Computer vision tasks often require the robust fit of a model to some data. In a robust fit, two major steps should be taken: i) robustly estimate the parameters of a model, and ii...
We present a study of the degree to which annotations overlap when several researchers read the same set of scientific articles. Our objective is to determine whether there is suf...
This paper shows that, in an environment where we do not bound the number of faulty processes, the class P of Perfect failure detectors is the weakest (among realistic failure det...
Suppose we have a directed graph G with set of nodes V = {1, . . . , N} and a measure xi for every node i V . The average consensus problem consists in computing the average xA = ...
We define two new classes of shared-memory objects: ratifiers, which detect agreement, and conciliators, which ensure agreement with some probability. We show that consensus can...
