Abstract. Clustering data described by categorical attributes is a challenging task in data mining applications. Unlike numerical attributes, it is difficult to define a distance b...
This paper quantitatively explores the social and socio-semantic patterns of constitution of academic collaboration teams. To this end, we broadly underline two critical features ...
The performance of graph based clustering methods critically depends on the quality of the distance function, used to compute similarities between pairs of neighboring nodes. In t...
—The scalability and performance of the Internet depends critically on the performance of its packet switches. Current packet switches are based on single-hop crossbar fabrics, w...
Placement is a critical component of today's physical synthesis flow with tremendous impact on the final performance of VLSI designs. However, it accounts for a significant p...
