Abstract. The recently introduced family of natural evolution strategies (NES), a novel stochastic descent method employing the natural gradient, is providing a more principled alt...
The increasing complexity of today’s systems makes fast and accurate failure detection essential for their use in mission-critical applications. Various monitoring methods provi...
Current trends in high-performance parallel computers show that fat-tree interconnection networks are one of the most popular topologies. The particular characteristics of this to...

Let C be a class of probability distributions over a finite set . A function D : {0, 1}m is a disperser for C with entropy threshold k and error if for any distribution X in C s...
The use of illumination and view dependent textural information is one way to capture the realistic appearance of genuine materials. One example of such data is the bidirectional ...
