This paper describes Pairwise Bisection: a nonparametric approach to optimizing a noisy function with few function evaluations. The algorithm uses nonparametric reasoning about si...
We provide a simple method that extracts an isosurface that is manifold and intersection-free from a function over an arbitrary octree. Our method samples the function dual to min...
This paper describes a domain independent approach to the use of genetic programming for object detection problems. Rather than using raw pixels or high level domain specific feat...
Similarity search and data mining often rely on distance or similarity functions in order to provide meaningful results and semantically meaningful patterns. However, standard dist...

We study the issue of performance prediction on the SGIPower Challenge, a typical SMP. On such a platform, the cost of memory accesses depends on their locality and on contention ...
