Content-based image retrieval in astronomy needs methods that can deal with an image content made of noisy and diffuse structures. This motivates investigations on how information ...
Scheduling DAGs with communication times is the theoretical basis for achieving efficient parallelism on distributed memory systems. We generalize Graham's task-level in a ma...
Iterative algorithm based on quantum tunneling is proposed by making use of mean-eld approximation. W e apply our method to the problem of BW image reconstruction (IR). Its perfor...
For our participation in CLEF, the Berkeley group participated in the monolingual, multilingual and GIRT tasks. To help enrich the CLEF relevance set for future training, we prepa...
