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…

Empowering Digital Agriculture: A Privacy-Preserving Framework for Data Sharing and Collaborative Research
Data-driven agriculture, which integrates technology and data into agricultural practices, has the potential to improve crop yield, disease resilience, and long-term soil health. However, privacy concerns, such as adverse pricing, discrimination, and resource manipulation, deter farmers from sharing data, as it can be used against them. To address this barrier, we propose a privacy-preserving framework that enables secure data sharing and collaboration for research and development while mitigat…

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 …
