This paper presents a novel vector quantizer (VQ) design algorithm for a burst error channel (BEC). The algorithm minimizes the average distortion when the BEC is in normal state o...
Sheffield's participation in the inaugural Arabic cross language track is described here. Our goal was to examine how well one could achieve retrieval of Arabic text with the...
There exist a number of reinforcement learning algorithms which learn by climbing the gradient of expected reward. Their long-run convergence has been proved, even in partially ob...
In this paper we present a genetic approach for the efficient generation of an encoder to minimize switching activity on the high-capacity lines of a communication bus. The appro...

Abstract. We consider the minimization of a smooth convex function regularized by the mixture of prior models. This problem is generally difficult to solve even each simpler regula...
