The mean-variance methodology for the portfolio selection problem, originally proposed by Markowitz, has been one of the most important research fields in modern finance. In this ...
We initiate an investigation of general fault-tolerant distributed computation in the full-information model. In the full information model no restrictions are made on the computat...
It has long been known that lateral inhibition in neural networks can lead to a winner-take-all competition, so that only a single neuron is active at a steady state. Here we show...

Much work has been done on learning various classes of "simple" monotone functions under the uniform distribution. In this paper we give the first unconditional lower bo...
We present a technique for rapid capture of high quality bidirectional reflection distribution functions(BRDFs) of surface points. Our method represents the BRDF at each point by ...
