The explosive growth of artificial intelligence is exponentially escalating computational demand, inflating data center energy use and carbon emissions, and spurring rapid deployment of green data centers to relieve resource and environmental stress. Achieving sub-minute orchestration of renewables
Previous ad auctions predominantly relied on rule-based mechanisms, which selected winning advertisements (ads) at the ad-level and subsequently combined them into page views (PVs), leading to suboptimal allocations in multi-round auctions. This limitation stems from the significant computational bu…
Estimating the conditional average treatment effects (CATE) is very important in causal inference and has a wide range of applications across many fields. In the estimation process of CATE, the unconfoundedness assumption is typically required to ensure the identifiability of the regression problems…
Multi-modality image fusion and segmentation play a vital role in autonomous driving and robotic operation. Early efforts focus on boosting the performance for only one task, e.g., fusion or segmentation, making it hard to reach `Best of Both Worlds'. To overcome this issue, in this paper, we propos…
With the recent success of dense retrieval methods based on bi-encoders, studies have applied this approach to various interesting downstream retrieval tasks with good efficiency and in-domain effectiveness.Recently, we have also seen the presence of dense retrieval models in Math Information Retrie…
"Recent advances in deep networks have gained great attention in infrared and visible image fusion (IVIF). Nevertheless, most existing methods are incapable of dealing with slight misalignment on source images and suffer from high computational and spatial expenses. This paper tackles these two crit…
This study addresses the issue of fusing infrared and visible images that appear differently for object detection. Aiming at generating an image of high visual quality, previous approaches discover commons underlying the two modalities and fuse upon the common space either by iterative optimization…
Stereo matching has been widely used to estimate depth maps in terrestrial environments. However, it is difficult to achieve appealing performance in underwater environments, since adequate underwater stereo data with groundtruth depth information is not easily available for training an underwater d…
Image deblurring is a classical low-level visual processing task, which aims to recover a potentially noise-free sharp image from the blurred image. Existing prior-based and learning-based methods usually need to manually set some vital auxiliary components (e.g., noise level). It brings about extre…
Maximum A Posterior (MAP) acts as one of the most popular modeling scheme in image restoration and is usually reduced to a separable optimization model. Unfortunately, it is challenging to establish exact regularization term and the model with complex priors is hard to optimize. In additionally, it…
The under-exposure and low-light environments are common to degrade the image-quality with invisible information. To ameliorate this case, a copious of low-light image enhancement methods are developed. However, these existing works are hard to handle extremely low-light conditions with noises, even…
