High-dimensional data sets are inherently sparse and hence, can be transformed to lower dimensions without losing too much information about the classes. In this paper we propose a new feature ranking algorithm, termed as, class-dependent density-based feature elimination, for binary data sets. CDFE uses a measure termed as, diff-criterion, to estimate the relevance of features. […]
Citation Parser using Sequent Alignment
Parsing citations is essential for integrating bibliographical information published on the Internet. Most citation management techniques are based on the assumption that we can correctly identify the main components of a citation, such as authors’ names, title, publication venue, date, and the number of pages. In this paper, we propose a sequence-alignment based citation parser, […]
Adaptive Opportunistic Routing for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
A distributed adaptive opportunistic routing scheme for multihop wireless ad hoc networks is proposed. The proposed scheme utilizes a reinforcement learning framework to opportunistically route the packets even in the absence of reliable knowledge about channel statistics and network model. This scheme is shown to be optimal with respect to an expected average per-packet reward […]
An Autonomous Engine for Services Configuration and Deployment
The runtime management of the infrastructure providing service-based systems is a complex task, up to the point where manual operation struggles to be cost effective. As the functionality is provided by a set of dynamically composed distributed services, in order to achieve a management objective multiple operations have to be applied over the distributed elements […]
