Searching for Strong Gravitational Lenses

Frédéric Courbin, Cameron Alexander Campbell Lemon

Strong gravitational lenses provide unique laboratories for cosmological and astrophysical investigations, but they must first be discovered - a task that can be met with significant contamination by other astrophysical objects and asterisms. Here we revie ...

WEBGRAPH: Capturing Advertising and Tracking Information Flows for Robust Blocking

Carmela González Troncoso, Sandra Deepthy Siby

Users rely on ad and tracker blocking tools to protect their privacy. Unfortunately, existing ad and tracker blocking tools are susceptible to mutable advertising and tracking content. In this paper, we first demonstrate that a state-of-the-art ad and trac ...

QAIR: Practical Query-efficient Black-Box Attacks for Image Retrieval

Shaokai Ye, Yuan He, Hang Su, Jinfeng Li

We study the query-based attack against image retrieval to evaluate its robustness against adversarial examples under the black-box setting, where the adversary only has query access to the top-1 ranked unlabeled images from the database. Compared with que ...

An Improved Analysis of Local Search for Max-Sum Diversification

Friedrich Eisenbrand, Rico Zenklusen, Alfonso Bolívar Cevallos Manzano

We present new techniques to analyze natural local search algorithms for several variants of the max-sum diversification problem which, in its most basic form, is as follows: given an n-point set X subset of R-d and an integer k, select k points in X so th ...

PerfIso: Performance Isolation for Commercial Latency-Sensitive Services

Sameh Mohamed Elnikety, Calin Iorgulescu

Large commercial latency-sensitive services, such as web search, run on dedicated clusters provisioned for peak load to ensure responsiveness and tolerate data center outages. As a result, the average load is far lower than the peak load used for provision ...
