The notion of embedding a class of dichotomies in a class of linear half spaces is central to the support vector machines paradigm. We examine the question of determining the mini...
— Finding the k nearest neighbors (kNN) of a query point, or a set of query points (kNN-Join) are fundamental problems in many application domains. Many previous efforts to solve...
We study efficient importance sampling techniques for particle filtering (PF) when either (a) the observation likelihood (OL) is frequently multimodal or heavy-tailed, or (b) the s...
Topological relationships between spatial objects represent important knowledge that users of geographic information systems expect to retrieve from a spatial database. A di cult t...

Abstract. We discuss periodization of smooth functions f of d variables for approximation of multivariate integrals. The benefit of periodization is that we may use lattice rules,...
