|abstract = Mobile crowd sensing (MCS) is a popular sensing paradigm that leverages the power of massive mobile workers to perform various location-based sensing tasks. To assign workers with suitable tasks, recent research works investigated mobility prediction methods based on probabilistic and statistical models to estimate the worker’s moving behavior, based on which the allocation algorithm is designed to match workers with tasks such that workers do not need to deviate from their daily routes and tasks can be completed as many as possible. In this paper, we propose a new multi-task allocation method based on mobility prediction, which differs from the existing works by (1) making use of workers’ historical trajectories more comprehensively by using the fuzzy logic system to obtain more accurate mobility prediction and (2) designing a global heuristic searching algorithm to optimize the overall task completion rate based on the mobility prediction result, which jointly considers workers’ and tasks’ spatiotemporal features. We evaluate the proposed prediction method and task allocation algorithm using two real-world datasets. The experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed methods compared against baselines.
|abstract = LoRa technology promises to enable Internet of Things applications over large geographical areas. However, its performance is often hampered by poor channel quality in urban environments, where blockage and multipath effects are prevalent. Our study uncovers that a slight shift in the position or attitude of the receiving antenna can substantially improve the received signal quality. This phenomenon can be attributed to the rich multipath characteristics of wireless signal propagation in urban environments, wherein even small antenna movement can alter the dominant signal path or reduce the polarization angular difference between transceivers. Leveraging these key observations, we propose and implement MoLoRa, an intelligent mobile antenna system designed to enhance LoRa packet reception. At its core, MoLoRa represents the position and attitude of an antenna as a state and employs a statistical optimization method to search for states that offer optimal signal quality efficiently. Through extensive evaluation, we demonstrate that MoLoRa achieves a maximum Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) gain of 13 dB in a few attempts, enabling formerly problematic blind spots to reconnect and strengthening links for other nodes.

|abstract = On-device deep neural network (DNN) training holds the potential to enable a rich set of privacy-aware and infrastructure-independent personalized mobile applications. However, despite advancements in mobile hardware, locally training a complex DNN is still a nontrivial task given its resource demands. In this work, we show that the limited memory resources on mobile devices are the main constraint and propose Sage as a framework for efficiently optimizing memory resources for on-device DNN training. Specifically, Sage configures a flexible computation graph for DNN gradient evaluation and reduces the memory footprint of the graph using operator- and graph-level optimizations. In run-time, Sage employs a hybrid of gradient checkpointing and micro-batching techniques to dynamically adjust its memory use to the available system memory budget. Using implementation on off-the-shelf smartphones, we show that Sage enables local training of complex DNN models by reducing memory use by more than 20-fold compared to a baseline approach. We also show that Sage successfully adapts to run-time memory budget variations, and evaluate its energy consumption to show Sage's practical applicability.
|abstract =Large language models (LLMs) achieve superior performance in generative tasks. However, due to the natural gap between language model generation and structured information extraction in three dimensions: task type, output format, and modeling granularity, they often fall short in structured information extraction, a crucial capability for effective data utilization on the web. In this paper, we define the generation process of the language model as the controllable state transition, aligning the generation and extraction processes to ensure the integrity of the output structure and adapt to the goals of the information extraction task. Furthermore, we propose the Structure2Text decider to help the language model understand the fine-grained extraction information, which converts the structured output into natural language and makes state decisions, thereby focusing on the task-specific information kernels, and alleviating language model hallucinations and incorrect content generation. We conduct extensive experiments and detailed analyses on myriad information extraction tasks, including named entity recognition, relation extraction, and event argument extraction. Our method not only achieves significant performance improvements but also considerably enhances the model's capability to generate precise and relevant content, making the extracted content easy to parse.

|abstract = We characterize production workloads of serverless DAGs at a major cloud provider. Our analysis highlights two major factors that limit performance: (a) lack of efficient communication methods between the serverless functions in the DAG, and (b) stragglers when a DAG stage invokes a set of parallel functions that must complete before starting the next DAG stage. To address these limitations, we propose WISEFUSE, an automated approach to generate an optimized execution plan for serverless DAGs for a user-specified latency objective or budget. We introduce three optimizations: (1) Fusion combines in-series functions together in a single VM to reduce the communication overhead between cascaded functions. (2) Bundling executes a group of parallel invocations of a function in one VM to improve resource sharing among the parallel workers to reduce skew. (3) Resource Allocation assigns the right VM size to each function or function bundle in the DAG to reduce the E2E latency and cost. We implement WISEFUSE to evaluate it experimentally using three popular serverless applications with different DAG structures, memory footprints, and intermediate data sizes. Compared to competing approaches and other alternatives, WISEFUSE shows significant improvements in E2E latency and cost. Specifically, for a machine learning pipeline, WISEFUSE achieves P95 latency that is 67% lower than Photons, 39% lower than Faastlane, and 90% lower than SONIC without increasing the cost.
