In recent years, large databases of natural images have
become increasingly popular in the evaluation of face and
object recognition algorithms. However, Pinto et al. previously

Tuple dropping, though commonly used for load shedding in most stream operations, is inadequate for m-way, windowed stream joins. The join output rate can be overly reduced becaus...
This paper studies the use of decomposition techniques to quickly find high-quality solutions to large-scale vehicle routing problems with time windows. It considers an adaptive d...
Data clustering is an important task in many disciplines. A large number of studies have attempted to improve clustering by using the side information that is often encoded as pai...
