A robust dictionary of semantic frames is an essential element of natural language understanding systems that use ontologies. However, creating lexical resources that accurately c...
Earth Mover Distance (EMD) is a popular distance to compute distances between Probability Density Functions (PDFs). It has been successfully applied in a wide selection of problem...
We consider the problem of minimizing the total weighted completion time on identical parallel machines when jobs have stochastic processing times and may arrive over time. We give...
We present an efficient algorithm for the following problem: Given a collection T = {1, . . . , n} of n triangles in the plane, such that there exists a subset S T (unknown to us)...
This paper proposes an initialization of back propagation (BP) networks for pattern classification problems; the weights of hidden units are initialized so that hyperplanes should...
