Abstract— We present a unifying framework for continuous optimization and sampling. This framework is based on Gaussian Adaptation (GaA), a search heuristic developed in the late...
—The delivery of latency sensitive packets is a crucial issue in real time applications of communication networks. Such packets often have a firm deadline and a packet becomes u...
—In this paper, we investigate data parallelism in exact inference with respect to arbitrary junction trees. Exact inference is a key problem in exploring probabilistic graphical...
Abstract. We study the management of buffers and storages in environments with unpredictably varying prices in a competitive analysis. In the economical caching problem, there is ...
We study a generalization of the k-median problem with respect to an arbitrary dissimilarity measure D. Given a finite set P of size n, our goal is to find a set C of size k such t...
