Hard disk drive failures are rare but are often costly. The ability to predict failures is important to consumers, drive manufacturers, and computer system manufacturers alike. In...
We consider the problem of PAC-learning distributions over strings, represented by probabilistic deterministic finite automata (PDFAs). PDFAs are a probabilistic model for the gen...
Abstract. We introduce a nonparametric model for sensitivity estimation which relies on generating points similar to the prediction point using its k nearest neighbors. Unlike most...
When comparing discrete probability distributions, natural measures of similarity are not p distances but rather are informationdivergences such as Kullback-Leibler and Hellinger. ...
A light field means a 4-D function which characterizes the flow of light rays from a target scene, and used for image-based rendering. This paper presents a novel theoretical fr...
