A new spectral approach to value function approximation has recently been proposed to automatically construct basis functions from samples. Global basis functions called proto-val...
With the success of local features in object recognition, feature-set representations are widely used in computer vision and related domains. Pyramid match kernel (PMK) is an effi...
Many existing peer-to-peer content distribution networks (CDNs) such as Na Kika, CoralCDN, and CoDeeN are deployed on PlanetLab, a relatively trusted environment. But scaling them...
