We investigate a new, convex relaxation of an expectation-maximization (EM) variant that approximates a standard objective while eliminating local minima. First, a cautionary resu...
In recent years, compositional modeling and selfexplanatory simulation techniques have simplified the process of building dynamic simulators of physical systems. Building steady-s...
We present a problem of factor analysis of three-way binary data, i.e. data described by a 3-dimensional binary matrix I, describing a relationship between objects, attributes, an...
Selecting a small set of nodes called pivots, from all the nodes in a network and maintaining the routing infrastructure to and among each other can reduce routing overhead and ex...
This paper aims at a discussion of the structure of the SLAM problem. The analysis is not strictly formal but based both on informal studies and mathematical derivation. The first ...
