The Non-negative Matrix Factorization technique (NMF) has been recently proposed for dimensionality reduction. NMF is capable to produce a region- or partbased representation of o...
It is known that the dynamics of best response in an environment of non-cooperative users may converge to a good solution when users play sequentially, but may cycle far away from...
The paper presents and evaluates the power of best-first search over AND/OR search spaces in graphical models. The main virtue of the AND/OR representation is its sensitivity to ...
Suppose that n > (log k)ck , where c is a fixed positive constant. We prove that no matter how the edges of Kn are colored with k colors, there is a copy of K4 whose edges rece...
An important problem in discrete-event stochastic simulation is the selection of the best system from a finite set of alternatives. There are many techniques for ranking and selec...
