In the rank join problem, we are given a set of relations and a scoring function, and the goal is to return the join results with the top K scores. It is often the case in practic...
We consider the distributed complexity of the stable marriage problem. In this problem, the communication graph is undirected and bipartite, and each node ranks its neighbors. Giv...
Real-world face recognition systems are sometimes confronted with degraded face images, e.g., low-resolution, blurred, and noisy ones. Traditional two-step methods have limited per...
