Monte Carlo integration is a powerful technique for the evaluation of difficult integrals. Applications in rendering include distribution ray tracing, Monte Carlo path tracing, a...
This paper presents a novel method that effectively combines both control variates and importance sampling in a sequential Monte Carlo context. The radiance estimates computed dur...
An approach to simultaneous document classification and word clustering is developed using a two-way mixture model of Poisson distributions. Each document is represented by a vect...
The K-Closest-Pairs Query (K-CPQ), a type of distance join in spatial databases, discovers the K pairs of objects formed from two different datasets with the K smallest distances....
