It is frequently remarked that designers of computer vision algorithms and systems cannot reliably predict how algorithms will respond to new problems. A variety of reasons have b...

: We present a new algorithm for selective search by iterative expansion of leaf nodes. The algorithm reasons with leaf evaluations in a way that leads to high confidence in the c...
Volunteer computing projects use a task server to manage work. Clients periodically communicate with the server to report completed tasks and get new tasks. The rate at which the ...
For data analysis or simulations (e.g. in particle physics) single users submit hundreds or thousands of jobs to the Grid. This puts a new burden on the users side - keeping an ov...
Abstract Competition and cooperation can boost the performance of a combinatorial search process. Both can be implemented with a portfolio of algorithms which run in parallel, give...
