In this paper, we formalize and prove the statement that coincidences cannot be accidental, a statement that underlies many useful heuristics in mathematics and physics. Our proof...
All positive examples are alike; each negative example is negative in its own way. During interactive multimedia information retrieval, the number of training samples fed-back by ...
Policy evaluation is a critical step in the approximate solution of large Markov decision processes (MDPs), typically requiring O(|S|3 ) to directly solve the Bellman system of |S...
We present a novel reasoning calculus for Description Logics (DLs)--knowledge representation formalisms with applications in areas such as the Semantic Web. In order to reduce the ...
—This paper proposes an improved version for the JSEG color image segmentation algorithm, combining the classical JSEG algorithm and a local fractal operator that measures the fr...
