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...
In this paper we study the following problem. Given a database and a set of queries, we want to find, in advance, a set of views that can compute the answers to the queries, such ...
We show that for every set S of n points in the plane and a designated point rt ∈ S, there exists a tree T that has small maximum degree, depth and weight. Moreover, for every po...
We consider the problem of traffic grooming in WDM ring networks. Previous studies have focused on minimizing aggregate representations of the network cost. In this work, we consid...
In this study we focus on the integration of inventory control and vehicle routing schedules for a distribution system in which the warehouse is responsible for the replenishment ...
