Supporting real-time referring expression comprehension (REC) on pervasive devices is an important capability for human-AI collaborative tasks. Model pruning techniques, applied to DNN models, can enable real-time execution even on resource-constrained devices. However, existing pruning strategies are designed principally for uni-modal applications, and suffer a significant loss of accuracy when applied to REC tasks that require fusion of textual and visual inputs. We thus present a multi-modal pruning model, LGMDP, which uses language as a pivot to dynamically and judiciously select the relevant computational blocks that need to be executed. LGMDP also introduces a new SoftSkip mechanism, whereby 'skipped' visual …

Learning based order dispatching has witnessed tremendous success in ride hailing. However, the success halts within individual ride hailing platforms because sharing raw order dispatching data across platforms may leak user privacy and business secrets. Such data isolation not only impairs user experience but also decreases the potential revenues of the platforms. In this paper, we advocate federated order dispatching for cross-platform ride hailing, where multiple platforms collaboratively make dispatching decisions without sharing their local data. Realizing this concept calls for new federated learning strategies that tackle the unique challenges on effectiveness, privacy and efficiency in the context of order …

Software developers often use social media (such as Twitter) to shareprogramming knowledge such as new tools, sample code snippets,and tips on programming. One of the topics they talk about is thesoftware library. The tweets may contain useful information abouta library. A good understanding of this information, e.g., on thedeveloper’s views regarding a library can be beneficial to weigh thepros and cons of using the library as well as the general sentimentstowards the library. However, it is not trivial to recognize whethera word actually refers to a library or other meanings. For example,a tweet mentioning the word “pandas" may refer to …
