un_migrations: UN migration stock (2015)
A network of migration between countries, collected by the United Nations. A directed edge gives the flow of migration, and an edge property gives the number of migrants, for each given year and sex. Estimates are presented for 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2015 and are available for all countries and areas of the world. The estimates are based on official statistics on the foreign-born or the foreign population.
This network has 232 no…

Learning from Majority Label: A Novel Problem in Multi-class Multiple-Instance Learning
The paper proposes a novel multi-class Multiple-Instance Learning (MIL) problem called Learning from Majority Label (LML). In LML, the majority class of instances in a bag is assigned as the bag-level label. The goal of LML is to train a classification model that estimates the class of each instance using the majority label. This problem is valuable in a variety of applications, including pathology image segmentation, political voting prediction, customer sentiment analysis, and environmental m…

Migratie is niet hét probleem van de woningmarkt: 'Dat is onzin'
De woningnood in Nederland is nijpend en in een zoektocht naar oorzaken wordt in publiek én politiek debat geregeld naar migranten gewezen. Arbeids- en asielmigranten hebben inderdaad invloed op de woningschaarste. Maar volgens experts is die invloed niet groot.

Best-of-Majority: Minimax-Optimal Strategy for Pass@$k$ Inference Scaling
LLM inference often generates a batch of candidates for a prompt and selects one via strategies like majority voting or Best-of- N (BoN). For difficult tasks, this single-shot selection often underperforms. Consequently, evaluations commonly report Pass@$k$: the agent may submit up to $k$ responses, and only the best of them is used when computing regret. Motivated by this, we study inference scaling in the more general Pass@$k$ inference setting, and prove that neither majority voting nor BoN …

Adaptive AI Agent Placement and Migration in Edge Intelligence Systems
The rise of LLMs such as ChatGPT and Claude fuels the need for AI agents capable of real-time task handling. However, migrating data-intensive, multi-modal edge workloads to cloud data centers, traditionally used for agent deployment, introduces significant latency. Deploying AI agents at the edge improves efficiency and reduces latency. However, edge environments present challenges due to limited and heterogeneous resources. Maintaining QoS for mobile users necessitates agent migration, which …
