A key challenge in recommender system research is how to effectively profile new users, a problem generally known as cold-start recommendation. Recently the idea of progressivel...
Abstract. In recent work binary decision diagrams (BDDs) were introduced as a technique for postoptimality analysis for integer programming. In this paper we show that much smaller...
FlashDB is a self-tuning database optimized for sensor networks using NAND flash storage. In practical systems flash is used in different packages such as on-board flash chips,...
Practical scalability of Description Logic (DL) reasoning is an important premise for the adoption of OWL in a real-world setting. Many highly efficient optimizations for the DL ta...
Abstract. Software systems obey the 80/20 rule: aggressively optimizing a vital few execution paths yields large speedups. However, finding the vital few paths can be difficult, e...
