Abstract. In this paper we unify divergence minimization and statistical inference by means of convex duality. In the process of doing so, we prove that the dual of approximate max...
It is a well-known problem that intrusion detection systems overload their human operators by triggering thousands of alarms per day. As a matter of fact, we have been asked by on...
We consider the problem of computing, out of a set C of trees and a rewrite system R, those trees in C that cannot be rewritten into a tree in C. We solve this problem for sets of ...
We investigate the following translational 2D polygon covering problem: for a collection of covering polygons and a target point (or polygon) set, decide if the covering polygons ...
We examine the problem of approximating, in the Frobenius-norm sense, a positive, semidefinite symmetric matrix by a rank-one matrix, with an upper bound on the cardinality of its...
