A Plan for Optimizing Network-Intensive Cloud Applications
(2013-02-12)
A significant and growing number of applications deployed on cloud infrastructures are network-intensive. These applications are frequently bottlenecked by the speed of network connections between the machines on which ...
Tracking 3-D Rotations with the Quaternion Bingham Filter
(2013-03-27)
A deterministic method for sequential estimation of 3-D rotations is presented. The Bingham distribution is used to represent uncertainty directly on the unit quaternion hypersphere. Quaternions avoid the degeneracies of ...
Mixed-Language Arabic- English Information Retrieval
(2013)
This thesis attempts to address the problem of mixed querying in CLIR. It proposes mixed-language (language-aware) approaches in which mixed queries are used to retrieve most relevant documents, regardless of their languages. ...
Code for Java Libraries for Accessing the Princeton Wordnet: Comparison and Evaluation
(2013-11-01)
This archive contains the code and data for running the evaluations described in: Finlayson, Mark Alan (2014) "Java Libraries for Accessing the Princeton Wordnet: comparison and Evaluation" in Proceedings of the 7th Global ...
3D Tracking via Body Radio Reflections
(2013-12-11)
This paper introduces WiTrack, a system that tracks the 3D motion of a user from the radio signals reflected off her body. It works even if the person is occluded from the WiTrack device or in a different room. WiTrack ...
GenBase: A Complex Analytics Genomics Benchmark
(2013-11-19)
This paper introduces a new benchmark, designed to test database management system (DBMS) performance on a mix of data management tasks (joins, filters, etc.) and complex analytics (regression, singular value decomposition, ...
Asynchronous Failure Detectors
(2013-10-10)
Failure detectors -- oracles that provide information about process crashes -- are an important abstraction for crash tolerance in distributed systems. The generality of failure-detector theory, while providing great ...
OpenTuner: An Extensible Framework for Program Autotuning
(2013-11-01)
Program autotuning has been shown to achieve better or more portable performance in a number of domains. However, autotuners themselves are rarely portable between projects, for a number of reasons: using a domain-informed ...
Synthesis of Randomized Accuracy-Aware Map-Fold Programs
(2013-12-29)
We present Syndy, a technique for automatically synthesizing randomized map/fold computations that trade accuracy for performance. Given a specification of a fully accurate computation, Syndy automatically synthesizes ...
On Randomized Path Coverage of Configuration Spaces
(2013-11-18)
We present a sampling-based algorithm that generates a set of locally-optimal paths that differ in visibility.
