We study an approximation for the zero-variance change of measure to estimate the probability of a rare event in a continuous-time Markov chain. The rare event occurs when the cha...

Continuous queries are used to monitor changes to time varying data and to provide results useful for online decision making. Typically a user desires to obtain the value of some ...
Robust model selection procedures control the undue influence that outliers can have on the selection criteria by using both robust point estimators and a bounded loss function wh...
We introduce streaming tree transducers as an analyzable and expressive model for transforming hierarchically structured data in a single pass. Given a linear encoding of the inpu...
Abstract-- We consider problems where multiple agents cooperate to control their individual state so as to optimize a common objective while communicating with each other to exchan...
