Abstract In this paper we investigate the composition of cheap network storage resources to meet specific availability and capacity requirements. We show that the problem of find...
Abstract— The paper proposes a dynamic programming algorithm for training of functional networks. The algorithm considers each node as a state. The problem is formulated as find...

Abstract. In this work we study the theoretical and empirical properties of various global inference algorithms for multi-document summarization. We start by defining a general fr...
Transliteration is the task of converting a word from one alphabetic script to another. We present a novel, substring-based approach to transliteration, inspired by phrasebased mo...
The multiple weighted hitting set problem is to find a subset of nodes in a hypergraph that hits every hyperedge in at least m nodes. We extend the problem to a notion of hypergra...
A key problem when forming effective coalitions of autonomous agents is determining the best groupings, or the optimal coalition structure, to select to achieve some goal. To this...

String comparison is a critical issue in many application domains, including speech recognition, contents search, and bioinformatics. The similarity between two strings of lengths...
Multiple Sequence Alignment (MSA) is one of the most fundamental problems in computational molecular biology. The running time of the best known scheme for finding an optimal ali...
Stochastic Shortest Path problems (SSPs) can be efficiently dealt with by the Real-Time Dynamic Programming algorithm (RTDP). Yet, RTDP requires that a goal state is always reach...
We consider the filter decomposition problem in supporting coarse-grained pipelined parallelism. This form of parallelism is suitable for data-driven applications in scenarios wh...
