String comparison is a fundamental problem in computer science, with applications in areas such as computational biology, text processing or compression. In this paper we address t...
The fused Lasso penalty enforces sparsity in both the coefficients and their successive differences, which is desirable for applications with features ordered in some meaningful w...
When a phenomenon is described by a parametric model and multiple datasets are available, a key problem in statistics is to discover which datasets are characterized by the same p...
The low-rank matrix approximation problem involves finding of a rank k version of a m ? n matrix AAA, labeled AAAk, such that AAAk is as "close" as possible to the best ...
Top-k approximate querying on string collections is an important data analysis tool for many applications, and it has been exhaustively studied. However, the scale of the problem ...
