Measuring image similarity is a central topic in computer vision. In this paper, we learn similarity from Flickr groups and use it to organize photos. Two images are similar if th...
In this paper, we consider the problem of modeling machine availability in enterprise-area and wide-area distributed computing settings. Using availability data gathered from three...
Cellular automata are a simple model of parallel computation. Many people wonder about the computing power of such a model. Following an idea of S. Wolfram [16], M. Cook [3] has pr...
It is not surprising that reaching human-level AI has proved to be difficult and progress has been slow— though there has been important progress. The slowness and the demand t...
Physical processes are computations only when we use them to externalize thought. Entities provide nature with a way to preserve structure over time. We think in terms of entities ...
