The goal of cache management is to maximize data reuse. Collaborative caching provides an interface for software to communicate access information to hardware. In theory, it can o...
Inverted files are widely used to index documents in large-scale information retrieval systems. An inverted file consists of posting lists, which can be stored in either a documen...
We propose a method to train a cascade of classifiers by simultaneously optimizing all its stages. The approach relies on the idea of optimizing soft cascades. In particular, inst...
We consider the exploration/exploitation problem in reinforcement learning (RL). The Bayesian approach to model-based RL offers an elegant solution to this problem, by considering...
Similarity search is widely used in multimedia retrieval systems to find the most similar ones for a given object. Some similarity measures, however, are not metric, leading to e...
