2024Customer behavioral data significantly impacts e-commerce search systems. However, in the case of less common queries, the associated behavioral data tends to be sparse and noisy, offering inadequate support to the search mechanism. To address this challenge, the concept of query reformulation has been introduced. It suggests that less common queries could utilize the behavior patterns of their popular

CVPR 2024 Workshop on the Evaluation of Generative Foundation Models2024In the rapidly evolving field of Generative AI, this work takes initial steps towards establishing a systematic approach for comparing image editing methods. Currently, there is a lack of quantitative metrics for evaluating image editing tasks, with new methods being evaluated mostly qualitatively. Our methodology involves three key components: 1) The creation of a large synthetic dataset using GAN-Control

JAMA Network Open2024Question: What is the association between enrollment in a subscription program that offers Amazon Prime members access to 60 common generic prescription drugs for a $5 monthly fee with medication refills, days’ supply and out-of-pocket costs? Findings: In this cohort study comparing 5,003 enrollees to 5,137 controls, before and after enrollment, subscription program enrollment was associated with statistically

2024Many critical machine learning applications in cybersecurity, healthcare and finance, encounter challenges like data privacy, distribution shifts and class imbalance. Often, minority class labels are scarce and may only be present for specific types of samples, which can pose challenges for developing effective models that handle new and unforeseen minority examples at inference time. Additionally, feeding

PRX Quantum2024We take a bottom-up first-principles approach to designing a two-qubit gate between fluxonium qubits for minimal error, speed, and control simplicity. Our proposed architecture consists of two fluxoniums coupled via a resonator. The use of a simple linear coupler has many practical benefits, including the possibility of material optimization for suppressing loss, reducing fabrication complexity, and increasing
