motif discovery problem abstracts the task of discovering short, conserved sites in genomic DNA. Pevzner and Sze recently described a precise combinatorial formulation of motif di...
Abstract. Stream programming is a promising way to expose concurrency to the compiler. A stream program is built from kernels that communicate only via point-to-point streams. The ...
Dealing with verbose (or long) queries poses a new challenge for information retrieval. Selecting a subset of the original query (a "sub-query") has been shown to be an ...
Efficient estimation of tail probabilities involving heavy tailed random variables is amongst the most challenging problems in Monte-Carlo simulation. In the last few years, appli...
Gossip algorithms have recently received significant attention, mainly because they constitute simple and robust message-passing schemes for distributed information processing over...
