In field environments it is not usually possible to provide robots in advance with valid geometric models of its environment and task element locations. The robot or robot teams ne...
We study the simultaneous message passing model of communication complexity. Building on the quantum fingerprinting protocol of Buhrman et al., Yao recently showed that a large cl...
Local minima and plateaus pose a serious problem in learning of neural networks. We investigate the hierarchical geometric structure of the parameter space of three-layer perceptr...
Spatial relations are the basis for many selections users perform when they query geographic information systems (GISs). Although such query languages use natural-language-like te...

We consider a model of random trees similar to the split trees of Devroye [30] in which a set of items is recursively partitioned. Our model allows for more flexibility in the cho...
