Efficient Mining of Low-Utility Sequential Patterns
Discovering valuable insights from rich data is a crucial task for exploratory data analysis. Sequential pattern mining (SPM) has found widespread applications across various domains. In recent years, low-utility sequential pattern mining (LUSPM) has shown strong potential in applications such as intrusion detection and genomic sequence analysis. However, existing research in utility-based SPM focuses on high-utility sequential patterns, and the definitions and strategies used in high-utility S…

SusBench: An Online Benchmark for Evaluating Dark Pattern Susceptibility of Computer-Use Agents
As LLM-based computer-use agents (CUAs) begin to autonomously interact with real-world interfaces, understanding their vulnerability to manipulative interface designs becomes increasingly critical. We introduce SusBench, an online benchmark for evaluating the susceptibility of CUAs to UI dark patterns, designs that aim to manipulate or deceive users into taking unintentional actions. Drawing nine common dark pattern types from existing taxonomies, we developed a method for constructing believab…

Topological Signatures of ReLU Neural Network Activation Patterns
This paper explores the topological signatures of ReLU neural network activation patterns. We consider feedforward neural networks with ReLU activation functions and analyze the polytope decomposition of the feature space induced by the network. Mainly, we investigate how the Fiedler partition of the dual graph and show that it appears to correlate with the decision boundary -- in the case of binary classification. Additionally, we compute the homology of the cellular decomposition -- in a regr…

A Non-Intrusive Framework for Deferred Integration of Cloud Patterns in Energy-Efficient Data-Sharing Pipelines
As data mesh architectures gain traction in federated environments, organizations are increasingly building consumer-specific data-sharing pipelines using modular, cloud-native transformation services. Prior work has shown that structuring these pipelines with reusable transformation stages enhances both scalability and energy efficiency. However, integrating traditional cloud design patterns into such pipelines poses a challenge: predefining and embedding patterns can compromise modularity, re…

Approach to zigzag and checkerboard patterns in spatially extended systems
Zigzag patterns in one dimension or checkerboard patterns in two dimensions occur in a variety of pattern-forming systems. We introduce an order parameter `phase defect' to identify this transition and help to recognize the associated universality class on a discrete lattice. In one dimension, if $x_{i}(t)$ is a variable value at site $i$ at time $t$. We assign spin $s_i(t)=1$ for $x_{i}(t)>x_{i-1}(t)$, $s_i(t)=-1$ if $x_{i}(t)

Amazon's CTO, Dr. Werner Vogels, recently shared this short post about how software development improves with age. His perspective revolves around the recurrence of certain patterns in technology where the experienced developer can say "New technology, same pattern.", and sift through the daily onslaught of new technologies in a calm fashion, weeding out what's just flash from more interesting developments.

Engineering Dominating Patterns: A Fine-grained Case Study
The \emph{Dominating $H$-Pattern} problem generalizes the classical $k$-Dominating Set problem: for a fixed \emph{pattern} $H$ and a given graph $G$, the goal is to find an induced subgraph $S$ of $G$ such that (1) $S$ is isomorphic to $H$, and (2) $S$ forms a dominating set in $G$. Fine-grained complexity results show that on worst-case inputs, any significant improvement over the naive brute-force algorithm is unlikely, as this would refute the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis. Nevertheless…

Targeted Sequential Pattern Mining with High Average Utility
Incorporating utility into targeted pattern mining can address the practical limitations of traditional frequency-based approaches. However, utility-based methods often suffer from generating a large number of long and complicated sequences. To improve pattern relevance and interpretability, average utility provides a more balanced metric by considering both utility and sequence length. Moreover, incorporating user-defined query targets into the mining process enhances usability and interactivi…

Embodied Natural Language Interaction (NLI): Speech Input Patterns in Immersive Analytics
Embodiment shapes how users verbally express intent when interacting with data through speech interfaces in immersive analytics. Despite growing interest in Natural Language Interaction (NLI) for visual analytics in immersive environments, users' speech patterns and their use of embodiment cues in speech remain underexplored. Understanding their interplay is crucial to bridging the gap between users' intent and an immersive analytic system. To address this, we report the results from 15 partici…
