This paper revisits fairness-aware interactive recommendation (e.g., TikTok, KuaiShou) by introducing a novel control knob, i.e., the lifecycle of items. We make threefold contributions. First, we conduct a comprehensive empirical analysis and uncover that item lifecycles in short-video platforms fo
Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder that, if untreated, can lead to serious health issues. Snoring is a typical symptom of sleep apnea and can be utilized to develop a noncontact automatic detection method for sleep apnea severity classification (SASC). However, due to patient heterogeneity, the…
We introduce CluSanT, a novel text sanitization framework based on Metric Local Differential Privacy (MLDP). Our framework consists of three components: token clustering, cluster embedding, and token sanitization. For the first, CluSanT employs Large Language Models (LLMs) to create—a set of potenti…
This paper presents an uncertainty-aware exploration framework for cooperative underwater operations using multiple unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs). The proposed framework leverages prior environmental information to iteratively integrate task planning, task assignment, and prior belief updating
Differential privacy has been widely applied to provide privacy guarantees by adding random noise to the function output. However, it inevitably fails in many high-stakes voting scenarios, where voting rules are required to be deterministic. In this work, we present the first framework for answerin…
