It is well known that antipodal grasps can be achieved on curved objects in the presence of friction. This paper presents an efficient algorithm that finds, up to numerical reso...
We apply the auxiliary particle filter algorithm of Pitt and Shephard (1999) to the problem of robot localization. To deal with the high-dimensional sensor observations (images) ...
Task graphs are used for scheduling tasks on parallel processors when the tasks have dependencies. If the execution of the program is known ahead of time, then the tasks can be st...
The statistical perspective on boosting algorithms focuses on optimization, drawing parallels with maximum likelihood estimation for logistic regression. In this paper we present ...
Background: Genome sequence alignments form the basis of much research. Genome alignment depends on various mundane but critical choices, such as how to mask repeats and which sco...
