Recently, several soft shadow mapping algorithms have been introduced which extract micro-occluders from a shadow map and backproject them on the light source to approximately det...
Existing algorithms for mining association patterns often rely on the support-based pruning strategy to prune a combinatorial search space. However, this strategy is not effective ...
Many ranking models have been proposed in information retrieval, and recently machine learning techniques have also been applied to ranking model construction. Most of the existin...

We introduce a new model of molecular computation that we call the sticker model. Like many previous proposals it makes use of DNA strands as the physical substrate in which infor...
