The Boundaries of Automation: A Theory of Persistent Human Participation
Fares Fourati, Hinrich Schütze, Eyke Hüllermeier +1
The rapid progress of AI has intensified the long-standing pursuit of automation: replacing human participation with algorithms wherever possible. Implicit in this pursuit is the a…
Signal from Space: Detecting Schools and Towers to Bridge the Digital Divide
Zakarya Elmimouni, Sandor Farkas, Fares Fourati +3
Reliable internet access is essential for modern education, yet millions of school-aged children especially in developing regions remain offline due to unconnected schools. The Gig…
Label-Efficient School Detection from Aerial Imagery via Weakly Supervised Pretraining and Fine-Tuning
Zakarya Elmimouni, Fares Fourati, Mohamed-Slim Alouini
Accurate school detection is essential for supporting education initiatives, including infrastructure planning and expanding internet connectivity to underserved areas. However, ma…
A Coherence-Based Measure of AGI
Fares Fourati
Recent approaches to evaluating Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) typically summarize a system's capability using the arithmetic mean of its proficiencies across multiple cogni…
ECPv2: Fast, Efficient, and Scalable Global Optimization of Lipschitz Functions
Fares Fourati, Mohamed-Slim Alouini, Vaneet Aggarwal
We propose ECPv2, a scalable and theoretically grounded algorithm for global optimization of Lipschitz-continuous functions with unknown Lipschitz constants. Building on the Every…
Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Reliable Interpretation of Radio Regulations
Zakaria El Kassimi, Fares Fourati, Mohamed-Slim Alouini
We study question answering in the domain of radio regulations, a legally sensitive and high-stakes area. We propose a telecom-specific Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelin…
