This paper presents a novel method that effectively combines both control variates and importance sampling in a sequential Monte Carlo context. The radiance estimates computed dur...
The visibility function in direct illumination describes the binary visibility over a light source, e.g., an environment map. Intuitively, the visibility is often strongly correla...
Abstract--We study the design of media streaming applications in the presence of multiple heterogeneous wireless access methods with different throughputs and costs. Our objective ...
One of the major goals of computational sequence analysis is to find sequence similarities, which could serve as evidence of structural and functional conservation, as well as of ...
We present a novel approach to semisupervised learning which is based on statistical physics. Most of the former work in the field of semi-supervised learning classifies the point...
