This paper presents a semi-supervised learning (SSL) approach to find similarities of images using statistics of local matches. SSL algorithms are well known for leveraging a larg...
In this paper, we assess the impact of using thesaurus-based query expansion methods, at the Information Retrieval (IR) stage of a Question Answering (QA) system. We focus on expan...
We introduce a hierarchical partitioning scheme of the Euclidean plane, called circular partitions. Such a partition consists of a hierarchy of convex polygons, each having small ...
Abstract. Replication is a fundamental technique for increasing throughput and achieving fault tolerance in distributed data services. However, its implementation may induce signif...

In this paper we introduce the notion of a Public-Key Encryption Scheme that is also a Locally-Decodable Error-Correcting Code (PKLDC). In particular, we allow any polynomialtime ...
