Age of Estimates: When to Submit Jobs to a Markov Machine to Maximize Revenue
With the dawn of AI factories ushering a new era of computing supremacy, development of strategies to effectively track and utilize the available computing resources is garnering utmost importance. These computing resources are often modeled as Markov sources, which oscillate between free and busy states, depending on their internal load and external utilization, and are commonly referred to as Markov machines (MMs). Most of the prior work solely focuses on the problem of tracking these MMs, wh…

Evaluation of facial landmark localization performance in a surgical setting
The use of robotics, computer vision, and their applications is becoming increasingly widespread in various fields, including medicine. Many face detection algorithms have found applications in neurosurgery, ophthalmology, and plastic surgery. A common challenge in using these algorithms is variable lighting conditions and the flexibility of detection positions to identify and precisely localize patients. The proposed experiment tests the MediaPipe algorithm for detecting facial landmarks in a …

Quotegraph: A Social Network Extracted from Millions of News Quotations
We introduce Quotegraph, a novel large-scale social network derived from speaker-attributed quotations in English news articles published between 2008 and 2020. Quotegraph consists of 528 thousand unique nodes and 8.63 million directed edges, pointing from speakers to persons they mention. The nodes are linked to their corresponding items in Wikidata, thereby endowing the dataset with detailed biographic entity information, including nationality, gender, and political affiliation. Being derived…

Symmetric Private Information Retrieval (SPIR) on Graph-Based Replicated Systems
We introduce the problem of symmetric private information retrieval (SPIR) on replicated databases modeled by a simple graph. In this model, each vertex corresponds to a server, and a message is replicated on two servers if and only if there is an edge between them. We consider the setting where the server-side common randomness necessary to accomplish SPIR is also replicated at the servers according to the graph, and we call this as message-specific common randomness. In this setting, we estab…
