Abstract. In this paper a rigorous mathematical framework of deterministic annealing and mean-field approximation is presented for a general class of partitioning, clustering and ...
Key-value stores (KVSs) are the most prevalent storage systems for large scale web services. As they do not have the structural complexities of RDBMSs, they are more efficient. In...
The use of genotypic populations is necessary for adaptation in Evolutionary Algorithms. We use a technique called form-invariant commutation to study the immediate effect of evol...
In this paper, we study efficient closed pattern mining in a general framework of set systems, which are families of subsets ordered by set-inclusion with a certain structure, pro...
Expanding a seed set into a larger community is a common procedure in link-based analysis. We show how to adapt recent results from theoretical computer science to expand a seed s...
