We address the problem of discretization of continuous variables for machine learning classification algorithms. Existing procedures do not use interdependence between the variables towards this goal. Our proposed method uses clustering to exploit such interdependence. Numerical results show that this improves the classification performance in almost all cases. Even if an existing algorithm can successfully operate with continuous variables, better performance is obtained if variables are first discretized. An additional advantage of discretization is that it reduces the overall time-complexity.

Recently the Khronos group has released an open specification for OpenCL, the Open Computation Language. OpenCL strives to create a standard language for programming novel computer architectures such as the multi-core CPU, the GPU and accelerators. The programming model is similar to Nvidia's CUDA. UniverCL is a partial implementation of the OpenCL 1.0 Specification that has enough functionality to demonstrate the major components of the specification. It currently includes support for two hardware devices: the multi-core CPU and the Cell Broadband Engine. This technical report captures the work done in Phase I of UniverCL's development and outlines Phase II of …

Web applications are no longer simple hyperlinked documents. They have progressively evolved to become highly complex---web pages combine content from several sources (with varying levels of trustworthiness), and incorporate significant portions of client-side code. However, the prevailing web protection model, the same-origin policy, has not adequately evolved to manage the security consequences of this additional complexity. As a result, web applications have become attractive targets of exploitation. We argue that this disconnection between the protection needs of modern web applications and the protection models used by web browsers that manage those applications amounts to a failure of access control. In …
