The classical inexact Newton algorithm is an efficient and popular technique for solving large sparse nonlinear system of equations. When the nonlinearities in the system are wellb...
—The current peer-to-peer (P2P) content distribution systems are constricted by their simple on-demand content discovery mechanism. The utility of these systems can be greatly en...
Query auto completion is known to provide poor predictions of the user’s query when her input prefix is very short (e.g., one or two characters). In this paper we show that con...
Simulated annealing (SA) and deterministic continuation are well-known generic approaches to global optimization. Deterministic continuation is computationally attractive but produ...
We propose and study a new ranking problem in versioned databases. Consider a database of versioned objects which have different valid instances along a history (e.g., documents i...
