The past decade has seen a remarkable resurgence of the old programme of finding more or less a priori axioms for the mathematical framework of quantum mechanics. The new impetus...
This paper is to investigate the group behavior patterns of search activities based on Web search history data, i.e., clickthrough data, to boost search performance. We propose a ...
This paper investigates helper threads that improve performance by prefetching data on behalf of an application’s main thread. The focus is data prefetch helper threads that lac...
Relational Markov models (RMMs) are a generalization of Markov models where states can be of different types, with each type described by a different set of variables. The domain ...
