A framework to assess transient performance measures is introduced by generalizing the theory of the quasi Birthand-Death (QBD) paradigm to QBDs with marked time epochs (QBDm ). T...
This paper addresses the problem of transductive learning of the kernel matrix from a probabilistic perspective. We define the kernel matrix as a Wishart process prior and construc...
— Many modern computer vision algorithms are built atop of a set of low-level feature operators (such as SIFT [1], [2]; HOG [3], [4]; or LBP [5], [6]) that transform raw pixel va...
—The delivery of latency sensitive packets is a crucial issue in real time applications of communication networks. Such packets often have a firm deadline and a packet becomes u...
We study a generalization of the k-median problem with respect to an arbitrary dissimilarity measure D. Given a finite set P of size n, our goal is to find a set C of size k such t...
