In order to reduce average delay and bandwidth usage in the Web, geographically dispersed servers often store copies of popular objects. For example, with network caching, the origin server stores a master copy of the object and geographically dispersed cache servers pull and store copies of the object. With site replication, objects stored at master are replicated into secondary sites. In this...

Named Entity Recognition became the basis of many Natural Language Processing applications. However, the existing coarsegrained named entity recognizers are insufficient for complex applications such as Question Answering, Internet Search engines or Ontology population. In this paper, we propose a domain distribution approach according to which names which occur in the same domains belong to th...

Out-of-vocabulary name errors in speech recognition create significant problems for downstream language processing, but the fact that they are rare poses challenges for automatic detection, particularly in an open-domain scenario. To address this problem, a multi-task recurrent neural network language model for sentence-level name detection is proposed for use in combination with out-of-vocabul...

Since its first appearance, IP anycast has become essential for critical network services such as the Domain Name System (DNS). Despite this, there has been little attention to independently identifying and characterizing anycast nodes. External evaluation of anycast allows both third-party auditing of its benefits, and is essential to discovering benign masquerading or hostile hijacking of any...

The history of the human race is replete with instances in which the implementation of a new technology renders obsolete one or more facets of a society, such as human beliefs, the infrastructure of an industry, or the method of organization of labor. One such case is the rapid growth of the Internet and the World Wide Web (the Web), and the resulting inadequacy of legal systems to provide need...

We propose a new design for the Domain Name System (DNS) that takes advantage of recent advances in disk storage and multicast distribution technology. In essence, our design consists of geographically distributed servers, called replicated servers, each of which having a complete and up-to-date copy of the entire DNS database. To keep the replicated servers up-to-date, they distribute new reso...
