The existing literature on optimal auctions focuses on optimizing the expected revenue of the seller, and is appropriate for risk-neutral sellers. In this paper, we identify good ...
The alternating xpoint of a logic program with negation is de ned constructively. The underlying idea is monotonically to build up a set of negative conclusions until the least xp...
A distributed task T is 1-solvable if there exists a protocol that solves it in the presence of (at most) one crash failure. A precise characterization of the 1-solvable tasks was...
We tackle the previously unaddressed problem of unsupervised determination of the optimal morphological segmentation for statistical machine translation (SMT) and propose a segmen...
We describe a novel and robust feature descriptor called ordinal spatial intensity distribution (OSID) which is invariant to any monotonically increasing brightness changes. Many t...
