A large class of stochastic optimization problems can be modeled as minimizing an objective function f that depends on a choice of a vector x ∈ X, as well as on a random external...
An adaptive user interface relies, to a large extent, upon an adequate user model (e.g., a representationof user-expertise). However, building a user model may be a tedious and ti...
The Coin Problem is the following problem: a coin is given, which lands on head with probability either 1/2 + or 1/2 - . We are given the outcome of n independent tosses of this co...
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation involves solving Newton’s equations of motion for a system of atoms, by calculating forces and updating atomic positions and velocities over a...

When an image is viewed at varying resolutions, it is known to create discrete perceptual jumps or transitions amid the continuous intensity changes. In this paper, we study a per...
