The top-k retrieval problem requires finding k objects most similar to a given query object. Similarities between objects are most often computed as aggregated similarities of the...
We present algorithms for improved Viterbi decoding for the case of hidden semi-Markov models. By carefully constructing directed acyclic graphs, we pose the decoding problem as t...
Let G = (V, E, w) be a directed graph, where w : V → R is an arbitrary weight function defined on its vertices. The bottleneck weight, or the capacity, of a path is the smalles...
Skyline computation has many applications including multi-criteria decision making. In this paper, we study the problem of selecting k skyline points so that the number of points,...
In this paper, we design and implement an efficient technique for parallel evidence propagation on state-of-the-art multicore processor systems. Evidence propagation is a major ste...
