Recent research in multi-robot exploration and mapping has focused on sampling environmental fields, which are typically modeled using the Gaussian process (GP). Existing informa...
We develop a method for predicting query performance by computing the relative entropy between a query language model and the corresponding collection language model. The resultin...
This paper introduces a robust adaptive patches sampling technique. The method does not rely on the use of keypoints to extract local information but all information contained in ...
— Peer-to-peer systems are becoming increasingly popular, with millions of simultaneous users and a wide range of applications. Understanding existing systems and devising new pe...
