A local cell quality metric is introduced and used to construct a variational functional for a grid smoothing algorithm. A maximum principle is proved and the properties of the loc...
As distributed technologies become more widely used, the need for assessing the quality of distributed applications correspondingly increases. Despite the rich body of research an...
In software development, resources for quality assurance are limited by time and by cost. In order to allocate resources effectively, managers need to rely on their experience bac...
Distance-based methods in machine learning and pattern recognition have to rely on a metric distance between points in the input space. Instead of specifying a metric a priori, we...
We present metric?? , a provably near-optimal algorithm for reinforcement learning in Markov decision processes in which there is a natural metric on the state space that allows t...
