Uncertain data is inherent in a few important applications such as environmental surveillance and mobile object tracking. Top-k queries (also known as ranking queries) are often n...
Due to power wall, memory wall, and ILP wall, we are facing the end of ever increasing single-threaded performance. For this reason, multicore and manycore processors are arising ...
In statistical analysis of measurement results, it is often necessary to compute the range [V , V ] of the population variance V = 1 n · n i=1 (xi −E)2 (where E = 1 n · n i=1 ...
Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) are widely used in stochastic optimization. Impressive experimental results have been reported in the literature. However, little work ...
We propose a novel way to induce a random field from an energy function on discrete labels. It amounts to locally injecting noise to the energy potentials, followed by finding t...
