The mixing properties of several Markov chains to sample from configurations of a hard-core model have been examined. The model is familiar in the statistical physics of the liqui...
Inhomogeneous Gibbs model (IGM) [4] is an effective maximum entropy model in characterizing complex highdimensional distributions. However, its training process is so slow that th...
This paper proposes a new methodology to model the distribution of finite size content to a group of users connected through an overlay network. Our methodology describes the distr...
Recent research in frequent pattern mining (FPM) has shifted from obtaining the complete set of frequent patterns to generating only a representative (summary) subset of frequent ...
This paper develops an efficient new method for 3D partial shape retrieval. First, a Monte Carlo sampling strategy is employed to extract local shape signatures from each 3D model...
