Classifiers that refrain from classification in certain cases can significantly reduce the misclassification cost. However, the parameters for such abstaining classifiers are ofte...
We show a close relationship between the Expectation - Maximization (EM) algorithm and direct optimization algorithms such as gradientbased methods for parameter learning. We iden...

The performance of multiuser detection (MUD) algorithms for codedivision multiple-access (CDMA) systems depends on the accuracy of channel estimates. Such estimates are typically ...
—The self-protecting multipath (SPM) is a simple protection switching mechanism that can be implemented, e.g., by MPLS. We present a linear program for the optimization of the SP...
— Traditional Physical Carrier Sensing (PCS), which aims at eliminating hidden terminals in wireless networks, causes too many exposed terminals and deteriorates the throughput p...
