Estimating characteristics of large graphs via sampling is a vital part of the study of complex networks. Current sampling methods such as (independent) random vertex and random w...
We develop a penalized kernel smoothing method for the problem of selecting nonzero elements of the conditional precision matrix, known as conditional covariance selection. This p...
This paper evaluates the performance of edge-based directional probability distributions as features in writer identification in comparison to a number of non-angular features. It...
Abstract—In order to achieve data delivery in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN), researchers have proposed the use of store-carryand-forward protocols: a node there may store a messa...
