A novel framework for providing probabilistically-bounded approximate answers to non-holistic aggregate range queries in OLAP is presented in this paper. Such a framework allows u...
The Positive-Negative Partial Set Cover problem is introduced and its complexity, especially the hardness-of-approximation, is studied. The problem generalizes the Set Cover probl...
We consider a two-layer network algorithm. The first layer consists of an uncountable number of linear units. Each linear unit is an LMS algorithm whose inputs are first “kerne...
The problem of interest is covering a given point set with homothetic copies of several convex containers C1,...,Ck, while the objective is to minimize the maximum over the dilatat...
We extend the standard solution to comic rendering with a comic-style specular component. To minimise the computational overhead associated with this extension, we introduce two o...
