We address performance issues associated with simulationbased algorithms for optimizing Markov reward processes. Specifically, we are concerned with algorithms that exploit the re...
Abstract. This paper presents an exemplar-based approach to detecting and localizing human actions, such as running, cycling, and swinging, in realistic videos with dynamic backgro...
In WDM networks, it is important to protect connections against link failures due to the high bandwidth provided by a fiber link. Although many p-cycle based schemes have been pro...
Let NF(n, k, r) denote the maximum number of columns in an n-row matrix with entries in a finite field F in which each column has at most r nonzero entries and every k columns are...
— Max-product belief propagation is a local, iterative algorithm to find the mode/MAP estimate of a probability distribution. While it has been successfully employed in a wide v...
