Automatic physical database design tools rely on "what-if" interfaces to the query optimizer to estimate the execution time of the training query workload under differen...
—Burst loss and delay are two main issues in optical hop-count. Network diameter is the hop-count of the shortest burst switching (OBS) networks. In OBS, if the hop-count path be...
The notion of embedding a class of dichotomies in a class of linear half spaces is central to the support vector machines paradigm. We examine the question of determining the mini...
We present a probabilistic ranking-driven classifier for the detection of video semantic concept, such as airplane, building, etc. Most existing concept detection systems utilize ...
We introduce a semi-supervised support vector machine (S3 VM) method. Given a training set of labeled data and a working set of unlabeled data, S3 VM constructs a support vector m...
