Utility functions can be used to represent the value users attach to job completion as a function of turnaround time. Most previous scheduling research used simple synthetic repre...
Most parallel machines, such as clusters, are spaceshared in order to isolate batch parallel applications from each other and optimize their performance. However, this leads to lo...
Non-rigid object alignment is especially challenging when only a single appearance template is available and target and template images fail to match. Two sources of discrepancy b...
Dimensionality reduction plays a fundamental role in data processing, for which principal component analysis (PCA) is widely used. In this paper, we develop the Laplacian PCA (LPC...
Structural perception of data plays a fundamental role in pattern analysis and machine learning. In this paper, we develop a new structural perception of data based on local conte...
