To optimize network performance, cloud service providers have a number of options available to them, including co-locating production servers in well-connected Internet eXchange (...
We investigate usefulness of across-phone variability for speaker recognition in a joint factor analysis (JFA) framework. We estimate the variability as across-phone covariance wi...
The paper addresses object localization via a distributed sensor network. A centralized estimation approach is undertaken along with a selective node activation strategy to ensure...
When pricing options via Monte Carlo simulations, precision can be improved either by performing longer simulations, or by reducing the variance of the estimators. In this paper, ...
