The distribution of keys by a hash function as used in hash search with chaining is studied by considering the distribution of keys a random function from keys to buckets would gi...
Mixtures of Gaussians are among the most fundamental and widely used statistical models. Current techniques for learning such mixtures from data are local search heuristics with w...
Abstract. We present a novel, simple, unsupervised method for characterizing the semantic relations that hold between nouns in noun-noun compounds. The main idea is to discover pre...
We present a heuristic approach to the geometric motion planning problem with the aim to quickly solve intuitively simple problems. It is based on a divide-and-conquer path search...
This work focuses on the synthesis of finite-state machines (FSMs) by observing its input/output behaviors. Evolutionary approaches that have been proposed to solve this problem do...
