In a multi-armed bandit problem, an online algorithm chooses from a set of strategies in a sequence of n trials so as to maximize the total payoff of the chosen strategies. While ...
Sorting hierarchical data in external memory is necessary for a wide variety of applications including archiving scientific data and dealing with large XML datasets. The topic of ...
— Virtual Private Networks (VPN) provide a secure and reliable communication between customer sites over a shared network. With increase in number and size of VPNs, providers nee...
A PCNNs-based square-and-triangle-template method for binary fingerprint image thinning is proposed. The algorithm is iterative, in which a combined sequential and parallel proces...
We introduce a general-purpose learning machine that we call the Guaranteed Error Machine, or GEM, and two learning algorithms, a real GEM algorithm and an ideal GEM algorithm. Th...
