The effectiveness and scalability of MapReduce-based implementations of complex data-intensive tasks depend on an even redistribution of data between map and reduce tasks. In the...
It has been shown that a class of probabilistic domain models cannot be learned correctly by several existing algorithms which employ a single-link lookahead search. When a multil...
Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) has been validated to be effective on many small scale text collections. However, little evidence has shown its effectiveness on unsampled large sca...
In this paper we present a novel approach to continuous, whole-sentence ASL recognition that uses phonemes instead of whole signs as the basic units. Our approach is based on a se...
We introduce a new parallel programming paradigm, namely synchronous parallel critical sections. Such parallel critical sections must be seen in the context of switching between s...
