Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) is a powerful feature extraction method for finding parts-based, linear representations of non-negative data . Inherently, it is unsupervis...
Approximate linear programming (ALP) has emerged recently as one of the most promising methods for solving complex factored MDPs with finite state spaces. In this work we show th...
Let f(X, Y ) ∈ Z[X, Y ] be an irreducible polynomial over Q. We give a Las Vegas absolute irreducibility test based on a property of the Newton polytope of f, or more precisely,...
There are various situations where a distinction needs to be made between group members and outsiders. For example, to protect students in chat groups from unpleasant incidents ca...
A number of people are exchanging e-mail messages everyday using mobile phones and PDAs. E-mail is useful not only for oneto-one communication but group communication through mail...
