Despite popular belief, boosting algorithms and related coordinate descent methods are prone to overfitting. We derive modifications to AdaBoost and related gradient-based coordin...
In this paper we investigate two aspects of ranking problems on large graphs. First, we augment the deterministic pruning algorithm in Sarkar and Moore (2007) with sampling techni...
Energy consumption of mobile readers is becoming an important issue as applications of RFID systems pervade different aspects of our lives. Surprisingly, however, these systems ar...
