Abstract a paradigm of modern Machine Learning (ML) which uses rewards and punishments to guide the learning process. One of the central ideas of RL is learning by “direct-online...
This paper presents a statistical model for textures that uses a non-negative decomposition on a set of local atoms learned from an exemplar. This model is described by the varianc...
Abstract. Renewed interest in ALOHA-based Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols stems from their proposed applications to wireless ad hoc and sensor networks that require distribut...
A family of subsets C of [n] def = {1, . . . , n} is (r, t)exclusive if for every S ⊂ [n] of size at least n − r, there exist S1, . . . , St ∈ C with S = S1∪S2∪· · · ...
Trace-driven simulation is an important technique used in the evaluation of computer architecture innovations. However using it for studying parallel computers and applications is...
