Contrary to the sequential world, the processes involved in a distributed system do not necessarily know when a computation is globally finished. This paper investigates the proble...
We consider the problem of document indexing and representation. Recently, Locality Preserving Indexing (LPI) was proposed for learning a compact document subspace. Different from...

Motivated by the problem of detecting link-spam, we consider the following graph-theoretic primitive: Given a webgraph G, a vertex v in G, and a parameter δ ∈ (0, 1), compute th...

We present a Kernighan-Lin style local improvement heuristic for genetic algorithms. We analyze the run-time cost of the heuristic. We demonstrate through experiments that the heur...
Abstract. Local similarity is an important tool in comparative analysis of biological sequences, and is therefore well studied. In particular, the Smith-Waterman technique and its ...
