Lazy learning is a memory-based technique that, once a query is received, extracts a prediction interpolating locally the neighboring examples of the query which are considered re...
In this paper, we propose the localized adaptive QoS routing scheme using POMDP(partially observable Markov Decision Processes) and Exploration Bonus. In order to deal with POMDP p...
We investigate the role of sparsity and localized features in a biologically-inspired model of visual object classification. As in the model of Serre, Wolf, and Poggio, we first a...
The hit criterion is a key component of heuristic local alignment algorithms. It specifies a class of patterns assumed to witness a potential similarity, and this choice is decisi...
This paper addresses the questions of whether, and if so, how and to what extent the Internet brings about homogenization of the local cultures in the world. It examines a particul...
