We analyze the convergence of randomized trace estimators. Starting at 1989, several algorithms have been proposed for estimating the trace of a matrix by 1 M M i=1 zT i Azi, where...
We introduce a study of position auctions, with an explicit modeling of user navigation through ads. We refer to our model as the PPA model, since it is most applicable in the con...
■ Representing object position is one of the most critical functions of the visual system, but this task is not as simple as reading off an objectʼs retinal coordinates. A rich...
Abstract. In this paper we describe a new method and user interface for interactive positioning of a mobile device. The key element of this method is a questionanswer style dialogu...
Background: Profile-based analysis of multiple sequence alignments (MSA) allows for accurate comparison of protein families. Here, we address the problems of detecting statistical...
