Temporal difference (TD) algorithms are attractive for reinforcement learning due to their ease-of-implementation and use of "bootstrapped" return estimates to make effi...
The growing nature of databases, and the flexibility inherent in the SQL query language that allows arbitrarily complex formulations, can result in queries that take inordinate am...
We present a new bit-parallel technique for approximate string matching. We build on two previous techniques. The first one, BPM [Myers, J. of the ACM, 1999], searches for a patte...
The strongest well-known measure for the quality of a universal hash-function family H is its being -strongly universal, which measures, for randomly chosen h H, one's inabi...
In practical applications of area-to-point spatial interpolation, inequality constraints, such as non-negativity, or more general constraints on the maximum and/or minimum allowab...
