Statistical estimation and approximate query processing have become increasingly prevalent applications for database systems. However, approximation is usually of little use witho...
We prove that the concept class of disjunctions cannot be pointwise approximated by linear combinations of any small set of arbitrary real-valued functions. That is, suppose there ...
In many computer graphics and computer-aided design problems, it is very common to find a smooth and well structured surface to fit a set of unstructured 3-dimensional data. Altho...
Multiobjective optimization in general aims at learning about the problem at hand. Usually the focus lies on objective space properties such as the front shape and the distributio...
The problem of obtaining the maximum a posteriori estimate of a general discrete random field (i.e. a random field defined using a finite and discrete set of labels) is known ...
