Abstract. This paper proposes to exploit content and usage information to rearrange an inverted index for a full-text IR system. The idea is to merge the entries of two frequently ...
In this paper we describe a serializer component completely realized in .NET managed code, able to run on a stripped versions of the .NET platform (e.g., Compact Framework) and st...
This paper discusses our experience with fine-grain synchronization for a variant of the preconditioned conjugate gradient method. This algorithm represents a large class of algo...
Recent research in decision theoretic planning has focussedon making the solution of Markov decision processes (MDPs) more feasible. We develop a family of algorithms for structur...

We introduce a general technique to create an extended formulation of a mixed-integer program. We classify the integer variables into blocks, each of which generates a finite set ...
