Abstract. A central task when integrating data from different sources is to detect identical items. For example, price comparison websites have to identify offers for identical p...
We consider the problem of grasping novel objects in cluttered environments. If a full 3-d model of the scene were available, one could use the model to estimate the stability and...
Motivated by issues of saving energy in data centers we define a collection of new problems referred to as "machine activation" problems. The central framework we introd...
We study a subclass of POMDPs, called quasi-deterministic POMDPs (QDET-POMDPs), characterized by deterministic actions and stochastic observations. While this framework does not mo...
Abstract--Many representation schemes have been proposed to deal with non-manifold and mixed dimensionalities objects. A majority of those models are based on incidence graphs and ...
