Approximate Discrete Probability Distribution Representation Using a Multi-Resolution Binary Tree
Computing and storing probabilities is a hard problem as soon as one has to deal with complex distributions over multiples random variables. The problem of efficient representati...

Computing longest duration flocks in trajectory data
Moving point object data can be analyzed through the discovery of patterns. We consider the computational efficiency of computing two of the most basic spatio-temporal patterns in...
