We introduce a class of learning problems where the agent is presented with a series of tasks. Intuitively, if there is relation among those tasks, then the information gained duri...
Abstract—We describe a trellis-based algorithm which enables R-D optimum quantization decisions in the H.263+ video coding standard. The algorithm allows the quantization decisio...
Advances of sensor and RFID technology provide significant new power for humans to sense, understand and manage the world. RFID provides fast data collection with precise identific...
Using qualitative reasoning with geographic information, contrarily, for instance, with robotics, looks not only fastidious (i.e.: encoding knowledge Propositional Logics PL), but ...
Database Management Systems (DBMS) are complex software systems which are used in an increasing number of applications. To obtain the best performance for business relevant applic...
