We consider the challenge of preference elicitation in systems that help users discover the most desirable item(s) within a given database. Past work on preference elicitation foc...
Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) often fail to exploit sharing between Boolean functions that differ only in their support variables. In a memory circuit, for example, the function...
This paper presents a hybrid technique that combines List Scheduling (LS) with Genetic Algorithms (GA) for constructing non-preemptive schedules for soft real-time parallel applic...
In this paper, we describe a set of claims that have evolved from our work in designing visual representations of groups in online environments. We argue that these claims can ser...
We investigate the use of linear and nonlinear principal manifolds for learning low-dimensional representations for visual recognition. Three techniques: Principal Component Analy...
