We propose a general model of local property reconstruction. Suppose we have a function f on domain Γ, which is supposed to have a particular property P, but may not have the pro...
We describe a simple improvement to ngram language models where we estimate the distribution over closed-class (function) words separately from the conditional distribution of ope...
Abstract. In this paper we introduce a novel approach for query performance prediction based on ranking list scores dispersion. Starting from the hypothesis that different score d...
This paper describes the implementation of a processorgroup membership protocol in an experimental real-time network. The protocol is appropriate for fault-tolerant distributed sy...
In this paper, we introduce the combinatorial auction model for resource management in grids. We propose a combinatorial auction-based resource allocation protocol in which a user...
