Towards Continuous Compounding Effects and Agile Practices in Educational Experimentation
Luis M. Vaquero, Niall Twomey, Miguel Patricio Dias +2
Randomised control trials are currently the definitive gold standard approach for formal educational experiments. Although conclusions from these experiments are highly credible, t…
Evaluation of Field-Aware Neural Ranking Models for Recipe Search
Kentaro Takiguchi, Mikhail Fain, Niall Twomey +1
Explicitly modelling field interactions and correlations in complex document structures has recently gained popularity in neural document embedding and retrieval tasks. Although th…
Disaggregated Memory at the Edge
Luis M Vaquero, Yehia Elkhatib, Felix Cuadrado
This paper describes how to augment techniques such as Distributed Shared Memory with recent trends on disaggregated Non Volatile Memory in the data centre so that the combination…
Non-Linear Multiple Field Interactions Neural Document Ranking
Kentaro Takiguchi, Niall Twomey, Luis M. Vaquero
Ranking tasks are usually based on the text of the main body of the page and the actions (clicks) of users on the page. There are other elements that could be leveraged to better c…
Auto-tuning Distributed Stream Processing Systems using Reinforcement Learning
Luis M. Vaquero, Felix Cuadrado
Fine tuning distributed systems is considered to be a craftsmanship, relying on intuition and experience. This becomes even more challenging when the systems need to react in near…
Research Challenges in Nextgen Service Orchestration
Luis M. Vaquero, Felix Cuadrado, Yehia Elkhatib +3
Fog/edge computing, function as a service, and programmable infrastructures, like software-defined networking or network function virtualisation, are becoming ubiquitously used in…
A Manifesto for Future Generation Cloud Computing: Research Directions for the Next Decade
Rajkumar Buyya, Satish Narayana Srirama, Giuliano Casale +22
The Cloud computing paradigm has revolutionised the computer science horizon during the past decade and has enabled the emergence of computing as the fifth utility. It has captured…
Systems for Near Real-Time Analysis of Large-Scale Dynamic Graphs
Luis M. Vaquero, Felix Cuadrado, Matei Ripeanu
Graphs are widespread data structures used to model a wide variety of problems. The sheer amount of data to be processed has prompted the creation of a myriad of systems that help…
xDGP: A Dynamic Graph Processing System with Adaptive Partitioning
Luis Vaquero, Felix Cuadrado, Dionysios Logothetis +1
Many real-world systems, such as social networks, rely on mining efficiently large graphs, with hundreds of millions of vertices and edges. This volume of information requires part…
The Weakness of Weak Ties in the Classroom
Luis M. Vaquero, Manuel Cebrian
Granovetter's "strength of weak ties" hypothesizes that isolated social ties offer limited access to external prospects, while heterogeneous social ties diversify one's opportuniti…
