We investigate an online version of a basic scheduling problem where a set of jobs has to be scheduled on a number of identical machines so as to minimize the makespan. The job pr...
This paper presents three methods that can be used to recognize paraphrases. They all employ string similarity measures apshallow abstractions of the input sentences, and a Maximu...
Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDP) provide a standard framework for sequential decision making in stochastic environments. In this setting, an agent takes actio...
Thread-level speculation provides architectural support to aggressively run hard-to-analyze code in parallel. As speculative tasks run concurrently, they generate unsafe or specul...
Distributed applications can fail in subtle ways that depend on the state of multiple parts of a system. This complicates the validation of such systems via fault injection, since...
