This paper presents a new way of thinking for IR metric optimization. It is argued that the optimal ranking problem should be factorized into two distinct yet interrelated stages:...
In this paper, we consider the problem of allocating bandwidth to two queues with arbitrary arrival processes, so as to minimize the total expected packet holding cost over a finit...
Many large-scale networks such as ad hoc and sensor networks, peer-to-peer networks, or the Internet have the property that the number of independent nodes does not grow arbitrari...
In this paper, we develop a new language construct to address one of the pitfalls of parallel programming: precise handling of events across parallel components. The construct, te...

Mining discrete patterns in binary data is important for subsampling, compression, and clustering. We consider rankone binary matrix approximations that identify the dominant patt...
