For object-oriented databases we propose a new technique for optimizing queries containing method invocations. This technique is based on the definition of inverse methods and que...
Relaxed memory consistency models, such as release consistency, were introduced in order to reduce the impact of remote memory access latency in both software and hardware distrib...
Abstract. In this paper, we propose a new method for image classification, in which matrix based kernel features are designed to capture the multiple similarities between images in...
Reinforcement learning in real-world domains suffers from three curses of dimensionality: explosions in state and action spaces, and high stochasticity. We present approaches that ...
We consider a general weighted least squares approximation problem with a membrane spline regularization term. The key parameters in this formulation are the weighting factors whi...
