Manually tuning tens to hundreds of configuration parameters in a complex software system like a database or an application server is an arduous task. Recent work has looked into ...
We describe a simple active learning heuristic which greatly enhances the generalization behavior of support vector machines (SVMs) on several practical document classification ta...
Recently, there has been a growing interest in exploiting profile information in adaptive systems such as just-in-time compilers, dynamic optimizers and, binary translators. In th...
