Abstract. Inspired by the early visual system of many mammalians we consider the construction of-and reconstruction from- an orientation score Uf : R2 ×S1 → C as a local orienta...
Often, an outcome must be chosen on the basis of the preferences reported by a group of agents. The key difficulty is that the agents may report their preferences insincerely to m...
In this work, we consider a distributed source coding problem with a joint distortion criterion depending on the sources and the reconstruction. This includes as a special case the...
A family of permutations in Sn is k-wise independent if a uniform permutation chosen from the family maps any distinct k elements to any distinct k elements equally likely. Effici...
Gibbs sampling also known as Glauber dynamics is a popular technique for sampling high dimensional distributions defined on graphs. Of special interest is the behavior of Gibbs sa...
