Abstract. We describe a clustering approach with the emphasis on detecting coherent structures in a complex dataset, and illustrate its effectiveness with computer vision applicat...
In this paper we describe an algorithm to approximately solve a class of semidefinite programs called covering semidefinite programs. This class includes many semidefinite programs...
The view selection problem is to choose a set of views to materialize over a database schema, such that the cost of evaluating a set of workload queries is minimized and such that ...
We focus on the problem of efficient learning of dependency trees. Once grown, they can be used as a special case of a Bayesian network, for PDF approximation, and for many other u...
We consider scheduling real-time distributable threads in the presence of node/link failures and message losses in large-scale network systems. We present a distributed scheduling...
