Because of the high volume and unpredictable arrival rate, stream processing systems may not always be able to keep up with the input data streams-- resulting in buffer overflow a...
Let be a finite, ordered alphabet, and consider a string x = x1x2 . . . xn n . A secondary index for x answers alphabet range queries of the form: Given a range [al, ar] , retu...
A tournament T = (V, A) is a directed graph in which there is exactly one arc between every pair of distinct vertices. Given a digraph on n vertices and an integer parameter k, th...
Abstract: Probabilistically constrained problems, in which the random variables are finitely distributed, are nonconvex in general and hard to solve. The p-efficiency concept has b...
Some of the most successful recent applications of reinforcement learning have used neural networks and the TD algorithm to learn evaluation functions. In this paper, we examine t...
