Abstract-- Answering approximate queries on string collections is important in applications such as data cleaning, query relaxation, and spell checking, where inconsistencies and e...
As cluster computers are used for a wider range of applications, we encounter the need to deliver resources at particular times, to meet particular deadlines, and/or at the same t...
Parameter estimation is a key computational issue in all statistical image modeling techniques. In this paper, we explore a computationally efficient parameter estimation algorith...
