Checkpointing is a widely used mechanism for supporting fault tolerance, but notorious in its high-cost disk access. The idea of memory-based checkpointing has been extensively stu...
We present a novel deterministic dependency parsing algorithm that attempts to create the easiest arcs in the dependency structure first in a non-directional manner. Traditional d...
Earth Mover Distance (EMD) is a popular distance to compute distances between Probability Density Functions (PDFs). It has been successfully applied in a wide selection of problem...
This paper explores the scalability issues associated with solving the Named Entity Recognition (NER) problem using Support Vector Machines (SVM) and high-dimensional features and ...
The ranking problem appears in many areas of study such as customer rating, social science, economics, and information retrieval. Ranking can be formulated as a classification pro...
