Abstract. Three theoretical perspectives upon conservation of performance in function optimization are outlined. In terms of statistical information, performance is conserved when ...
We describe a novel method for node localization in a sensor network where there are a fraction of reference nodes with known locations. For application-specific sensor networks, ...
State-of-the-art object retrieval systems are mostly based on the bag-of-visual-words representation which encodes local appearance information of an image in a feature vector. A ...
A variety of preference aggregation schemes and voting rules have been developed in social choice to support group decision making. However, the requirement that participants provi...
Abstract-- We consider problems where multiple agents cooperate to control their individual state so as to optimize a common objective while communicating with each other to exchan...
