Dynamic graph connectivity algorithms have been studied for many years, but typically in the most general possible setting, where the graph can evolve in completely arbitrary ways...
In this paper, we reveal a common deficiency of the current retrieval models: the component of term frequency (TF) normalization by document length is not lower-bounded properly;...
An important trend in Web information processing is the support of multimedia retrieval. However, the most prevailing paradigm for multimedia retrieval, content-based retrieval (C...
Decentralized MDPs provide powerful models of interactions in multi-agent environments, but are often very difficult or even computationally infeasible to solve optimally. Here we...
Learning, planning, and representing knowledge in large state t multiple levels of temporal abstraction are key, long-standing challenges for building flexible autonomous agents. ...
