Making sense of science: Sometimes plagiarized, sometimes not!

The Benefits of Sometimes Not Being Discrete

Discrete representations of systems are usual in theoretical computer science and they have many benefits. Unfortunately they also suffer from the problem of state space explosion, sometimes termed the curse of dimensionality. In recent years, research has shown that there are cases in which we can reap the benefits of discrete representation during system description but then gain from more ef...

Sometimes Less Is More: Romanian Word Sense Disambiguation Revisited

Recent approaches to Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) generally fall into two classes: (1) information-intensive approaches and (2) information-poor approaches. Our hypothesis is that for memory-based learning (MBL), a reduced amount of data is more beneficial than the full range of features used in the past. Our experiments show that MBL combined with a restricted set of features and a feature ...

Making argument systems for outsourced computation practical (sometimes)

This paper describes the design, implementation, and evaluation of a system for performing verifiable outsourced computation. It has long been known that (1) this problem can be solved in theory using probabilistically checkable proofs (PCPs) coupled with modern cryptographic tools, and (2) these solutions have wholly impractical performance, according to the conventional (and well-founded) wis...
