We consider the distributed computation of a function of random sources with minimal communication. Specifically, given two discrete memoryless sources, X and Y , a receiver wishe...
Over 90 percent of all microprocessors are now used for realtime and embedded applications. Since the behavior of these applications is often constrained by the physical world, it...
— We consider dual subgradient methods for solving (nonsmooth) convex constrained optimization problems. Our focus is on generating approximate primal solutions with performance ...
The problem of guessing a random string is revisited and some prior results on guessing exponents are re-derived using the theory of large deviations. It is shown that if the seque...
Multiple Classification Ripple Down Rules (MCRDR) is a simple and effective knowledge acquisition technique that produces representations, or knowledge maps, of a human expert’s ...
