Parallel Matrix-Vector Product Using Approximate Hierarchical Methods
Matrix-vector products (mat-vecs) form the core of iterative methods used for solving dense linear systems. Often, these systems arise in the solution of integral equations used i...

New Online EM Algorithms for General Hidden Markov Models. Application to the SLAM Problem
In this contribution, new online EM algorithms are proposed to perform inference in general hidden Markov models. These algorithms update the parameter at some deterministic times ...
