For finding accurate and biologically meaningful multiple sequence alignment, it is required to consider a loosely constrained version of multiple sequence alignment. This paper is...
Selectivity estimation of queries not only provides useful information to the query processing optimization but also may give users a preview of processing results. In this paper,...
We consider iterative algorithms of the form z := f(z), executed by a parallel or distributed computing system. We focus on asynchronous implementations whereby each processor ite...
Classifiers favoring sparse solutions, such as support vector machines, relevance vector machines, LASSO-regression based classifiers, etc., provide competitive methods for classi...
When monitoring spatial phenomena, which can often be modeled as Gaussian processes (GPs), choosing sensor locations is a fundamental task. There are several common strategies to ...
