Metropolis light transport
We present a new Monte Carlo method for solving the light transport problem, inspired by the Metropolis sampling method in computational physics. To render an image, we generate a...

Pipelining with Futures
Pipelining has been used in the design of many PRAM algorithms to reduce their asymptotic running time. Paul, Vishkin, and Wagener (PVW) used the approach in a parallel implementat...

Detecting Very Early Stages of Dementia from Normal Aging with Machine Learning Methods
We used Machine Learning (ML) methods to learn the best decision rules to distinguish normal brain aging from the earliest stages of dementia using subsamples of 198 normal and 244...
