The results of the latest International Probabilistic Planning Competition (IPPC-2008) indicate that the presence of dead ends, states with no trajectory to the goal, makes MDPs h...
Actions in real world applications typically take place in cluttered environments with large variations in the orientation and scale of the actor. We present an approach to simult...
A broad class of boosting algorithms can be interpreted as performing coordinate-wise gradient descent to minimize some potential function of the margins of a data set. This class...
As multiprocessors become mainstream, techniques to address efficient simulation of multi-threaded workloads are needed. Multi-threaded simulation presents a new challenge: non-d...
The only practical way to test distributed messagepassing systems is to use local testing. In this approach, used in formalisms such as concurrent TTCN-3, some components are repl...
