High dimensionality of belief space in DEC-POMDPs is one of the major causes that makes the optimal joint policy computation intractable. The belief state for a given agent is a p...
The simplex algorithm computes the simplex multipliers by solving a system (or two triangular systems) at each iteration. This note offers an efficient approach to updating the sim...
Abstract--The paper proposes a model which allows integration of services published by independent providers into scientific or business workflows. Optimization algorithms are prop...
This paper presents a novel methodology to infer parameters of probabilistic models whose output noise is a Student-t distribution. The method is an extension of earlier work for ...
This paper proposes a statistic framework for segmenting textured areas over real images by discriminant snakes. Our active contour model has the ability to learn different textur...
