Current methods for selectivity estimation fall into two broad categories, synopsis-based and sampling-based. Synopsis-based methods, such as histograms, incur minimal overhead at ...
We describe an exact decoding algorithm for syntax-based statistical translation. The approach uses Lagrangian relaxation to decompose the decoding problem into tractable subprobl...
GA-based clustering algorithms often employ either simple GA, steady state GA or their variants and fail to consistently and efficiently identify high quality solutions (best known...
Abstract In this paper we investigate the composition of cheap network storage resources to meet specific availability and capacity requirements. We show that the problem of find...
We compare inexact Newton and block coordinate descent optimization methods for improving the quality of a mesh by repositioning the vertices, where the overall quality is measure...
