In this paper we propose an error control scheme for video communications over lossy channels. The proposed algorithm uses stochastic frame buffers(SFB) to determine the expected ...
Rate-distortion (RD) optimized intra-prediction mode selection can lead to significant improvement in coding efficiency in intraframe encoding. However, it would incur considerabl...
This paper describes Pairwise Bisection: a nonparametric approach to optimizing a noisy function with few function evaluations. The algorithm uses nonparametric reasoning about si...
We consider a robust model proposed by Scarf, 1958, for stochastic optimization when only the marginal probabilities of (binary) random variables are given, and the correlation be...
Late CMOS scaling reduces device reliability, and existing work has studied the permanent SER (soft error rate) for configuration memory in FPGA extensively. In this paper, we sh...
