Abstract. In this paper, we explore the syntactic relation patterns for opendomain factoid question answering. We propose a pattern extraction method to extract the various relatio...
Fault tolerant algorithms are often designed under the t-out-of-n assumption, which is based on the assumption that all processes or components fail independently with equal proba...
We propose a strategy to decompose a polygon, containing zero or more holes, into “approximately convex” pieces. For many applications, the approximately convex components of ...
Abstract. Lock-free shared data structures in the setting of distributed computing have received a fair amount of attention. Major motivations of lock-free data structures include ...
