We define a natural notion of efficiency for approximate nearest-neighbor (ANN) search in general n-point metric spaces, namely the existence of a randomized algorithm which answ...
We present an energy based automatic image segmentation algorithm that uses a novel active contour scheme, called the stochastic active contour scheme (STACS). The algorithm overc...
—Energy use of computer communication systems has quickly become a vital design consideration. One effective method for reducing energy consumption is dynamic speed scaling, whic...
Abstract—Message progression schemes that enable communication and computation to be overlapped have the potential to improve the performance of parallel applications. With curre...
— Previous results show that a node’s throughput scales poorly as the network size increases when every node has traffic. However, in many cases, only a fraction of nodes in l...
