Im KI-Zeitalter reicht ein PowerPoint-Deck nicht mehr. #Accenture war lange der Gewinner der Digitalisierung, doch KI stellt das Geschäftsmodell auf den Prüfstand. Accentures Rolle als Vermittler schrumpft, da Kunden zunehmend auf direkte Tech-Lösungen setzen. Ob Accenture mit „Reinvention Services“ relevant bleibt?

Who needs Accenture in the age of AI?
The self-styled reinvention powerhouse faces its toughest job yet—remaking itself

Edge-weighted Matching in the Dark
We present a $0.659$-competitive Quadratic Ranking algorithm for the Oblivious Bipartite Matching problem, a distribution-free version of Query-Commit Matching. This result breaks the $1-\frac{1}{e}$ barrier, addressing an open question raised by Tang, Wu, and Zhang (JACM 2023). Moreover, the competitive ratio of this distribution-free algorithm improves the best existing $0.641$ ratio for Query-Commit Matching achieved by the distribution-dependent algorithm of Chen, Huang, Li, and Tang (SODA …

THE WASTIVE: An Interactive Ebb and Flow of Digital Fabrication Waste
What if digital fabrication waste could observe the world? What would they see? What would they say? "THE WASTIVE" reimagines digital fabrication waste as sentient observers, giving them a poetic voice through interactive art. As viewers approach, the installation awakens, mimicking the rhythmic ebb and flow of ocean waves - a silent dialogue where discarded materials "observe" and respond to human presence. These interactions echo the gentle murmurs of the sea, transforming technological resid…

Improved Berezin-Li-Yau inequality and Kröger inequality and consequences
We provide quantitative improvements to the Berezin-Li-Yau inequality and the Kröger inequality, in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\ge 2$. The improvement on Kröger's inequality resolves an open question raised by Weidl from 2006. The improvements allow us to show that, for any open bounded domains, there are infinite many Dirichlet eigenvalues satisfying Pólya's conjecture if $n\ge 3$, and infinite many Neumann eigenvalues satisfying Pólya's conjecture if $n\ge 5$ and the Neumann spectrum is discrete.

HOComp: Interaction-Aware Human-Object Composition
While existing image-guided composition methods may help insert a foreground object onto a user-specified region of a background image, achieving natural blending inside the region with the rest of the image unchanged, we observe that these existing methods often struggle in synthesizing seamless interaction-aware compositions when the task involves human-object interactions. In this paper, we first propose HOComp, a novel approach for compositing a foreground object onto a human-centric backgr…

On the incidence of weak and strong Mg II absorbers towards the Flat and Steep Spectrum Radio quasars
The incidence rate of Mg II absorbers per unit redshift path (dN/dz) towards quasar sightlines has been used to probe the interaction between quasar jets and surrounding gas clouds. Studies using core- and lobe-dominated samples found a higher dN/dz for strong Mg II absorbers (rest equivalent width, W_r(2796) >= 1.0 A) in velocity offsets ranging from 5000 km/s < beta * c < 60000 km/s (with beta = v/c), toward core-dominated sources. In this study, we applied a stringent spectral index criterio…
