A common task in many applications is to find persons who are knowledgeable about a given topic (i.e., expert finding). In this paper, we propose and develop a general probabilis...
It is well known that occurrence counts of words in documents are often modeled poorly by standard distributions like the binomial or Poisson. Observed counts vary more than simpl...
We address the stochastic characteristics of a recently-proposed greedy routing scheme. The stochastic behaviour of individual hop advancements is examined to observe the overall ...
This paper presents a multi-view approach to the tracking of people location and orientation. To achieve efficient and accurate likelihood evaluation, a novel likelihood computat...
– This paper describes a fusion of panoramic vision and laser range data to track multiple persons simultaneously from a stationary robot. Particle filters are used to track peop...
