Grid search and manual search are the most widely used strategies for hyper-parameter optimization. This paper shows empirically and theoretically that randomly chosen trials are ...
—Embedded systems normally involve a combination of hardware and software resources designed to perform dedicated tasks. Such systems have widely crept into industrial control, a...
Generic database replication algorithms do not scale linearly in throughput as all update, deletion and insertion (UDI) queries must be applied to every database replica. The thro...
Developers perform small-scale reuse tasks to save time and to increase the quality of their code, but due to their small scale, the costs of such tasks can quickly outweigh their...
Many scientific applications generate large spatiotemporal datasets. A common way of exploring these datasets is to identify and track regions of interest. Usually these regions ...
