The growing computational and storage needs of several scientific applications mandate the deployment of extreme-scale parallel machines, such as IBM’s BlueGene/L which can acc...
A new statistical model for DNA considers a sequence to be a mixture of regions with little structure and regions that are approximate repeats of other subsequences, i.e. instance...

In the paper, a new method for modelling trees at medium detail is presented. The method is based on a volumetric representation of trees, generated by an iterated function system...
We investigate using gradient descent methods for learning ranking functions; we propose a simple probabilistic cost function, and we introduce RankNet, an implementation of these...

Many algorithms and data structures employing hashing have been analyzed under the uniform hashing assumption, i.e., the assumption that hash functions behave like truly random fu...
