An estimation algorithm for a query is a probabilistic algorithm that computes an approximation for the size (number of tuples) of the query. One class of estimation algorithms us...
Abstract. In this paper we discuss new adaptive proposal strategies for sequential Monte Carlo algorithms--also known as particle filters--relying on new criteria evaluating the qu...
We present a novel aggressive visibility preprocessing technique for general 3D scenes. Our technique exploits commodity graphics hardware and is faster than most conservative sol...
We study the prevalent problem when a test distribution differs from the training distribution. We consider a setting where our training set consists of a small number of sample d...

Recent research on point-based surface representations suggests that point sets may be a viable alternative to parametric surface representations in applications where the topolog...
