The purpose of this paper is to develop parameter transformation strategies that improve the accuracy of the Variational Bayes (VB) approximation. The idea is to find a transform...
— Grasping is a central issue of various robot applications, especially when unknown objects have to be manipulated by the system. In earlier work, we have shown the efficiency ...
This paper develops simple approximate methods to analyze a two-stage stochastic distribution system consisting of one warehouse and multiple retailers. We consider local and cent...
A significant Fourier transform (SFT) algorithm, given a threshold and oracle access to a function f, outputs (the frequencies and approximate values of) all the -significant Fou...
Distributed allocation and multiagent coordination problems can be solved through combinatorial auctions (CAs). However, most of the existing winner determination algorithms (WDAs...
