Over the last decades, improvements in CPU speed have outpaced improvements in main memory and disk access rates by orders of magnitude, enabling the use of data compression techn...
We consider the problem of speeding up Entity Recognition systems that exploit existing large databases of structured entities to improve extraction accuracy. These systems requir...
Content-based dissemination of XML data using the publishsubscribe paradigm is an effective means to deliver relevant data to interested data consumers. To meet the performance ch...
This paper introduces a novel energy minimization method, namely iterated cross entropy with partition strategy (ICEPS), into the Markov random field theory. The solver, which is...
Most game programs have a large number of parameters that are crucial for their performance. Tuning these parameters by hand is rather difficult. Therefore automatic optimization a...
