This paper considers a multi-query optimization issue for distributed similarity query processing, which attempts to exploit the dependencies in the derivation of a query evaluati...
Design space exploration of embedded systems typically focuses on classical design goals such as cost, timing, buffer sizes, and power consumption. Robustness criteria, i.e. sensi...
In this paper we introduce the notion of constrained nearest neighbor queries (CNN) and propose a series of methods to answer them. This class of queries can be thought of as neare...
Previous research into the efficiency of text retrieval systems has dealt primarily with methods that consider inverted lists in sequence; these methods are known as term-at-a-tim...
Abstract. We present a new derivative-free algorithm, ORBIT, for unconstrained local optimization of computationally expensive functions. A trust-region framework using interpolati...
