Experimental System for Visualization of the Light Load
This paper presents our work on an experimental system for visualization of the light load. The light load is thought as the total amount of light radiation received by all areas ...

Monte-Carlo optimizations for resource allocation problems in stochastic network systems
Real-world distributed systems and networks are often unreliable and subject to random failures of its components. Such a stochastic behavior affects adversely the complexity of o...

Fully Automatic Elastic Registration of MR Images with Statistical Feature Extraction
We present a fully automatic scheme for the registration of MR images. The registration is carried out as a combination of an affine and an elastic transformation. The affine part...

Monte Carlo Theory as an Explanation of Bagging and Boosting
In this paper we propose the framework of Monte Carlo algorithms as a useful one to analyze ensemble learning. In particular, this framework allows one to guess when bagging will ...
