Abstract Thanks to the rapid advances in artificial intelligence, a brand new venue for database performance optimization is through deep neural networks and reinforcement learning paradigm. Alongside long literature this regime, an iconic crucial problem index structure building. For problem, prior works have largely adopted pure learning-based solution replacing traditional methods such as B-...

This paper proposes an algorithm for studying spectral contents of pitched sounds in real-world recordings. We assume that the 2-order difference, w.r.t. partial index, of a pitched sound is bounded by some small positive value, rather than equal to 0 in a perfect harmonic case. Given a spectrum and a fundamental frequency f0, the algorithm searches the spectrum for partials that can be associa...

In this talk I review three fatal flaws of the DGP braneworld model, which has been put forward as a possible model for late time acceleration without a cosmological constant; Ghosts, Cosmological Crashes, and Instability of the 5D vacuum. The talk is based on work in collaboration with Charmousis, Kaloper, Myers and Padilla. 2) (The title refers to a film: The three burials of Melquiades Estra...
