VLDB 20232023Existing general purpose frameworks for gigantic model training, i.e., dense models with billions of parameters, cannot scale efficiently on cloud environment with various networking conditions due to large communication overheads. In this paper, we propose MiCS, which Minimizes the Communication Scale to bring down communication overhead. Specifically, by decreasing the number of participants in a communication

2023Product dimension is a crucial piece of information enabling customers make better buying decisions. Ecommerce websites extract dimension attributes to enable customers filter the search results according to their requirements. The existing methods extract dimension attributes from textual data like title and product description. However, this textual information often exists in an ambiguous, disorganized

2023Open-set logo recognition is commonly solved by first detecting possible logo regions and then matching the detected parts against an ever-evolving dataset of cropped logo images. The matching model, a metric learning problem, is especially challenging for logo recognition due to the mixture of text and symbols in logos. We propose two novel contributions to improve the matching model’s performance: (a)

2023Detecting commercial Ads from a video is important. For example, the commercial break frequency and duration are two metrics to measure the user experience for streaming service providers such as Amazon Freevee. The detection can be done intrusively by intercepting the network traffic and then parsing the service providers data and logs, or non-intrusively by capturing the videos streamed by content providers
-
2023Accurate per-pixel semantic class annotations of the entire video are crucial for designing and evaluating video semantic segmentation algorithms. However, the annotations are usually limited to a small subset of the video frames due to the high annotation cost and limited budget in practice. In this paper, we propose a novel human-in-the-loop framework called HVSA to generate semantic segmentation annotations
