A new method termed the vertex representation is presented for approximating the shapes of objects of arbitrary dimensionality d (e.g., 20, 30, etc.) with orthogonal (d - 1)-dimen...
A parallel version of the plane sweep algorithm targeted towards the small number of processing cores available on commonly available multi-core systems is presented. Experimental...
The number of Web blogs is growing extremely fast, thus this phenomenon cannot be ignored. This paper discusses the issue through monitoring a set of blogs for a two months period...
We present an algorithm, called the offset tree, for learning in situations where a loss associated with different decisions is not known, but was randomly probed. The algorithm i...
We introduce the notion of a multiprofile and use it for finding subtle motifs in DNA sequences. Multiprofiles generalize the notion of a profile and allow one to detect subtle co...
