We study the problem of clustering discrete probability distributions with respect to the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence. This problem arises naturally in many applications. Our...
In many applications of temporal reasoning we are in terested in reasoning incrementally In particular, given a CSP of temporal constrains and a new constraint, we want to maint...
This work examines algebraic techniques for comparing quadratic algebraic numbers, thus yielding methods for deciding key predicates in various geometric constructions. Our motiva...
Groundwater long-term monitoring (LTM) is required to assess the performance of groundwater remediation and human being health risk at post-closure sites where groundwater contami...
A simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA) method has been developed in this paper, using the operators of perturbation with the Lipschitz density function. This ...
