In this thesis we design online combinatorial optimization algorithms for beyond worst-case analysis settings.In the first part, we discuss the online matching problem and prove that, in the edge arrival model, no online algorithm can achieve a competiti ...
In a non-uniform memory access machine, the placement of software threads to hardware cores can have a significant effect on the performance of concurrent applications. Detecting the best possible placement for each application is a necessity for thread sc ...
The speaker diarization system developed at the International Computer Science Institute (ICSI) has played a prominent role in the speaker diarization community, and many researchers in the rich transcription community have adopted methods and techniques d ...
In this letter we present a versatile trajectory optimization framework that leverages a fused kinematic-dynamic bicycle model for highly dynamic vehicle drifting maneuvers. Our framework can be used online to generate drifting maneuvers, offline to plan d ...
In this work, we resolve a big challenge that most current image quality metrics (IQMs) are unavailable across different image contents, especially simultaneously coping with natural scene (NS) images or screen content (SC) images. By comparison with exist ...
The ubiquity of social media in our daily life, the intense user participation, and the explosion of multimedia content have generated an extraordinary interest from computer and social scientists to investigate the traces left by users to understand human ...
As online shopping becomes ever more prevalent, customers rely increasingly on product rating websites for making purchase decisions. The reliability of online ratings, however, is potentially compromised by the so-called herding effect: when rating a prod ...
The extensive and successful use of social media has enhanced and empowered a variety of movements all over the world in a way that is hard to achieve through conventional means. This has led to numerous studies that leverage online social data to describe ...
Portability, flexibility and extensibility are essential features of social media platforms. When such Web platforms are able to take user's context into account, they provide better user experience and enhance the effectiveness of users' actions. In this ...
The Online Chemical Modeling Environment is a web-based platform that aims to automate and simplify the typical steps required for QSAR modeling. The platform consists of two major subsystems: the database of experimental measurements and the modeling fram ...
