Using a dominating set as a coordinator in wireless networks has been proposed in many papers as an energy conservation technique. Since the nodes in a dominating set have the ext...
Directed diffusion is a prominent example of data-centric routing based on application layer data and purely local interactions. In its functioning it relies heavily on network-wid...
We describe an approach for multi-modal characterization of social media by combining text features (e.g. tags as a prominent example of short, unstructured text labels) with spat...
Current clustering techniques are able to identify arbitrarily shaped clusters in the presence of noise, but depend on carefully chosen model parameters. The choice of model param...
We describe a new boosting algorithm that is the first such algorithm to be both smooth and adaptive. These two features make possible performance improvements for many learning ...
