We present a model, based on the maximum entropy method, for analyzing various measures of retrieval performance such as average precision, R-precision, and precision-at-cutoffs....
The use of sub-optimal digital systems can at times lead to high speed, efficient, costeffective structures that are sufficient to perform needed tasks. We describe here a system ...
Modern multicore processors, such as the Cell Broadband Engine, achieve high performance by equipping accelerator cores with small “scratchpad” memories. The price for increase...
