Scientific and intelligence applications have special data handling needs. In these settings, data does not fit the standard model of short coded records that had dominated the dat...
Rendering animations of scenes with deformable objects, camera motion, and complex illumination, including indirect lighting and arbitrary shading, is a long-standing challenge. P...
We study the problem of clustering discrete probability distributions with respect to the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence. This problem arises naturally in many applications. Our...
These days an increasing number of applications, especially in science and engineering, are dealing with a massive amount of data; hence they are dataintensive. Bioinformatics, da...
The accurate generation of soft shadows is a particularly computationally intensive task. In order to reduce rendering time, most real-time and offline applications decorrelate th...
