This paper explores integrating self-tuning updates and sequential consistency to enable transparent replication of large-scale information dissemination services. We focus our at...
Abstract. Given a point query Q in multi-dimensional space, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) queries return the K closest answers in the database with respect to Q. In this scenario, it is...
In this paper a speaker adaptation methodology is proposed, which first automatically determines a number of speaker clusters in the training material, then estimates the paramete...
We present a method for spotting words in the wild, i.e., in real images taken in unconstrained environments. Text found in the wild has a surprising range of difficulty. At one en...
In this paper, we present a new approach for safe execution of untrusted programs by isolating their effects from the rest of the system. Isolation is achieved by intercepting fi...
