In this paper, we present DeFer--a fast, high-quality, scalable, and nonstochastic fixed-outline floorplanning algorithm. DeFer generates a nonslicing floorplan by compacting a sli...
Fast retrieval methods are critical for large-scale and
data-driven vision applications. Recent work has explored
ways to embed high-dimensional features or complex distance

Several IR tasks rely, to achieve high efficiency, on a single pervasive data structure called the inverted index. This is a mapping from the terms in a text collection to the docu...
