We present a polynomial-time perfect sampler for the Q-Ising with a vertex-independent noise. The Q-Ising, one of the generalized models of the Ising, arose in the context of Baye...
Statistical multiplexing aims at transmitting several variable bit rate (VBR) encoded video streams over a bandlimited channel. Rate-distortion (RD) models for the encoded streams ...
Abstract. This paper addresses the problem of capturing rich, longterm personal activity logs of users’ interactions with their workstations, for the purpose of deriving predicti...
