A multiple description scalar quantization (MDSQ) based coding system can be regarded as a source coder (quantizer) followed by a channel coder, i.e. the combination of index and codeword assignment. The redundancy, or the correlation between the descriptions, is controlled by the number of diagonals covered by the index assignment. In this paper, we analyse dependencies between the variables involved in the MDSQ coding chain and design an estimation strategy making use of part of the global model of dependencies at each time. Inference of the hidden states of the connected models is done by applying belief propagation principles on the resulting Bayesian network. We try to evidence the most appropriate form of redundancy one should introduce in the context of variable length code compressed streams in order to fight against de-synchronizations when impaired by channel noise.

Efficient utilization of multi-core processor architectures requires the development of parallel programs. However, achieving optimized parallelization remains challenging, often requiring specialized expertise and substantial development time. Various tools, including automatic parallelization techniques, aim to facilitate this process by analyzing source code and identifying parallelizable sections. Despite their utility, conventional tools relying on static analysis struggle to comprehensively handle all potential parallel patterns. In contrast, recent Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated exceptional capabilities in Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks, and have begun to be adapted to address software engineering problems. Leveraging this advancement, we propose an automatic parallelization approach for OpenMP framework using LLMs. Our method utilizes the CodeT5+ model, pre-trained on diverse programming languages, to analyze and parallelize C/C++ source code by generating OpenMP directives. To validate our approach, we trained the model on a dataset sourced from public GitHub repositories, focusing on implementations using OpenMP. Experimental evaluation focused on parallelizing benchmarks from the NASA Parallel Benchmark (NPB) suite demonstrates promising results: Among eight benchmarks evaluated, our approach achieved speedups comparable to manually parallelized codes in two cases, moderate speedups in three cases, and encountered a problem in effectively parallelizing one benchmark. Overall, our model successfully parallelized 73% of the loops in NPB, showing its potential to enhance productivity in parallel programming tasks.

Document image restoration is a crucial aspect of Document AI systems, as the quality of document images significantly influences the overall performance. Prevailing methods address distinct restoration tasks independently, leading to intricate systems and the incapability to harness the potential synergies of multi-task learning. To overcome this challenge, we propose DocRes, a generalist model that unifies five document image restoration tasks including dewarping, deshadowing, appearance enhancement, deblurring, and binarization. To instruct DocRes to perform various restoration tasks, we propose a novel visual prompt approach called Dynamic Task-Specific Prompt (DTSPrompt). The DTSPrompt for different tasks comprises distinct prior features, which are additional characteristics extracted from the input image. Beyond its role as a cue for task-specific execution, DTSPrompt can also serve as supplementary information to enhance the model's performance. Moreover, DTSPrompt is more flexible than prior visual prompt approaches as it can be seamlessly applied and adapted to inputs with high and variable resolutions. Experimental results demonstrate that DocRes achieves competitive or superior performance compared to existing state-of-the-art task-specific models. This under-scores the potential of DocRes across a broader spectrum of document image restoration tasks. The source code is publicly available at https://***/ZZZHANGjx/DocRes.

Interest in using AR and VR in education for improved learning and retention is growing. However, creating effective XR instructional content is challenging. To boost XR adoption in education, user-friendly authoring tools are essential. This study presents HELP XR, an authoring tool tailored for XR activities. Adopting an action research approach involving the user in an agile development process, this paper presents the architecture of the authoring tool, and examines the challenges associated with designing XR-based training and the inherent complexities it presents for authoring tools.

Many modern analog media coders employ some form of entropy coding (EC). Usually, a simple per-letter EC is used to keep the coder's complexity and price low. In some coders, individual symbols are grouped into small fixed-size vectors before EC is applied. We extend this approach to form variable-size vector EC (VSVEC) in which vector sizes may be from 1 to several hundreds. The method is, however, complexity-constrained in the sense that the vector size is always as large as allowed by a pre-set complexity limit. The idea is studied in the framework of a modified discrete cosine transform (MDCT) coder. It is shown experimentally, using diverse audio material, that a rate reduction of about 37% can be achieved. The method is, however, not specific to MDCT coding but can be incorporated in various speech, audio, image and video coders.

We consider the universal source coding problem for first-order stationary, irreducible and aperiodic Markov sources for short blocklengths. Achievability is derived based on the previously introduced algorithm for universal compression of memoryless sources in the finite blocklengths, the Type Size Code, which encodes strings based on type class size. We derive the third-order asymptotic coding rate of the Type Size code for this model class. We also present a converse on the third-order coding rate for the general class of fixed-to-variable codes and show the optimality of Type Size codes for such Markov sources.

In software development, a key concept is “reproducible builds”. These are builds where the exact same output (identical bits) is generated every time the same source code is compliled with the same tools. Unfortunately, achieving this consistency isn’t always straightforward. Software artifacts built through a complex build system can introduce a challenge to pinpoint or give an idea about the reason for the unreproducibility of a build. With the build process spanning multiple stages, observability in the build system is crucial to determine the point of failure. eBPF solves the problem by allowing to tap into syscalls and process executions. In more straightforward terms, it helps to give an estimate on what could probably be the reason for the unreproducibility. Writing eBPF programs from scratch requires a great deal of knowledge and is not something every organisation would do to debug their unreproducible builds. This paper aims to provide a highlevel solution to observe the build process.
