— Delay tolerant networks (DTNs) are a class of networks that experience frequent and long-duration partitions due to sparse distribution of nodes. The topological impairments ex...
This paper focuses on inductive invariants in unbounded model checking to improve efficiency and scalability. First of all, it introduces optimized techniques to speedup the comp...
Query by example of multimedia signals aims at automatic retrieval of media samples from a database, which are similar to a userprovided example. This paper proposes a method for ...
We present two simple but effective smoothing techniqes for the standard language model (LM) approach to information retrieval [12]. First, we extend the unigram Dirichlet smoothi...
