As XQuery rapidly emerges as the standard for querying XML documents, it is very important to understand the architectural characteristics and behaviors of such workloads. A lot o...
Abstract. Kernel based methods (such as k-nearest neighbors classifiers) for AI tasks translate the classification problem into a proximity search problem, in a space that is usu...
Abstract-In this paper, we construct a neural-inspired computational model based on the representational capabilities of receptive fields. The proposed model, known as Shape Encodi...
Given a scene consisting of objects, ray shooting queries answer with the first object encountered by a given ray, and are used in ray tracing and radiosity for rendering photo-r...
Ranking a set of retrieved documents according to their relevance to a query is a popular problem in information retrieval. Methods that learn ranking functions are difficult to o...
