A new, general approach is described for approximate inference in first-order probabilistic languages, using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques in the space of concrete po...
The PageRank algorithm, used in the Google search engine, greatly improves the results of Web search by taking into account the link structure of the Web. PageRank assigns to a pa...
The past decade has seen a remarkable resurgence of the old programme of finding more or less a priori axioms for the mathematical framework of quantum mechanics. The new impetus...
We consider the problem of reliable broadcast in a wireless network in which nodes are prone to failure. In the failure mode considered in this paper, each node can fail independe...
This paper presents a new technique for the perception of activities using statistical description of spatio-temporal properties. With this approach, the probability of an activit...
