In this paper we formulate the problem of grouping the states of a discrete Markov chain of arbitrary order simultaneously with deconvolving its transition probabilities. As the na...
Keyword search techniques that take advantage of XML structure make it very easy for ordinary users to query XML databases, but current approaches to processing these queries rely...
In visual processing the ability to deal with missing and noisy information is crucial. Occlusions and unreliable feature detectors often lead to situations where little or no dir...
In this report, we consider the problem of real-time transmission scheduling over time-varying channels. We first formulate the transmission scheduling problem as a Markov decisio...
We show how to build hierarchical, reduced-rank representation for large stochastic matrices and use this representation to design an efficient algorithm for computing the largest...
