We present a new layered, hardware-accelerated splatting algorithm for volume rendering. Layered volume splatting features the speed benefits of fast axis-aligned pre-classified ...
Abstract. Recent works have shown the advantage of using Active Learning methods, such as the Query by Committee (QBC) algorithm, to various learning problems. This class of Algori...
Abstract. A popular framework for the interpretation of image sequences is the layers or sprite model, see e.g. [1], [2]. Jojic and Frey [3] provide a generative probabilistic mode...
We study how to find plans that maximize the expected total utility for a given MDP, a planning objective that is important for decision making in high-stakes domains. The optimal...
We present different techniques for reducing the number of states and transitions in nondeterministic automata. These techniques are based on the two preorders over the set of st...
