Many recent advances in complex domains such as Natural Language Processing (NLP) have taken a discriminative approach in conjunction with the global application of structural and...
We give a new class of outer bounds on the marginal polytope, and propose a cutting-plane algorithm for efficiently optimizing over these constraints. When combined with a concav...
Many applications rely heavily on large amounts of data in the distributed storages collected over time or produced by large scale scientific experiments or simulations. The key co...
In this paper, we investigate the roles of replication vs. repair to achieve durability in large-scale distributed storage systems. Specifically, we address the fundamental questio...
In this paper, we present a new packaging architecture for chip-level optical interconnections based on imaging fiber bundles. Imaging fiber bundles consist of densely packed arra...
