We consider the problem of estimating occurrence rates of rare events for extremely sparse data, using pre-existing hierarchies to perform inference at multiple resolutions. In pa...

Many multimedia applications rely on the computation of logarithms, for example, when estimating log-likelihoods for Gaussian Mixture Models. Knowing of the demand to compute loga...
A collision resolution scheme is essential to the performance of a random-access wireless network. Most schemes employ exponential backoff (EB) to adjust the transmission attempt ...
Cycle-harvesting systems such as Condor have been developed to make desktop machines in a local area (which are often similar to clusters in hardware configuration) available as ...
Segmentation of motion in an image sequence is one of the most challenging problems in image processing, while at the same time one that finds numerous applications. To date, a wea...
