Extracting sentiments from unstructured text has emerged as an important problem in many disciplines. An accurate method would enable us, for example, to mine online opinions from ...
In this paper we consider problems related to the sortedness of a data stream. First we investigate the problem of estimating the distance to monotonicity; given a sequence of len...
In this paper we present a new technique for rendering very large datasets representing point-sampled surfaces. Rendering efficiency is considerably improved by using stochastic s...
Motivation: Motif detection for DNA sequences has many important applications in biological studies, e.g., locating binding sites and regulatory signals, and designing genetic prob...
