We present a proof calculus and method for the static verification of assertions and procedure specifications in shared-memory concurrent programs. The key idea in our approach is...
The primary goal of exception mechanisms is to help ensure that when an operation fails, code that depends on the operation's successful completion is not executed (a property...
This paper presents a new algorithm for sequence prediction over long categorical event streams. The input to the algorithm is a set of target event types whose occurrences we wis...
We present DL8, an exact algorithm for finding a decision tree that optimizes a ranking function under size, depth, accuracy and leaf constraints. Because the discovery of optimal...
Addressed in this paper is the issue of `email data cleaning' for text mining. Many text mining applications need take emails as input. Email data is usually noisy and thus i...
