Death of a few celebrated truths and others still worth re-stating

Good Predictions Are Worth a Few Comparisons

Most modern processors are heavily parallelized and use predictors to guess the outcome of conditional branches, in order to avoid costly stalls in their pipelines. We propose predictorfriendly versions of two classical algorithms: exponentiation by squaring and binary search in a sorted array. These variants result in less mispredictions on average, at the cost of an increased number of operat...

A few scope details still need attention.

International reproductive health still worth the investment.

The United States has been a global leader in the international population arena for nearly 50 years. United States investments in maternal, reproductive and sexual health programs have been a tremendous success, saving and improving many millions of lives. But many challenges remain, and the collective education and advocacy efforts of the sexual and reproductive health community can help over...

Web Spam Classification: a Few Features Worth More

In this paper we investigate how much various classes of Web spam features, some requiring very high computational effort, add to the classification accuracy. We realize that advances in machine learning, an area that has received less attention in the adversarial IR community, yields more improvement than new features and result in low cost yet accurate spam filters. Our original contributions...
