Most approaches to topic modeling assume an independence between documents that is frequently violated. We present an topic model that makes use of one or more user-specified grap...

Theoretical analysis of the Web graph is often used to improve the efficiency of search engines. The PageRank algorithm, proposed by [5], is used by the Google search engine [4] t...
Abstract. The need of true random number generators for many purposes (ranging from applications in cryptography and stochastic simulation, to search heuristics and game playing) i...
We explore the possibilities to organize a query data structure in the main memories or hard disks of a cluster computer. The query data structure serves to improve the performanc...
