This paper examines the problem of finding an optimal policy for a Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) when the model is not known or is only poorly specified. W...
We report on the results of a series of experiments with a prototype text retrieval system which uses relatively advanced natural language processing techniques in order to enhanc...
Reducing energy consumption is an important issue in modern computers. Dynamic power management (DPM) has been extensively studied in recent years. One approach for DPM is to adju...
By leveraging modern networking hardware (RDMA-enabled network cards), we can shift priorities in distributed database processing significantly. Complex and sophisticated mechani...
