We introduce and validate bootstrap techniques to compute confidence intervals that quantify the effect of test-collection variability on average precision (AP) and mean average...
Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) has shown encouraging performance for the problem of unsupervised image automatic annotation. LSA conducts annotation by keywords propagation on a l...
We want to perform compile-time analysis of an SPMD program and place barriers in it to synchronize it correctly, minimizing the runtime cost of the synchronization. This is the b...
Many key pre-distribution techniques have been developed recently to establish pairwise keys for wireless sensor networks. To further improve these schemes, researchers have propo...
Distributed computing middleware needs to support a wide range of resources, such as diverse software components, various hardware devices, and heterogeneous operating systems and...
