We study multivariate approximation for continuous functions in the average case setting. The space of d variate continuous functions is equipped with the zero mean Gaussian measu...
We show how to compute the edit distance between two strings of length n up to a factor of 2 ~O( log n) in n1+o(1) time. This is the first sub-polynomial approximation algorithm f...
Image classification and annotation are important problems
in computer vision, but rarely considered together. Intuitively,
annotations provide evidence for the class label,
and...
We pose the problem of tracing traitors, who have colluded to circumvent a multimedia fingerprinting system, as a sparse underdetermined linear problem. We propose a range of det...
We present an approximation method that solves a class of Decentralized hybrid Markov Decision Processes (DEC-HMDPs). These DEC-HMDPs have both discrete and continuous state variab...
