Form factors are used in radiosity to describe the fraction of diffusely reflected light leaving one surface and arriving at another. They are a fundamental geometric property us...
Let f(X, Y ) ∈ Z[X, Y ] be an irreducible polynomial over Q. We give a Las Vegas absolute irreducibility test based on a property of the Newton polytope of f, or more precisely,...
Abstract. Alternating least squares (ALS) is a powerful matrix factorization (MF) algorithm for both implicit and explicit feedback based recommender systems. We show that by using...
The scalable parallel implementation, targeting SMP and/or multicore architectures, of dense linear algebra libraries is analyzed. Using the LU factorization as a case study, it is...
A novel Discriminant Non-negative Matrix Factorization (DNMF) method that uses projected gradients, is presented in this paper. The proposed algorithm guarantees the algorithm'...
