Lanctot, Marc, Gibson, Richard, Burch, Neil, Szafron, Duane
In large extensive form games with imperfect information, Counterfactual Regret Minimization (CFR) is a popular, iterative algorithm for computing approximate Nash equilibria. While the base algorithm performs a full tree traversal on each iteration, Monte Carlo CFR (MCCFR) reduces the per...

Cutumisu, M., McNaughton, M., Parker, D., Schaeffer, Jonathan, Redford, J., Szafron, Duane
Technical report TR04-05. Recently, some researchers have argued that generative design patterns (GDPs) can leverage the obvious design re-use that characterizes traditional design patterns into code re-use. This paper provides additional evidence that GDPs are both useful and productive. ...

Proteome Analyst - Transparent High-throughput Protein Annotation: Function, Localization and Custom Predictors
Download2003
Lu, Z., Eisner, Roman, Lu, Paul, Macdonell, Cam, Szafron, Duane, Greiner, Russell, Poulin, B., Wishart, David, Anvik, J., Habibi-Nazhad, B.
Technical report TR03-05. Modern sequencing technology now permits the sequencing of entire genomes, leading to thousands of new gene sequences in need of detailed annotation. It is too time consuming to predict the properties of each protein sequence manually and to organize the results of many...

Technical report TR03-13. Parallel programming is seen as an effective technique to improve the performance of computationally-intensive programs. This is done at the cost of increasing the complexity of the program, since new issues must be addressed for a concurrent application. Parallel...

Technical report TR03-14. Identifying the destination or localization of proteins is key to understanding their function and facilitating their purification. A number of existing computational prediction methods are based on sequence analysis. However, these methods are limited in scope, accuracy...

Technical report TR03-09. Naive Bayes classifiers, a popular tool for predicting the labels of query instances, are typically learned from a training set. However, since many training sets contain noisy data, a classifier user may be reluctant to blindly trust a predicted label. We present a...

Technical report TR01-10. For two DNA or protein sequences of length m and n, dynamic programming alignment algorithms like Needleman-Wunsch and Smith-Waterman take O(m x n) time and use O(m x n) space, so we refer to them as full matrix (FM) algorithms. This space requirement means that large...

Ozsu, M. Tamer, Szafron, Duane, Leontiev, Yuri
Technical report TR98-02. In this paper we present a model that supports a clean separation between the concepts of interface, implementation, and representation. We present several problems that are difficult to solve in the absence of such separation and describe how the proposed model can be...

Modeling and Querying Multimedia Data
1998
Technical report TR98-05. Amidst the dramatic developments of computer technology in the last decades, we have seen a growing interest in supporting multimedia data. Compared with traditional data, the most noticeable features of multimedia data are their spatiality (the spatial layout of...

Technical report TR98-01. In this paper we present a type system that combines inclusion and parametric polymorphism with behaviors (multi-methods) and precise function typing. Type declarations allow user-definable variance specification of type parameters and user-definable subtyping between...
