LLM-R2: A Large Language Model Enhanced Rule-based Rewrite System for Boosting Query Efficiency
Query rewrite, which aims to generate more efficient queries by altering a SQL query's structure without changing the query result, has been an important research problem. In order to maintain equivalence between the rewritten query and the original one during rewriting, traditional query rewrite methods always rewrite the queries following certain rewrite rules. However, some problems still remain. Firstly, existing methods of finding the optimal choice or sequence of rewrite rules are still l…

Also, I remain open to all offers to having my, admittedly eccentric, scripts produced.
If you have always wanted to produce short films for children based on pastiches of Hollywood genres of the 20th C, now’s your chance.
B&W Chandler Noir? Technicolour Biblical Epic? 50s monster movie? Spielberg sci-fi? We’ve got it all.

"The advantage #Quora had in the late 2000s was that it was designed with social networking in mind. The plan was to persuade experts in specialized fields to share their insights with knowledge-seekers and build a vibrant community around this free exchange of authentic information. There were a lot of high-quality answers from people who wanted to just share their experiences…

High-Speed Detector For Low-Powered Devices In Aerial Grasping
Autonomous aerial harvesting is a highly complex problem because it requires numerous interdisciplinary algorithms to be executed on mini low-powered computing devices. Object detection is one such algorithm that is compute-hungry. In this context, we make the following contributions: (i) Fast Fruit Detector (FFD), a resource-efficient, single-stage, and postprocessing-free object detector based on our novel latent object representation (LOR) module, query assignment, and prediction strategy. F…

Aaronson-Ambainis Conjecture Is True For Random Restrictions
In an attempt to show that the acceptance probability of a quantum query algorithm making $q$ queries can be well-approximated almost everywhere by a classical decision tree of depth $\leq \text{poly}(q)$, Aaronson and Ambainis proposed the following conjecture: let $f: \{ \pm 1\}^n \rightarrow [0,1]$ be a degree $d$ polynomial with variance $\geq ε$. Then, there exists a coordinate of $f$ with influence $\geq \text{poly} (ε, 1/d)$. We show that for any polynomial $f: \{ \pm 1\}^n \rightarr…
