Existing methods to search for an optimum Bayesian network su er when the size of the data set grows to be too large. The number of possible networks grows superexponentially in the number of variables, and it becomes increasingly time-consuming to get reasonable results; in fact, nding an exact optimal network for a given data set is an NP-complete problem, so the question is often to nd a net...

Clustering means grouping target objects into different clusters in such a way, that each cluster contains similar objects and the objects in different clusters are dissimilar in a ceratin way. The main question of clustering is how to define the similarity and dissimilarity of the objects, and how to verify that the resulting clusters are good enough for a given purpose. There exist several me...

Modern storage systems employing quorum replication are often configured to use partial, non-strict quorums. These systems wait only for a subset of their replicas to respond to a request before returning an answer, without guaranteeing that read and write replica sets intersect. While these partial quorum mechanisms provide only basic eventual consistency guarantees, with no limit to the recen...
