To achieve high-performance on multicore systems, sharedmemory parallel languages must efficiently implement atomic operations. The commonly used and studied paradigms for atomici...
Effective data placement strategies can enhance the performance of data-intensive applications implemented on high end computing clusters. Such strategies can have a significant i...
Most data mining operations include an integral search component at their core. For example, the performance of similarity search or classification based on Nearest Neighbors is ...
Document retrieval systems conventionally use words as the basic unit of representation, a natural choice since words are primary carriers of semantic information. In this paper w...
Abstract. This paper concerns document ranking in information retrieval. In information retrieval systems, the widely accepted probability ranking principle (PRP) suggests that, fo...
