Abstract. To develop statistical models for shapes, we utilize an elastic string representation where curves (denoting shapes) can bend and locally stretch (or compress) to optimal...

Earth Mover Distance (EMD) is a popular distance to compute distances between Probability Density Functions (PDFs). It has been successfully applied in a wide selection of problem...
One approach to modeling structured discrete data is to describe the probability of states via an energy function and Gibbs distribution. A recurring difficulty in these models is...

We give the first optimal algorithm for estimating the number of distinct elements in a data stream, closing a long line of theoretical research on this problem begun by Flajolet...
Computing a good policy in stochastic uncertain environments with unknown dynamics and reward model parameters is a challenging task. In a number of domains, ranging from space ro...
