— There has been much recent interest in protocol design for wireless networks based on maximizing a network utility function. A significant advance in recent years is the obser...
— In this paper, we revisit the problem of multicast tree construction in overlay peer-to-peer networks. We present an iterative online multicast tree construction algorithm for ...
The constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) is a central generic problem in artificial intelligence. Considerable effort has been made in identifying properties which ensure tractabi...
In this work, we are concerned with the detection of multiple objects in an image. We demonstrate that typically applied objectives have the structure of a random field model, but...
We consider the problem of learning to rank relevant and novel documents so as to directly maximize a performance metric called Expected Global Utility (EGU), which has several de...
