The typical difficulty of various NP-hard problems varies with simple parameters describing their structure. This behavior is largely independent of the search algorithm, but depe...
We present a general method of parallel query processing that allows scalable performance on distributed inverted files. The method allows the realization of a hybrid that combin...
A method is presented that allows one to exactly determine all the characteristics of a PSO’s sampling distribution and explain how it changes over time, in the presence stochas...
We propose a method for estimating confidence regions around shapes predicted from partial observations, given a statistical shape model. Our method relies on the estimation of the...
Researchers have studied hybrid branch predictors that leverage the strengths of multiple stand-alone predictors. The common theme among the proposed techniques is a selection mec...
