An algorithm for geo-distributed and redundant storage in Garage
Mendes Oulamara, Alex Auvolat
This paper presents an optimal algorithm to compute the assignment of data to storage nodes in the Garage geo-distributed storage system. We discuss the complexity of the different…
: A Rock-Solid Foundation for Epidemic Consensus Algorithms in Very Large, Very Open Networks
Alex Auvolat, Yérom-David Bromberg, Davide Frey +1
Recent works have proposed new Byzantine consensus algorithms for blockchains based on epidemics, a design which enables highly scalable performance at a low cost. These methods ho…
Money Transfer Made Simple: a Specification, a Generic Algorithm, and its Proof
Alex Auvolat, Davide Frey, Michel Raynal +1
It has recently been shown that, contrarily to a common belief, money transfer in the presence of faulty (Byzantine) processes does not require strong agreement such as consensus.…
TorchCraft: a Library for Machine Learning Research on Real-Time Strategy Games
Gabriel Synnaeve, Nantas Nardelli, Alex Auvolat +5
We present TorchCraft, a library that enables deep learning research on Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games such as StarCraft: Brood War, by making it easier to control these games from…
Diet Networks: Thin Parameters for Fat Genomics
Adriana Romero, Pierre Luc Carrier, Akram Erraqabi +7
Learning tasks such as those involving genomic data often poses a serious challenge: the number of input features can be orders of magnitude larger than the number of training exam…
Artificial Neural Networks Applied to Taxi Destination Prediction
Alexandre de Brébisson, Étienne Simon, Alex Auvolat +2
We describe our first-place solution to the ECML/PKDD discovery challenge on taxi destination prediction. The task consisted in predicting the destination of a taxi based on the be…
Clustering is Efficient for Approximate Maximum Inner Product Search
Alex Auvolat, Sarath Chandar, Pascal Vincent +2
Efficient Maximum Inner Product Search (MIPS) is an important task that has a wide applicability in recommendation systems and classification with a large number of classes. Soluti…
