RelJoin: Relative-cost-based Selection of Distributed Join Methods for Query Plan Optimization
F. Liang, F. C. M. Lau, H. Cui +4
Selecting appropriate distributed join methods for logical join operations in a query plan is crucial for the performance of data-intensive scalable computing (DISC). Different net…
Joint Design of Source-Channel Codes with Linear Source Encoding Complexity and Good Channel Thresholds Based on Double-Protograph LDPC Codes
Jia Zhan, Francis C. M. Lau
We propose the use of a lower or upper triangular sub-base matrix to replace the identity matrix in the source-check-channel-variable linking protomatrix of a double-protograph low…
A Survey of Machine Learning-Based Ride-Hailing Planning
Dacheng Wen, Yupeng Li, Francis C. M. Lau
Ride-hailing is a sustainable transportation paradigm where riders access door-to-door traveling services through a mobile phone application, which has attracted a colossal amount…
Improved Target-specific Stance Detection on Social Media Platforms by Delving into Conversation Threads
Yupeng Li, Haorui He, Shaonan Wang +2
Target-specific stance detection on social media, which aims at classifying a textual data instance such as a post or a comment into a stance class of a target issue, has become an…
Exploiting Temporal Side Information in Massive IoT Connectivity
Qipeng Wang, Liang Liu, Shuowen Zhang +1
This paper considers the joint device activity detection and channel estimation problem in a massive Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity system, where a large number of IoT devic…
One model Packs Thousands of Items with Recurrent Conditional Query Learning
Dongda Li, Zhaoquan Gu, Yuexuan Wang +2
Recent studies have revealed that neural combinatorial optimization (NCO) has advantages over conventional algorithms in many combinatorial optimization problems such as routing, b…
On Massive IoT Connectivity with Temporally-Correlated User Activity
Qipeng Wang, Liang Liu, Shuowen Zhang +1
This paper considers joint device activity detection and channel estimation in Internet of Things (IoT) networks, where a large number of IoT devices exist but merely a random subs…
Online Distributed Job Dispatching with Outdated and Partially-Observable Information
Yuncong Hong, Bojie Lv, Rui Wang +4
In this paper, we investigate online distributed job dispatching in an edge computing system residing in a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN). Specifically, job dispatchers are implem…
Automatic Music Accompanist
Anyi Rao, Francis Lau
Automatic musical accompaniment is where a human musician is accompanied by a computer musician. The computer musician is able to produce musical accompaniment that relates musical…
A Truthful -Optimal Mechanism for On-demand Cloud Resource Provisioning
Xiaoxi Zhang, Chuan Wu, Zongpeng Li +1
On-demand resource provisioning in cloud computing provides tailor-made resource packages (typically in the form of VMs) to meet users' demands. Public clouds nowadays provide more…
Online Influence Maximization in Non-Stationary Social Networks
Yixin Bao, Xiaoke Wang, Zhi Wang +2
