Elastic Hashing: Beating Uniform Probing Without Reordering

Open-addressed hash tables are fast—until the table is almost full and probe lengths explode. This paper shows a surprising shift in what’s possible without reordering: elastic hashing achieves O(1) amortized expected probes with only O(log(1/δ)) worst-case expected probes at load 1−δ, and funnel hashing disproves a long-standing conjecture by giving a greedy scheme with O(log²(1/δ)) worst-case expected probes. Here’s the intuition, the guarantees, and why it changes how we should think about high-load performance and tail latency.

5 AI Tools That Makes The Academics Life Easier

It is not a secret Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolutioning the wolrd for some time now. However, the release of chatGPT was a game changer, brining Large Language Models (LLMs) in a productize and free way to the masses. This amazing tool has been also adopted by academics, if they admit it or not. In this context, using AI tools in academia is still debated for multiple moral, legal, and operational reasons. Nonetheless, the end is clear - we will use AI as we use computers, the internet, and grammer correction models. This is a question of when the old academics will understand they can not hold the gate close much longer. Until this happens, in this blog post I quickly present five AI tools you should try out...

Go Ahead and Ask for a Nickle on the Dime: The Systematic Issue of Academic Collaboration and How to Negotiate It Gracefully

Academic collaboration is pivotal for groundbreaking research but comes with unspoken complexities. Negotiating credit, resource distribution, and dynamics is akin to solving a puzzle. Addressing these challenges is crucial for fruitful teamwork. Research indicates early conflicts in authorship credit, highlighting a systemic issue in academia. Strategies include understanding co-authors on a personal level, agreeing on authors' list order, task delegation, and mediation mechanisms. An exit strategy is essential for irreconcilable differences. While effective, these strategies might challenge traditional norms, requiring a balance between pragmatic navigation and academic goodwill. Acknowledging the impact of collaborators, this blog post advocates for constructive collaboration.

Automatic Distribution Fitting of Tabular Data using the Simulated Annealing Algorithm

Allocating a parametric distribution to features in tabular data is a well-known problem for all data analysis as this provides a wide range of abilities such as better explainability, generation of new samples, and better picking of classification and regressions models using meta-learning. In this study, we propose a simulated annealing approach to allocate a parametric distribution for features, obtaining the optimal distribution and its parameters. We show that the proposed approach performs on average similar to the commonly used brute force with maximum likelihood approach even for simple distributions such as uniform and normal distributions.

Optimal Intervention Policies For the COVID-19 Pandemic Emerge from Socioeconomic-Heterogeneous Dynamics

The COVID-19 pandemic is a rolling crisis that required policymakers around the world to take action to manage the pandemic spread. During the period where vaccination was not available, the pandemic spread management lied in non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs). A large number of mathematical models have been proposed to predict the pandemic spread and analyze the influence of various NPIs on multiple scenarios, getting more accurate and sophisticated over time. In this post, we review the latest mathematical models for pandemic spread NPIs and their main limitations. Specifically, the usage of modeling a homogeneous population rather than a heterogeneous one.

AI Agent For The OCTI Board Game

We developed a digital version of the OCTI board with three artificial intelligence (AI) players. The first two AI players are based on deterministic algorithms (greedy and MinMax) while the third is based on reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm. We train the RL player based on historical games (offline) and then personalize it using online learning against specific player. An experiment conducted with five levels of human players show that the RL is able to win 44% of the time (greedy and MinMax win 14% and 32%, respectively) making it a valid AI player.
