A nonplanar graph G is near-planar if it contains an edge e such that G − e is planar. The problem of determining the crossing number of a near-planar graph is exhibited from di...
Confidence-Weighted linear classifiers (CW) and its successors were shown to perform well on binary and multiclass NLP problems. In this paper we extend the CW approach for sequen...
Although many methods of refining initialization have appeared, the sensitivity of K-Means to initial centers is still an obstacle in applications. In this paper, we investigate a...
A nonplanar graph G is near-planar if it contains an edge e such that G−e is planar. The problem of determining the crossing number of a near-planar graph is exhibited from diffe...
We investigate balls-and-bins processes where m weighted balls are placed into n bins using the "power of two choices" paradigm, whereby a ball is inserted into the less...
