Text Understanding systems often commit to a single best interpretation of a sentence before analyzing subsequent text. This interpretation is chosen by resolving ambiguous altern...
In this paper we present a novel use of an FPGA as a computing element for streaming based application. We investigate the virtualized execution of dynamic reconfigurable tasks. We...
In distributed systems users need to share sensitive objects with others based on the recipients' ability to satisfy a policy. Attribute-Based Encryption (ABE) is a new parad...
Multimedia applications have unique characteristics that can be leveraged to design energy-efficient loss recovery mechanisms. Given their loss tolerance and strict timing requirem...
Reinforcement learning policies face the exploration versus exploitation dilemma, i.e. the search for a balance between exploring the environment to find profitable actions while t...
