Subspace clustering refers to the problem of clustering unlabeled high-dimensional data points into a union of low-dimensional linear subspaces, whose number, orientations, and dimensions are all unknown. In practice one may have access to…
Deep learning applications are usually very compute-intensive and require a long run time for training and inference. This has been tackled by researchers from both hardware and software sides, and in this paper, we propose a Roofline-based…
Simulation-based inference (SBI) enables parameter inference by training neural networks on forward simulations. It is being applied both for intractable likelihoods as well as under time constraints on the posterior sampling. After…
Spherical k-Means is frequently used to cluster document collections because it performs reasonably well in many settings and is computationally efficient. However, the time complexity increases linearly with the number of clusters k, which…
Most approaches to Open-Domain Question Answering consist of a light-weight retriever that selects a set of candidate passages, and a computationally expensive reader that examines the passages to identify the correct answer. Previous works…
In a previous paper it was shown that a machine learning regression problem can be solved within the framework of random function theory, with the optimal kernel analytically derived from symmetry and indifference principles and coinciding…
Top-k and skylines are two important techniques that can be used to extract the best objects from a set. Both the approaches have well-known pros and cons: a quite big limitation of skyline queries is the impossibility to control the…
Multi-objective optimization is the problem of optimizing simultaneously multiple objective functions and several techniques exist to deal with this problem. This paper aims to present the main methods that can be used to solve this issue…
Spatial intelligence is emerging as a transformative frontier in AI, yet it remains constrained by the scarcity of large-scale 3D datasets. Unlike the abundant 2D imagery, acquiring 3D data typically requires specialized sensors and…
Skyline and ranking queries are two of the most used tools to manage large data sets. The former is based on non-dominance, while the latter on a scoring function. Despite their effectiveness, they have some drawbacks like the result size…
This paper presents a hybrid approach to spatial indexing of two dimensional data. It sheds new light on the age old problem by thinking of the traditional algorithms as working with images. Inspiration is drawn from an analogous situation…
In large-scale image retrieval, many indexing methods have been proposed to narrow down the searching scope of retrieval. The features extracted from images usually are of high dimensions or unfixed sizes due to the existence of key points.…
In the big data era, the key feature that each algorithm needs to have is the possibility of efficiently running in parallel in a distributed environment. The popular Silhouette metric to evaluate the quality of a clustering, unfortunately,…
A package query returns a package - a multiset of tuples - that maximizes or minimizes a linear objective function subject to linear constraints, thereby enabling in-database decision support. Prior work has established the equivalence of…
The aim of this paper is to generalize the algorithm to compute jumping numbers on rational surfaces described in [AAD14] to varieties of dimension at least 3. Therefore, we introduce the notion of $\pi$-antieffective divisors, generalizing…
We summarise the properties of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) project, discuss our software infrastructure, and outline the architecture of the SDSS image processing pipelines. We then discuss two of the algorithms used in the SDSS…
Range queries over multidimensional data are an important part of database workloads in many applications. Their execution may be accelerated by using multidimensional index structures (MDIS), such as kd-trees or R-trees. As for most index…
In this paper, we revisit the problem of indexing multi-dimensional data in memory for the efficient support of multi-dimensional range queries and nearest neighbor queries. This is a classic problem in main-memory databases, where there is…
