We study a q-analog Qr(n, q) of the partition algebra Pr(n). The algebra Qr(n, q) arises as the centralizer algebra of the finite general linear group GLn(Fq) acting on a vector ...
Approximate linear programming (ALP) is an efficient approach to solving large factored Markov decision processes (MDPs). The main idea of the method is to approximate the optimal...
A central problem in built-in self test (BIST) is how to efficiently generate a small set of test vectors that detect all targeted faults. We propose a novel solution that uses l...
The TREC-2001 Web track evaluation experiments at the Justsystem site are described with a focus on the "aboutness" based approach in text retrieval. In the web ad hoc t...
Solid texturing is a powerful way to add detail to the surface of rendered objects. Perlin's "noise" is a 3D basis function used in some of the most dramatic and us...
