— In information theory, it has been shown that network coding can effectively improve the throughput of multicast communication sessions in directed acyclic graphs. More practic...
Abstract--This work studies the near-optimality versus the complexity of distributed configuration management for wireless networks. We first develop a global probabilistic graphic...
The approximation of surfaces to scattered data is an important problem encountered in a variety of scientific applications, such as reverse engineering, computer vision, computer...
In this paper, we provide a heuristic procedure, that performs well from a global optimality point of view, for an important and difficult class of bilevel programs. The algorithm...
We present a directed Markov random field (MRF) model that combines n-gram models, probabilistic context free grammars (PCFGs) and probabilistic latent semantic analysis (PLSA) fo...
