Optimization Algorithms for Deterministic, Stochastic and Reinforcement Learning Settings
(2018-05-30)
Optimization is a very important field with diverse applications in physical, social and biological sciences and in various areas of engineering. It appears widely in ma-chine learning, information retrieval, regression, ...
Incentive Design for Crowdfunding and Crowdsourcing Markets
(2018-05-23)
With the ever-increasing trend in the number of social interactions getting intermediated by technology (the world wide web) as the backdrop, this thesis focuses on the design of mechanisms for online communities (crowds) ...
Fast Actively Secure OT Extension for Short Secrets
(2018-05-25)
Oblivious Transfer (OT) is one of the most fundamental cryptographic primitives with wide-spread application in general secure multi-party computation (MPC) as well as in a number of tailored and special-purpose problems ...
Hard Drive Failure Prediction : A Rule Based Approach
(2011-07-12)
The ability to accurately predict an impending hard disk failure is important for reliable storage system design. The facility provided by most hard drive manufacturers, called S.M.A.R.T. (self-monitoring, analysis and ...
Large Scale Graph Processing in a Distributed Environment
(2018-05-25)
Graph algorithms are ubiquitously used across domains. They exhibit parallelism, which can be exploited on parallel architectures, such as multi-core processors and accelerators. However, real world graphs are massive in ...
Near-Duplicate Detection Using Instance Level Constraints
(2011-08-09)
For the task of near-duplicate document detection, comparison approaches based on bag-of-words used in information retrieval community are not sufficiently accurate. This work presents novel approach when instance-level ...
