Abstract. We propose a new statistical approach to analyzing stochastic systems against specifications given in a sublogic of continuous stochastic logic (CSL). Unlike past numeri...
Software testing can be re-formulated as a search problem, hence search algorithms (e.g., Genetic Algorithms) can be used to tackle it. Most of the research so far has been of emp...
Abstract. In distributed computer networks where resources are under decentralized control, selfish users will generally not work towards one common goal, such as maximizing the o...
We study a class of overrelaxed bound optimization algorithms, and their relationship to standard bound optimizers, such as ExpectationMaximization, Iterative Scaling, CCCP and No...
Large 0-1 datasets arise in various applications, such as market basket analysis and information retrieval. We concentrate on the study of topic models, aiming at results which in...
