In standard text retrieval systems, the documents are gathered and indexed on a single server. In distributed information retrieval (DIR), the documents are held in multiple colle...
Nested Monte-Carlo search is a general algorithm that gives good results in single player games. Genetic Programming evaluates and combines trees to discover expressions that maxim...
Support Vector Machines (SVMs) suffer from an O(n2 ) training cost, where n denotes the number of training instances. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to select boundary ins...
Scheduling query execution plans is an important component of query optimization in parallel database systems. The problem is particularly complex in a shared-nothing execution en...
The vertex representation, a new data structure for representing and manipulating orthogonal objects, is presented. Both interiors and boundaries of regions are represented implic...
