We consider segment intersection searching amidst (possibly intersecting) algebraic arcs in the plane. We show how to preprocess n arcs in time O(n2+ ) into a data structure of si...
In this paper we present the use of a "general purpose" textual entaiment recognizer in the Answer Validation Exercise (AVE) task. Our system has been developed to learn...
Data quality is critical for many information-intensive applications. One of the best opportunities to improve data quality is during entry. USHER provides a theoretical, data-dri...

Disk performance is increasingly limited by its head positioning latencies, i.e., seek time and rotational delay. To reduce the head positioning latencies, we propose a novel tech...
The growing speed gap between memory and processor makes an efficient use of the cache ever more important to reach high performance. One of the most important ways to improve cac...
