We introduce a new EM framework in which it is possible not only to optimize the model parameters but also the number of model components. A key feature of our approach is that we...
We revisit the problem of computing shortest obstacle-avoiding paths among obstacles in three dimensions. We prove new hardness results, showing, e.g., that computing Euclidean sh...
In the k-Restricted-Focus-of-Attention (k-RFA) model, only k of the n attributes of each example are revealed to the learner, although the set of visible attributes in each example...

Detecting changes in spatial datasets is important for many fields. In this paper, we introduce a methodology for change analysis in spatial datasets that combines contouring algor...

The work addresses the problem of identifying the epistatic linkage of a function from high cardinality alphabets to the real numbers. It is a generalization of Heckendorn and Wri...
