Abstract--The now commonplace multi-core chips have introduced, by design, a deep hierarchy of memory and cache banks within parallel computers as a tradeoff between the user frien...
Multicore architectures featuring specialized accelerators are getting an increasing amount of attention, and this success will probably influence the design of future High Perfor...
We consider the problem of learning to rank relevant and novel documents so as to directly maximize a performance metric called Expected Global Utility (EGU), which has several de...
Query-independent features (also called document priors), such as the number of incoming links to a document, its Page-Rank, or the type of its associated URL, have been successfu...
The clustering coefficient of a node in a social network is a fundamental measure that quantifies how tightly-knit the community is around the node. Its computation can be reduce...
