Commercial OCR packages work best with highquality scanned images. They often produce poor results when the image is degraded, either because the original itself was poor quality,...
Motivation: A few years ago, FlyBase undertook to design a new database schema to store Drosophila data. It would fully integrate genomic sequence and annotation data with bibliog...
Low-rank matrix approximation methods provide one of the simplest and most effective approaches to collaborative filtering. Such models are usually fitted to data by finding a MAP...
The goal of this research is to develop performance profiles of parallel and distributed applications in order to predict their execution time under different network conditions....
The asymptotic behavior of stochastic gradient algorithms is studied. Relying on some results of differential geometry (Lojasiewicz gradient inequality), the almost sure pointconve...
