— Finding the k nearest neighbors (kNN) of a query point, or a set of query points (kNN-Join) are fundamental problems in many application domains. Many previous efforts to solve...
Fragmentation leads to unpredictable and degraded application performance. While these problems have been studied in detail for desktop filesystem workloads, this study examines n...
This paper proposes a novel representation of the free space of mobile robot by distinct, non-overlapping regions called Edge Visibility Regions (EVRs). An algorithm to partition ...
The semantics of class-based languages can be defined in terms of objects only [8, 7, 1] if classes are viewed as objects with a constructor method. One obtains a store in which m...
In this paper, we propose a second order optimization method to learn models where both the dimensionality of the parameter space and the number of training samples is high. In ou...
