Efficient Implementation of a Quantum Search Algorithm for Arbitrary N
This paper presents an enhancement to Grover's search algorithm for instances where the number of items (or the size of the search problem) $N$ is not a power of 2. By employing an efficient algorithm for the preparation of uniform quantum superposition states over a subset of the computational basis states, we demonstrate that a considerable reduction in the number of oracle calls (and Grover's iterations) can be achieved in many cases. For special cases (i.e., when $N$ is of the form such tha…

Attack Effect Model based Malicious Behavior Detection
Traditional security detection methods face three key challenges: inadequate data collection that misses critical security events, resource-intensive monitoring systems, and poor detection algorithms with high false positive rates. We present FEAD (Focus-Enhanced Attack Detection), a framework that addresses these issues through three innovations: (1) an attack model-driven approach that extracts security-critical monitoring items from online attack reports for comprehensive coverage; (2) effic…

London Design Museum Turns its Massive Warehouse Collection into Another Museum—with 250K Items
Rather than hold the power of deciding what the public gets to see, in a stroke of democracy, they have given the reins over to the public.

AliBoost: Ecological Boosting Framework in Alibaba Platform
Maintaining a healthy ecosystem in billion-scale online platforms is challenging, as users naturally gravitate toward popular items, leaving cold and less-explored items behind. This ''rich-get-richer'' phenomenon hinders the growth of potentially valuable cold items and harms the platform's ecosystem. Existing cold-start models primarily focus on improving initial recommendation performance for cold items but fail to address users' natural preference for popular content. In this paper, we intr…

BVLSM: Write-Efficient LSM-Tree Storage via WAL-Time Key-Value Separation
Modern data-intensive applications increasingly store and process big-value items, such as multimedia objects and machine learning embeddings, which exacerbate storage inefficiencies in Log-Structured Merge-Tree (LSM)-based key-value stores. This paper presents BVLSM, a Write-Ahead Log (WAL)-time key-value separation mechanism designed to address three key challenges in LSM-Tree storage systems: write amplification, poor memory utilization, and I/O jitter under big-value workloads. Unlike state…

Abnormal component analysis
At the crossway of machine learning and data analysis, anomaly detection aims at identifying observations that exhibit abnormal behaviour. Be it measurement errors, disease development, severe weather, production quality default(s) (items) or failed equipment, financial frauds or crisis events, their on-time identification and isolation constitute an important task in almost any area of industry and science. While a substantial body of literature is devoted to detection of anomalies, little att…

I finally got rid of the old bed I’d kept since moving in, so the room feels pretty empty right now.
I’m in the process of reorganizing everything and plan to turn this space into my own anarchist sanctuary.
Soon, I’ll add a bookshelf and more anarchist art to the wall, right next to the communist hammer and sickle symbol.
