Abstract. Renyi’s entropy-based criterion has been proposed as an objective function for independent component analysis because of its relationship with Shannon’s entropy and i...
— Recent work on robotic exploration and active sensing has examined a variety of information-theoretic approaches to efficient and convergent map construction. These involve mo...
Abstract. This paper explores the possibility of using a modified Expectation-Maximization algorithm to estimate parameters for a simple hierarchical generative model for XML retr...
— We seek to maximize the data throughput of an energy and time constrained transmitter sending data over a fading channel. The transmitter has a fixed amount of energy and a li...
