Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP), with errors of 1.29+-6.33mmHg for systolic pressure and 1.17+-5.78mmHg for systolic and diastolic pressure respectively for the raw N-IABP signal. In contrast, N-PPG signals, in their best setup, exhibited inferior performance than N-IABP, presenting 1.49+-11.82mmHg and 0.89+-7.27mmHg for systolic and diastolic pressure respectively. Our findings highlight the potential and limitations of employing PPG for BP estimation, showing that these signals contain information correlated to BP but may not be sufficient for predicting it accurately.

description: For nearly 90 years, precession and relaxation processes have been thought to dominate magnetization dynamics. Only recently has it been considered that, on short time scales, an inertia-driven magnetization dynamics should become relevant, leading to additional nutation of the magnetization vector. Here, we trigger magnetic nutation via a sudden excitation of a thin Ni80Fe20 (Permalloy) film with an ultrashort optical pulse, that leads to an abrupt tilting of the effective field acting on the magnetic moments, separating the dynamics of the magnetization from that of its angular momentum. We investigate the resulting magnetization dynamics in the inertial regime experimentally by the time-resolved magneto optical Kerr effect. We find a characteristic oscillation in the Kerr signal in the range of about 0.1 THz superimposed on the precessional oscillations with GHz frequencies. By comparison with atomistic spin dynamics simulations, we demonstrate that this observation cannot be explained by the well-known Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation of motion but can be attributed to inertial contributions leading to nutation of the magnetization vector around its angular momentum. Hence, an optical and non-resonant excitation of inertial magnetization dynamics can trigger and control different magnetic processes, ranging from demagnetization via nutation to precession in a single device. These findings will have profound implications for the understanding of ultrafast spin dynamics and magnetization switching.

description: Security games model strategic interactions in adversarial real-world applications. Such applications often involve extremely large but highly structured strategy sets (e.g., selecting a distribution over all patrol routes in a given graph). In this paper, we represent each player's strategy space using a layered graph whose paths represent an exponentially large strategy space. Our formulation entails not only classic pursuit-evasion games, but also other security games, such as those modeling anti-terrorism and logistical interdiction. We study two-player zero-sum games under two distinct utility models: linear and binary utilities. We show that under linear utilities, Nash equilibrium can be computed in polynomial time, while binary utilities may lead to situations where even computing a best-response is computationally intractable. To this end, we propose a practical algorithm based on incremental strategy generation and mixed integer linear programs. We show through extensive experiments that our algorithm efficiently computes $ε$-equilibrium for many games of interest. We find that target values and graph structure often have a larger influence on running times as compared to the size of the graph per se.

description: Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $M_n(R)$ be the ring of $n \times n$ matrices with entries from $R$. For each $S \subseteq M_n(R)$, we consider its (generalized) null ideal $N(S)$, which is the set of all polynomials $f$ with coefficients from $M_n(R)$ with the property that $f(A) = 0$ for all $A \in S$. The set $S$ is said to be core if $N(S)$ is a two-sided ideal of $M_n(R)[x]$. It is not known how common core sets are among all subsets of $M_n(R)$. We study this problem for $2 \times 2$ matrices over $\mathbb{F}_q$, where $\mathbb{F}_q$ is the finite field with $q$ elements. We provide exact counts for the number of core subsets of each similarity class of $M_2(\mathbb{F}_q)$. While not every subset of $M_2(\mathbb{F}_q)$ is core, we prove that as $q \to \infty$, the probability that a subset of $M_2(\mathbb{F}_q)$ is core approaches 1. Thus, asymptotically in~$q$, almost all subsets of $M_2(\mathbb{F}_q)$ are core.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit hat die Rolle der Ärzteschaft sowie des Pflegepersonals unter dem Nationalsozialismus zum Gegenstand. Es soll zum einen aufgezeigt werden, welche Handlungsspielräume die betreffenden Personen hatten, und zum anderen, welche Handlungen sie auch tatsächlich setzten. Es hat sich bei meinen Untersuchungen ein Verhaltensspektrum herauskristallisiert, das von totaler Unterstützung bis zu absoluter Verweigerung reichte; die jeweiligen Motive standen im Vordergrund. Als Einführung in die Thematik der Unterstützung bzw. Verweigerung liefert die Arbeit eine Darstellung über die Entwicklung des Widerstandsbegriffs und seiner Diversifikationen ab dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges. Um die Mentalitäten der Medizin, die damals herrschten, zu veranschaulichen, folgt ein historischer Abriss über den Sozialdarwinismus, die Rassenhygiene und deren Ausformungen, die die ideologischen Grundlagen der nationalsozialistischen Politik boten. Anhand der verschiedenen Tätigkeitsbereiche der Ärzte und sonstigem Pflegepersonal wird unter anderem deutlich gemacht, wie sehr diese mit der nationalsozialistischen Vernichtungspolitik verstrickt waren. Ärzte waren nicht nur an der Planung, sondern auch an der Ausführung der Ermordung „lebensunwerten“ sowie aus rassischen oder sonstigen Gründen unerwünschten Lebens beteiligt. Die Krankenschwestern und PflegerInnen zeigten sich dabei in der Mehrzahl als willfährige Helfer. Es gab allerdings auch Menschen, die sich nicht von der nationalsozialistischen Doktrin infiltrieren ließen und sich weigerten, zu Handlangern der Vernichtung zu werden. Diese sollen hier hervorgehoben werden. Es werden auch Beispiele von Ärzten, aber auch einem Pfleger angeführt, die durch ihre Tätigkeit anderen halfen, sich ganz oder teilweise der Wehrmacht zu entziehen. Manche unterstützten das System partiell, indem sie zwar direkt nichts mit der Tötung eines Menschen zu tun haben wollten, aber dennoch nichts dagegen taten, dass die Opfer ihrem endgültigen Schicksal ausgeliefert wurden. Anderen schien es eine besondere Befriedigung zu bereiten, Menschen, weil sie „unnütze Esser“ waren, persönlich ins Jenseits zu befördern. In dieser Arbeit werden vor allem Beispiele von aus Österreich stammenden Ärzten, Krankenschwestern oder Pflegern angeführt, die sowohl im Gebiet der damaligen Ostmark als auch im restlichen Gebiet des ehemals Großdeutschen Reiches tätig waren.

description: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) for language models significantly improves language understanding systems. The basic retrieval-then-read pipeline of response generation has evolved into a more extended process due to the integration of various components, sometimes even forming loop structures. Despite its advancements in improving response accuracy, challenges like poor retrieval quality for complex questions that require the search of multifaceted semantic information, inefficiencies in knowledge re-retrieval during long-term serving, and lack of personalized responses persist. Motivated by transcending these limitations, we introduce ERAGent, a cutting-edge framework that embodies an advancement in the RAG area. Our contribution is the introduction of the synergistically operated module: Enhanced Question Rewriter and Knowledge Filter, for better retrieval quality. Retrieval Trigger is incorporated to curtail extraneous external knowledge retrieval without sacrificing response quality. ERAGent also personalizes responses by incorporating a learned user profile. The efficiency and personalization characteristics of ERAGent are supported by the Experiential Learner module which makes the AI assistant being capable of expanding its knowledge and modeling user profile incrementally. Rigorous evaluations across six datasets and three question-answering tasks prove ERAGent's superior accuracy, efficiency, and personalization, emphasizing its potential to advance the RAG field and its applicability in practical systems.

description: Medievalism, which encompasses a range of cultural practices and discourses that engage with the ways in which the medieval has been represented in post-medieval societies, has increasingly become a focus of academic endeavour within the broader field of medieval studies. As a more recently emerging field, medievalism studies has already amassed a rich tradition which has created the foundations of an influential field of research that intersects with, but diverges from, the traditions of medieval studies. This divergence includes a focus on previously neglected areas of study, those 'made medievalisms', which include popular cinematic texts and which inform serious, original, and illuminating studies into medievalism. 
The primary interest in this study is to identify and explore how accepted understandings of medievalism and ideas about surveillance intersect in films and television programs representing the medieval outlaw Robin Hood. Robin Hood, a figure whose post-medieval afterlife is more firmly established than his medieval existence, epitomises the multi-temporal nature of medievalism and is an exemplary figure in which the past and present are both visible. This thesis will examine the intersection of medievalism, technologies of storytelling that are inherently spectatorial, the politics and culture of surveillance, and how Robin Hood the 'medieval outlaw' is fundamental to the illumination and understanding of these intersections. 
Robin Hood has been part of the English cultural landscape for over six centuries. He brings the medieval period into engagement with the postmedieval, starting as a yeoman outlaw in the earliest surviving texts and evolving into a dispossessed nobleman in more contemporary retellings. The romantic and nostalgic Robin Hood that first appeared on the silver screen in 1908 began the spectatorial afterlife of this legend, and he has since been the subject of a motion picture at least once a decade. As technologies evolved, Robin Hood has also been the star of a network television series at least once a decade since 1950s. 
The medievalist resonances of this hero integrate transnational and transtemporal realities into our contemporary experience, such that these medievalist narratives on Robin Hood can disclose more about contemporary society and experience than they do about medieval England. As time and temporality are crucial categories for thinking about the medieval past and the uses we make of that past in post-medieval contemporary culture, popular medieval ism forms an important transtemporal framework, where there is a co-existence of the past and present, for the discussion of contemporary anxieties.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit geht der Frage nach, ob und inwieweit in den 1930er Jahren zeitgenössische Ereignisse, wie etwa die Große Depression und aktuelle Diskurse, in den Filmen zum Thema gemacht werden. Im ersten Teil dieser Arbeit wird die politische, wirtschaftliche und gesellschaftliche Situation im Amerika der 1920er und 1930er Jahre besprochen, um ein besseres Verständnis von der damaligen Zeit zu bekommen. Es ist erstaunlich, wie viel sich in den „Roaring Twenties“ im Leben des Amerikaners verändert hat. Dabei ist eine große Kluft zwischen Stadt und Land entstanden. Modernität verdrängte die Tradition und dies rief einen langen Diskurs über das Pro und Contra dieser beiden Lebensweisen hervor. In einem zweiten Teil wird anhand der Genres Gangsterfilm, Musical und Screwball Comedy gezeigt, wie diese Situation die Filme jener Zeit beeinflusst hat. Es handelt sich dabei um einen kleinen Teil der Hollywoodproduktion, welche aktuelle Ereignisse in die Filme eingebunden hat. Nichtsdestotrotz gab es sie und das Publikum von damals schien diese Filme zu lieben. Es wird auch gezeigt, dass die vorherrschende Annahme, dass Menschen ins Kino gehen, um ihrem Alltag zu entfliehen und sich in eskapistische Unterhaltung flüchten, so nicht stehen gelassen werden kann. Vielmehr war es die Mischung aus eskapistischer Unterhaltung und kritischen Themen, welche das Publikum begeisterte.

description: The $Λ(1405)$ has been one of the most controversial exotic baryons. If the $Λ(1405)$ possesses a two-pole molecular structure, these poles are expected to evolve differently towards the SU(3) limit. From an analysis of a recent LQCD simulation on the $πΣ-\bar{K}N$ scattering for $I=0$ and the study of the quark mass dependence of the octet baryon masses, we determine for the first time the trajectories of these poles towards the symmetric point over the $\mathrm{Tr}[M]=C$ trajectory accurately. At $m_π\simeq 200$ MeV, our results are consistent with the lattice simulations, and the extrapolations to the physical point, based on the NLO chiral Lagrangians, agree well with existing experimental analyses. We predict qualitatively similar trajectories at LO and up to NLO, consistent with the LO interaction's dominance. At the SU(3) symmetric point of this trajectory, both poles are on the physical sheet, and the lower pole is located at $E^{(1)}=1573(6)(6)$ MeV, becoming a SU(3) singlet, while the higher pole at $E^{(8a)}=1589(7)(5)$ MeV couples to the octet representation. Moreover, we make predictions in $I=1$ for the $Σ^*$ resonance. We find a resonance pole that evolves into a bound state around $m_π=415$ MeV in this sector. The results presented here are crucial to shed light on the molecular nature of exotic strange baryon resonances and can be tested in future LQCD simulations.

description: Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQAs) have emerged as pivotal strategies for attaining quantum advantage in diverse scientific and technological domains, notably within Quantum Neural Networks. However, despite their potential, VQAs encounter significant obstacles, chief among them being the vanishing gradient problem, commonly referred to as barren plateaus. In this article, through meticulous analysis, we demonstrate that existing literature implicitly suggests the intrinsic influence of qudit dimensionality on barren plateaus. To instantiate these findings, we present numerical results that exemplify the impact of qudit dimensionality on barren plateaus. Therefore, despite the proposition of various error mitigation techniques, our results call for further scrutiny about their efficacy in the context of VQAs with qudits.

description: Let $(τ, V_τ)$ be a finite dimensional representation of a maximal compact subgroup $K$ of a connected non-compact semisimple Lie group $G$, and let $Γ$ be a uniform torsion-free lattice in $G$. We obtain an infinitesimal version of the celebrated Matsushima-Murakami formula, which relates the dimension of the space of automorphic forms associated to $τ$ and multiplicities of irreducible $τ^\vee$-spherical spectra in $L^2(Γ\backslash G)$. This result gives a promising tool to study the joint spectra of all central operators on the homogenous bundle associated to the locally symmetric space and hence its infinitesimal $τ$-isospectrality. Along with this we prove that the almost equality of $τ$-spherical spectra of two lattices assures the equality of their $τ$-spherical spectra.

description: The potential harms of algorithmic decisions have ignited algorithmic fairness as a central topic in computer science. One of the fundamental problems in computer science is Set Cover, which has numerous applications with societal impacts, such as assembling a small team of individuals that collectively satisfy a range of expertise requirements. However, despite its broad application spectrum and significant potential impact, set cover has yet to be studied through the lens of fairness. Therefore, in this paper, we introduce Fair Set Cover, which aims not only to cover with a minimum-size set but also to satisfy demographic parity in its selection of sets. To this end, we develop multiple versions of fair set cover, study their hardness, and devise efficient approximation algorithms for each variant. Notably, under certain assumptions, our algorithms always guarantee zero-unfairness, with only a small increase in the approximation ratio compared to regular set cover. Furthermore, our experiments on various data sets and across different settings confirm the negligible price of fairness, as (a) the output size increases only slightly (if any) and (b) the time to compute the output does not significantly increase.

description: Transformers have revolutionized various domains of artificial intelligence due to their unique ability to model long-range dependencies in data. However, they lack in nuanced, context-dependent modulation of features and information flow. This paper introduces two significant enhancements to the transformer architecture - the Evaluator Adjuster Unit (EAU) and Gated Residual Connections (GRC) - designed to address these limitations. The EAU dynamically modulates attention outputs based on the relevance of the input context, allowing for more adaptive response patterns. Concurrently, the GRC modifies the transformer's residual connections through a gating mechanism that selectively controls the information flow, thereby enhancing the network's ability to focus on contextually important features. We evaluate the performance of these enhancements across several benchmarks in natural language processing. Our results demonstrate improved adaptability and efficiency, suggesting that these modifications could set new standards for designing flexible and context-aware transformer models.
