Many black box optimization algorithms have sufcient exibility to allow them to adapt to the varying circumstances they encounter. These capabilities are of two primary sorts: 1) ...
In domains like confocal microscopy, the imaging process is based on detection of photons. It is established the additive Gaussian noise model is a poor description of the actual ...
We present a "parts and structure" model for object category recognition that can be learnt efficiently and in a weakly-supervised manner: the model is learnt from examp...
Many parallel applications from scientific computing use MPI global communication operations to collect or distribute data. Since the execution times of these communication opera...
This paper investigates the performance of a content distribution network designed to provide bounded content access latency. Content can be divided into multiple classes with dif...
