Motivated by applications in batch scheduling of jobs in manufacturing systems and distributed computing, we study two related problems. Given is a set of jobs {J1, . . . , Jn}, w...
The FaCT (Fact and Concept Training) System provides a general platform for delivering practice in the form of discrete flashcard-like drills. The system optimizes practice schedu...
In statistics, mixture models consisting of several component subpopulations are used widely to model data drawn from heterogeneous sources. In this paper, we consider maximum lik...
