We address a longstanding open problem of [11, 10], and present a general transformation that transforms any pointer based data structure to be confluently persistent. Such transf...
: The middle ground between distance learning and standard-issue classroom education is ripe for exploration. In particular, the Open Directory Project shows that groups of people ...
We investigate the use of probabilistic models and cost-benefit analyses to guide the operation of a Web-based question-answering system. We first provide an overview of research ...

This paper describes a simple and efficient method to make template-based object classification invariant to in-plane rotations. The task is divided into two parts: orientation di...
We present an anytime algorithm which computes policies for decision problems represented as multi-stage influence diagrams. Our algorithm constructs policies incrementally, start...
