Let f be a function on Rd that is monotonic in every variable. There are 2d possible assignments to the directions of monotonicity (two per variable). We provide sufficient condit...
We explore the execution of queries with client-site userdefined functions (UDFs). Many UDFs can only be executed at the client site, for reasons of scalability, security, confide...
We present an anytime multiagent learning approach to satisfy any given optimality criterion in repeated game self-play. Our approach is opposed to classical learning approaches fo...
An effective 2-phase method for removing impulse noise was recently proposed. Its phase 1 identifies noisy pixel candidates by using median-type filters. Then in phase 2, it resto...
Recently direct optimization of information retrieval (IR) measures becomes a new trend in learning to rank. Several methods have been proposed and the effectiveness of them has ...
