We consider the problem of ranking refinement, i.e., to improve the accuracy of an existing ranking function with a small set of labeled instances. We are, particularly, intereste...
While many works have been devoted to service matchmaking and modeling nonfunctional properties, the problem of matching service requests to offers in an optimal way has not yet b...
The increasing importance of Unicode for text encoding implies a possible doubling of data storage space and data transmission time, with a corresponding need for data compression...
Reasoning about string variables, in particular program inputs, is an important aspect of many program analyses and testing frameworks. Program inputs invariably arrive as strings...
An affine disperser over Fn 2 for sources of dimension d is a function f : Fn 2 F2 such that for any affine space S Fn 2 of dimension at least d, we have {f(s) : s S} = F2. Aff...
