A predicate P : {−1, 1}k → {0, 1} can be associated with a constraint satisfaction problem Max CSP(P). P is called “approximation resistant” if Max CSP(P) cannot be approxi...
Abstract— The paper considers the algorithm NLU for distributed (vector) parameter estimation in sensor networks, where, the local observation models are nonlinear, and inter-sen...
In deletion propagation, tuples from the database are deleted in order to reflect the deletion of a tuple from the view. Such an operation may result in the (often necessary) del...
Identifying the patterns of large data sets is a key requirement in data mining. A powerful technique for this purpose is the principal component analysis (PCA). PCA-based clusteri...
Model learning combined with dynamic programming has been shown to be e ective for learning control of continuous state dynamic systems. The simplest method assumes the learned mod...
