A Second-Order Uncertainty Model of Independent Random Variables: An Example of the Stress-Strength Reliability
A second-order hierarchical uncertainty model of a system of independent random variables is studied in the paper. It is shown that the complex nonlinear optimization problem for ...

A hierarchical model of data locality
In POPL 2002, Petrank and Rawitz showed a universal result-finding optimal data placement is not only NP-hard but also impossible to approximate within a constant factor if P = NP...

Hierarchical spatial gossip for multi-resolution representations in sensor networks
In this paper we propose a lightweight algorithm for constructing multi-resolution data representations for sensor networks. We compute, at each sensor node u, O(log n) aggregates...

Escaping local minima through hierarchical model selection: Automatic object discovery, segmentation, and tracking in video
Recently, the generative modeling approach to video segmentation has been gaining popularity in the computer vision community. For example, the flexible sprites framework has been...

RD-Optimization of Hierarchical Structured Adaptive Vector Quantization for Video Coding
This paper contains two contributions to very-low-bitrate video coding. First, we show that in contrast to common practice incremental techniques for rate-distortion optimization ...
