Self-assessment motivation questionnaires have been used in classrooms yet many researchers find only a weak correlation between answers to these questions and learning. In this pa...
We present a method for acquiring ontological knowledge using search query logs. We first use query logs to identify important contexts associated with terms belonging to a semant...
We show how to compute the edit distance between two strings of length n up to a factor of 2 ~O( log n) in n1+o(1) time. This is the first sub-polynomial approximation algorithm f...
Wideband displays fill our field of view, creating new opportunities to develop effective visual interfaces. Although multiple monitors are becoming an affordable way to create wi...
We study the spectral norm of matrices M that can be factored as M = BA, where A is a random matrix with independent mean zero entries and B is a fixed matrix. Under the (4 + )-th ...
