In this paper we introduce the idea of snapshot queries for energy efficient data acquisition in sensor networks. Network nodes generate models of their surrounding environment th...
This paper addresses the problem of learning archetypal structural models from examples. To this end we define a generative model for graphs where the distribution of observed nod...
In EM and related algorithms, E-step computations distribute easily, because data items are independent given parameters. For very large data sets, however, even storing all of th...
We propose a probabilistic contract signing protocol that achieves balance even in the presence of an adversary that may delay messages sent over secure channels. To show that this...
Message-Passing Interface (MPI) has become a standard for parallel applications in high-performance computing. Within a single cluster node, MPI implementations benefit from the s...
