— The recent progress in robot mapping (or SLAM) algorithms has focused on estimating either point features (such as landmarks) or grid-based representations. Both of these repre...
In Description Logics (DLs), both tableau-based and automata-based algorithms are frequently used to show decidability and complexity results for basic inference problems such as c...
Data aggregation plays an important role in the design of scalable systems, allowing the determination of meaningful system-wide properties to direct the execution of distributed a...
We extend the well-known BFGS quasi-Newton method and its memory-limited variant LBFGS to the optimization of nonsmooth convex objectives. This is done in a rigorous fashion by ge...
The Earth Mover's Distance (EMD) is a similarity measure that captures perceptual difference between two distributions. Its computational complexity, however, prevents a direc...
