Indexes for large collections are often divided into shards that are distributed across multiple computers and searched in parallel to provide rapid interactive search. Typically,...
Abstract. Geographic Information Retrieval (GIR) is a specialized Information Retrieval (IR) branch that deals with information related to geographical locations. Traditional IR en...
We present a number of optimization techniques to compute prefix sums on linked lists and implement them on multithreaded GPUs using CUDA. Prefix computations on linked structures ...
This paper presents a complete solution to estimating a scene’s 3D geometry and appearance from multiple 2D images by using a statistical inverse ray tracing method. Instead of ...
A major bottleneck in high-throughput protein crystallography is producing protein-structure models from an electrondensity map. In previous work, we developed Acmi, a probabilist...
