We introduce a method for providing lightweight daemons, called simplifiers, that attach themselves to program data. If a data item has a simplifier, the simplifier may be run aut...
In order to evaluate the performance of information retrieval and extraction algorithms, we need test collections. A test collection consists of a set of documents, a clearly form...
In this paper, we study a novel problem Collective Active Learning, in which we aim to select a batch set of "informative" instances from a networking data set to query ...
Systems that store objects at a large number of sites require fault-tolerant and timely garbage collection. A popular technique is to trace each site independently using inter-sit...
