Abstract— The paper presents an efficient construction algorithm for obtaining sparse kernel density estimates based on a regression approach that directly optimizes model gener...
We study a sequential variance reduction technique for Monte Carlo estimation of functionals in Markov Chains. The method is based on designing sequential control variates using s...
We propose a new technique for quad-dominant remeshing which separates the local regularity requirements from the global alignment requirements by working in two steps. In the fir...
Although the presence of a schema enables many optimizations for operations on XML documents, recent studies have shown that many XML documents in practice either do not refer to ...
Joint data alignment is often regarded as a data simplification process. This idea is powerful and general, but raises two delicate issues. First, one must make sure that the usef...
