Exploiting Knowledge in Health Services

Towards organizing health knowledge on community-based health services

Online community-based health services accumulate a huge amount of unstructured health question answering (QA) records at a continuously increasing pace. The ability to organize these health QA records has been found to be effective for data access. The existing approaches for organizing information are often not applicable to health domain due to its domain nature as characterized by complex r...

Exploiting Visualization in Knowledge Discovery

Todate visualization has not been extensively harnessed in knowledge discovery in databases (KDD). In this paper, we show that a multidimensional visualization (MDV) technique can be used synergistically with a machine learning program like C4.5 to uncover new knowledge. Used together, the two approaches span the KDD spectrum between complete automation on one hand and fully manual on the other...

Exploiting Partial Operand Knowledge

Conventional microprocessor designs treat register operands as atomic units. In such designs, no portion of an operand may be consumed until the entire operand has been produced. In practice, logic circuits and arithmetic units that generate some portion of an operand in advance of the remaining portions are both feasible and desirable, and have been employed in several existing designs. In thi...

Exploiting Processor Heterogeneity in Interactive Services

To add processing power under power constraints, emerging heterogeneous processors include fast and slow cores on the same chip. This paper demonstrates that this heterogeneity is well suited to interactive data center workloads (e.g., web search, online gaming, and financial trading) by observing and exploiting two workload properties. (1) These workloads may trade response quality for respons...
