Given a graph G = (V, E) and a positive integer k, the PARTITION INTO CLIQUES (PIC) decision problem consists of deciding whether there exists a partition of V into k disjoint sub...
Classical rate-distortion theory requires knowledge of an elusive source distribution. Instead, we analyze rate-distortion properties of individual objects using the recently devel...
Partially observable stochastic games (POSGs) provide a rich mathematical framework for planning under uncertainty by a group of agents. However, this modeling advantage comes wit...
Finite mixture model is a powerful tool in many statistical learning problems. In this paper, we propose a general, structure-preserving approach to reduce its model complexity, w...
We study the problem of estimating selectivity of approximate substring queries. Its importance in databases is ever increasing as more and more data are input by users and are in...
