Voluminous medical images are generated daily. They are critical assets for medical diagnosis, research, and teaching. To facilitate automatic indexing and retrieval of large medic...
In many important applications, a collection of mutually distrustful parties must perform private computation over multisets. Each party’s input to the function is his private i...
Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDP) provide a standard framework for sequential decision making in stochastic environments. In this setting, an agent takes actio...
Genetic algorithms (GAs) are stochastic search methods that have been successfully applied in many search, optimization, and machine learning problems. Their parallel counterpart (...
Water systems often allow efficient water uses via water reuse and/or recirculation. Defining the network layout connecting water-using processes is a complex problem which involv...
