The performance of a dynamic optimization system depends heavily on the code it selects to optimize. Many current systems follow the design of HP Dynamo and select a single interp...
Traditional agreement-based Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) systems process all requests on all replicas to ensure consistency. In addition to the overhead for BFT protocol and sta...
Abstract. Question answering systems aim to meet users' information needs by returning exact answers in response to a question. Traditional open domain question answering syst...
