Uknown to us, an axially-symmetric surface is broken into disjoint pieces along a set of break-curves, i.e., the curves along which the surface locally breaks into two pieces. A s...
If you were told that some object A was perfectly (or somewhat, or not at all) in some direction (e.g., west, above-right) of some reference object B, where in space would you loo...
Traditional machine learning makes a basic assumption: the training and test data should be under the same distribution. However, in many cases, this identicaldistribution assumpt...
The problem of computing low rank approximations of matrices is considered. The novel aspect of our approach is that the low rank approximations are on a collection of matrices. W...
If all features causing heterogeneity were observed, a mixture of experts approach (Jacobs et al., 1991) is likely to be superior to using a single model. When unobserved or very n...
