Boost K-Means
Due to its simplicity and versatility, k-means remains popular since it was proposed three decades ago. Since then, continuous efforts have been taken to enhance its performance. Unfortunately, a good trade-off between quality and efficiency is hardly reached. In this paper, a novel k-means variant is presented. Different from most of k-means variants, the clustering procedure is explicitly dri...
متن کاملCrowd IQ: aggregating opinions to boost performance
We show how the quality of decisions based on the aggregated opinions of the crowd can be conveniently studied using a sample of individual responses to a standard IQ questionnaire. We aggregated the responses to the IQ questionnaire using simple majority voting and a machine learning approach based on a probabilistic graphical model. The score for the aggregated questionnaire, Crowd IQ, serves...
متن کاملUsing Recursion to Boost ATLAS's Performance
We investigate the performance benefits of a novel recursive formulation of Strassen’s algorithm over highly tuned matrix-multiply (MM) routines, such as the widely used ATLAS for high-performance systems. We combine Strassen’s recursion with high-tuned version of ATLAS MM and we present a family of recursive algorithms achieving up to 15% speed-up over ATLAS alone. We show experimental results...
متن کاملDiameter performance boost
One of the basic requirements of service providers is to deliver fast processing, highly available, scalable, redundant and unobtrusive AAA services. In this paper we present incorporation of Diameter service into a legacy switching system. Our approach is based on a component architecture and the use of open source software to speed-up the development cycle. The main idea is to multiply critic...
متن کاملAltering regulatory T cell function in cancer immunotherapy: a novel means to boost the efficacy of cancer vaccines.
Cancers express tumor associated antigens that should elicit immune attack, but spontaneous immune rejection of established cancer is rare. Recent data demonstrate that specific and active tumor-mediated mechanisms hinder host anti-tumor immunity. CD4+CD25+ T regulatory cells (Tregs) are important mediators of active immune evasion in cancer. Disrupting tumor-mediated mechanisms hindering host ...
