NSDI 2024: 21st USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation2024Multimodal model training takes multiple types of inputs to process with differently structured submodules, and aggregates outcomes from the submodules to learn the relationship among various types of inputs, e.g., correlating text to image for text-to-image generation. The differences of submodule architectures as well as their inputs lead to heterogeneity in terms of computation efficiency. Failing to

2024Recent advances in tabular data generation have greatly enhanced synthetic data quality. However, extending diffusion models to tabular data is challenging due to the intricately varied distributions and a blend of data types of tabular data. This paper introduces TABSYN, a methodology that synthesizes tabular data by leveraging a diffusion model within a variational autoencoder (VAE) crafted latent space

Picture Coding Symposium 20242024Deep learning-based video quality assessment (deep VQA) has demonstrated significant potential in surpassing conventional metrics, with promising improvements in terms of correlation with human perception. However, the practical deployment of such deep VQA models is often limited due to their high computational complexity and large memory requirements. To address this issue, we aim to significantly reduce

Picture Coding Symposium 20242024Professionally generated content (PGC) streamed online can contain visual artefacts that degrade the quality of user experience. These artefacts arise from different stages of the streaming pipeline, including acquisition, post-production, compression, and transmission. To better guide streaming ex-perience enhancement, it is important to detect specific artefacts at the user end in the absence of a pristine

2024The angular synchronization problem aims to accurately estimate (up to a constant additive phase) a set of unknown angles θ1, . . . , θn ∈ [0, 2π) from m noisy measurements of their offsets θi–θj mod 2π. Applications include, for example, sensor network localization, phase retrieval, and distributed clock synchronization. An extension of the problem to the heterogeneous setting (dubbed k-synchronization
