Evolutionary Learning with Kernels: A Generic Solution for Large Margin Problems
In this paper we embed evolutionary computation into statistical learning theory. First, we outline the connection between large margin optimization and statistical learning and see why this paradigm is successful for many pattern recognition problems. We then embed evolutionary computation into the most prominent repr...
INTRODUCTION In this paper we will discuss how evolutionary algorithms can be used to solve large margin optimization problems. Permission to make digital or hard copies of all or part of this work for personal or classroom use is granted without fee provided that copies are not made or distributed for profit or commer...

A Flexible and Extensible Object Middleware: CORBA and Beyond
This paper presents a CORBA-compliant middleware architecture that is more flexible and extensible compared to standard CORBA. The portable design of this architecture is easily integrated in any standard CORBA middleware; for this purpose, mainly the handling of object references (IORs) has to be changed. To encapsula...
INTRODUCTION Middleware systems are heavily used for the implementation of complex distributed applications. Current developments like mobile environments and ubiquitous computing lead to new requirements that future middleware systems will have to meet. Examples for such requirements are the support for self-adaptatio...

Fan-out Measuring Human Control of Multiple Robots
A goal of human-robot interaction is to allow one user to operate multiple robots simultaneously. In such a scenario the robots provide leverage to the user's attention. The number of such robots that can be operated is called the fan-out of a human-robot team. Robots that have high neglect tolerance and lower interact...
INTRODUCTION As computing becomes smaller, faster and cheaper the opportunity arises to embed computing in robots that perform a variety of "dull, dirty and dangerous" tasks that humans would rather not perform themselves. For the foreseeable future robots will not be fully autonomous, but will be directed by humans. T...

Fast String Sorting Using Order-Preserving Compression
We give experimental evidence for the benefits of order-preserving compression in sorting algorithms . While, in general, any algorithm might benefit from compressed data because of reduced paging requirements, we identified two natural candidates that would further benefit from order-preserving compression, namely str...
INTRODUCTION In recent years, the size of corporate data collections has grown rapidly. For example, in the mid-1980s, a large text collection was in the order of 500 MB. Today, large text collections are over a thousand times larger. At the same time, archival legacy data that used to sit in tape vaults is now held on...

FBRAM: A new Form of Memory Optimized for 3D Graphics
FBRAM, a new form of dynamic random access memory that greatly accelerates the rendering of Z-buffered primitives, is presented . Two key concepts make this acceleration possible. The first is to convert the read-modify-write Z-buffer compare and RGBα blend into a single write only operation. The second is to support t...
INTRODUCTION One of the traditional bottlenecks of 3D graphics hardware has been the rate at which pixels can be rendered into a frame buffer. Modern interactive 3D graphics applications require rendering platforms that can support 30 Hz animation of richly detailed 3D scenes. But existing memory technologies cannot de...

Focused Named Entity Recognition Using Machine Learning
In this paper we study the problem of finding most topical named entities among all entities in a document, which we refer to as focused named entity recognition. We show that these focused named entities are useful for many natural language processing applications, such as document summarization , search result rankin...
INTRODUCTION With the rapid growth of online electronic documents, many technologies have been developed to deal with the enormous amount of information, such as automatic summarization , topic detection and tracking, and information retrieval. Among these technologies, a key component is to Permission to make digital ...

Formally Deriving an STG Machine
Starting from P. Sestoft semantics for lazy evaluation, we define a new semantics in which normal forms consist of variables pointing to lambdas or constructions. This is in accordance with the more recent changes in the Spineless Tagless G-machine (STG) machine, where constructions only appear in closures (lambdas onl...
INTRODUCTION The Spineless Tagless G-machine (STG) [6] is at the heart of the Glasgow Haskell Compiler (GHC) [7] which is perhaps the Haskell compiler generating the most efficient code. For a description of Haskell language see [8]. Part of the secret for that is the set of analysis and transformations carried out at ...

Building Bridges for Web Query Classification
Web query classification (QC) aims to classify Web users' queries, which are often short and ambiguous, into a set of target categories. QC has many applications including page ranking in Web search, targeted advertisement in response to queries, and personalization. In this paper, we present a novel approach for QC th...
INTRODUCTION With exponentially increasing information becoming available on the Internet, Web search has become an indispensable tool for Web users to gain desired information. Typi-cally , Web users submit a short Web query consisting of a few words to search engines. Because these queries are short and ambiguous, ho...

Geographically Focused Collaborative Crawling
A collaborative crawler is a group of crawling nodes, in which each crawling node is responsible for a specific portion of the web. We study the problem of collecting geographically -aware pages using collaborative crawling strategies. We first propose several collaborative crawling strategies for the geographically fo...
INTRODUCTION While most of the current search engines are effective for pure keyword-oriented searches, these search engines are not fully effective for geographic-oriented keyword searches. For instance, queries like "restaurants in New York, NY" or "good plumbers near 100 milam street, Houston, TX" or "romantic hotel...

GraalBench: A 3D Graphics Benchmark Suite for Mobile Phones
In this paper we consider implementations of embedded 3D graphics and provide evidence indicating that 3D benchmarks employed for desktop computers are not suitable for mobile environments. Consequently, we present GraalBench, a set of 3D graphics workloads representative for contemporary and emerging mobile devices . ...
INTRODUCTION In recent years, mobile computing devices have been used for a broader spectrum of applications than mobile telephony or personal digital assistance. Several companies expect that 3D graphics applications will become an important workload of wireless devices. For example, according to [10], the number of u...

Handoff Trigger Table for Integrated 3G/WLAN Networks
Vertical handoff is a switching process between heterogeneous wireless networks in a hybrid 3G/WLAN network. Vertical handoffs fromWLAN to 3G network often fail due to the abrupt degrade of the WLAN signal strength in the transition areas. In this paper, a Handoff Trigger Table is introduced to improve the performance ...
INTRODUCTION With the emergence of different wireless technologies, which are developed for different purposes, the integration of these wireless networks has attracted much attention from both academia and industry. Among them, the integration of 3G cellular networks and wireless local access networks (WLAN) has becom...
