A large family of algorithms for dimensionality reduction end with solving a Trace Ratio problem in the form of arg maxW Tr(WT SpW)/Tr(WT SlW)1 , which is generally transformed in...
Monte Carlo methods and their subsequent simulated annealing are able to minimize general energy functions. However, the slow convergence of simulated annealing compared with more ...
The notion of certain answers arises when one queries incompletely specified databases, e.g., in data integration and exchange scenarios, or databases with missing information. W...
Although it has long been realised that ACID transactions by themselves are not adequate for structuring long-lived applications and much research work has been done on developing...
