Access limitations may occur when querying data sources over the web or heterogeneous data sources presented as relational tables: this happens, for instance, in Data Exchange and ...
Let k 4 be even and let n 2. Consider a faulty k-ary n-cube Qk n in which the number of node faults fv and the number of link faults fe are such that fv +fe 2n-2. We prove that ...
Combining information from the higher level and the lower level has long been recognized as an essential component in holistic image understanding. However, an efficient inferenc...
Log-linear parsing models are often trained by optimizing likelihood, but we would prefer to optimise for a task-specific metric like Fmeasure. Softmax-margin is a convex objecti...
Crowding is a technique used in genetic algorithms to preserve diversity in the population and to prevent premature convergence to local optima. It consists of pairing each offsp...
