We consider an optimization problem in probabilistic inference: Given n hypotheses Hj, m possible observations Ok, their conditional probabilities pk j, and a particular Ok, selec...
Algorithms for discrete energy minimization are of fundamental importance in computer vision. In this paper we focus on the recent technique proposed by Wainwright et al. [33] - t...
We consider a macroscopic (drift-diffusion) model describing a simple microwave generator, consisting of a special type of semiconductor material that, when biased above a certain ...
Specification, modeling and analysis of interactions among peers that communicate via messages are becoming increasingly important due to the emergence of service oriented computi...
Preference queries are relational algebra or SQL queries that contain occurrences of the winnow operator (find the most preferred tuples in a given relation). Such queries are pa...
