Watermarking Discrete Diffusion Language Models
Avi Bagchi, Akhil Bhimaraju, Moulik Choraria +2
Watermarking has emerged as a promising technique to track AI-generated content and differentiate it from authentic human creations. While prior work extensively studies watermarki…
Skip-It? Theoretical Conditions for Layer Skipping in Vision-Language Models
Max Hartman, Vidhata Jayaraman, Moulik Choraria +2
Vision-language models achieve incredible performance across a wide range of tasks, but their large size makes inference costly. Recent work has shown that multimodal processing co…
DeepInsert: Early Layer Bypass for Efficient and Performant Multimodal Understanding
Moulik Choraria, Xinbo Wu, Akhil Bhimaraju +5
Hyperscaling of data and parameter count in LLMs is yielding diminishing improvement when weighed against training costs, underlining a growing need for more efficient finetuning a…
Fractional Budget Allocation for Influence Maximization under General Marketing Strategies
Akhil Bhimaraju, Eliot W. Robson, Lav R. Varshney +1
We consider the fractional influence maximization problem, i.e., identifying users on a social network to be incentivized with potentially partial discounts to maximize the influen…
Dynamic Resource Allocation to Minimize Concave Costs of Shortfalls
Akhil Bhimaraju, Avhishek Chatterjee, Lav R. Varshney
We study a resource allocation problem over time, where a finite (random) resource needs to be distributed among a set of users at each time instant. Shortfalls in the resource all…
Dynamic Batching of Online Arrivals to Leverage Economies of Scale
Akhil Bhimaraju, S. Rasoul Etesami, Lav R. Varshney
Many settings, such as matching riders to drivers in ride-hailing platforms or in-stream video advertising, require handling arrivals over time. In such applications, it is often b…
Multi-channel Resource Allocation for Smooth Streaming: Non-convexity and Bandits
Akhil Bhimaraju, Atul A. Zacharias, Avhishek Chatterjee
User dissatisfaction due to buffering pauses during streaming is a significant cost to the system, which we model as a non-decreasing function of the frequency of buffering pause.…
Expected Extinction Times of Epidemics with State-Dependent Infectiousness
Akhil Bhimaraju, Avhishek Chatterjee, Lav R. Varshney
We model an epidemic where the per-person infectiousness in a network of geographic localities changes with the total number of active cases. This would happen as people adopt more…
Non-clairvoyant Scheduling of Coflows
Akhil Bhimaraju, Debanuj Nayak, Rahul Vaze
The coflow scheduling problem is considered: given an input/output switch with each port having a fixed capacity, find a scheduling algorithm that minimizes the weighted sum of the…
