A flow is said to be confluent if at any node all the flow leaves along a single edge. Given a directed graph G with k sinks and non-negative demands on all the nodes of G, we con...
Often, the training procedure for statistical machine translation models is based on maximum likelihood or related criteria. A general problem of this approach is that there is on...
Abstract. The complexity of maximum likelihood decoding of the ReedSolomon codes [q -1, k]q is a well known open problem. The only known result [4] in this direction states that it...
In this paper we propose a novel algorithm for opinion summarization that takes account of content and coherence, simultaneously. We consider a summary as a sequence of sentences ...
Wireless sensor networks with multiple users collecting data directly from the sensors have many potential applications. An important problem is to allocate for each user a query r...
