This paper explores an approach to global, stochastic, simulation optimization which combines stochastic approximation (SA) with simulated annealing (SAN). SA directs a search of ...
— This paper introduces a new benchmark tool, SPEK (Storage Performance Evaluation Kernel module), for evaluating the performance of block-level storage systems in the presence o...
We propose an unsupervised methodology using independent component analysis (ICA) to cluster genes from DNA microarray data. Based on an ICA mixture model of genomic expression pa...
This paper describes a program called Pret that automates system identification, the process of finding a dynamical model of a black-box system. Pret performs both structural iden...
While the notion of a cooperative response has been the focus of considerable research in natural language dialogue systems, there has been little empirical work demonstrating how...
