We present in this article a new approximation algorithm for scheduling a set of n independent rigid (meaning requiring a fixed number of processors) jobs on hierarchical parallel ...
Abstract: Most modern computer applications should run on heterogeneous platforms and, moreover, objects and respective code should be easily interchangeable between distinct platf...
Abstract— Ensuring the security of computers is a nontrivial task, with many techniques used by malicious users to compromise these systems. In recent years a new threat has emer...
The supremacy of n-gram models in statistical language modelling has recently been challenged by parametric models that use distributed representations to counteract the difficult...
We study the potential benefits to classification prediction that arise from having access to unlabeled samples. We compare learning in the semi-supervised model to the standard, ...
