We develop an algorithm for parallel disk sorting, whose I/O cost approaches the lower bound and that guarantees almost perfect overlap between I/O and computation. Previous algor...
The efficiency and robustness of a vision system is often largely determined by the quality of the image features available to it. In data mining, one typically works with immense...
The caching behavior of multimedia applications has been described as having high instruction reference locality within small loops, very large working sets, and poor data cache p...
Libraries and other institutions are interested in providing access to scanned versions of their large collections of handwritten historical manuscripts on electronic media. Conve...
Previous studies of Non-Parametric Kernel (NPK) learning usually reduce to solving some Semi-Definite Programming (SDP) problem by a standard SDP solver. However, time complexity ...
