The main purpose of this paper is to promote the study of computational aspects, primarily the convergence rate, of nonlinear dynamical systems from a combinatorial perspective. W...
An increasing number of social networking platforms are giving users the option to endorse entities that they find appealing, such as videos, photos, or even other users. We defin...
Abstract--The emerging video coding standard MPEG-4 enables various content-based functionalities for multimedia applications. To support such functionalities, as well as to improv...
—We consider the problem of positioning a cloud of points in the Euclidean space Rd , from noisy measurements of a subset of pairwise distances. This task has applications in var...
We present a new Monte Carlo method for solving the light transport problem, inspired by the Metropolis sampling method in computational physics. To render an image, we generate a...
