This paper investigates two strategies for improving coreference resolution: (1) training separate models that specialize in particular types of mentions (e.g., pronouns versus pr...
Compilers can exploit knowledge that a variable has a fixed known value at a program point for optimizations such as code specialization and constant folding. Recent work has shown...
MPICH2 provides a layered architecture for implementing MPI-2. In this paper, we provide a new design for implementing MPI-2 over InfiniBand by extending the MPICH2 ADI3 layer. Ou...
Cross-Layer Design (CLD) is a new paradigm for network architecture that allows us to make better use of network resources by optimizing across the boundaries of traditional netwo...

Traditional code optimizers have produced significant performance improvements over the past forty years. While promising avenues of research still exist, traditional static and p...

Storing and disseminating coded information instead of the original data can bring significant performance improvements to sensor network protocols. Such methods reduce the risk of...
In this paper, we discuss a lightweight approach to eliminate the overhead due to implicit type arguments during higher-order unification of dependently-typed terms. First, we show...
We present a novel reasoning calculus for Description Logics (DLs)--knowledge representation formalisms with applications in areas such as the Semantic Web. In order to reduce the ...
Recent empirical work has shown that combining predictors can lead to significant reduction in generalization error. The individual predictors (weak learners) can be very simple, ...
The output of boolean association rule mining algorithms is often too large for manual examination. For dense datasets, it is often impractical to even generate all frequent items...
