We focused on two issues: answer selection and confidence estimation. We found that some simple constraints on the candidate answers can improve a pure IR-based technique for answ...

: In this paper, an image binarization method based on a new discriminant criterion is proposed. The criterion emphasizes much the homogeneity of the object gray level distribution...
A random graph order, also known as a transitive percolation process, is defined by taking a random graph on the vertex set {0, . . . , n − 1}, and putting i below j if there i...
We address the problem of computing approximate answers to continuous sliding-window joins over data streams when the available memory may be insufficient to keep the entire join...
The shortest capacitated path problem is a well known problem in the networking area, having a wide range of applications. In the shortest capacitated path problem, a traffic flow...
