From Linear Exact Repair to Mixed-Alphabet Codes: The Bandwidth-Subpacketization Tradeoff of MDS Array Codes

Zihao Zhang, Guodong Li, Sihuang Hu

MDS array codes achieve optimal storage efficiency in distributed storage systems, but their repair bandwidth depends critically on the sub-packetization level. While the theoretic…

ASM-6D: Fast Certified Pose-Shape Inference with Complete Correspondence Flow Maps

Ho Jin Choi, Minku Kim, Nadia Figueroa

Category-level 6D pose and shape estimation requires recovering an object's pose and geometry from partial observations without an exact instance model. We present ASM-6D, which co…
