A promising approach to graph clustering is based on the intuitive notion of intra-cluster density vs. inter-cluster sparsity. While both formalizations and algorithms focusing on ...
We present and evaluate new techniques for designing algorithm portfolios. In our view, the problem has both a scheduling aspect and a machine learning aspect. Prior work has larg...
This paper discusses two problems that arise in the Generation of Referring Expressions: (a) numeric-valued attributes, such as size or location; (b) perspective-taking in referen...
Abstract— The role of gradient estimation in global optimization is investigated. The concept of a regional gradient is introduced as a tool for analyzing and comparing different...
This paper focuses on Bluetooth, a promising new wireless technology, developed mainly as a cable replacement. We argue that, in practice, Bluetooth devices will have different po...
