RegScore: Scoring Systems for Regression Tasks
Scoring systems are widely adopted in medical applications for their inherent simplicity and transparency, particularly for classification tasks involving tabular data. In this work, we introduce RegScore, a novel, sparse, and interpretable scoring system specifically designed for regression tasks. Unlike conventional scoring systems constrained to integer-valued coefficients, RegScore leverages beam search and k-sparse ridge regression to relax these restrictions, thus enhancing predictive per…

End-users have trouble sharing files on the cloud. Are these mistakes just random confusion from non-technical users? No: we show that there's a deep analogy to *programming* misconceptions! Surprised? Read more here:

Mich hat es dabei auch getroffen: Die Zahlung einer Online-Bestellung wurde von meiner Bank abgelehnt und dadurch ist mein PayPal Konto dick im Minus. Meine Bank behauptet PayPal ist schuld.

GPUnion: Autonomous GPU Sharing on Campus
A pronounced imbalance in GPU resources exists on campus, where some laboratories own underutilized servers while others lack the compute needed for AI research. GPU sharing can alleviate this disparity, while existing platforms typically rely on centralized oversight and persistent allocation models, conflicting with the voluntary and autonomous nature of academic resource ownership. We present GPUnion, a campus-scale GPU sharing platform enabling voluntary participation while preserving full …
