Abstract— We investigate the fairness and throughput properties of a simple distributed scheduling policy, maximal scheduling, in the context of a general ad-hoc wireless network...
This work proposes a new approach to the retrieval of images from text queries. Contrasting with previous work, this method relies on a discriminative model: the parameters are sel...
We analyze controllability and observability conditions for second order descriptor systems and show how the classical conditions for first order systems can be generalized to this...
Matching Pursuit algorithms learn a function that is a weighted sum of basis functions, by sequentially appending functions to an initially empty basis, to approximate a target fu...
Prior knowledge, in the form of simple advice rules, can greatly speed up convergence in learning algorithms. Online learning methods predict the label of the current point and the...
