Let K be a polytope in Rn defined by m linear inequalities. We give a new Markov Chain algorithm to draw a nearly uniform sample from K. The underlying Markov Chain is the first t...
In this paper, we design recommender systems for weblogs based on the link structure among them. We propose algorithms based on refined random walks and spectral methods. First, w...
In this paper we study the behavior of a continuous time random walk (CTRW) on a stationary and ergodic time varying dynamic graph. We establish conditions under which the CTRW is...

Abstract. We propose a novel restoration method for defects and missing regions in video sequences, particularly in application to archive film restoration. Our statistical framew...
In 1873 Francis Galton had constructed a simple mechanical device where a ball is dropped vertically through a harrow of pins that deflect the ball sideways as it falls. Galton c...
