The colour of colon tissue, which depends on the tissue structure, its optical properties, and the quantities of the pigments present in it, can be predicted by a physics-based mod...
We propose an online topic model for sequentially analyzing the time evolution of topics in document collections. Topics naturally evolve with multiple timescales. For example, so...
In this paper, we propose using the network-attached disk (NAD) architecture to design highly scalable and cost-effective multimedia-on-demand (MOD) servers. In order to ensure en...
We consider the problem of estimating CPU (distance computations) and I/O costs for processing range and k-nearest neighbors queries over metric spaces. Unlike the specific case ...
This paper describes our experience in developing a software system for use in the environmental modeling community. The primary user of this software is intended to be a scientis...
