Web search engines are composed of a large set of search nodes and a broker machine that feeds them with queries. A location cache keeps minimal information in the broker to regist...
We propose Shotgun, a parallel coordinate descent algorithm for minimizing L1regularized losses. Though coordinate descent seems inherently sequential, we prove convergence bounds...

We present a model for predicting HLA class I restricted CTL epitopes. In contrast to almost all other work in this area, we train a single model on epitopes from all HLA alleles a...

In this paper we propose a new two-level methodology for assessing countries’/companies’ economic/financial performance. The methodology is based on two major techniques of gr...
This paper introduces a Bayesian algorithm for constructing predictive models from data that are optimized to predict a target variable well for a particular instance. This algori...
